come back for several days. 1t might be men
toned in this connection that the divorce colony
has brought to Reno over 100 motor cars.
The leading hotels are always crowded, ana
the rents for cottages have appreciated, on the
average to the extent of so per cent in the last
six months. In some instances the increase has
been much greater. One cottage that rented for
$50 month in January last, now returns It's own
err rental of 500 month.
Perhaps the one thing that endears Reno TO
the visiting divorce more than anything else Is
it's proximity to San Francisco. One may board
train in Reno and be in the Pacific coast metrop-
oils in ten hours. Despite its manifold attrac-
lions, life in Reno is likely to irksome upon
those who have been used to existence in larger
centers, and the visitors, to great extent soon
err or later during their stay, take trip or half
a dozen trips over the Sierras to the city by the
Golden Gate.
Such visits while affording relief from the
monotony of life in Reno do not impair the resi-
dence qualifications necessary to the obtaining
of divorce. To again quote the Nevada divorce
authority already mentioned:
Under the provisions of Section % of the
Marriage and Divorce act, the plaintiff must re-
side in the state for period of at least six
months This is not construed to mean that in
order to fully comply with the statute the party
must remain here continuously for said period
&c. If party comes to Nevada and, in good faith,
takes up residence the party may leave the
state at any time after establishing residence
may go and travel when and wherever the party
chooses, and may return to the state whenever in
cination prompts and yet such temporary alb
sence would not in any wise affect the legality OF
the residence established, but the party would be
entitled under the law to bring suit any time
after the lapse of six months from the date resi-
dence was originally established, notwithstanding
the party's absence from the state during said
period"
Biased somewhat by the financial seductons
of the situation, and yet to learn the lesson that
such state of affairs only result in the NOR
al degradation of the youth of the community-a
lesson which caused South Dakota to reform her
divorce laws-Reno appears to be perfectly con-
tented with things as they
But Reno is busily engaged in cleaning house,
and it is felt by the most reflective observers that
the divorce laws of Nevada as now written will
be a thing of the past in the near future. Not in

pect the Worst.

The Shakespeare club Of New Or
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once social celebrity, with a gor'
geous costume, as one of the lords In
waiting had only four words to say:
THE queen has swooned." AS he
stepped forward his friends applauded
vcciferously. Bowling his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in high
pitched voice: "The swoon has
queened."
There was a roar of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made an
other attempt:
1.-THE sween has cooned."
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said in voice which
could be heard all over the house:
Come off, you doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in a rasping fall
setto, as he was assisted off the stage
he screamed: "The coon has
weened."-Success Magazine.
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1909-08-25


the very near future-for the next
legislature does not meet until Janu-
airy of 1911. There are others who
point to the experience of South Da-
kota, which for 20 years fought the
evils of lax divorce laws before re-
peal was secured, and say that the
moralists of Nevada have an equally
stubborn task before them. But Me-
vada is cleaning house. In the last
session Of the legislature, after gam
ing being permitted for 40 years with
cognizance of law, bill abolishing
gambling was passed-the act to take
effect in November of 1910-and it IL
believed that If that could be done,
the slack divorce laws can be more
easily repealed.
In the meantime the hotel men and
cottage renters of Reno and the d.
vorce lawyers will continue to flour
ish. Partisan toilettes and so horse
power automobiles will flash and dart
through the quiet thoroughfares at all
sorts of hours. Men and women will
continue to become "citizens" of Ne
vada on six-months' residence-and
leave the state forever the day after
securing their divorce DEGREES.
