Special Correspondence OF The Argus.)
Washington, Nov. 16.-Those who
have not already grown hopelessly
pessimistic over the divorce situation
in this country viii be pleased to learn
that there has been a reconciliation be
tween at least one Of those wealthy
couples whose matrimonial difficulties
got them prominently into the news
papers a few months ago. Mr.. and
Mrs a. s. White, il Will be recalled,
gave a divorce dinner" some time
ago, to celebrate their impending sep
aration, and at the time there was a
great protest among church folks be-
cause Of the fact that the couple made
light of such a serious institution as
marriage.
After the dinner, Mrs. White, who
formerly was an opera singer, sailed
q way TO Paris, for what she then SAID
was a permanent stay. She gave as
her reason for leaving her husband
the fact that she simply could not
stand Cincinnati" and when this was
made public there was q great TODD
IL the Ohio metropolis Last week
Mr.. White went over to Paris, osLen-
sibly 10 establish there q branch Of
his banking interests, but really to see
his wife. He saw her; they TALKED
It over, and now, thanks to the gener-
osity OF Mr. White, who has consent
ed % live in New York, they are re-
conciled, and apparently, very happy
again.
