IT seems that enforcement for
trial marriage" that has been in
auguratcd by some progressive
people, is giving the courts and law
yers no end of trouble. Judge Rich
ter of Chicago. granted Il limited di-
vorcc the other day, in which the de-
cree was adapted to the contract
terms, made by the parties. which
seem to be the whole base upon
which such hitherto regarded as s;-
cred obligations rest. The Judge
termed it Il " limited DIVORCE and
under the new form of separation ii
was stipulated that the parties are
divorced for the period of five years,
after which they may live together
again if they SO desire. If. in the
meantime, they wish to remarry
they will be unable to do so. Tn,
question arises whether, if during
the five years period, the couple re
marry outside the State and then de
eide to get divorce again after tn,
expiration of the period, they woulc
have to get two divorces to be legal
ly separated.
