In 1916 a. Frenchman made an
estimate as to happiness Of hus-
bands and wives in England. !. Out
of every hundred thousand popufa-
ton, he concluded, only thirteen OF
the married were fairly happy. OF
those passing for happy, he estimat,
) ed the number at 1925 per. 100, 600
OF those living in open hostility he
found 1885; 1920 of the secretly
disseminated, and 58,406 of the ma.
terially Indifferent. Nearly 5000
ran away or were divorced during
the year. Conditions are bet.

not believe only 65 married persons
in it are only fairly happy. In my !.

Great outrages are apparently
committed -byf judges. It is stated
by a reputable newspaper, quoting
official records. that a woman was

ing year the court sallowed bills of
the guardian amounting to forty
thousand dollars, mostly bills for
fees of lawyers, while the insane
woman was allowed only six thou
sand, for living expenses.
And now hundreds of the wom-
ans neighbors testify she was never
insane; the woman herself swore
that she was persuaded by law
yers to consent to fraudulent In
