That blusterers are thus treated in

Under date of December IL, press
report sent out from Chicago stated
that one judge in that city had just
completed a call of 9S3 uncontested
divorce cases in a period of three
months, had signed more than 900 of
the DEGREES and rested in the satisfac-
ton of having established new
record for the dispatch of divorce
litigation. 1t is not stated how many
contested divorce cases came before
this judge, or how many contested
and uncontested cases came before
the other Chicago judges handling this
character of business, but even were
it the minimum, the record would
then be a shameful one.
Relatively, comparatively or other
wise, the record of the whole state

that of the one Chicago court with

CAP. A COLD FOR Csc
KISSING IN ITALY.

Everywhere In Italy nowadays kiss :,
ing seems decidedly in favor. On the
streets, in the cafes, on the broad
country roads, and in the narrow city
lanes, osculatory demonstrations of
affection are continuously being in
dulged in, says an exchange.
But, it hasn't always been so. Time
was when the kissing of a woman
without the most definite previous
agreement was sternly punished. OF
course, the degree of punishment de-
pended in part on the age of the one
kissed. The kissing of a young girl
was much more vigorously punished
than the kissing of an older woman.
In Corregiano, for example, an un-
permitted kiss was fined 800 if the
woman were over 80, $3.50 If she were
between 20 and 80 and 5000, with
likelihood of a year or so imprison
ment if the defendant were between
IL and 20. Rather dangerous worl
for man to kiss woman unless h
knew her we'll and his attentions wer
of the most serious nature, for sh
might turn on him and say that 1t wa
entirely without her permission an

Upon the assumption that all the
