When it is known that a young wife tn New York society has bought a ticket for South Dakota the first question that is asked is: “Whom does she want to ‘marry next?” It fs also assumed that the afflicted husband has al- ready picked out hie consolation for his first failure. Furthermore, it is the invariable rule that the new partners must be married people, whose existing tes must be loosened before they can contract new ones If they are really “in society” their deserted part- ners in turn will seek new affinities under the same conditions, thus widening the circle of divorce, after the manner of the “efdless chain.” Technically all this is not bigamy, but it certainly fg not real matrimony.
