they are odd, in others because they

of these reasons. Mr.. Mathews thinks
that when his collection has reached

GILMORE DIVORCE WITHHELD.
Wife Of Actor First to Meet New
South Dakota Divorce Law.

South Dakota Divorce Law.
Sioux Falls, S. d., Dec. l7.-Without
evident intent to increase publicity
over her estrangement from her actor
husband, Mrs. Paul Gilmore finds her
self still more prominently before the
public than formerly, because of the
withholding of her divorce decree by
Judge Mccoy, of the Fifth judicial
circuit court at Aberdeen.
The action of Judge Mccoy Is not
based upon any opposition on the part
of Paul Gilmore, who was present only
through an attorney to conform to the
law. The case is known in the par
lance of the divorce colony as a
Friendly" divorce proceeding, but the
presiding Judge awaits the interpreta-
ton of the recently adopted divorce
law calling for years residence.
Mrs. Gilmore has been a resident of
South Dakota eight months, but her
case did not come to trial until after
the adoption of the new law, which be-
came effective as soon as it was APP
proved by the people of the state
under the action of the referendum.
Thus Mrs. Gilmore is the first to
come under the possible restrictions
of the new enactment, and as the law
was enacted nearly two years ago and
has simply been in allegiance under
the operation of the referendum, the
question has arisen whether the law
does not apply to residence since the
time of it's enactment. 1t is possible
that Mrs. Gilmore may be obliged to
remain another four months before
she secures the coveted document
