Necessary Divorce.
BY RUTH CAMERON


Someone wants to know if 1 believe
in divorce.
That's a. very big, many angled ques-
ton and one of the subjects on which
am waiting for my opinions to crys-
tallize.
But I'll take this opportunity to tell
you that there is certain kind of d1-
vorce which I consider not only per-
Missile but desirable.
Indeed 1 think the need of it should
be taught in the public schools. 1
think mothers should instill it's advis-
ability into their children's minds and
husbands and wives keep each other
reminded of the need of it.
The kind of a divorce to which re-
fer is the dissolution of the tie between
married words.
OF course you know what L mean
by married words-the kind of words
that seem to be indiSsolubly associated
in our language, words which custom
has Joined together and common sense
fails to put aSunder.
We find them in newspaper para
graphs, we find them in almost every
story, we find our friends using them,
and still nearer home, we find our
selves perpetratirg them.

words which appear in my own col

because I think it will BE an excellent
thing for me. Our own mistakes are
hardest to find and misuse of words is
no exception to this rule.

out quoted phrases is another tie that
would be more honored in the disSOlu-

Repplier describes as endowed with

knocking words than by any of his Sc
rious thoughts.
Anything in language which is fixed
and which makes it possible for us to
use merely our mouths instead of our
minds in expressing ourselves is bad.
That is one of the objections to slang,
that it substitutes ready-made phrases
for individual mind made thoughts
and expressions.

has been found by investigation and

the eyes In order to guard against
these injuries, protective glasses
should be worn. Blue or smoked
glasses are not suitable for this pur-

years attempts have been made to dis

fulfill these two requirements; pro-
