...typical case reported by Divorce was that of Mrs. Celia Firestone who saw her husband enter the apartment of another woman in the Bronx. Such items, so common in divorce cases, are dull reading. But Divorce also told how a husband complained in court that his wife had not taken a bath in two years; how a wife complained that her husband had made her sleep in the chicken-coop and sell the hens' eggs to provide herself with necessities; how a husband complained that his wife had been attending strip poker parties when he was away at work...
...Lowell, Mrs. Matthew Luce, Mrs. Jacob W. Miller, Mrs. Torrance Parker, Mrs. Charles M. Proctor, Mrs. Rowland R. Robnson, Mrs. Dwight M. Sayles, Mrs. Hugh D. Scott, Mrs. Markham W.

PHILOPENA-Henry Kitchell Webster-Bobbs Merrill ($2). Identical twin sisters are brought up separately, differently. Ten months after Celia's marriage, to which Cynthia could not go, she sends for Cynthia. Cynthia has no husband. Celia's husband is away.

So she took it to the Animal Rescue League, whose veterinarians diagnosed the ailment as dumb rabies, the variety in which the sick beast remains quiet and sullen until an overcurious human pokes at it. This dog died; the four rabies victims are receiving Pasteur treatment, and Pittsburgh has a "mad dog" scare...
...Chesterton)-McBride ($2.50). When the grey little man in the taxi ejaculated "Petrel" and hastily explained he was talking to himself, the cabbie smiled sympathetically. But the clerk at the Hotel Splendide knew better. He completed the name most deferentially-John K. Petre-without being told. And Mrs. Celia Cyril (whoever she was) seemed enchanted with John K. Petre (whoever he was). The two ex-chancellors agreed, the Old Cabinet Minister hemmed affably. So the little grey man guessed he was John K. Petre without doubt, evidently a U. S. millionaire and a devil of a fellow for secrecy...
