SEEMINGLY NO AGE LIMIT

Applicants for Divorce Are by No Means Always in the Day* of Their Callow Youth. There is no age limit to divorce. In Oregon a woman at the age of eightytwo years is suing for a decree from her husband, who is a callow stripling of seventy-one summers. This seems to be another case of too much mother-in-law, as the wife asserts that her husband’s love has- been- aliens ted and undermined through the work of his mother, who Is now ninety-four years old and who never dM like her, anyhow. They have been married some ten years now, and the wife said that when the husband todk her money to buy an auto for' his mother an{l wouldn’t let his wifs ride In it, she knew that his love was dead. When she remonstrated the husband Coldly informed her that she could leave the house. When the wife said that the home was her own and bought with her own money the husband replied that might be so, but he had thoughtfully had the deed recorded in his own name. Now she has to appeal to the courts. It is rather rough when a bride of elglity-two has to compete with a ninety-four-year-old mother-in-law for the affections of her husband.
