Interested in sustaining its validity, as
otherwise she would not have been le-

has ample grounds for divorce with
out resorting to technicalities.
Mrs. Blaine has given the first inter-
view she has granted since her arrival
here fortnight ago.
On her way here Mrs. Blaine an
nounced her intention to establish q
legal residence in Sioux Falls for the
purpose OF obtaining a divorce. Inn
mediately upon her arrival She em-
ployed Peter j. Rogde as her attorney
admit that she was here for the pur-
pose of getting a divorce. as she must
establish in court that she came here
as bona fide resident
Accordingly she was very chary
about discussing her plans, predicating
her statements on the theory that she
had not decided whether to sue for
divorce or not. She says she has per-
manently left the parental roof of Ad-
miral Hitchborn at Washington. She
