DIVORCE COURT
IDLE IN NORTH
Married Couples Loyal To
It'll Death DO Us Part"
Vows

Ottawa, Ont, July 3l.-Marriagcs
in Canada are successful, and fam
lies still are loyal to the "tiI death
DO us part" tradition. Divorces grant
ed in the Dominion numbered only
544 in 1922, or wo-thirds of one per
cent of all the marriages contracted,
according to d report just compiled
by the Dominion Bureau of tSatis-
tics.
Based on population, the report
shows, divorces numbered seven to
every 100000 persons. Divorces in the
United States, according to official
figures for the last year on record,
numbered 112 to every 100000 people.
"The 1922 figures" says the report,
probably indicate that the wave of
divorce due to the war has reached
its highest point and is now on the
decline. Total DEGREES granted last
year showed a reduction of four COM
pared with 1921. The remarkably low
percent of divorces shows the sta
bility of Canadian homes and insti-
tutions."
Of the total divorces granted, hus-
bands received 316, or about 60 per-
cent and wives 228, or about 40 per-
cent. British Columbia led in de-
crees issued, with 1873. followed by
Alberta with 129 and Manitoba with
81. One province, Prince Edward Is
land granted no divorces. Only one
divorce has been granted in this pro-
vince since 1868, and that was in
1922.
The greater percent of the divorced
were residents of cities. Compare
tivelv few applications were made
among the agricultural population.

FALL STYLES
ARE ARRIVING
Show Effects of Designing Of
Fifty Years Ago and
Chinese Work

The most striking features of the
early fall dresses arriving at local
shops arc the effects of Chinese
styles and cAoring; in the ea.N fall
hats poke shapes and two-tone shades
Of coloring are the most noticeable
changes.
!. Probably the most noticeable thing
in fall dresses is their rcversion to
styles Of fifty years ago--bustles or
appcndages of that type of dressing
and flounces may be seen in the
chic fall gowns which are on display.
One of the most dashing fan gar
ments shown was satin gown of
distinctly Harem and trouser effect.
In fall dresses the poiret twill in
blue appears as popular as last year.
For orpamcntation it has braiding
or buttons. the braid and silk work
being used to outline the Chinese de-
signs in peculiar orential shades Of
red, and blue, gray, or other colors.
Some of the long line effects are
still popular while the coat like suit
styles, des' gncd from the Chinese
robes is one OF the newest. Large
ornamental buckles continue to beau
tify the garments.
In silks the crepes continue pOpu-
lar while satin backed crepcs and sat
In frocks arc among the newest. All
.colors appear to be good in these,
blue, brown, black and green appear
ing as leaders. Long tasselS and
long sleeves. wide cuffs with buttons
ornamenting them, are conspicuous
in fall styles.
The hustle effects on the, dresses
arc quite charming-little plait-like
affairs that give only a hint of their
ancestry. The wide flouce that APP
pears on some of the woolens as we'll
as the silk appears very charming al
though brought forth from ancient,
ancestry. The MORE silk is popular
again this year, and some beading
on silks continues stylish.
AS an opposite extreme to the
little poke bonncts are, large picture
hats. and even large poke bonncts.
Their greatest beauty consists in the
brilliant colors of the velvet and silk |
from which they arc made. and the
many beautiful pieces of hand made |
fruits and flowers from silks. and
hand painted ornaments that appear
on the hats.
The coats have some resemblance |
to those of last year-the uneven
skirt line continues, and brown, blue, |,
and black arc popular shades, While J
fur appears on sorne of the more I
expensive ones, less fur seems to be |
used than last year. Crushed plush !,

London, July 31.-Mlle. Suzanne

She told her admirers how she kept
her stockings up in play, why she
sometimes cried on the court, what
it is like to be champion at VIM

was which depicted her as a slave of
her father, who was really very kind
and patient.
IL am so very pleased to have a
chance of speaking to you," said Su-

cent. "When l play at Wimbledon.

you all talk about lne and are curious
about my stockings. How do keep
them up? l role a piece of elastic
