by which all the Objectionable details of
a divorce suit can be withheld from the
public. While many of them are un-
doubtedly actuated by motives of morality
and decency, some Of them are also moved
by a desire to conceal the misconduct of
the upper classes from the masses.
Many, probably the majority, Of the
English newspapers will oppose secrecy in
divorce cases on the ground that it would
be an infringement of the liberty of the
press. There is in fact little prospect
that the secrecy demanded can be secured
at the present time.
Meanwhile, the-number of cases coming
before the divorce court threatens to
break down the machinery of the law. II
must be remembered that divorce is only
granted in England on the New York
statutory ground and that the wife must,
in addition, prove cruelty or desertion.
Every case, therefore, calls for proof Of
serious misconduct.
Lord Buckmaster, former Lord Chan
cellor, has been drafted as an extra judge
to relieve the pressure on the divorce
court. In the first week he disposed Of
189 cases. But that was not enough to
save the court from being swamped, and
he announced that he would dispose of
sixty cases in a day and not leave the
court until that number had been heard.
Even that was not enough and the judge
proceeded to dispose of hundred cases
a day.
But these were undefended cases and
the rapid method of disposing of them
did not satisfy those who advocate secrecy
in contested cases.
The Earl of Lanesborough is one of
the latest to experience the Inconvenience
Of publicity in divorce cases. He was
named as correspondent in a divorce
brought by Captain Guy Watkins and his
wife. The >earl and Mrs. Watkins then
planned toA married. The bride wanted
a church Ger, Npy. It is a general rule
with Church OF 1ngland clergymen that
they will not marry the defendant In
divorce suit, but they cannot refuse a
"benedictory service" after a marriage.
They stipulate, however, that there shall
be no publicity In connection with such
a service.
The earl and Mrs. Watkins planned to
be married at a civil registry Office and
then TO have "benedictory service" at
the Chapel Royal, Savoy, with full choir,
flowers and all the features Of an old
The Washington times., 1922-09-17

barons and baronesses has made its ap-
pearance in the divorce court. Every
section of the ruling class has been
represented. A prime minister's niece
has been divorced, a noted medical
specialist has just been sued and even
the families of bishops have been drawn
into the divorce net.
The revelations in these divorce cases
in high society have been even more
startling than they used to be in the old
days, when the parties were usually Of
lower social standing. The younger ele-
ment now go into court and confess their
actions with a frankness and callousness
that shock the older generation who feel
that the titled and educated classes should
set an example of refinement and dignity
to the community.
The action of the committee has un-
doubtedly been hastened by the revela-
tions in the Russell divorce suit. In this
case, as readers of these columns will
recall, Lord Ampthill's son and heir sued
his wife for divorce. While denying mis-
conduct she freely admitted that she had
gone home from a dance, and not being
able to find her key, had spent all night
in bachelors fiat, had travelled to Paris
alone with another bachelor, and so forth.
The husbands father was Viceroy of
India and his mother is Lady of the
Bedchamber" to the Queen. They are
people who not only occupy the highest
position in society, but represent very
conservative and refined element. 1t was
felt that when such doings as were de-
scribed in the divorce court had touched
even the fringe of such an element that
dangerous revolution bad occurred in
English society.
The committee has appealed to the Lord
Chancellor, who is the head of the Courts
of Equity, asking that arrangements be
made to hear certain divorce cases in
secret, where the testimony might be con-
sidered "prejudicial to public decency."
As matters stand, there can be no
secrecy in divorce cases in England. No
orders to refer a case to a referee, as is
done in America, are permitted by Eng
lish law. The Judge may order that GER
tain evidence of technical medical char
acter be heard in secret, or Gin camera"
as il is called, but this evidence really
has little appeal for the curious layman.
On the other hand, ordinary colloquial
descriptions of misdoings are spread be-
fore the public without the least restraint.
The reformers wish some arrangement

