along, ana apparently everyone was having
delightful time-everyone but Mr.. Traitel
Without warning, he rose and abruptly left
the table, leaving the restaurant.
In an hour he returned, inspired, Mrs.
Traitel says, by something that is sold in
bottles. At any rate, he moved solemnly
across the floor with his silk hat over one
ear and an imaginary dotted line travel
ling from his eye to his wife's lips.
Ignoring the walters who attempted to
intercept his progress, he marched straight
over to the table and came to a halt at
his wife's chair. He looked at her long
and earnestly.
Mrs. Traitel knew that look, and ner.
vously wiped her lips with her napkin. She
certainly did not want another scene, and
she thought that II she removed the rouge
he would SIT down and behave himself
The other guests thought her husband
was having a little lark and were prepar-
ing to be politely amused when, without
warning, his left hand shot forward and
curled around the back of Mrs. Traiters
neck.
Roughly, she says, he jerked her to her
feet and before all Of the startled diners
in the fashionable restaurant, reached out
with the other hand and seized her by the
nose!
Mrs. Traitel cried out at this treatment
but she says her husband only took ma.
licious delight IN tweaking the injured
feature. The men guests at the party rose
to protest, although they still believed II
was prank, but Mr.. Traitel, she declares,

very unusual cause He kissed her
in public!
This reason for legal separation may
seem startling to great number OF mar.
ried people. They may reason that kiss
is perfectly proper and very agreeable
when bestowed by husband to a wife at
any time and in public or otherwise Many
will say that the more publicly the kiss Is
bestowed the better, since II shows that
the husband is wildly in love with his wife
and doesn't care who knows IT,
The gossip such conduct should create
should be OF the most pleasant kind. dis
posing of all rumors OF any misunder-
standing between the two. and causing
other wives to wish their husbands we're
onehalf as attentive
But the young and pretty Mrs. Traitel
says 1t all depends on the circumstances
surrounding the kiss A kiss, she says. can
be the most despicable insult in the world
Like everything else. it depends on the in
tentions of whoever bestows it-and how
he does 1t. No" one would say there was
anything affectionate or tender about the
kiss of Judas. for instance. And she says
that her husbands caress was just as
wicked and cruel and given with the same
purpose in mind-to betray her!
II was last September. They were at
tending formal dinner at the home OF one
OF her friends. A theatre party was to
follow.
Naturally. Mrs. Traitel had made an elab.
crate toilette and she looked stunning, she

takingly curled. Her gown was perfect
The natural redness of her lips had been
accumulated Just triie with a dab Of the
LID stick. She was the most perfectly
groomed woman at the party, and she knew
II. Moreover, she wanted her husband to
know II and looked at him from time 10
time during the dinner in the hope that his
appreciation would be apparent In look.
Just one approving glance would have re.
paid her for those hours spent at the dress
ing table, and she was confident that when
her husband compared her to the other
women who were present he would show
some OF the pride he should have felt at
the impression she was making on the rest
OF the guests.
But as the dinner Jagged along Mr.. Trai-
tel surveyed his wife with deep gloom that

everyone looked at poor Mrs Traitel, who
was white with embarrassment. and rage at
this insult. 1t was a situation commanding
a great deal Of poise, but she carried It off
by forcing a smile and suggesting that It
was nearly time to 90 to the theatre. All
during the show and during the extracts
she tried to pretend that Mr. Traitel was
just bit eccentric and that It was all a
joke, but when she finally got home she
nearly suffered nervous collapse. And II
was many day before she had the courage
to accept another dinner invitation.
Afterward Mrs. Traitel remembered the
cocktails and tried to forgive her husband
but as for giving up cosmetics Just be-
cause of his silly prejudices, that was an.
other matter.
Everyone knows that rouge always has
been, and probably always will be, adopted
by many as an acceptable aid to a woman's
appearance. Besides, Mrs Traitel did not
use 1t because II gave her any particular
pleasure. Certainly not.
In her opinion she was a little more at.

