DIVORCE COURT LEVITY. LONDON, November 1. A large crowd, including many fashionably dressed women and actresses, thronged the Divorce Court yesterday to hear the petition of Karl Cowley against his wife. Ihe crowd began to gather long before Lord Merrivale took his seat on the bench, and at the opening of the proceedings there was not standing room inside the court. Ilotli the earl and the countess have been on the stage. The earl has acted as Arthur Wellesley and the countess, an American, was a Gaiety girl. During the cross-examination of Lord Cowley by Sir Ellis Hume-Willinms, K.C.. he was asked whether Lady Cowley said that his conduct was worrying her verv much and that if it went I on it would prevent her from feeding the baby, laird Cowley replied that he did not remember it. Sir Ellis: Did you say that would not matter because you had been brought up by bottle? 'Laughter.' Sir Ellis observed that he did not see anything amusing in that remark. The President (T.ord Merrivale): That depends on the class of mind that hears it Sir Ellis. People who come here to amuse themselves with details of that sort I will find a way of clearing out of the court,
