CAUSE OF DIVORCE.

A prominent woman of New Or
leans, after Investigating 443 cases
of divorce, comes to the conclusion
they were due to the following
causes: Lack of faith in the lain
truth and excess of modesty on the
part of mothers in training girls; de-
sire of young wives to eyade moth
erhood, resulting from wrong advice
or the part of mothers; nagging at
husbands and laziness in doing the
wife's part; drunkenness on the part
of the husbands; living in boarding
houses instead of homes. And these
conclusions are evidently correct
though they do not tell the whole
story. In the main, family troubles
spring from two sources: jealousy OIL
the part Of the wife with contention
about rights of property, and self-in'
diligence on the part Of husbands
that arouse distrust. - Morgan City
