The San Francisco call., 1906-08-26
By Arthur |. Street.

7 doesn't seem 10 make any differ
ence, il one may judge from the
general drift Of the divorce court
OF late, whether the grounds al
legged by the complainant in
divorce suit are born out of whole
cloth or are rent straight out of the
heart. They come up for hearing with
the same boldness that was shown by
the conspirators in the remarkable
Hartje case at Pittsburg, and, in
minor degree. with the same brszen
publicity that has marked the Corey
scandal of the same city. or the more
locally familiar Schiller case in San
Francisco.
In fact, when one reads a little
closely into current conditions one finds
the homely divorce cases-those affect
ing the people of ordinary means, or
the poor-even more remarkable than
the big ones which hIl the columns of
the newspapers of all States. If a hus-
band happens to be ascetic and re-
CARDS his marital relationship as
purely platonic one. the wife seems to
thing nothing OF haling the whole af-
fair before the bar and asking that
she be relieved OF her dreamy mate.
If wife is OF that unfortunate ma
ture that acts like a soaked blanket on
a husabnd's ambitions. there seems TO
be no modern play such as Young Mrs.
winthrop to show the troubled
couple that there is a better course
than the merely legal separation"
The husband hikes to the Justice, ac-
knowledge that. as far as he is con-
cerned, his marriage is a failure. and
secures the liberty to try it again with
some other woman.
The cause celebre, after all, is not
the pith of the divorce problem. The
zeal pith is the cause common, the
cause that gets down into the life o
she average man. And one needs but
to read the daily newspaper rather
freely TO find out. There is something
wrong IN the man and wife relation
as il affects the ordinary couple of
every day. or else there is something
wrong in the ordinary couple.
Take the first instance mentioned
above. that OF pulling the covers of
the wife" Mrs Annie f. Cell OF San
Francisco sued Herman Cell for di-
vorce after they had been married
nineteen years. The excuse given was
this peculiar one
Herman was in the habit of rising
at ? or 3 o'clock every morning. and
as he did so pulling the covers off An
ME his wife. He then turned on all
the lights and kept them burning un-
I'll sunrise This might well enough
be for fun's sake. or it might be self
ish thoughtIessness. But whatever it
was. the testimony in the court showed
that Herman was inclined to rub il in.
He went about slamming doors and
otherwise making noise to prevent
Annie falling into doze.
! still another fault OF Herman's
which Mrs Cell complained of was
taat he was given to long FITS Of
.ilence wherein he neglected TO speak
70 her. and when she was in the hos
pital he refused to visit her.
And all this only brought TO the
courts notice after nineteen years OF
matrimonyi

Mrs. Striker remained at home pre-
sumably with the usual heartburnings

women always face such separations.
whether the latter are made for busi-
ness reasons or for var But when
after the lapse Of what she deemed a
reasonable time Frederick refused to
return she could endure 1t no longer
and went north TO join him.
Literal Case of Frozen Feet.
There came the pinch! Unlike ! the
woman in Jack London's most recent
story, "The Unexpected" Mrs. Striker
did not take kindly to the rough en-
vironment Her feet got cold, in two
ways First, physically, because, as
she averred in her complaint. ''his
cabin In Dawson was so unfit for habl-
tation that her feet froze In It, II used
to be as cold as 90 degrees below zero
al times'' Second, mentally because
she decided to give 1t all up and return
to her original home In Oakland
What there could be In code of
domestic advice that would better a
situation such as this it is of course
not very practicable to attempt to state
But The fact remains that the mans
spirit OF adventure and his disregard OF
the material comforts which few

granted tnat Mrs. Cruess was worth
less because she wouldn't cook or wash.
She might have had some other line of
life that would have kept her active
and interested and useful. This the new
ethics Of marriage when it is finally
devised may point the means fer bring
