WHIG K0 GROUND FOR A DIVORGE Presiding Judge Graham frowns upon people who enter the divorce courts because of mere whims or caprices. In denying a legal separation to Helen W. and Charles W. Pryal the court sternly criticised the gction of parents who ask for divorces because here and there in their married life they have a little trouble. Marrlage, declared Judge Graham, is to be looked upon as a sacred tie and not as a mere convenience to be thrown off upon the slightest provoeation. In the case at bar he expressed the opin- ion that Pryal and his wife can live together and that they should be com- pelled to do so. He said in part: There two small children issue R . and for the sake of each of the parents should sacrifice. Necessity is a s r, and when husbands and wives are given to understand that the courts will not grant divorces on mere whims or caprices, then and then alone will the sacredness of the marriage tie be looked upon in the light that it should be and not as a mere conve- nience, to be thrown off upom the htest provecation. Its obligation must be lived up to. and no disselution of it can be had uniess there is abund- | ant evidence to justify it. The divorce is denied.