Lady Victor Paget, former Gaiety
girl, has obtained divorce from her hus-
band who is heir to the exalted title of
Marquis of Anglesey. The Gaiety girls
boy still remains the eventual heir to the
marquisate.
Admiral Paget Sinclair, of the British
navy, divorced his handsome but rather
mature wife on account of her relations
with Jean Nouzaret, young French prize
fighter, who was once a humble sparring
partner of Georges Carpenter.
A Mrs. Nield, wife of a mere decorative
artist, obtained a divorce from her hus-
band because of his infatuation for Lady
Ada Wilmot, daughter of the Earl of Lau-
derdale. Mr.. Nield used to decorate Lady
Ada Wilmot's mansion.
Captain Charles Chetugnd asked for
divorce on account of grotesque episode
that happened in his house. He found his
wife in compromising position and sum-
moned a woman guest to witness the fact.
He then withdrew TO his room with the
guest. The court rejected his request.
Some of those who are seeking to re-
form divorce procedure ask not only that
there shall be secrecy but that the causes
Of divorce shall be made easier, so that
II may not be necessary to prove demoral-
izing details. Here they come In conflict
both with those VINO uphold the rights of
publicity and with the religious authori-
ties who wish no relaxation Of the grounds
Of divorce
The Washington times., 1922-09-17

The attitude of another young countess
is interesting society. Colonel Ross-Hume
obtained divorce from his wife on ac-
count Of her relations with the Earl of
Wilton. The earl has a pretty young
wife, who was an heiress of great wealth.
Miss Peterson. The countess has decided
that she will take no action for the sake
Of her children. Mrs. Ross-Hume, by the
way, loved her husband. She was sadly
mistaken in Lord Wilton's character.
The Duchess of Westminster gave an
immense shock to high society when she
divorced her husband, the richest duke in
England, who had long neglected her.
The duke promptly married Mrs. Violet
Rowley, a divorced woman, who did not
belong to the same exalted set as himself.
His divorced duchess married an obscure
actor named Fitzpatrick Lewis.
The American Duchess of Marlborough
recently divorced her husband after many
years Of unhappiness. The duke made no
attempt to disprove a stay at o Paris
hotel which the duchess alleged against
him. ~ ...... ~
A rather startling case was that of Lieu
tenant Adrian Bethel against his wife,
who was the Hon. Clarissa Tennant,
daughter Of Lord Glenconner, and niece
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Asquith. She
had been married barely two years when
she had an affair with the Hon. Lionel
Tennyson, grandson ysf the famous poet.
They are now married,

In passing on the suit of Mrs. Powell
Lord Buckmaster held that q man had
deserted his wife when he lived in the
same house but remained q stranger TO
her. Her counsel cited the case of the
Duchess of Westminster, who lived in the
same house with her husband for two
years after he deserted her, but in that
case the house was so large that they
could easily avoid seeing one another.
That dashing young woman, the Hon.
Elsie Mackay, known in the films as Poppy
Wyndham, has obtained freedom from her
husband, Dennis Wyndham, the actor.
Elsie Mackay is the favorite daughter of
Lord Inchcape, the richest man in the
British Empire. Her father objected to
her marriage, but she defied him and not
only married but went into the movies.
Her fathers wealth, however, seems to
have had too much sllurement for her and
this year she obtained a nullifcation of
her marriage on the ground that she had
not resided the requisite number of days
In Scotland, where II was performed.
Perhaps the most sensational divorce
case was that of the elderly Earl Cathcart
against his middle-aged wife. He named
as correspondent the young Earl Of
Craven, who will inherit the immense

ATTEMPT DARING RESCUE.

Cheboygan, Mich, Dec. 12.-Three
life boats put out from Walkers
Point life guard station with men
lashed to the boats in an attempt to
rescue 20 members of the crew of the
steamer J. H. Brown, which ran on
the rocks at Boise Blanc island to-
day.
The freighter was reported to have
a large hole on her side and to be
in danger of sinking. The boat was
disabled by engine trouble and was
at the mercy Of the storm when she
went on the rocks, according to word
reaching here.
