There is a similar bill in reâ€" lation to Prince Edward Island. _ In cousequence, every province but Queâ€" bec will now have Divorce Courts. The reform has been long talked of, and is brought about by the appalling number who soek divorce by the Parâ€" liamentary _ method. There are 128 Iamvlicams this session. Of this num-} ber 75 are from Toronto alone. The Senate is not divesting itself of the right it possesses, but when the enactâ€" ment becomes law its divorce activiâ€" |tles will be very much reduced. As | the main opposition to the reform has come from Quebec, and as that provâ€" ince is left alone, the presumption is that the measure will pass with little | difficulity. > Y. M. C. A.
