it follows that the effect is taken off by the repetition of misconduct ;

In Pennsylvania ,

s Laws of Penna .
288 ,
it is enacted that "
in any suit or action for divorce for cause of adultery ,
if the defendant shall allege and prove that the plaintiff has admitted the defendant into conjugal society or embraces ,
after he or she knew of the criminal fact ,
or that the plaintiff (
if the husband )
allowed of his wife '
s prostitutions ,
or received hire ,
for them ,
or exposed his wife to lewd company ,
whereby she became ensnared to the crime aforesaid ,
it shall be a good defence ,
and perpetual bar against the same ."
The same rule may be found ,
perhaps ,
in the codes of most civilized countries .
