PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-The Bull

Though there have been rumors for
several years that the marital relations
between Colonel Drexe and Mrs. Drexel
were strained, society in London. New

more will be surprised to learn that Mrs.
Drexel may bring action for divorce.
Mrs. DreXeI arrived from Europe
alone a few weeks ngo and has endcay-

possible since she came to Philadelphia
Her intentions to bring action for di-
vorce preceded her, however, in cable
grams TO the DreXel family. No sooner
had she set foot on shore at New. York
than the Drexels began to persuade her
TO reconsider the resolve she had made
in London to separate herself legally and
entirely from her husband.

decision and before she had been In Phil

TT was expected by members OF the
