Hitherto a married woman in Russia

and. therefore, beyond the reach OF all
save the very rich. Efforts have been
made In vain for thirty years past to

But the Holy synod has always OPP
posed it. as an insid!ous onslaught
upon tn" sacred bond of matr!mony.
The new law, which has Just re-
ce!Ned the sign manual OF the En-

since, without specifically enacting
judicial separation, 1t recognizes the
existence OF nonjudicial separation.
Thus it provides that married women
who live separated from their husbands

that the wife shall be entitled to ALI
