end.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-That defn-
ition does not appear in Webster's-
yet But the chances are II will
soon. It has just been created by
the action OF a Reno judge in grant
ing a divorce to Mrs. Grace Tuthili
Bishop. wife Of Burton T. Bishop,
wealthy junior partner in a Brooklyn
firm Of automobile distributors,
Bishop, Mccormick & Bishop.
The term "golf widow" has been
used before, coIloquially, for wives
whose husbands spent too much time
on the links. The former Mrs. Bishop
explained today how the phrase got
its new legal standing. She said:
'So mention was made in the court

nevertheless. He belongs to several
clubs, such as the Crescent and the
Wheatley Hill, and spends much
time on the links.
Judge Was Sympathetic.
These facts 1 told to my lawyer
in Reno and suspect he whispered
them to the Judge. The first thing
I knew the Reno papers appeared
with long articles about the new
found golf widow. That must be
The way it happened, for the Judge
was so sympathetic. You know,

sent me the lOveliest bunch Of how-

She was asked:
Assuming you are a golf widow
what advice would you offer to girls
threatened with golf widowhood?
Her dark brown eyes radiated mer-
riment. as she replied:
why, I would tell them to take
up golf themselves. It must be a
great game to fascinate men so. All

Opinions on the situation as eX-
pressed in the Hobbies are conflicting
but, in view of the small attendance
in the House, it is thought that the
Government may decide not to resign.
The general belief. also, in political
circles is that the Government will
not resign. but that it is not unlikely
that the Home Secretary, MIR Shcrtt.

may tender his resignation.
