Sixty thousand wives carrying their
woes every year to the police court is
a greater number than the annual crop
of brides. states the New York Even
ing World. 1t is the police courts
more than the divorce courts which
tell the stories of marital failures.
Divorce is against the religious be-
liefs of many women and it is opposed
to the feminine instincts of many
more. Especially where there are
children mother shrinks from divorce
because of the stigma it may place
upon them. Then, divorce is expen-
sive and the tens of thousands of wives
who go to the police courts have no
money to spare. If they had, they
would be taking other proceedings than
to apply to a magistrate for the few
dollars a week which is all that court
allows. Many women go more than
once A husband may meet his pay
ments for a few months or until his
bend expires, and then either hide in
New York or so without the jurisdic-
ton of the court Desertion has re-
Gently been made an extradltable of
tense, which may in part account for
the recent increase ia the number Of
applications from deserted wives. In
fidelity is not the reason which the
women most frequently give for their
domestic differences. Quarre;hng over
the cooking, or drinking. or a general
distaste and aversion are the most
frequent causes. The husband has
come to the conclusion that his life
would be more peaceful and things
would go more easily with him if he
had only himself TO look after, and he
simply goes away 1t is rarely that
a husband goes to police court to
complain of his wife If he is dis
satisfied he departs If she is dis
satisfied she seems to prefer to keep
him near her. subject to the ccastanf
punishment Of her tongue.

The Grange of the Patrons of Illus
bandry, at Thorofare, q few miles from
Woodbury., has struck an original idea
for entertainment that is unique. AT
the last meeting the women brought
pies and told of their contents, how
they We're made and all about them.
Another brought a pudding and ex-
planned its make. The men did not
seem interested in the proceedings I'M
til the time came for testing" In thie
they took a prominent part Mrs. Isa-
belle Carter laid particular stress on
pie crusts, and her production was fine.
Mrs. Reeds pudding was pronounced
the finest ever tasted. Mrs. Ida Herr

ways of cooking white potatoes, and
produced white potato pie, which
everybody declared was equal to the
famous sweet potato pie

experts was formed to investigate the
causes, cure, distribution and all other
eccentricitles of fogs. Their report
stated that fogs could not be traced to
any special locality; that they seemed
to be rather the result of general at

sucking in suburban fogs and mixing
