It becomes effective at once, and Is as follows: No minister, knowingly, after due Inquiry, shall solemniie the marriage of any person who has been, or is, the husband or the wife of any other person then living, from whom he or she haa been divorced for any cause arising after marriage. But this canon ahall not be held to apply to the Innocent party In a divorce for infidelity, provided, that before the application for such remarriage a period of not less than one year shall have elapsed after granting of such dl-- vorce, and that satisfactory evidence touching the facts In the case, including a copy of the court's decree, and record, if practicable, with such proor that the defendant was personally served or appeared in the action, be laid before the ecclesiastical authority, and such ecclesiastical authority, having taken, le-: gal advice thereon, shall have declared in writing that In his Judgment the- case of the applicant conforms to the requirements of this canon, and provided. urth er that It shall be within the discretion of any minister to decline to solemnize any marriage.

In the spring the dust and stuffiness of heated winter rooms is to be driven out and haste made to get thlnga out of the greedy moth's way.

But In the fall greater detects of the house are remedied with an eye to comfort, and If there are new furnishings they are of a practical kind, like a new range, more blankets, or an easy chair.
