DIVORCE LIKE A BARN DANCE
Rita" the English Novelist, Mocks
the American Marriage.

New York, May Mrs. Desmond
Humphreys, the English novelist,
known by the title OF Rita thinks
the American marriage is like barn
dance.
You cross hands and change part
ners when the prompter calls out 'di-
vorce," she said today
Your stores and your divorce
courts are much alike. They are both
filled with women who are returning
their III st choices for the most ut
terly trivial and inexcusable reasons.
One woman gets a divorce because
somebody else's husband makes her
seem poor and insignificant. Another
gets it because her mother or sisters
find fault with the man OF the house.
And some wish to get rid Of their hus-
bands for no reason at all except
some fancied lity-'incom-
patibility, believe, is the word You
use TO-. it.
Divorce in England.
Il myself obtained divorce from
my husband But in England there
are only two grounds, unfaithfulness
and cruelty. And believe that that
is as 1t should be- no other evils
should be strong enough to separate
those whom God hath joined.
You regard marriage as nghtly as
a child's game, and, like children, you
! always want to stop playing if you
can't win all the time. And speaking
/ of children. do you ever stop to real
! ize what your divorces are doing to
them? They will grow up with even
| less respect than yourselves for the
most sacred tie in the world They
! will show the results Of uneven devel-
/ opment, for they must be brought up
| by one parent instead of two. Or,
! when they spend part of the time
with the iather and part with the
mother. there Is precious little bring
/ ing up on either side. Each is too
anxious to prejudice the child against
the other to give any thought to the
moral and mental welfare of the poor
little bone OF contention himself.
So Much Publicity.
And when there must be a divorce,
You Americans certainly need lessons
/ In the manner of il. The things YOU
/ DO simply make me gasp You shrek
your domestic woes. It's all in such
exectable taste to make a personal
advertisement OF a painful necessity
You know, am so curious to meet
some OF your women who have done
