from being the case. Divorce is no
picnic It IS a tragedy so full Of tears
and sorrows that it has made many a

Should Bear Much.
Therefore a mother will do well 10
stand almost anything from a disa-
greeable husband rather than make
her children half orphans. After all,
hard words break no bones, and the
woman has her reward VINO can feel
that she has offered herself up as a
sacrifice to those for whom she would
give her life, and does give her happi-
ness.
The woman who Is financially inde-
pendent may think of divorce as 4
refuge, but the woman who has no
money Of her own, and is an expert at
no lIaQG OF OCCupd LlOu DE winch she
can support herself finds that in leaV-
ing her husband she has thrown away
her bread and butter, and that even a
grouchy meal ticket is better than no
ticket at all.
Unless a man is very rich there IS
no such thing as collecting alimony
from him. He can evade paying it IN
a thousand ways When there are SO
many alert young girls looking for
work, no one wants to employ a middle

All Of these are things for the un- /
happy wife TO consider, and she may /
also well consider this further point 1

what he wants, and so. even when a 1
man is in the wrong, even when he is 1
and is as disagreeable
to live with as sore headed bear, 1t IS
0ftener than not the part Of wisdom
for a woman TO make the best Of her
lot instead OF trying to change it by
iiyorce.

Z GET innumerable letters from IN
happy wives. telling pathetic stories
Of their domestic woes, and asking
whether they shall get divorces from
the husbands who treat them so badly
ana with whom they are so miserable
ODDLY enough these letters seldom
complain OF the two causes-infidelity
and physical brutality-which are the
most commonly recognized reasons for
divorce in the eyes of the law. It is
not the great sins against them that
the women find it hard to forgive. It
IS the little sins Of meanness, and
stinginess, and neglect that break the
hearts OF wives and make their lives
desOlate.
Merely Tight Fisted.
me husband in these cases is seldom
a drunken beast or a gay Lothario. He
Is Just tight listed. gross grained,
grouchy and surly tempered, and he
nags and frets at his wife until he
drives her to desperation. Nothing
she does ever pleases him. He never
gives her a cent to spend for her own
pleasure He never takes her any
where, OF pays her a compliment, or
does a single thing TO show that he
has any spark Of affection for her
IS at home except to complain about
something or to growl over the month
y bills.
Gets on Her Nerves.
It is no wonder that such conduct
from a husband gets upon his wife's
nerves. that she rebels at such grinding
tyranny, and that she comes to the
place where she thinks longingly OF
divorce and believes that whatever
hardships the world may hold for her
without her home, they cannot be so
had as the purgatory she endures with
in it.
Personally I have no prejudice
against divorce think that there are
thousands Of cases in which the high
est good Of the individual and OF So
ciety are best served by a mismated
couple parting and going their diff
ferent ways 1 cannot see how morality
is enhanced by q man and a woman who
hate each other being forced to live to-
gether in a companionshiD that fosters
everything that is evil in them, but IL I
IS not for me, or another, to inter- /
NEEDLE in such a serious matter. The
question OF divorce is between q hus- !
sciences.
The Practical View.
Aside, however, from the ethical view 4
OF the question, there is the practical /
one. TO whose consideration I would /
direct the attention OF these women 4
who have been stung into a frenzy By 4
the gadflies OF their husbands little 4
meannesses, and that is that in getting /
a divorce a woman very often hops out
OF the frying pan into the fire.

PAVLOWA THE INEVITABLE THE INCOMPARABLE CHILD
 OF THE WIND AND THE SPRAY AND THE SETTING SUN'
By DOLLY DALRyMrLn

have never met a wood nymph or naiad. but I've seen Anna Pavlowa on the stage and "off.' and she is the nearest approach can imagine to any such crea- ture, child of earth or dreams.
 She has a personality like the wind among the pine trees. and the ''feel' of her is like moonlight on the shimmering waters.
 But that common humanity forbids, should right here indite the "sonnet'' that has been struggling for speech within my heart ever since I saw her dance the first time, wondrous. sexless. vibrant. eternal youth, as her nimble. graceful little toes cantered over the stage in exquisite ca- dence Describe her?
 couldn't; yet a poet has done so when he said:
 '3etwixt the zephrys of the golden noon I've seen the foam-frail cherry blossoms

 The subtle wonder of sea-gulrs lift. And whirling outposts of the swift ty-
 phoon.
 Or. tossed to rhythms of the oceans The spotted spray wreaths from the sea.

 All in thy dance, the ebb and Aux and
 drift
 Of allithe captive tides beneath the moon. The mystic measures of the swinging
 seas,
 The pulse of the moving heavens power Are thine inheritance and thy dower o incarnate Soul of the chargeful Breeze. Child of the winds immortal ecstasies! Anna Pavlowa hasn't beauty in the "calendar'' or front cover' sense of the word, as I discovered when we sat face to face yesterday and chatted.
 She makes the most wonderful stage picture" of beauty. however, that I've ever seen.
 She is like f1ref1y. a thing of light and laughter, and lit.
 She is like a mote of sunshine that one may throw with a mirror as children do, that fickers and fits, and plays upon the walls, and then trembles and dies again. She hustles your heart away from you whether you will or not, with her coaxing and flirting and pirouetting and racing and prancing. and swishing and swirling with her little feet like jingle bells on the end of a slender thread. She is leaping and smiling and motion ing: she is laughter and light, and-your heart is zone!
 
 What 1t is that is different about her you can scarcely tell, you get 1t through . sixth sense"--or perhaps a chord of all the senses.
 It fs fndefnable. yet persuasive.
 She is so slight that I had a feeling all most of pain, that If she were not ap- preached gently and tenderly, she would break and blow away like sea foam.
 Her hair Is black and her skin is { white-white. white almost to paleness- and was almost positive that in a strong light would be enabled to see right through her!
 And her wonderful little hands and arms! They are expression itself!
 I guess I'd better stop trying to describe her, though, or shall find my self falling into rhapsody. but before I do just want to quote what was once written of her by an artist:
 She is neither of heaven or of earth; she is the soul of the wind and the spray of the setting sun, clothed with flesh and blood and we call her-Pav- Iowa.