restaurant with a clamp-like grip ON her
nose!
Outside, she says, he pushed her into
their car and ordered the chauffeur to
drive back to New York, repeating his
cruel treatment all Of the way home.
When she reached home and locked her
self in her bedroom, Mrs. Traitel surren.
dered herself to grief and tears. The bitter
memory Of her earlier humiliation-the
time he rubbed the rouge from her lips
returned, and made the second insult one
too many.
But, curiously, II was the first incident
that she resented the most. Pulling her
nose had been cruel and painful, but pub
licly wiping of her rouge had been more
Injurious to her feelings. The more she
thought about 1t the angrier she became,
and she regretted bitterly that she had not
eliminated him from her life at the time.
But It was not too late. she told herself.
and as soon as she could get her things
together she went to see her father, N. e.
Franklin. the wealthy president of the Kny.
Sheerer Company, and asked his advice.
Both agreed that divorce was the only
thing, especially as Mr.. Traitel's objections
to rouge were supplemented by other al
legged cruelties and absences away from
home. And so the next day Mrs. Traitel
went down to the Woolworth Building to
see H. Randolph Guggenheimer, her fathers
attorney.
But Lawyer Guggenheimer told her that,
unhappy as everything had been, she could
not obtain divorce because of the New
York statutes. which recognize only one
reason for divorce. So separation proceed
ings were started and won Mrs. Traitel
obtained counsel fees and alimony.
Mr.. Traitel, in his appeal to a higher
court, denies generally that he ever pulled
his wife's nose or was mean to her in any
way He disposes Of the rouge incident

cepted the invitation to go

a little more rouge than
she usually used when the
night Of the party came.
And Mr.. Traitel, without
saying anything, seemed to
think that the extra dab of
the lip stick was done de-
Hberately for the purpose
OF flouting him before her
friends.
This thought grew and

was ten times as mad as
he had been at the dinner.

Of which we have heard is a new filming

present them for immediate payment
to hilarious citizens who break the
peace by singing or playing on mu-

allow the citizens of this old city to
get some much needed rest. This sys-

The Oregon grange is presumably
sincere in it's effort to cut down the
tax bill, but it is using toy hatchet
instead of a broad axe. If it wants
to get anywhere it will have to attack
the local taxation which constitutes
the really material burden. AS The
Oregonian sets forth, "if the legisla-
ture failed to organize, or because of
some other event all customary bien-
nial appropriations should fail, the
reduction in annual taxes would be
about seven percent. On an aver.
age, in other words, the property
owner who now pays in taxes year
would have his bill reduced to $685."
And if the grange should succeed in
its plan to repeal the higher educa-
tionai ;;is7giilllaae .e TAX, it would cripple
and perhaps kill the states institu-
tions of learning without saving
to the average male taxpayer to ap-
preciably increase his tobacco money.

THE LEGION DRIVE

Veterans of the American Legion are
conducting membership drive.
1t is worthy endeavor, says the
Oregon Journal. They helped make
big history. They served and sacri-
feed for ideals that ought to be pre-
served. There is no surer way to pre-
serve them than through such an or
ganization as the American Legion.
This is reason enough for the mem
bership drive. But there are other
reasons. Policy, not politics, is le-
gion slogan. 1t conveys thought of
true citizenship. A higher and higher
civic standard is the formula that will
lift America higher and higher in civic
righteousness, economic equality and
social justice. These are the things to
make this nation worthy of the suffer-
ings and sorrows that service men ell
dured in the great war. These ideals
can be greatly forwarded through such
an organization as the legion.
The comradeship of those dreadful
days is worth preserving. AS time
mellows the recollection of the horrors
of 1917-18, and as years lengthen into
decades, that comradeship, preserved
through the legion organization, will be
priceless privilege to those once in
the European camps and campaigns.
The veterans organization should be
sustained and preserved, for it is a
great social university.
