Wiether the former Helen Wilson will return to her native heath ap- pears undecided, nor is it known whether the Sultan has made fin- ancial settlement on her. British authorities at Singapore, site of the greatest of England’s naval baces, which adjoins Johore are making investigation of the sit- uation. Only a few details thus far have become -public knewledge but they are loaded with dramatic dyna- mite. The Sultan plans to visit America in September to renew friendship formed four years ago. The Sultan personally issued the decree which casts aside his wife He acted strictly in accordance with Mahometan law which requires a husband to exclaim to his wife: “Talak! Talak! Talak! Talak!” It means “GET OUT". The word which means “Get Out,” spoken four times as a command constitutes a divorce and requires absolute obedience. The Sultana got out, literally. Of- ficially the wife’s inability to adapt herself to the habits of her sixty- four-year-old spouse caused the divorce. The oddly mated couple were mar- ried in 1930. She is the daughter of a Glasgow business man and the former wife of the Sultan’s per- sonal physician. After a double marriage, civil and Mahometan, she promised to adopt| Malayan customs and creed. ‘When they appeared last May at King George’s coronation, the bride wore a gown of gold and more than ardson.
