The troubles of a Divorce Court judge were thus summed up on one occasion by the late Lord Gorell. He was suffering from a rather bad headache, which he attributed to the result of scent, ''The ladies of the Divorce Court lore perfumes," he remarked. "It has been a hot and tiring day for me for etf-cli of the witnesses has come into the court and waved about a handkerchief saturated with scent. I have inhaled pa.tchouli, white rose, heliotrope, and hal^ a dozen other perfumes since breakfast, and unfortunately the more emotional ladies become the more they wa7© their pretty scraps of scented cambric and apply them to their eyes."
