We have here a fair-siZed book

existing divorce laws in force through

IN Il special manner to those "unfortu-
nate married whose magnetic forces
have ceased to blend, who do not love.

happy plight the law takes no cou-
Germ" It is, therefore, a plea FOR the
extension Of divorce on grounds even
more slender. than incompatibiIitv. TO
wit, where love has failed and the
magnetic forces no longer thrill. The
argument OF the author seems 10 be
largely in the interests of women 50
as TO make their freedom from tbc
marital yoke more easy to get than
now
The author uses much circumlocutiou.
and 1T is often hard to find ont from
the words ho uses just what it Is
that he means, but tho idea seoms 10

work is needless one and showing
