tronized largely by British soldiers.
They offered me protection, and it
was not until after they were with
drawn that thought Of coming to
America. The danger to persons not
in sympathy with the Bolsheviki was
too great to be risked. With ten
thousand killed in one city recently
simply because Of their disagreement
with the Bolsheviki, the danger be
comes very real"
When Nine. Kalinina was asked
her opinion Of the Bolsheviki and
their parlor brothers in this coun-
try her friends Of the Travellers
Aid feared greatly for any answer
she might make to the question.
Their objection was not that there
was possibility that she might not
know about conditions in this coun-
try and the parlor Bolsheviki. In
fact, she is we'll informed. But they
were afraid that the "Reds" in this
country might take offense and
might harm the Russian bourgeoise
and her son.
The Canadians befriended Nine.
Kalinina at Tifiis and she said that
she hoped in time to go to Canada.
A number of her friends there are
men of great influence. OF course, she
hopes to make career for herself
in this country, but if she can't she
will try Canada.

quiet" repeated Nine. Kalinina. 81

a rich woman hold a
-. salaried position?

This is the question that
Miss Chaflotte Delafield had
10 answer before she accepted the
appointment as secretary to F. H.
La Guardia, the new President of
the Board Of Aldermen. Miss Della
field is the daughter Of Lewis l..
Dela6eld, Of 20 West Fifty-eighth
Street, prominent lawyer and
member Of the Union Club. She
was one Of the millionaire suffra-
glsts" who worked under Mrs. Nor
man der. Whitehouse in the last
suffrage campaign and has since
been active in Republican politics.
She hustled for votes in the anti
fammany campaign last fall, when,
a chairman Of. the La Guardia
MONDAY Meetings Committee, it
was her business to follow the
ousiers and cast a spell Of oratory
upon the crowd until the candidate
appeared.
20 when Mr.. La Guardia offered
ner an appointment among the city
iathers it seemed like the next
natural step in her political career,
0W-there were the people who
ened that rich girl had no right
salaried position that some self
supporting woman might need.

daughters Of wealthy parents have

Russian chap, that being the only
American expression he knows, and
consequently one which he uses upon
every opportunity. He then began
a perilous ascent over two trunks in
order to reach striped box upon the
chiffonier. This accomplished with
out a misstep or a movement that
was without grace, he opened the
box to several visitors and urged
candy and raisins upon them.
"What am l going to do?" re-
peated Nine. Kalinina. ooh, there
are so many things to do in your
country, it seems to me, and I would
be content with anything that was
safe and quiet.

The increase of the power Of the
Bolsheviki drove Nine. Kalinina
from one part of Russia to another.
She and her husband lived in Petro-
grad before the revolution. Later
they went to the Caucasus. Last
year he fed before the rumor that
he was to be imprisoned, and his
wife has not seen him since. She
has not heard from him since last
April, although she knows that he
was in the volunteer army Of Kol-
chak.

my experience that most divorces
are brought by poor people and not
by those who are we'll to do."
The experience of Justice Davis
IS corroborated by the records of
the Philadelphia divorce courts. In
many cases in the present term of
the Philadelphia divorce courts it
was found impossible by both par
ties to meet the usual standards Of
life because of the present cost of
living. By mutual agreement it was

"Many years Of my life I lived in
Petrograd," said Nine. Mary Kali
nina last week. 'I travelled to many
places with my husband, to all parts
of Russia and in some parts of ST.

materialism in the world to-day and
that the reason for divorce can be
found in that condition Of mind.
''The moral side Of life is not
looked upon as strongly as it was
formerly" said Justice Greenbaum.
"Fhe younger generation runs
around much more freely. The
home lacks sanctity, and there is a
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

tendency among young folks to
escape from the ties that bind them.
They call that freedom"
In England, Too
This country is not the only d.
vorce offender. In spite Of the fact
that. according to statistics Of popu-
lation, there are some 100000
women in England who will have to
go without husbands, tho divorce
courts are crowded. It is remark
able, considering the war casualties
and the slight chance Of a second
choice, that SO many English women
are willing to let 60 Of so many
husbands, and it also may be the
reason why so many husbands are
lured from so many wives.
The reason for the large number
of divorces in England, as stated by
Mr.. D. Figur, Of the most popular
and busiest firm Of divorce solicitors
in the United Kingdom, is: /
"The reason we are getting more
divorces is simply because the war
has taught both men and women in
dependence, and has taught them to
think. Women have learned that
they have an individuality, and that
they can look after themselves. The
men, too, have come to take a
broader view of life.
"The fact is that there would have
been just as many divorces before
the war If people had not been
shackled by lack of initiative and by
fear of challenging the conventions
Of society. The desire for divorce
was there, but instead Of taking &C.
ton people went on in the old, un-
happy state. Now, after over four
years Of separation, many couples
have como to a realization that they
can be happier apart. That is the
situation in a nutshell"
The Federal Census Bureau is
discouraging to ardent lovers. Ac-
cording to a bulletin issued last
August, there is ono chance in ten
that fond lovers will ever celebrate
their silver wedding anniversary.
The census figures also show that
the largest number Of divorces occur
in the fourth year Of marriage, and
that the next danger points como in
the twentieth year and the twenty
fifth year. The compilers are reas-
surfing in their insistence that there
are comparatively few divorces
after couples have lived together
for sixty years.
According to Chief Clerk Scully,
who has charge Of the Marriage
License Bureau, prohibition has had
nothing to do with divorce.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

