perhaps Mr. Shaw's finest play, It is in Man and Superman,' where the dramatist really plumbs the depths of human relationships. This is what he wrote in a letter to Mr. A. B. Walkley, the famous critic, which forms the preface to the play:

And yet (writes Dean Inge in the Evening Standard), the institution of monogamous marriage is every where assailed. In America divorce is so easy and so common that mar rage is widely looked upon as a revocable experiment.

GROWTH OF DIVORCE.

RAPID INCREASE IN THE
