But for every divorce in the
above box-car category, there are


thousands that cost only in the hundreds. The
local bar association long ago tried to fix standard
price of $3.50 for the average or-shal we say?-
nonsucker divorce case. But the average lawyers
fee today is much nearer $3.50 And, If a divorce
shops around, she can pick up a bargain for S25

THE well.todo Divorce, in 80 cases, out of hun
dred comes here with her Reno counsel already
arranged for by her own attorney In her own home
town. One of the most familiar sights in Reno is
the smattering of upper-crust attorneys always
on hand at the railroad station to meet incoming
trains bearing clients.
The Divorce without much money is apt to
and do comparison shopping for prices before
above doing it, either Mrs. Vanderbilt Phelps, the
former Muriel Vanderbilt shopped around out here
several years ago without revealing her identity
until the bargain was sealed. She obtained a di-
vorce for a shockingly paltry sum considering her
Vanderbilt background. 1t was in the hundreds,
not the thousands of dollars.
In the meantime, her sister, Mrs William j.
(Jack) Warburton, the former Consuelo Wander
bilt, paid fine, Vanderbiltian sum for divorce
from her first husband, Earl E. T. Smith: When
she compared notes with sister Muriel, ConSuelo
was furious at being taken to the cleaners.
But when she back few years later to
divorce her second husband, Henry Gassaway
Davis, she was on to the ropes.
Without tipping her hand she settled on price
that was but fraction of what her first divorce
had cost. And when her lawyer eventually dis
covered that that quiet little woman under the
nondescrpt name of Davis was Vanderbilt, he
all but expired of apopleXy.
Reno, since divorce is business and hence

sided with the lawyer. 1t snubbed the Vanderbilt
heiress during her incumbency.
