MARRIAGE AS AN “ EX- PERIMENT"
ORIGINAL EVIDENCE BY MR, PLOWDEN,
SITOULD OR DISSOLVED BY MUTUAL CONSENT. Mr Plowden, the metropolitan police magis- trate, was the principal witosis on 14th Jdas before the Divorce Commission, and expressed some original views,
Heald ble view was that marriagò‚and divorca were really part of the sime quanion, He thought there was a great deal of untésson, able prejudice against divorce, and this, with certain alterations in the law, might be con- siderably dimilisbed,
Marriage, should be encouraged in every way, and divorce aino should be encouraged--not for its own sake, but for the sake of marriage Martioga could not hopsto be a working success if divorce was not in the background. If they had divorce au à protection, they marriage be- came a wise investment: Without divorce as a protection be looked upon marriage' as a dan. I gerous and mad gamble.. Therefore he took the view that the two things were closely con- pected, and that divorce should really be look. ed upon as consolidating the marriage. The question was whether the blessings of divorce: - be looked upon them—abould be extend. ed to the poorer classes.
The Chairman: Would maka divorce cheap er for the poster sluttes ?—The value of divorce does not depend upon wasser it is cheap'or not-upon whether it cous as much as a motor- car or a bicycle. Divorce is as much a social pacusstly as marriage,
A CHECK ON MARRIAGE.
But I snealu like (continued the witness) to see some check pus upau marriages as they sro at present and i agree with the suggestion of Me. Cecil Chapman that my marriage should

Bir · Lewit Dibdior Why do you want, ai trained lawyer?" Why should not people put deed of separation ?—That is an ideal state of at God to marriage much as they enter into
'things you are sketching. Is it practicable?
But is it impracticable ?--If it could be done I see no objection to it.

In reply to questions by Lady Frances Bal four, Mr. Plowden said:, i think the averago wife does view with a certato indulgence-out the least, of course, with approval, but with a certain indulgence-the discovery that her husband bas baco gality of casual infidelity.
The same "discovery made by a husband would be.e: terrible discovery....... He could no longer have any confidence in his wife at all, A man's reputation in this matter does not stand so high. When a woman goes wrong, it is a shipwreck of the whole establishment.
Lady Frances Balfour: A man's infidelity, of course, brings more shipwreck, because Ia woman's whole life, is her homo.
