trast then was between the north and
the south. But the divorce rates of
the north and south have been con
verging, while those of the east and
west have diverged With the open
ing of the quick and easy divorce
mill in Reno, New, the western states
will soon be in the championship
class.
Marriage nowadays is nothing
more than farce, in many instances
mere business arrangement. The
census figures on divorce wipe out
many false impressions.
1T is frequently assumed that many
couples who find their way to the
divorce courts separate precipitately
before they have given marriage a
fair trial. But the figures show, and
usually figures don't lie, that the aver.
age interval before separation is some.
thing more than 6h years, and is not
diminishing.
Do Not Separate Soon.
More than half the couples lived to
gether above four years, while in the
majority of cases the duration of mar
riage exceeded seven years. There
fore it would be rash to surmise that
people are forming risky and unstable
unions in full view of their easy dis
solution, made possible by the laws OF
most states.
Not many seek divorce in order to
remarry, at least, such is not usually
the case as some persons would make
the unknowing public believe" says
Mrs. Parker.
I'm Connecticut, for instance, during
period of four years, the number ol
divorced persons married was about
80 per cent. of the number legally sep
arated in the same length of time. In
Rhode Island the proportion was even
less.
"Remarriage is one of those cases
in which, as DR.. Johnson expresses
it, hope triumphs over experience,
and it is not at all certain that the
rate for divorced persons much ex
ceeds that for widows and widowers
of the same age. Certainly the re
NhtlL many IN
posing on remarriage do not seem to
appreciably affect the divorce rate
and the only solution for the evil is in
the hands of those persons contem
plating divorce. Let those who make
matrimonial mistakes suffer a little
for their misstep instead of rushing
to the divorce court"
The poem that is credited with
having done something towards re-
uniting the Parkers was widely copied
at the time, but now it is forgotten
The author claims no credit for her
part in abating the divorce evil by one
case.

she, and / delight in scribbling them

managed to escape the waste basket
