"T see by -h' Papers" sez My Paw, at they's a Good deel of Diff. frunce of Opinyun goin' on about whether a man an his wife which has been Divorced should still be Good Trends yit or whether they ort to Waylay Wun another with Clubs or Pizen. While nobody aint asst me fer my Vues on this here Nitle Subieck tn Discushun seems to be Free an Open to all American Siti- zens of both Scots in Good standin.'
 "They's more'n wun kind of a Divorce soot. Some of 'em aint nothin' more'n a Little Frendly Ack- shun at law like Soot to Cleer Title: they is Brot to Correck a Mistake made by theirselfs aided by some Misguided Minister of tn Cos pie or Justice of tn Peece Tn Par ties to tn Soot knows better'n any body else at a Mistake has been made an how it ort to he Rectifide. They agree about this among their seIfs an mebbe that's tn First thing at they has Agreed about sence they Got back from tn Honeymune They tell their Lawyers what Judg- ment they has Reeched an tn law yers tells it to th'' Coart and tn Coart tells it back to tn Smilin Litigants Tn Husbun pays tn Costs an him an his late Wife meets out behint tn Courthouse an shakes hans an sez: We got off mighty Easy didn't we? They aint no Rec son now why they can't be Trends till Deth.
 But sometimes. tn Divorce. like VaXinashun don't take rite an when wun of tn Divorced Fokes wants to git Married agin tn other wun comes around an Makes a Holler about it an sez: Lissen here. You're agoin' to be Unfaithfle to tn Divorce De cree granted in SOllum COart. sposed we was Divorced jist so's at we could be Good Trends an Frend- ly Pals instid of bein' like Cats an Dogs tied together all tn Time. an Weery of each others Compny. I bleeve you had some Ulteryor Motif when you Agreed to git a Divorce. an meant to Throw me Down this away. If this here Intended Mar ridge which I've Heerd about is Pulled off. they's agoin' to he some Hommycide around here 4 man which can't reconsile hisself to his Wife's 2nd Marriage to a 3d Party aint no Troo Trend an Reel Spoart an has no Bizness with Divorce
 I've knode fokes which both of em got married agin an tn 2 Families visited each other Back an Forth but I always notised at tn End Husbun an tn 2nd Wife of tn Divorced Parties acted kind of Re served like at these here F'ambly Reunions. as if they was Rank Out siders while the late Husbun an Wife talked about Old Times. I've nOtised too at when tn Divorced Woman gifts married an her Late Husbun renamed Single. tn 2nd Illus bun was more Jelluser of him'n anybody Else.
 But. in my Time have Saw some Divorce Scots which seemed POstifly Onfrendly as if they was Reel Annymus behint tn proceedin's I've heard . Wife on tn Witness stand say at her Husbun was a Broot. an she sed it like she meant it. An she'd relate wun State of Fax while her Husbun'd tell another. leedin to tn Bleef at wun of -em was a Tyre an at they wasn't no Collushun between .em to Defect Justice an Fool tn Coart. In sich Cases tn Divorced Parties aint apt to git to be much Pals. When wun of 'em git married agin. tn othern seZ. 'Hetor she. as tn Case may bel is agoin' to Bite anuther Life I'm sorry fer tn Poor woman. Cor. tn Man. as tn Case may be aginD Sich Divorced Cupples aint never goin' to be Trends an they orient to Throw theirselfs into Each others Compny without bein' Armed an rcddy to Shoot First"
