not be surprising il the bill had been draft

act The act has been so drawn TINT il

vorccs without scandal. All that is neccs-
sary is for one party to the marriage to

other party is dead. Then notice Of petition

Fraudulent divorces have not been un-

that the whereabouts Of the defendant was
unknown and service has been made by
publication in an obscure newspaper. and
the cookcd-up evidence has been presented
to n jury and the decree obtained. All that
will be necessary under the now law is TO
profess ignorance about the whereabouts of
the defendant and to assume tha, he or she
