LONDON, Jan. Slower divorce
prices! Such is the demand in Eng
land. For only the rich can afford
separation expenses as 1t stands to-
day.
Lest the pious object that cheap d.
vorces will encourage it, it is well to
mention that despite its being q lux
ury, there never were so many &C
tons pending as today.
2,o25 Suits Are Filled.
The grey wigs of the judges neNTly
flew off at finding 2,025 suits down
for hearing when the Royal Courts OF
Justice opened recently for q new
term. There were 1898 undefended
petitions by husbands and 37S unde-
fenced petitions by wives, leaving
only 400 where any opposition exists.
To get a divorce in England or
Wales husband must prove unfaithful-
ness-that being the sole ground for
action. When wife brings suit she
must prove not only the breaking OF
the seventh commandment, but also
cruelty or desertioa. And every petit
ton for divorce must be heard in Lon
don, no matter where the parties re-
side or where the offense was COM
mitted.
The cost of bringing witnesses TO
London is enough to daunt even the
richest.
To thousands, the offense required
under the law is so revolving that
there is no alternative but to hood
wink the law if divorce is to be had.
The result is that everybody is re-
sorting to collision.
Prevents Permanent Ties

rotary of the Divorce Law Reform
Union, says that the Capitalization of
