RATHER EMBARRASSING.
The Sad Case Of the Young Woman
Who Wanted to Talk


A most embarrassing experience was
that Of certain West Philadelphia

attended a reception, in which a num-

monial yoke an unwelcome one for

separation from their husbands To one
Of these women, quite unwittingly,
having just been introduced, the young
woman, who is nothing if not viyacious
and conversational, addressed the ques-
tom.
"By the way, Mrs. r., don't you
think divorce is wrong9 The woman,
reddening slightly, replied:
"My dear. there are two sides to that
question. Perhaps you have not heard
my story.
The questioner, embarrassed beyond
measure, stammefed an excuse and
walked away. To the first woman she
met she confded her trouble, saying
ooh, DEAR have just made a most
unfortunate remark. You know Mrs.
r. Well ! spoke to her about divorce,
and she's divorced, you know
$50 am I, my dear, was the smi1-
ing reply, and once again the young
woman wished that the floor would
open under her. She felt SO bad that she
went to one Of the women in charge of
the reception and taking her aside,
told her the whole story, asking her ad
vice as to what she should do.
DO nothing at all, Miss t. was
the reply. II really don't think they
have any horror of the subject SO long
as it's innocently called up. | know |

Whereat the conversational miss
donned her hat. and, fearing to say an
other word went home. Exchange.
