, . Defends Divorce. I
fll"‘1‘e Ansonia Sentinel says: It is
somewhat. remarkable to find a clergy-
2111:1111 defending divorce. and especially
if: this state where the divorce laws
are somewhat lax, and where so many
‘take advantage of them for no otherf
purpose than because they want a
change of companions. Rev. W. F.
Dickerznan. a Universalist minister, of .
New Haven» in a recent sermon, said he -
believed in divorce as he'believed in
.sm-gery—it was one of the necessary

living;
that whatever the sign, it is an evi-
dence of careless marriage and impure
living. Eight hundred thousand people,
almost as. many as "the whole popula-
tion of thisstate—have been separated,
and; it is safe to say that more than two-
thirds of these divorces has been be-
causeone person or the other has been
unfaithful; hasbeen. licentious and im-
pure-in manner of life. .
Mr." Dickerman gives three causes
for the prevalence of divorce:
[first the industrial and intellectual
emancipation of woman. She has dis-
covered that she has not a mere faint-
ing apparatus in place of .man’s men-
t-a‘ty; that she was not -created'fsolely
to '11-: married; that she has a person to
respect and a- right to independence.
Max 1id<re is to be to he1 an incident,
31131 .‘qultme'
.Sccond, woman has obtained a hear-_
ling befo1e the law. Hundreds have
found themselves degradedvand sought
freedom
Third, purer views of marriageEmake
people hesitate till they are sure of
their-afiectiOns: they used to wait till
they were'sure of somebody’s purse.
“Falcon find no ground in these caus-
%, or alleged causes, to defend divorce.
1111.159 tend to make more certainfihap-
pg umrriages they are all right, but Ias
Adel-ease of an act which is in itself
- maxillary to scripture we Cannot- see the
pcint. ‘- It is an acknowledged factthat
irredom of divorce tends to lower the
sanctity of marriage. Men and women
shoknow they can easily' sever their
bonds rush into marriage hastily; they
do not stop to consider the importance
qualifications of each party to the cere-
mony, nor the mutual affinity of the I
panties. They argue: We will try it
and it we are not satisfied we can. get
a divorce on almost any ground and
try-it again with somebody else.
”We would ask the Rev. Mr. Dicker-
1111111 if he approves of this idea. Does
he not think that it tends to licentious-
mess and sensual living 1’ Does it not
shear that the Imarriage, which is -a
heaven-ordained contract, is but the
earning OutOT bestial passion, and that
when this passion is worn out the par:
pies separate. It is a onstr ous perver
neplenish the. earth.
' Tile are strongly opposed to divorce
except on the scriptural ground of adul-
tery. We can see no excuse for sev-
E‘ing the marital tiegbecause one-of the
parties to a marriage is intemperate or.
Bill-tempered. 'If people marry and
find when too late that one drinks or is
abusive, it is- to be regretted, but it
otters no reason for the other to break
up the; home, make the children fath-
cnrless or motherless andgthrow a shad-i
1131: over their lives to the end. If our
lasers were more strict in this respect
aim“: would be less scandal in the
grants and feWci unhappy men and
There isnone remedy for di vorce that
is worth considering, and that is to go
slowly and carefully in contracting the
marriage. The young man andyoung
woman who are thinking of marrying
should be sure of what they are doing.
They should know each other thorough-
ly, be certain that passion is not mis-
taken for love; that the character of
each is above reproach; that the pecul-
iarities of one do not conflict with the
other. If this were done there might
be fewer marriages, but there would be
much less unhappiness.

FEMININE CHAT.
The meekest woman will some time
show an unexpected vein of pluck.
The lightest tints are being used in
the lining of heavy broadcloth gowns.
It isn’t always the prettiest woman
who carries off the most eligible parti
, of the season. ‘
Love at sight isn’t of half the value
in the matrimonial market as love
twelve months after date.
It IS a common mistake to suppose
that the smallest room in the house is
big enough to sleep in. ‘
\Vhat man was ever known to spend
asleepless night 0v er the termination
of a lov e affair. ’
A woman must be either be very ill. or.
worrying over some heart sorrow to
lose interest in a new frock.
\{Ian s decorath e ambition seems to
1un largely to a 100m containing a
dado of theatrical photographs
It should be quite as impossible for a
woman to be depiessed in a pink frock
as for one to be h'ilarious in crepe.
A man never looks quite as sheepish
as when he stands up in a train to have
‘his clothes brushed by the porter.
Why is it that the persons who suffer
most from acute dyspepsia are the ones
well able to afford the best things to
eat. _
When a man feels familiar enough
with a woman to swear in her presence,
it won’t be long before he will swear at
her. I .
Did ever a woman live, breathe and
have her existance who didn’t at some
time or other wonder what become of
all her hair pins?
It' Is the easiest thing' in the world for
a Woman to get herself talked about,
but it isn’t half as easy to prove there
is no real reason for Iit. I
The habit that Iwomen have of carry:
ing their handkerchiefs up their sleeves
is responsible for the thriving business
always done in these articles.
It is noticeable at the Free Library
that the books on the shelves that re-
quire no reaching or stoop-ingoto get at
them are the ones soonest worn out.
‘ Many a'dressmaker has a fit over a
customer’s broken engagement, andxitk
is more than the customer gets even if
she should appear promptly on time. .
It is only. because a woman’s limbs
get Wet from dragging skirts that the
average feminine hates a rainy day?
Short skirts would obviate all trouble
and there would be less coughs and
colds. '
How often one puts a ring on the fin-
ger in order to assist memory and then
wonders what on earth it was done for.
This species of forgettery is specially .
prevalent when a wedding ring is the
one in question. ..
