Her Troubles.

great on account Of the prominence Of the
persons concerned. The Duchess vas for
merly Miss CORVALLIS West, ana her
mother was one Of the greatest ornaments
Of King Edward WIS set in Marlborough
House days. King Edward intervened
once to prevent a rupture Of the engage
ment when Miss CORVALLIS est dis
covered the Dukes intimacy with the
notorious Mrs. Atherton. Some years ago.
the present King interviewed to prevent a
divorce suit between the Duke and Ouch
ess, whose disagreements had become
common gossip In society.
The name Westminster once stood for
all that was most dignified in English
public life. The present Dukes grand
father, the last holder or the title, was q
pillar Of the church, a philanthropist,
greatly esteemed by Queen Victoria, q
friend Of Mr.. Gladstone, and everything
that a model nobleman should be.
When the Duchess brought her suit a
few weeks ago the public was shocked to
learn that the present descendant Of a
model nObIeman spent nearly all his time
in the society Of musical comedy stars and
had little inclination for the royal family
and the leading families Of the nobility
For some years he left his house every
evening before midnight, and Gid not re-
turn till the next morning During the
day he did not speak to his wife. Finally
Jhe shut her out Of all his houses
Another instance Of recklessness in high
society was the case Of the Hon. Mrs. Wal
ter Trefusis, whose husand Is half-brother
Of Lord Clinton, bearer Of title created in
1899 Mrs. Trefusis, who is Of noble birth
herself, became a professional dancer
while her husband was a prisoner Of war
and gave him cause for divorce Here II
may be noted that the old chiValrOus rule
formerly observed in good society that the
husband should allow the wife to sue him
seems to have been abandoned.
Perhaps the most startling case was
that Of the Hon. Glarissa Tenant. dangh-
ter Of Lord Glenconner and niece Of Mrs.
Herbert Asquith, the former Premier's
wife. She was considered one Of the pref
tiest girls in English society. Her first hus-
band was Lieutenant Adrian Bethel. a re-
lation Of a peer and an officer CT the
Guards. While her husband was absent
lighting at the front, married barely two
years and having a baby about year old,
Mrs. Bethel became infatuated with Major
the Hon. Lionel Tennyson. who was home
from wounds.
He is a grandson Of the great pest and
heir to the present Lord Tennyson. Lieu
tenant Bethell brought suit and his wife is
now married to Tennyson.
The Washington times., 1919-08-17
LONDON, Aug. z.

LONDON Augt7
- NE OF the most painful and shocking
results Of the war in the opinion OF
serious minded Englishmen mas
been the great increase IN the number of
divorce cases.
Fully as painful and shocking as the In
crease in number has been the fact that in
the majority Of cases the suits have been
brought by the husbands against the wives
This appears to indicate the weakening Of
the former higher relative morality Of
women.
Together with the great increase in di-
vorce generally, there has been an IN
usual number Of cases involving persons OF
the highest rank, such as the Duke and
Duchess OF Westminster, Lady Idina Cor
don formerly Lady Idina Wallace; the
Marquis and Marchioness Conyngham,
Lord and Lady Kenyon, Lord and Lady
Clifton, the Hon. Ciarissa Tenant, niece
OF Mr.. Asquith; Major the Hon. Lionel
Tennyson, grandson Of the poet, and many
others.
The number Of divorces sought has in
creased with the most astonishing leaps
and bounds since the second year Of the
war. In 1903, five years before the out
break Of the war, there were only 787
divorce cases for the year In 1918 there
we're 1000 divorce cases before the Eng
lish courts and a proportionate number
before the Scottish courts. Such an in
crease had never been known before at
any time or in any country.
Out Of the 787 cases in 1909 nc less
than $50 were brought by wives, DU in
1913 the husbands brought $500 of the
1000 cases against their wives. But back
in 1909 it was significant that where the
husband was a soldier or sailor the ma
jority of complaints were brought against
the wife. In 1918 practically all husbands
we're soldiers or sailors. 1t, therefore,
appears certain that absence is an i'm
Fortant factor.
The leaders Of English public opinion,
clergymen, Judges and directors Of moral
agencies, are thoroughly alarmed at the
decentralization of society and have been
uttering solemn warnings upon the subject.
Sir Charles John Darling, Judge of the
Kings Bench Division, one of the highest
judges Of England and noted for his
trenchant, pithy utterances from the bench
upon matters Of social concern, declared:
"In nothing has the war done more
harm than in the relaxation of social re-
straints on the part of women.
"This last has reached a point that can
be seen in a walk along the street Women
differ by the width Of heaven from what
their mothers were."
This vas q plain intimation by this dis
.inguished Judge that English women had
become immodest in public and that their
mmodesty was related to the more serious
moral offences Of which they have been
convicted.
The Judges utterances were followed by
many comments from other public leaders,
many emphasizing the warning, while
jome indignantly rejected all criticism Of

away from that awful prudery-false. half
half the tinle-by getting used to seeing
beauty for Jeauty's sake-not for any other
motive"
The Rev. DR.. Herbert J. Campbell, one
OF the most eloquent and revered London
diVines of to-day, declared in a sermon:
"A lowered moral standard among our
wives and mothers would threaten the very
existence of our nation and be an infinitely
worse calamity than defeat by the enemy
L war. Unhappily, l fear that we are
threatened with the greater calamity"
Many different factors arising out of the
war are said to help in Ioosening the
moral standards of women
The absence of husbands at the war
gives rise to loneliness and sometimes
financial distress; the terrible anxiety
concerning news from the front creates
emotional instability in delicate person.
The woman turns for consolation and COM
pany wherever she can find it. In seeking
relief from anxiety caused by her hus-
bands dangers she may thoughtlessly be-
come unfaithful to him.
Officers and soldiers wounded or on
leave from the front become objects of
abnormal attractiveness among the vast
mass of women at home This situation
is heightened by the rarity Of young men
among the home population. Wealthy
women, of the more or less idle classes,
we're especially liable to forget their do
nestle obligations in the company Of
young returned officers.
In their thoughtless way these women
seemed to think the only patriotic service
