Section |. In actions for divorce
the court must file its decision and
conclusions of law as in other cases.
and II II determines that no divorce

thereupon be entered accordingly. If
II determines that the divorce ought to
be granted, an interlocutory Judgment
must be entered, declaring that the

peal may be taken within six months

their friends. Judge Harrington, so
the story went, intended to resign

order to eliminate the probability of
a Democrat being named in case 1t
should come while Wilson regime is
in control.
Judge Harrington has swept aside
the rumors by making an emphatic
denial of the whole story. lie asserts
that he has not given any considera-
ton to resigning and that he does
not intend to do so. Determined eff
rts were made by Republican leaders
this year to get Harrington to resign
and enter the senatorial fight, but he
declined to do so, giving as his excuse
that he preferred to continue in his
present position. He was appointed
federal judge in 1906, succeeding
Judge Thomas P. Hawley, who re-
signed. Judge Harrington always has
been one of the staunchest Republi-
cans of the state and was twice his
party's candidate for representative
in congress.

ALoNEsOME MAN
And the Predicument Into
Which He Got Himself
When He Married

= Archibald Marshall has mastered the
secret Of interesting the reader in the
everyday lives Of ordinary people. he
writes with calmness and simplicity,
detailing incident after incident and
suggesting the motives behind the ac-
tions Of his characters, yet he makes
his people so real that try as one will
to lay one of his books down before
finishing it, one reads on and on, fasci-
mated, to the end. MANY Junes," pub
lished in England some years ago, re-
written and brought out In an Ameri-
can edition, illustrates his method very
we'll. 1t is the story of a man unable
to follow the career he hoped for, who,
because of poverty, is compelled to live
alone. He finally becomes acquainted
with a spinster whose mother is at
tracted to him as a possible husband
for her daughter. She cultivates him and
then as he does not propose marriage,
drops him. 1t suddenly dawns on the
han that he had been expected to marry
the young woman. He does not love
her. but he is lonesome. He proposes
from mingled motives of duty and
a desire for companionship. Then he
suddenly comes into a great fortune and
falls in love with charming young
woman. Sense of duty forces him to
marry the girl to whom he is engaged,
and years of unhappiness follow, coming
TO an end when he asks his wife for
forgiveness for his indifference to her,
and the book ends happily.
The book is the study of the life OF
the young man of small means and hon
orable purpose who has to make his OWL
way in London without social connec
tions, a young man little morbid per
haps. but yet with fine feelings and
capable of giving and receiving human
sympathy.

SHALL A WOMAN
TELL EVERYTHING?
An Unsatistying Ans,cer to the
Question Is Gipen in Mrs.
Wards Netp Novel

Fortunately for the fame Of the late
Mrs. Humphry Ward her last novel was
not her first. This Is not to imply that
her last novel is not good one. put
rather to indicate that her reputation
would have begun as that OF an exploiter
Of sex problems rather than as a stu
dent Of theological movements. mar
vest" the new novel, Is an eIhibiton
Of the predicament in which a woman
finds herself after she has had an ir-
regular sex experience and the struggles
Of that woman over the decision whether
to tell the story Of her life to the man
who has asked her to marry him. Mrs.
Ward decided that the woman must tell.
The lover accepts her after her con-
fession, but Mrs. Ward has not the
courage to face the consequences OF
married life for her heroine and merci.
lessly kills her at the moment when all
her troubles seem to be ended.
II the story had been written In the
form Of a play It would have made a
fine sensational melodrama. There Is
the marriage to a worthless man who
abuses the heroine, Is unfaithful to her,
and is divorced. The heroine spends
three days and nights with a man soon
after her divorce. She takes her maiden
name and inherits some money. and
rents a farm to do her share In win :
ming the war. The farmhouse Is said
to be haunted. The divorced husband
turns up and spies on his former wife
and is mistaken for the ghost. He finds
her wooed by another man and on the
evening when the man agrees to marry
her notwithstanding her mistakes he
shoots her through the window of her
house and then kills himself. Incident
ally the story gives a picture Of life on
the land In England in the last year OF
the war. But It is really discussion
Of the duty Of a woman to tell every
thing to the man she is to marry. The
name Of the book suggests that Mrs.
Ward had a moral in mind, but it ID
suggested in no other way.

DANISH TENOR TO GIVE
ANOTHER CONCERT HERE

Another musical event will be
scored for Perth Amboy in the high
school auditorium Jan. Z, when
Hans Backyard, the young Danish
tenor, will give a song recital. Mr..
Backyard will be assisted by George
Aause, a pianist whose name has be-
come a byword in this community
and who, in himself, would prove
ample attraction on this occasion.
Mr.. Backyard. studying in the Dan
ish capitol for four years under the
tuitionNof the eminent teacher. Hoe
berg, early gained the highest praise
of the press and the plaudits of his
countrymen while carrying out the
tour that was arranged for him in
his native land. It is predicted that
MFR. Backyard is destined for a bril-
liant career on the operate stage,
and this opportunity of hearing him
in Perth Amboy should not be ig-
nored. His voice, q robust and VI
rifle tenor, is of great strength and
sweetness, and Mr.. Bakgaard can
produce an extraordinary volume OF
tone with practically no effort.
