the errtng lady being thus left alone n
helpless to face the coming divorce her
husband is seeking to obtain against her.
The Hartopp case Is one Of many which
had their origin in Leicestershire during
the hunting season. The last before this
was the Downshire case. when the Mar
Quis of Downshire secured a decree Of d.
vorce from his pretty wife, naming Captain
J. F.. Laycock, a very wealthy racing man
and yachtsman, as correspondent. The other
day Captain Laycock married the beauti-
full Warehouses. They are now In Paris,
enjoying life at the Ritz.
It Is a regrettable fact that more than
half the divorces in fashionable society
spring from intimacies made and fostered
in the hunting field. -

arose from a wife's desertion Of the conju-
gal domicile. Her husband peremptorily
summoned her to return. using insulting ad-

Q divorce.
The court granted the same. though the
Judgment reciting the facts pointed out that
the circumstances OF the case seemed to In
dictate that the procedure originated in a
desire Of parties Of b.ameless morals and
small fortune to secure a release from each
other without resorting to misconduct.

ferred the society Of NJ. Frederick Leroy to
that Of her husband. the upshot being tina
