Mrs. Jenny Wind, wife of a prominent Leipsio actor, says In an interview in Das Theater: "If my husband kisses, on the stage, strictly according to stage directions, I dan't mind, but if his kissing should get too . real I would scratch those girls' eyes out. The wife of Von Ledebur, of the Royal Theater, asked by the same pa per for her. opinion of her husband's stage kisses, says: "Personally, I would rather see my husband kiss in public than to know that he kissed another woman secretly, behind my back." Fran Lotte Bronsgeest, whose hus band is in the Royal Opera Company, tells the reporter: "My Cornelius has kissed and cuddled innumerable women, but he merely makes me smile when 1 watch him from the parquet, becauae in real life he kisses and cuddles very differently." Mrs. Tilly Boettcher, wife of a widely known actor at the Kaiser Theater, thus gives her view: "At first I didn't like my man's kiss ing on the stage, but afterward I die. covered there's not much honey to be got off painted lips." Mrs. Hedwig Alexander, wife of the farcical comedian, says: "My husband, during his career, has given 6480 stage kisses, he has broken marriage vows 4738 times, he has been 'caught compromlslngly' 8647 times, and he has exclaimed 'Heavens! My wife'.' 2895 times. "But I have not been distressed by his love affairs on the stage. I am delighted when each time on return ing home he has exclaimed on greet ing me, 'Thank Heavens! Here is one woman whose clothes go all around her.' I do not mind his being a public Don Juan, because at home he belongs exclusively to me."

LONDON DIVORCES EASIER Churchmen In England Worry as Decrees Become Popular. LONDON, Dee. 28. Easy divorce is now becoming quite fashionable in England and is causing deep concern among Anglican churchmen. It is the method recently adopted by Lady Ran dolph Churchill, Countess de la Warr, the Countess Cowley ana several orner members of smart society. When a hus band or wife deserts an order for the restitution of conjugal rights is ob tained by the injured party. This is disregarded by the person to whom it is addressed, which, under British law, constitutes cruelty as required by the statute. Then formal evidence of compromising conduct la given and the decree nisi is granted. There is no fuss and no really diss- Wives Don't Mind greeable publicity. The errant party lies low for six montns and tnen re turns to society and is received as if nothing had happened. Undoubtedly the tone of English society has growji infinitely more lax of late years in these matters. The smartest entertainment in Lon don last week was given by a beautiful woman who ran away about six months ago with a married man, and the cou ple only returned to their lawful mates when, after a month, both were given to understand finally that the wronged husband on the one hand and the wronged wife on the other would not sue for divorce Still more significant was the fact that among the woman's guests at the dinner was the man with whom she had eloped.
