In those days of leagues and. associations, it is gratifying to And a new one that ranlly seems to have practient designs and to cater for the needs of a consider- able class. A new association lins has just been founded in Berlin, a Reich Association for the pro- tection of divorced, separated, and deserted wives.

There are many women in these three categories who will be grate. ful for an association which will give them legal, economic, and medical advice. There will be special departments to safeguard their legal rights and to advise them in business matters,

An occupations office will pro- vide courses for the study of various occupations and will act as a registry centre for Anding work.

The association will start cam- paign for the reform of divorce and separation laws, and it is pro- to published a newspaper to posed interest public opinion in the con- ditions of many helpless women.

Club-houses will be opened to give them some social relaxation, and a fund will be established to provide financial assistance in cases of necessity while awaiting einployment.
