There is an old proverb to the
effect that when poverty looks In
at the door, love flies out at the
window. But a glance at the
divorce proceedings, in the daily
papers, would lead one to distrust
this platitude. For the poor do
not get divorces as frequently as
the rich. Nor is this due to a lack
Of money, as one might at FIRST
glance imagine.
The poor, like genuinely busy
people, are too actively engaged, to
take their little differences ser
iously. Occupation is the great
est promoter Of successful mar
riage.

And the lady who looks capable

court without sufficient justihca-

He declared it cruelty" to sue

for separation. alleging cruel and

Benedict granted the lady a de-
