all be solved in way that will
please everyone, at the Broadway

By Winona Wilcox

There are no longer any obliga-
tions in marriage, if we accept the
verdict of our most popular novel;
lists dramatists and writers of lib
rettos for musical comedies.
These opponents of modern
philosophy assume that an indi-
vidual has duties to himself alone,
and some quite moral people are
ready to accept his opinion.
Duty being discarded as a COM
polling motive of conduct, any
triangular love affair, involving
two or more married persons, is
easily settled on basis of profit
and loss.
In certain intellectual strata it
is unthinkable that three parties
to love triangle should keep
