 New York. Jan. 2O-By way of con- trast to the verbose and extravagant eulogies with which visiting men and women of title usually testify their appreciation of the states on their departure, the Countess Van Bylandt handed out a few candid opinions of this country, the other day on leaving for London, that gave the ship news reporters disagreeable jar.
 Just about year ago the Coun- tess came over the seas, smoking ci- garebtes and giving wide. publicity to her idea that divorced woman like herself ought to be just as friendly with her ex-huSband as she was be- fore she married him, and rather more so. She said she would take the next boat back if she were not al- lowed to smoke here. The CountesS was approached by a reporter just be- fore the ship sailed tfhs week and York and the United States after a years experience. She drew herself up her full height. took a full breath and said, Rotten

Subsequently, Thomas took a fancy to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, the one time artists model, whose story of the attentions alleged to have been shOwered upon her by Stamford White, caused her cratic husband, Harry Thaw. to murder that famous architect. Following the incarcera- for the Criminal Insane, from which he is now about to renew for the fifth time an attempt to be liberated, the model and Thomas were elected from the Knickerbocker Hotel dining room as undesirable guests.
 In these days the banker and his suite at the St Regis and spent money like water. Not overburdened with business shrewdness, Charles W. Morse and other sky-scraping hign financiers used him as "a good thing and got him so hopelessly involved in their schemes that he will be in pawn for years to come. Of late he has been living abroad and very little has been heard from him save occasion- ally. Last summer it was reported from Paris that his wife. who is an very popular in society, both here and abroad would apply for a divorce. This was later denied and the couple are now declared to be still ''very fond of one another all reports to the contrary notwithstanding The moth er of the banker is very liberal with him and it is said here will see him through his present difficulties. how ever deep his creditors may dig into his patrimony.
 Fresh from London town, aglow with set of very emphatic ideas concerning divorce and the danger to society o4 laws which facilitate the dissolution of the marriage tie, Dr. Stanton Colt, author and chairman or the West London Ethical society, has caused Gotham's thriving divorce colony to sit up and take notice. The the subject and has been lured here for the purpose of studying at close range the problem of progressive polygamy as practiced in our effete civilization with the sanction of the courts and the seeming approval of society.

asks for it. Marriage is the most wonderful partnership in the world. vital forces. The tie between hus- band and wife should be as unbreak- able as that between parents and children. No crime. no injury should avail to separate it."
 'aThe divorce situa tion,' continued Dr. Colt is very different in England country the laws are exceedingly un- fair to women, since any man may divorce his wife for upfaithfulness, while she must prove both infidelity and extreme cruelty, before she can receive a decree. Also the machinery for obtaining a divorce is costly, which gives the rich an unfair ao. vantage over the poor. Here oI course it is much easier for members of both sexes to break the marriage tie, practically at will. B=d it seems very facility What will America be one-hundred years hence if the pre- sent divorce rate continues to increase All history shows that monogamy IS the attribute of the highest ciyiNza- tion that the, real marriage must be held to last till death do us part!
 q think concluded the visitor that the chief reason why there are so many unhappy marriages is that so many women marry for money. Every union based on surface attrac- strength in the young man, IS pre- ferable to the modern marriage of convienence. For the former is caused by principles of natural selec- tion and works for the strengthening and safeguarding of the race. while the mercenary marriage IS an anoma- ly and is almost sure to result dis astrously.'