sought to dissolve marriages which
were made unpleasant by the we'll
known pursuit of love by poverty,
via the window.
Justice Guy, who has handled
many of the large number of di-
vorce cases tried during the last
year in the Supreme Court, declined

to be interviewed on the reason for
the increase in divorce,
Judges should not speak through
the newspapers" said Justice Guy.
'They should rather speak to the
public by means of their work"
Justice Samuel Greenbaum is Of
the opinion that there is too much

decrease the number Of divorces
throughout the country, but, of
course, such a law must not bring
down the level of New York to the
standard Of Vermont with it's four
teen points, but it must raise the
standard of Vermont to that of New
York. Such a law we EPISCOPAL
clergymen have been urging for
many years. / should be in favor
of such a law by Constitutional
amendment, but / think that, if DOS
sible, it should be obtained in an
easier and faster manner. A uni
form divorce law would not decrease
the number Of divorces in New York
City, because we already have a
strict law, and the remedy for the
local situation must come from the
parties themselves. Clergymen can
be of great service in this reconcilia-
ton, and they have been of great
service. In the Episcopal Church
we do not remarry divorced persons,
except the innocent party in a di-
vorce which was obtained on the
ground of adultery"
Must Remain Married
"Then you think, Bishop Burch,
that even though two persons have
ceased to agree they should be COM
PEELED to remain married through
out their lives?"
III decidedly do think so," said
Bishop Burch. "The doctrine of
free love, and that is what easy dis
solution of the marriage ties means,
IS insidious to the last degree and
has resulted in great moral dam
age"
Supreme Court Justice Vernon
M. Davis was one of the four Law
delegates sent from the New York
Diocese to the general convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
held in Detroit last October. JUS
tive Davis urged the adoption of a
canon forbidding the remarriage by
any Episcopal clergyman of either
party to a divorce action, but his
motion was defeated. From his
position on the Supreme Court
bench Justice Davis is we'll quail
fled to comment on the increase in
divorce.
Poverty and Divorce
"The first step in loosening the
marriage ties is the failure to OBJ
serve the religious obligations as
sumed at marriage" said Justice
Davis. "The chaos created by the
war also has something to do with
present conditions. That situation
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

doubt the accuracy of that figure
very much, but if the County Clerk
says that there are more divorces
by so per cent than last year 1 am
not the one to dispute his figures.
''To my mind the most important

their marital difficulties.
Il am very much surprised to
hear that divorces have increased
30 per cent in the last year," said
Bishop Burch. ~ am inclined to
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

riage and the lack of thought be-
hind that decision.
The Uniforms Lure
"In this connection, let me say
that probably the greatest cause of
this phenomenal increase in divorce
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

centive to marriage, but since the
return Of our fighting men there has
been much time for the leisure
necessary for repentance.
Restrained by Patriotism
"Of course, another explanation
for the situation is the contention
tnat many wives who would have
sued for divorce in 1918 but for the
TACT that their husbands were in the
military service are bringing suit
now. Patriotism did not allow
many wives to bring action while
their husbands were in the military
service. However, I do not think
that reason is of major Importance
"The economic independence Of
women may be another reason for
the increase in divorce. Many more
women are supporting themselves.
even though they are married. than
ever before. Not being dependent
upon their husbands for support
they naturally would not wish to
continue to live with those husbands
who proved obnoxious. This areu-
ment carries more weight when one
considers that in more than three
quarters Of the cases of divorce the
action is brought by the wife.
Alarming, Says Bishop
"1f divorces have increased so
per cent in the last year in New
York the situation is particularly
alarming, because of the fact that
New York and South Carolina are
the two states in the United States
which have the most stringent di
vorce laws. In South Carolina no
grounds whatsoever are allowed for
divorce, and in New York the only
ground for. divorce is the statutory
ground Of adultery. We have the
highest standard, and if we have an
increase Of so per cent what must
be the ratio of increase in good old
Puritan Vermont, where there are
fourteen grounds for divorce?"
"What do you believe is the rem
edy for the increase in divorce ?''
"The remedy is uniform divorce
law throughout the country on the
highest and most stringent plane.
A uniform divorce law that would
prevent migration from state to
state in search Of freedom from the
responsibilities of marriage would

haitian had increased so per cent in
1918 over 1918.
Several months ago American
newspapers were carrying stories
,bout the large number Of divorce
uits which have been begun in Eng
land and Wales. During the new
tern, Of the English and Welsh di-
vorce courts which opened last Octo-
her the record number Of 1000
cases Of divorce was filed, which is
more than double the number which
Merrie England had on it's last
divorce list.
Thirty-eight thousand applications
for divorce were made in Petrograd
alone soon after the Bolshevik gov
ernment announced that divorce
could hereafter be had for the ask
ing in Soviet Russia.
So the movement is not local, but
the County Clerks announcement
shows that the city is holding it's
own and living up to the reputation
which this country has long held as
the, greatest divorce market in the
world.
