JURY OF WOMEN
FIND DIVORCE CAUSES


St. Louis women, sitting as q jury
upon the questions OF the elementary
causes Of divorce, here give their views
through the Post Dispatch.
The verdict is unanimous that the
u~roportion Of divorces to marriages Is
entirely too great and that the public
attitude toward divorces is radically
wrong.
There is less unanimity OF opinion
as to the elementary causes for the
unusual number OF divorces. Lack oil
regard for the religious feature OF the
matrimonial contract, q general dis
position toward fiippancy, foollshly
romantic notions which lead TO the
heroIzlng OF clipping couples when they
should be made TO feel the gravity Of
| their otIense, a lack OF strlctDess on
the part OF both church and state In
authorizing marriages and In making
divorce easy, are among the causes CIV
en-. Following are some opinions
given by ST Louis women;
TWELVE COMMON CAUSES OF DIVORCE.
Girls marry men they knew little
about.
There is too much Independence be-
tween husband and wife.
Young people frequently are obliged
to live with their parents.
Marriage, regarded as simply a con-
tract, without the religious element.
Ministers have married persons they
knew we're not fit TO be married.
The blacksmith's son cannot live
happily with the daughter OF the mar
in a higher social sphere.
Lawyers who solicit trade by
guaranteeing prompt divorces are
largely responsible.
Elopements cause entertainment
and amusement, but not the anxiety
which they should.
The example OF New York's -Four
Hundred is bad for the rest Of the
country.
Women Of to-day do not show enough
loyalty to their husbands.
Divorce Is so easy 10 secur married
persons treat lightly bonds Of matri-
mony.
Young women do not heed advice OF
parents in regard TO marriage.
