The announcements of fashion- able marriages frequently contain the statement that instead of being a bachelor, spinster, widow or wid- ower, one or both of the contract ing parties was divorced. The name of the former husband or wife, the date of the marriage and the date of the divorce are given somewhat like a cook’s references. But these fashionable divorces, which on account of the social prominence of the parties e more pub- licity, are only part of the great divorce tide, which in Chicago has reached the proportion of one divorce to every seven marriages, and in New York, including the separation suits, has grown to an almost equal Tatio. The courts are crowded not only with ordinary divorce suits but with alimony proceedings, suits for damages for alienation of affections, breach of promise and like actions betokening a state of matrimonial instability. Also, the proportion of these cases where there are living chikiren is increasing. This indicates that the welfare and reputation of the chil dren, which should be a powerful deterrent to the divorce of the parer is losing its force, and that the i jon of matrimony is losing its stability. mM itn Hi HH DRINS —ae- ~ y ©) is —" RICAN Fleer" = There have always been “affinities.” In European capitals like Vienna, Paris and Berlin the “affinity” has come to be a recognized social class, but in these cities few wives feel called upon to get a di | for such a reason, especially when there are children for whose sake to| continue the family life.

He told Robinson that !t was very risky, that few people could stand It. Robinson finally "tumbled" to this trick and met it half way with: “Say, Bailey, you can pitch your tent in hell and I'll ride there just the same for $800 a week.” It used to make Batley turn cold to approach Robinson on the long voyage every week and hand the champion $500 in gold coin the same as If the rider | were at work; but Jim held Batley to his contract.

Amgerone was called up on the telephone and tn- | ted to come out and play with the fire demon. Amgerone yawned and sald | wasn't interested. The Greenwich Snooze takes high ground in favor of bringing fires to the engine house to be put out. It reprehends Mr. Somerville and hia compantons on the following grounds: (1) They deserved to be burned out because they ara bachelors and do not cultivate home tls; (2) they do not vote in Greenwich, and so fail to cast thelr annual ballots for R, Jay Walsh, Wiliam J.
