Why These Husbands and Wives PARTED
James Montgomery Flagg, the famous
wit and artist, publishes in words anc
pictures a contribution entitled why
They Parted" He introduces the sub
ject with the following lines:
Someone whispers in your ear;
You know the Blinks of course
Well. Mrs. Blinks at last | hear,
/ Has gotten her divorced!
You think at once the cause is clear
Old Blinks was rough or naughty!
There might be other reasons, dear,
I've thought OF several forty!'.
Following are the verses that go UNI
der the different pictures:
He Was Kind TO Animals Too.
His heart was so soft as an elder
down quilt,
His wife at the washtub was bent
The thought of the aches in her back
made him wilt,
He could stand it no more--so he
went!
That Was ALL
She never did anything mean to annoy,
She had kindness and sweetness and
grace,
She had made good partner of sor-
row and joy
He simply got sick of her face!
He Used to Scare Her.
This couple were married July eight

He'd been hiding in whiskers till now.
He foolishly bought him razor for

Their love had grown deeper, their Joy
was no bluff,
They were happy and clipper and gay
Till she left off potatoes and starches
Yes, they parted one breezy March
day.

Would never have caused any talk,
But as he left home the plot thickens-
