Moreover. tho new law prevents q
sad state OF affairs in the event OF
reversal OF a judgment in a di-
Yorce action. Formerly a person who
procured a divorce could INSTANTLY
get marriage license and be mar
ried again within ten minutes after
the decree had been signed You
can readily sec the evil consequences
that would follow tho setting aside
or decree OF divorce by order OF
the supreme court. Our present law
provides that tho time for appeal
six months-must elapse before the
hnal decree becomes effective. And
should an appeal be taken. the de-
cree does not become operative while
that appeal is pending.
