(mail order house), sat, hour after hour and day after day last week, in the divorce court of Judge Joseph Sabath in Chicago. An observer, not a divorce-seeker, was Mr. Rosenwald. As to how he would use his observations, he said: "I have nothing definite I can give out now. If you were a mind-reader you would know what the plans...
