A few weeks ago the New York City
newspapers heralded the engagement
OF Mrs. Rita de Acosta Lydig. fash
ionable society divorcee. and the Rev.
Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, dynamic
rector of the Church of the Ascension.
Now Bishop Manning places his Epis-
copal hand between the two, and for
bids the marriage to be performed
by any member of his hierarchy, cit
ing as his reason Canon AZ of the
Constitution and Canons of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church.
This Canon declares in part, that
NO minister, knowingly, after due
inquiry. shall solemnize the marriage
OF any person who has been or is the
husband or the wife of any other per-
son then living, from whom he or she
has been divorced for any cause aris-
ing after marriage. But this canon
shall not be held to apply to the in
nocent party in a divorce for adult
cry; provided that before the applica-
ton for such remarriage a period of
not less than one year shall have
elapsed after the granting of such di-
vorce; and that satisfactory evidence

RIPPLING RHYMES.
By Walt Mason.
WORDS OF WISDOM.

Before you venture forth in
style. in your new bus or lorry.
just paste this maxim in your
tile: play safe. or you'll be sor-
ry." Because the reckless go
their way, in motor cars be-
spangled. a hundred gents, each
passing day, are badly killed or
mangled. Because the reckless
rip and roar where wiser ones
have tarried. a hundred gents,
or maybe more. are to the bone
yard carried. Oh, bear in mind
the traffic rules, as your large
bus advances, for only murder
ers or fools will speed and take
the chances. With care propel
your costly dray, all signs and
signals seeing; it is an awful
thing to slay a useful human
being. 1t is an awful thing to
know that by your careless
driving you've laid fellow NOR
tai low, and kept him from sur
viving. When once some fatal
accident is charged up to your
speeding. you1l III the skies
with your lament. your heart
strings will be bleeding; but
that won't help you worth a
dime, no comfort can you bor-
row; YOU didn't make your
choice in time 'twixt safety and
grim sorrow. Avoid the sorrow
and laments, the useless walls
and curses, and bear in mind
the stricken gents who ride
away in hearses. All day the
dea lily autos roll; the death
lists keep reading: don't add
another to the toll of victims
killed by speeding.
