most highly placed princes and noblemen
in Europe
Society knows that the separation was
in large measure due to the utterly heart
less, selfish and cynical conduct OF the
Duke within few years of their marriage,
which occurred in 1895. It is generally
understood that the Duchess's father, w.
K. Vanderbilt, set aside a fortune Of $10,-
100000 for the Joint use of the couple and
the support of their family, protecting it
by many legal restrictions.
Those who are familiar with the
Duchesss life say that the affronts offered
by the Duke at the time of the brief recon
ciliation and since then have been Of a
most intolerable character, but in advance
Of the suit nobody ventured to mention
names.
The intimation has been made that the
Duke, after trying married life anew with
the Duchess for a short while deliberately
sought the society Of a former companion
This would have been a most outrageous
sffront to the Duchess, meaning that after
mature consideration and experiment he
had no longer any possible doubt that he
preferred the society OF another person
to hers.
II is even probable that he shamelessly
paraded his indifference to his wife during
the brief period when She was Loyalty en-
deavoring to display the true spirit OF
wifely love and to make theiureconciliation
a genuine one. II would surprise no one
II the Duke alleged that he believed his
wife wished a reconciliation merely for
the sake Of dignity, respectability and
court position, and that she was willing to
allow him to enjoy perfect freedom and to
amjse himself Just as he pleased without
comment or interference on her part. Such
cynical conceptions Of domestic life are o.
course not uncommon among the European
eristocracy.

word OF warning and sent this letter to
the Duchess:
"Blenheim, Woodstock.

past and start life afresh, but fear that
In the long period OF our separation, now
upwards OF twelve years, we have grown
too far apart to live happily together again.
| appreciate all you have tried to do dur
ing our reunion, but am now convinced 1t

Yours, SUNNY"
To this unfeeling letter the Duchess re-
piled:
Dear Sunny have received your let
ter. | wish you had spoken to me instead
OF writing. II seems a pity now that we
ever came together again only for every.
thing to end like this II is useless to say
more. must go away and rest for

Later she wrote to him as follows:

To this the Duke replied, brusquely, as

LONDON, June 70.
COCIETY is intensely curious to know
what it is that has caused the Amer
lean Duchess of Marlborough after all
these years to prosecute her divorce suit
against her defaulting husband so reloQt
lessly Although the Duchess's unhapy
differences with the Duke have been a
matter of common knowledge for many
years there is no doubt that some entirely
new cause of disagreement between them
which is hidden from the world has arisen
within less than a year.
The chief known facts are that the Duke
-and Duchess lived apart for twelve years
from 1907 to 1919, that the Duchess in that
time never attempted to secure legal d.
vorce, that they became reconciled for one
month in 1919, that the Duke then left her
saying that it was impossible to live with
her and that the Duchess after that began
a suit for absolute divorce, which she
is prosecuting with the most unfinching
determination.
What happened in that short month
that angered the Duchess more than any.
thing the Duke had ever done before
What was il that caused her to seek the
divorce she had not asked in twelve years?
In some quarters II has been assumed
that the Duchess wishes to marry again.
For that purpose, Of course, she would
need an absolute divorce. II would be
rather surprising II the Duchess after years
of quarrelling with her husband and bare
ly six months after an attempt at recon-
ciliation should wish to try the expert
ment again with another man, but women
have done more surprising things. The
Duchess has not revealed marked prefer
ence for any individual but several OF the
most brilliant men in England and France
are among her devoted friends
Under the English divorce law wife in
order 70 obtain an absolute divorce must
prove infdelity, together with desertion or
cruelty. whereas the husband need only
prove infidelity, For the purpose Of prov.
ing desertion II is customary for the wife
TO ask the court for a decree OF restitu-
tion of conjugal rights The decree orders
the husband to return 10 his wife within
certain time-usually within fourteen days
IL he fails to do so, this becomes proof
that he has deserted his wife.
In accordance with this practice the
Duchess appeared in court last March and
applied for the decree OF restitution, which
was granted Although the visit to court
was evidently most distressing to the
Duchess, she told the story with many de-
tails OF their early disagreements, their
recent reconciliation and the Dukes un.
feeling desertion OF her. But she said
nothing about the Dukes recent actions
which It is supposed we're the true rea-
son OF her bringing the legal proceeding.
The decree OF restitution was issued, the
Duke, who was in France, refused TO obey
II, as was expected, and then the Duchess
began her suit for absolute divorce.
The correspondent was not named in ad.

borough, who is already highly respected
at court, but she cannot be allowed to dis
regard the entire rule.
II has been fuS0ber ordered that women
appearing at cov shall not wear head
feathers, long tram or ostentatious dis.
plays OF jewelry
1t Is clear now that the Dukes defence
against his wife's suit is necessary in
order that the Duchess may maintain her
position, but II remains a mystery why she
considered 1t necessary to bring the, suit
at all. She could easily have separated
from her husband quietly and lived apart
as they had done for many years and have
excited hardly any comment
IL Is possible to reveal some curious
facts that have bearing on this mystery.
When the Duchess asked for her restitu-
tion decree she stated that she had serious
disagreements with the Duke early in mar
ried life which made II Impossible for them
to live together.
They separated in 1907 under private
articles OF separation, which gave Blenheim
Palace to the Duke, left her in undivided
possession OF Sunderland House, London,
which she had Just built, and specified ar.
rangements concerning the two children
In November, 1919, when this agreement
expired the Duke and Duchess met TO dis
ouss the situation. He suggested that they
should try living together again, to which
The Washington times., 1920-07-11

and appears to have been followed
to oblige her or else to have been
upon him by her lawyers.
Strange to say, a defended d.
vorce suit is absolutely necessary
In order that the Duchess may
maintain her position at court,
which she values highly. Queen
Mary has determined that moral
ity, simplicity and frugality shall
distinguish her court more than
ever. She has just given orders
that no divorcee shall be received
at court unless she can show that
the divorce was granted in open
court in her favor, that both
parties were represented and that
custody OF the children was
granted to the wife.
So strict will be the court rnles
that the Lord Chamberlain has
announced that in most cases
divorces will save themselves
trouble by not applying for pre-
sentation at all. This last admo.
milton would not apply to a
woman like the Duchess of MarI-

lutte divorce could not be obtained without
one. In reply to this suit the Duke an
nounced that he would oppose the divorce,
somewhat unusual course, as it has be-
come customary among husbands Of high
social position to allow their wives to di-
vorce them without opposition.
1t has been learned, however, that the
Dukes course in opposing the divorce is
in accordance with the Duchesss wishes
and appears to have been followed by him

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 21.--
More substantial evidence that 1920
promises to be very prosperous year
for Missouri is portrayed by statis-
tical information impaired today by
the Corporation Division Department
of Secretary of State John L. Sulli-
van to the effect that there has al
ready been collected in taxes and fees,
January to and including April Is,
period of only three and half
months, a total Of $156,134, as COM
pared to collection for, the whole of
1919, a, period of twelve full months,
,totaling $162,932. If the present ra-
ito of collections continues during the
remaining eight and a half months Of
1920, and the indications are it will,
Secretary Of State Sullivan will turn
into the treasury of Missouri by the
close of the year as corporation taxes
and fees, $685. ,3S2., ,., 49,. 80. ~,..,

nearly 229 per cent. All past records

April Is, 1920, having been heavily
,exceiled with the year not yet half
over by two and half months, There
is every reason to believe this unusual
showing by this State Department
will continue through the remaining
eight and a half months. -" ','.
