@1HE other day was grieved to
see in the paper an item to the
effect that an old friend of mine
L who had been married about ~
years had just been granted a
divorce from her husband. The
grounds were incompatibility. The
divorce was uncontested. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY one Of those cases in which the
two parties have mutually agreed to
disagree and to ask the divorce courts
to let them do 1t.
As / read the news item, there
flashed into my mind a conversation
had with my friend about four years
after she was married. We were
speaking of another young woman who
had been married about the-same time
and had two babies, and of the fact
that my friend had no children. "Oh,
yes, I'm fond enough Of children" she
said, but you know Fred and l are
unusually devoted. and I don't want
any children because I'm, afraid they
will come between US and spoil our
comradeship."
That was eight years ago. Today
the other woman has a family of Ave
beautiful sons and daughters, very
happy home and a devoted husband.
While. the woman who didn't want
children to come between her and her
nor husband.
Yes, children often do come between
husband and wife, but nine times out
of ten they come between them as a
bond Infinitely more powerful and en-
during than mere vagrant desire.
thoroughly believe that 1t is well
il young coupleacan have a year or
two to get used to married life and
adjust themselves to each other before
they add to their responsibilities. But
the couple who think of marriage as a
pleasant companionship which babies
would spoil, are steering away from a
comparatively harmless Scylla to a
deadly Charybdis.
About once in so often have such
interesting letters from my letter
friends that I can't keep them to my
self. The following is one of these:

rather than matrimony and mother

PRESS COMMENT
The Party Of the Future.


Do you get the significance Of this
great nation wide Progressive confer
ence in Chicago?
Have you noticed that throughout
the country the defeated Progressives
have been the only fellows to do any
celebrating? Have you observed that
everywhere they are getting. together
to discuss plans?
The reason is that the Progressive
partp has a mission. That is what
gives it vitality. 1t is organized for Il
great purpose. ONce-holding is only
an incident.
in all these respects 1t stands in
contrast to the Republican party which
has lost its mission and seeks rehabil-
itation only to get the Jobs once more,
