Mr. Booth, in answer to a letter from her regarding his conduct, con- fessed that he had met a girl at a dance about two months before and been living with her off and on ever since. He suggested that his wife should divorce him
"Later he asked his wife to let him divorce her," said Lord Merri vale, on the pretence that she had. committed misconduct, as it would hurt him if she divorced him and would not hurt her, apparently be cause she was living in France..
The wife would not consent to the arrangement, and thereupon the husband wrote:
Mr. Hilbery: May I take it that no sort of trouble arose," and "you had no complaint against the First National Pictures until after "Sir John Martin-Harvey began criticise-I think Sir John started to criticise as soon as we started to produce the picture.

Lord Merrivale said that later Mr. Booth sent his wife an hotel bill, and stated that he had been advised by some lawyers who were experts in divorce; that he had gone to a London hotel,, where he wrote his own name on an identification sheet and the fictitious name of "Daisy Booth" on another.
Lord Merrivale added that he did not propose to grant a decree on that allegation, but there was proof. of misconduct, with persons un- known contained in the correspon- dence, and Mrs. Booth would be granted a decree nii on that part of the case, with costs.
STRADIVARI'S SECRET.
REPORTED DISCOVERY IN OLD DESK AT BERGAMO.
According to report from Milan, published in the Messag gero, the secret that made An- tonid Stradivari the master violin
maker of all time has at last been discovered, after two centuries of vain research.
The alleged discovery was made. by chance by an antiquary of Ber-- gamo while doing restoration work on an old chest. In the piece of furniture he found a secret drawer. containing some autobiographical notes in the handwriting of Stradi- vari, together with a bundle of papers written by an abbot friend, including a biography of the in- strument maker,"
Mr. Bandy said in further Evi dence that there was a time when the grass bookings for "The Only Way
were £39,187. "A film star of first magnitude" would have wanted £20,000 to appear in the film The hearing was adjourned.
