No Happiness With Women

Chicago Judge Says More Husbands

 Chicago, March 1.-The woman who sulks instead of the woman who talks is the greatest matrimonial menace, according to Judge Sabath, divorce chancellor of the Superior Court here. Fifty per cent of the men who come to my court seeking divorce have had their chances for matrimonial happiness wrecked by wives who wouldn't talk. The most dangerous kind of helpmate is the woman who sulks."
 q have found" he continued, "that the majority of divorces are not the result of the petty meanness in folks --the trivial peeves of everyday live ing.
 When wives file suit alleging that their husbands are cruel, it's a 50 to l chance that they don't mean that they have been kicked or slapped or physi- cally mistreated. The cruelty re- ferred to is usually one of mental character. It is even more true of di- vorce-seeking husbands.

 When man says, Dear did you have good time at the movies this afternoon 2 and the wife answers by tilting her chin in the air and calmly ignores the fact that her husband has addressed her, there's going to be trouble.
 You see.v the jurist explained "a man is vain. He thinks every state ment he makes should be carefully heeded. When the wife attempts to chastise him by refusing to talk. his pride is hurt. Frequently he tries the same plan. Then it is not very long until the home is as quiet as tomb and the air is charged with divorce electricity"

tContinued from Page Onel the signal for great social celebra- tion. Buchanan was bachelor.
 Lincoln Carefully Guarded.
 Abraham Lincoln's inauguration was in the midst of an armed camp. Attempts on his life were predicted. kiiiemen were on every roof along the iane of march, cavalry squad guard ed l.incoln and troops were stationed at the capitol ready to check a riot. iancoln took he oath of office in clut- Ter of masonry, for the capitol was then being remodelled and the famous dome under construction. President Lincoln failed te attend the inaugural ball much to he disappointment of Washington society.
 Grants Pompous Parade.
 The height of ponnp and ceremony was attained when U. $. Grant became president. Troops from every section of the country formed a great parade and the town took on the aspect of a carnival 4 great inaugural ball fol lowed m the evening and for days celebrated. It was anything but a dry celebration, according to histor- ians.
 Grant appears to have set the stan dard, for from his inauguration on down, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleve- land, Harrison Mckinley Roosevelt. Taft and Wilson have ali participated ia pompous processions as they took office.
 There have been more simple inaur- arais than this today, for Theodore Roosevelt was quietly sworn in at a private residence after the death of William Mckinley. There have been far more elaborate inaugurals than this today. But President Harding seems to have reached a happy med. lum, dignified and solemn. impressive and interesting. yet lacking utterly in the carnival spirit, the inaugural to- day marks the progress of the nation
