and testifieS to his weeks resi-
dence. His attorney then dis
misses him before his complaint
is entered. The wife's cross COM
plant is entered. The decree is
granted the wife. It is more gal
liant that way.
But husband residences in Reno
are rare. Usually he is too busy
earning the money to enable his
wife to pay for hers.
Can Mrs. Failure ever get away
from Reno during her six weeks
cure?
But certainly. 1t was lovable
old Judge Bartlett, now a prom
inent attorney in Reno who in
vented the two-day shopping holi-
day.
FEW QUESTIONS ASKED
Occasionally during a hearing,
the bench will ask a question or
two of the plaintiff as to the
times and duration of the alleged
cruelties, or the date that the de-
sertion occurred-but not too
many. AS one judge admitted
frankly:
1T isn't wise often to ask too
many questions, or to go too
deeply into the cases. .."
And besides the law is plain
it is not necessary to allege the
cause of action except IN the
words of the statutes.
And so they come and go, four
or five minutes to q case. They
speak their pieces metallically and
by rote. 1t all sounds like bad
dress rehearsal for a play by an
amateur theatrical company.
"And do you intend to con-
tinue your residence here?" asks
the judge.
YES" replies the plaintiff.
INTENTIONS FLEETING
And two hours later Shit is on
plane or train for home. A lady
can change her mind, can't she?
Double fault is no excuse for
not granting a divorce in Nevada.
The doctrine of comparative recti-
tude has been made part Of the
Nevada divorce laws. In cases
where there is recrimination the
court is authorized to grant a di-
vorce to the party least at fault
:. You might be able to tie the
Nevada divorce hopper, but you
can't beat it-yet.

What's that white stuff all over
the steps leading up to the portal?
BEGINNING MEETS END
Why, it's rice. Somebody has
tust been married. The trail OF
white grains leads right upstairs
to the second floor to the lobby OF
the divorce chambers.
Here. where a young couple is
Just beginning married life, is the
end of the trail for Mrs. Failure
Her six weeks are up. She is
about to get divorce.
The court room is large, digni-
fled, done in mahogany. A single
American flag stands behind the
bench. The room is practically
empty. There are no more than
six or seven people in 1.-THE bail
iff, the court stenographer, a court
reporter, the attorney for the
plaintiff, the plaintiff and a sin
gle witness.
SIMPLE AS CAN BE
The Judge enters and takes his
seat and opens the case. The
one witness takes the stand and
testifies that the plaintiff has re-
sided continuously in the State of
Nevada for a period of six weeks.
The witness steps down. The
plaintiff steps up. She testifies
to the cause of action-extreme
cruelty. The judge says decree
granted" in slightly more legal
phraseology.
And that is that.
No dirty linen is washed. Under
amended Nevada law, it is neces'
Sary only to allege that the de-
fendant has been guilty of extreme
cruelty or desertion, or has failed
to provide necessaries for the
plaintiff.
NINE GROUNDS
There are nine grounds for
divorce in Reno-impotency, adul,
terry, desertion, conviction of a
felony or infamous crime, habitual
drunkenness, extreme cruelty in
either party (this is the pet, and
may be either physical or mentaD
neglect to provide the neceSsaries
of life, insanity and a five-yeal
separation.
But here are some of the neatel
tricks and quirks of the law. II
isn't necessary for the wife to
spend the six weeks residence in
Reno If she can talk her husband
into taking six weeks vacation
hunting and fishing in the Nevada
hills. After the husband has
served his six weeks, the wife can
then sue him from New York or
Chicago or Los Angeles and the
divorce is granted.
ANOTHER WAY OUT
Or at the end of the six weeks
period, the husband sues for
divorce. The wife files a cross
complaint and either flies out on
the day of the trial, or her depo
Sition on the cross complaint is
taken.
The husband takes the stand
