PURITY PACT
TO BE BROLEN
After Divorce Has Been Grant
ed, Couple Could be Married
Again Without Any
Restrictions.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service.]
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 3d.
Urging that her unique purity pact"
with her husband is entirely wrong |
both materially and spiritually, |
friends Of Mrs. Irene Cunningham
here today are hopeful that an agreed
divorce will enable her to remarry
her husband Clement r, Cunningham
without restriction.
Publication of the strange pact by
which the Cunninghams vowed them
selves to celibacy with knowledge OF
their normal affection has excited the
greatest interest here. Mrs. Cunning
ham today, it was learned, asked the
opinion Of her lawyers whether a
legal annullment OF the marriage
would release her and her husband
from their vow. They said it was un-
derstood that this course would solve
the puzzle and instead OF noting OBJ
jections to Cunningham's suit for d.
vorce because his wife refused to
perform her marital duty they may
aid his proceedings. No court bar
riers would prevent an annullment.
Further action In the case hangs on
whether Mrs Cunningham's friends
can convince her that the purity
pact" would automatically terminate
with annullment of marriage to which
1t particularly referred If so con-
vinced she said today she would have
no objection to remarrying Cunning
ham and living with him as other
women do with their husbands.
But" said Mrs. Cunningham, III 1t
