ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE WON

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE WON
EN-
(From the Rutland News)
Elma Louise Singeton's name Should
certainly be enrolled high on the scroll
OF famous victories for the cause Of
womens rights
suading a divorce court that hus-
band who Is engaged In business six
days Of the week should remain at home
and entertain his wife on the seventh,
and that failure to do SO furnishes good
grounds for sevcring the marriage bond.
This Is long step In advance from
the days when man was permitted TO
whip his wife provided the whip was no
thicker than his little finger Surely it
marks an era of new womens rights
worthy OF little extra jublation. and
surely Elma Louise deserves TO be the
central figure OF the rejoicing.
sAOn we shall have other offenses
listed ms valid ground for cutting the
tie that binds. Eating pie with knife,
stopping out after eight of an evening,
taking In more than one ball game n
week. smoking a nasty smelling pipe,
refusal to wear a high collar in August,
eating onions. neglect to curl the mus
tache. and snoring may now hope TO be
recognized as Just cause for divorce
The forward sisterhood will be just
ined In holding n real celebration then.
But In the meantime, common fnirness
demands that Elma Louise should re-
ceivev immediate recognition as n gro
e-e-e-a-t bsnafactor OF her suffering sex.
