A wedding in Paddington register office nine years ago between A 40-years-old cousin of King Alfonso of Spain and a wealthy Prin- cess, now 82, is, according to the husband, to be dissolved because he is madly in love with an American girl.

The chief characters in the tri- anglo are:

His wife, the former Princess de Brogile, a member of one of

the oldest families in France and a grandmother when she raarried; and

Theima Altebery, of New York, barely out of her twenties.

The Prince, who in the past has been credited with having many loves, said in Rome recently that he met Thelma in Venice last March.

RESPONDENT MAY NOW APPLY

B

The Act, besides introducing fresh grounds for divorce and other reforms, aimed at remedying this situation. Now respondent is entitled to apply for a decree nisi to be made absolute at the end of the statutory six months if the petitioner fails to do so.

The circumstances in which the court should accede to such a request-if the petitioner opposes it-are being questioned.

The application was by Mr. Ralph Robert Chappell, who la seeking to have a decree nisi granted to his wife, Mrs. Margaret, Mary Chappell, eleven months ago made absolute.

It Must Be True-The

Vicar Has Seen It

There is no doubt now that there is a 60ft, monator in the sea somewhere off Southwold, Suffolk.

The vicar of Southwold, the Rev. R. N. Pyke, his wife, and the Rev. W. N. Walch, of the Missions to Seamon, ware looking out of the vicarage window when they saw the monster moving in a "sort of undulating way” at about 50 miles an hour.

It was dark in colour, but not black, and the part that was sticking out of the water at any one time was larger: than the biggest motor-car.

The two fishormon, Ernest Watson and William Hor- rington, who claim also to have scon the monster, "romarked when told the nows: "Now the vitár:has soon it that should. be good enough.”

There is a belief among those industrialists interested in the production of synthetic fuels, and the vehicles that will run on them, that such a possibility lies behind a ples made by Mr. Leslie Burgin, Minister of Transport.

He was speaking at a dinner in London of the Institute of Automobile Engineers, and pleaded for an engine that will run on home-produced fuel.
