ANNA HELD SAYS
 ONE SHOULD MARRY
Couples Ought Not to be Separated For Any Length of Time-Jealously the Cause of All Trouble-Happiest Mar riages Among the Poor
(New York World.)

'fNow, please" began Miss Held, with 9 small point of protest, please do not ask me to talk about my di- vorce. Because Mr. Ziegfeld and are such very good friends, and it is only little matter quite between ourselves
 "Of course" I assented, with the nonchalance evidently demanded of me. "No one takes divorce seriously nowadays. But I called to extract your views on marriage, Miss Held"
 The petite lady dropped gracefully into a pale-green sofa, which harmon ized perfectly with the tailored crea- tfons of cafe au lait and Alice blue, which she was wearing. For the moment, the misbehaving brown eyes were pensive and pondering. I had time to notice that apparently age cannot wither Miss Held, nor domestic difficulties worry her. She is fair and smooth and round and delicately tinted as ever.
 But now she smiled, and spoke in the caressing voice, with the delicate for eign intonation which her admirers know so we'll. What perhaps they do not know is that Miss Held's mental processes have that Gallic lucidity and freedom from cant which never .ceas- es to alarm the Anglo-Saxon senti- mentalist
 For said she: Marriage is some- times very nice indeed. But that is where there is an agreement in in terests and aims between the husband and wife. Sometimes this agreement does not exist. Sometimes each looks forward and plans quite different fu- ture from that desired by the other. Then they ought not any longer to be husband and wife. When they are separate in fact, why should they not be separate in name?"
 I was too pleased to interrupt and she continued: "I cannot understand these society people who will not get a divorce because of the scandal. Scandal, what is that? Pouf! And also they forget-if a man and wom- an are unhappy together. they cannot conceal it. The world will see. the world will talk-the divorce will not make more talk.
 ITO me it seems so much better, so much more dignified, than the con- tinual quarrels and fights. If a hus- band and wife cannot be happy with each other, they ought to separate. Then, perhaps, each may find some happy. Or if agreement with any one is impossible because of the tenn perament, then there can be the liv- ing apart. Oh. I think it is wicked for marriage to be chain!"
 q quite agree with you, Miss
 
 away with marrying altogether, would you?'
 The pretty head shook in vehement denial. ''No, indeedi" she exclaimed, "I believe always in the marriage for love. If from the beginning there is love between the husband and wife, the other things, money, a home, a position in the world, can be gained somehow. Of course. by love mean the affection that includes congenial- ity No marriage is happy where the husband and wife cannot be chums, comrades, friends. That means they must like the same sort of people, be interested in the same sort of things. It is very sad when there is noth- irs the husband and wife can discuss together.
 ''That is one reason why I do not believe in marrying out of ones class. There may be a very strong tempOr- ary attraction between a rich girl and poor young man, but it will not last. They will tire of each other because they have been brought up differently. They will quarrel be- cause they have almost no points in common, and because they disagree in so many ways.
 "Happiness is more probable when
