Week in, week out, an ever in
creasing bevy of men wend their
way dejectedly up 18th street 20
the divorce court.
Women, too, of course, but
we're talking now only about
men.
Nine out of ten will make the
same plea-desertion.
Wife-hubby never did under
stand her-has gone away With
another man. Or she has return
ed to the old folks. Or she has
just picked up and left for rea-
sons unaccountable.
The question arises: What is
por man going to do about it?
The time has arrived when
woman has taken the bit in her
teeth and demanded more of her
mans attention. She refuses to
be stood in the corner the day
after the wedding and forgotten.
