BALTIMORE, April 10.-A so-called
declaration Of reformation" was in
troduced yesterday in the trial before
Judge Gorter in the circuit court Of
the cross-divorce suits of Mrs. Elsa
NJ. Wygodsky and her husband, Leon
Wygodsky. The declaration" was
produced by Mrs. WygodslSy, who
said that 1t was drawn by her hus-
band after one Of their disagreements.
Mrs. Wygodsky undertook to read
the paper, which was in her hus-
bands handwriting. She could not
make IL all out, so Wygodsky was
called upon to decipher it. It was not
explained whether Wygodsky's orig
inal ideas were embodied in the
fourteen points" of marital conduct,
or whether he got it from the maga-
zine section Of some newspaper.
Tolerance the Keynote.
The declaration" reads:
Principle is a set of rules which
guide q person in his actions and
which rules he is supposed to fol-
low no matter what is the COM
pulsion or temptation to act 9TH
erwise.
If one party is irritable, the
other party should be tolerable.
Each party should listen to the
other party's explanations, when
ever such is given or demanded,
without interruption.
No party should monopolize the
whole conversation.
ALI methods tending to inflU-
ence each other should be Of q
most affectionate nature.
Any question asked by either
party should be answered to the
best Of ability and in the most
respectful manner.
Any request made by either
party should be respected.
No matter what happens, treat
each other respectful and by no
means call each other names,
even. in thought.
Cause Of Friction.
The principal cause OF. friction
in married life is misunderstand-
ing. n case such arises. neither
party should take offense until
they have interrogated the other
party of the meaning of the
words or actions and given the
other party a chance to explain.
Such explanation should be de-
manded and taken in proper
spirit, for whichever purpose she
chooses, and should ask without
being afraid to do so.
There should be no secrets be-
tween husband and wife
Marriage between US Is some
thing absolutely sacred, and this
sacredness must never be doubted
or imperiled. no matter what
happens-sickness, poverty, or
other misfortunes. No matter
what happens we are bound to
each other forever.
We must be devoted to each
other and look for each others
comfort, even in little things.
We must-keep in mind that the
most important object in our lives
is to make each other happy.
The wife is entitled to pocket
or pin money. which should be
given regularly and willingly,
and she should be entitled also to
remind her husband whenever
such money is due, and also in
case she needs more money.
