T HERE are very many people
who are married in the eyes
OF the world and yet are
really just as much divorced
as though the courts had passed the
decree.
These people are not always the
.quarrelsome kind either
Many a time a wife hides her real
feelings because she has no money of
her own and could not earn her living
IL she were cast adrift, but that she is
all the better on this account no one
may doubt
And there are husbands who submit
to wives nagging silently because re-
monstrances only make matters worse,
but that each despises the woman who
makes life miserable for him no one
can doubt either.

When hanging up the gowns the
