Why Marriages Fail

Charles G. Norris has made a real
istic study Of marriage in his latest
novel, Brass" (E. p. Dutton & Coz
The scene is laid in California. The
marriages with which he deals are those
If the members of the family Of GER
tain Judge Baldwin, who, when the
story opens, is living on n fruit ranch.
In the Judges own marriage and in the
marriage of his two sons and his daugh-
ter and the sister in law of one of his
sons he finds tyres of the various mari
tai complications. The Judge had had
an HffGir with Spanish woman before
his marriage and had three children by
her. He continued the relation after
marriage and thought his wife knew
nothing about It. But she knew. His
elder son married pretty girl from San
Francisco, but the marriage was 4 fail
ure partly because of the mother in
law and partly because the girl had no
proper comprehension Of what marriage
meant. The daughters marriage was
n failure because she was one of those
peculiar women to whom certain of the
marital relations are repugnant. The
elder son after his divorce found hap
pincss for while with woman to
whom he was not married. Then lie
married woman ten years older than
he with whom he thought he was in
love. She married him because she
thought he was rich and when he lost
his money she had no further use for
lin. The sister after her husband ran
away with the wife of another man
married n man almost old enough to be
her grandfather and did it because he
was rich and later found his helpless
old age burden. The only happy mar
riage is that Of the younger son, who
stayed in the country and married the
daughter of neighbor. When she
was congratulated by her husband S
brother on her happy home, she said
that it was not always so comfortable
ms he found it, but she explained that
they had succeeded because they both
tried Lard to make home. If there
~ any moral in the book this is it that
there can he no success in marriage
unless both parties TO it are agreed that
Its purpose is to make q home and work
together to that end. Placing social
success or career or anything else
above home making leads TO disaster.
Mr.. Norris has handled his subject
with the skill OF an anatomical dissec-
tor. He exhibits with relentless real.
ism the working out of the various mar-
riage theories and let's them carry their
own moral. There Is no preaching, but
there is cross section of life as it Is
lived, not only in California, but in all
other parts of the United States. There
IS NO more plot to it than there is 70
Ufe itself. Things happen. that is all,
and wheE the author has written 40
pages of closely printed type he stops,
not because there is nothing more to
say. but because he had made as big n
book as the publishers would print. Yet
from the data he has assembled II is
easy for the reader to tell for himself
what will happen in the lives Of the
characters whose stories are uncom-
plcted in the book.

makes a plea for the restoration OF the
manners and the morals of the. Vic-

that period, he insists that there was

been dulled by the acceptance OF tne
Dnrwinian theory Of evolution. ms
theory, according to his point OF view,
has led to the belief Tint men ana
women may do what they please without
