IL seems 20 me. also. as ona writer
stated. that he could not believe
what he wrote. but just wanted 70
start something"
Tonight I read the letter written
by The lady who approves OF Uncle
Toms" theory for freedom from d.
vorce
When woman has 10 face the
grievances that she mentions. I think
u Is high time to separate for good.
instead OF seeing a man who Is sup.
posed TO he a husband on invitation.
Then comes the question that =
couple cannot always separate so
easily. II seems 10 me that a woman
ought 10 be able to IND such faults
before she Ia married. II not. before
she has children.
Yes. just think Of meeting and
having to look across the table at a
man ss5 days in the year. My idea
OF happiness includes such things AZ
that in It's making wonder what
this generation thinks marriage IL
for and n they realize how sacred u
truly is7
"Uncic Tom" does no, want 20 get
married very badly II that Is his
idea Of happy marriage. His idra
carried out would BE- the nr>t thing
that would encouux. me TO xet a
divorce. II seems TO the that some
wives and husbands have enough
trouble keeping track OF each other
when they live together. My belief
Is that II couple cannot 1--we 10.
gether happily. they should live
apart forever and not sec each other
even by Invitation.
INTERESTED.
Dear Miss Grey: Having rad the
article written by Uncle Tom" and
thinking II over. have come to the
conclusion that really ] believe his
idea - all right. Anyone who would
stop 70 think ought 10 know that
familiarity breeds contempt
know some married couples that
Just live together. some on account
OF the children. others. because they
hate to own up TO not getting along
together and some women are too
spinelc-s and lazy 10 get out and
earn their living any other way.
believe. too. like ncls Tom. that
thru absence they you'd hava morr
love and regard for each other and !
believe | would sooner take chance
on getting married that way than
the old way. Yes. I believe Uncle
Tom Is nearer TO the solution OF the
divorce question than any ! have
read OF yet. X Y Il.
Dear Miss Grey; The perpetual
courtship plan would b. the very
ideal life for individuals who love
mentally. The material side in lie
doesn't worry them as long as their
heart IL happy In the knowledge that
the object OF their love returns II by
the same measure.
They are true and honest them
selves. therefore they trust others.
and jealousy has no room In such
hearts as they live. enjoy and SUI.
fer mentally. being more OF mental
than physical
The majority Of people are more
OF the physical and In order n be
happy they have to have all Of their
earthly possessions close by. or un.
der the thumb. ms much OF the time
as possible. And TO such people. a
husband or 0 wife Is. 10 a certain
extent. material possession. There.
fore they are never sure OF each
other when out OF sight 4s.
Dear Miss Grey: I. too. am anx
ious 10 answer Uncle Toms" letter
Here is what I suggest:
Any boy or girl marrying outside
Of their own nationality should be
forbidden a divorce. Most OF our d.
vorces come from intermarriages
Grant the ones who find that they
have made a mistake a separation
but forbid them TO marry again, al
least. until one or the other dies.
