LITERARY FOLKS
NO EXCEPTION
MARRYING AND DTNORClNG THE
SAME WITH THEM AS
OTHERS.
BY JACK LONDON,

GLEN ELLEN. CAL, Oct, III
have not noticed that literary folks
are divorced any more frequently or
any less frequently than any other
folks who enjoy incomes sufficient to
pay for divorces. Marital unhappi
ness is common TO all economic
classes; divorce is often too expensive
for the poorer classes. so they grin
and bear and continue TO live on in
mutual hell because Of the simple eco
monte reason that one blanket costs
less than two blankets.
The full connotat!on of the fore
going is obvious. John Smith and
Timothy Jones. merchants In Oshkosh
and Petaluma, can afford divorces ana
get them Just as frequently as do lit
erary men and women and multi mill
honaire men and women The DIFF
ference lis mostly Of news exploita
ton The public doesn't care a red
cent about the marital troubles and di-
Vorces of the John Smiths and Tim
othy Joneses. so the newspa pers pass
them by. But the literary folks and
the multi millionaire folks get adver-
tised. That is all there is to il. You
KNOW II. ] know il. We know it.
Domestic life with literary folks is
Just about as easy and as difficult as
1t Is for all other kinds of folks.
Writers should not marry a mfnute
earlier nor second later than any
other class of marriageatte humans
should marry.
