A day or two ago our Canton cor respandent referred to the great in crease in the number of divorces granted by the Courts in that city, Evidently, then, the tendency to nocid judicial relief from unhappy marriages is becoming general in China, but whether this is due to the influence of "movie" pictures

open to question. We are in clined to believe that the class of people most likely to be influenced by the nonsense seen on the screen would not have sufficient gumption to draw an intelligent, deduction from what they see. The increasing number of divorces among Chinese is surely nothing more than natural consequence of the great changes which org.saking:place in the social system. Young men nad women are refusing, quite rightly, to be bound by the conventions ab served by their olders, even though those customs may (or may not) have been sanctioned by China's "Throneless King."
