Some Scope.

Dr. Charles 13. Colmore, the new bishop of Porto Rico, said of divorce in America: “Oh, ours is not the only country with a rampant divorce spirit. I was talking one day to a Roumanian priest and he said that the Greek church only allowed three divorces. “ Only,’ mind you—those were his very words —’only!’ ‘‘H p- said he married a couple onee and the bride having already been divorced twice, he said to her in a whisper at the altar: “ ‘You’d better be careful this time. Remember, by the law of the church, this is your last chance. This time it’s for keeps.’ “ ‘Oh, no,’ said the bride, with a toss of the head; ’oh, no. My first husband was my cousin, so that marriage was illegal, and consequently I have still some scope.' ”
