Premarriage bureaux where sug- gestions and advice are handed out have been operated with success in Germany, and Judge Cairns has something of that kind in mind for this country. In response to an application for a separation order from her hus- band, the judge growled; *I wish you women would come to me be- fore 'you get married linstead 'of afterwards." To another woman, barely 20, who complained that her husband would not work and that she was living, against her will, with her parents-in-law, Judge Cairns remark ed: "You women--you young women particularly---go and make a mess of your marriage by picking the wrong man at a dance or some other place, and then you come here and expect me to clear it all up for you in a few moments."
