Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Divorce a mensa et thoro — Conflict of laws — Reconciliation.</p> <p>A decree of divorce from bed and board entered in another state with alimony to the wife, will not bar a subsequent suit for divorce brought by the wife in Pennsylvania, where it appears that after the decree was entered in the other state, the parties were recon-oiled, established a home together in Pennsylvania, but subsequently separated.</p> <p>A decree of divorce from bed and board does not dissolve the relation of husband and wife; it merely suspends some of the obligations arising out of the marriage relation. If there is a subsequent reconciliation, alimony ceases, and a new divorce is necessary to support the wife’s claim of alimony.</p>
