ME great unhappiness.
Mrs. osborne evidently recognizes
the fact that even the sorrows of
love seem inestimably desirable to
unmarried ladies,
"Dearie." she said. beaming ex-
pansively, II can see you marrying
one of these three men, and being
forever after loved by the other two.
Better be ware of their revenge.
This was a message to delight the
soul Of any spinster, and to encour-
age her to hang around Chesterfield.

Another fairly safe shot when a
woman in her middle twenties or her
thirties can proudly boast no plain
band ring, is that she has either suf-
fered some blighted love affair, or is
firmly convinced that she has.
It was therefore with startling as
surance and even with triumph that
Mrs. Schulz, Mrs. osborne, Miss S.

for my tragic first love.

ances that he was not worthy of me,

superior that I would thank my

Mrs. Schulz even presented the
spirit Of my grandmother, who, In
cidentally is hale and hearty on this
earth, to tel, me that 1t was she who
wrecked my first romance. because
she thought it was not good for me.
My grandmothes also assured me

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-If you want
a divorce you should be able to get
it for the asking, believes Clarence
barrow.
Mere desire for a decree should
be sufficient ground for divorce, +"
said the famous criminal lawyer"
in a talk here on marriage and d.
vorces.
THE law should allow more
grounds for divorce. Incompaubllity
is too hard to define AMI harder still
to prove in court, but 1t is the great
est cause Of unhappiness in all mar
ried life. No court can pry into life
and see the intimate causes Of in
felicity. But any Of these causes
should be cause for divorce.
Marriage Not a Failure
barrow insists that marriage is
not a failure. and says that free
love is no love at all" 1t is merely
animal lust, he holds, and he heart
lily opposes the new Volonor theory,
which he terms hopelessly imprac-
ticable.
The Volonor theory-the idea of
Glenn B. Winship, sociologist-is
that Of a colony created IN the South

woman only-and go through no

dissatisfaction between couples, they
can separate and look for other
mates.
Divorce Means Unhappiness
Abolish marriage and you abolish
the home-the foundation upon
which civilization was built" con-
tinued barrow.
But divorce eliminates unhappy
marriages. 1t means the survival OF
the fittest. Thousands of divorces
yearly prove that there are thou
sands Of unhappy marriages. But
we all know that divorces represent
only a small per cent Of unhappy
marriages. Beauty and sex appeal
have led innumerable persons to
marriages to folly. The handsome
bridegroom may turn out to be a
rascal. The Madonna-faced bride
may prove a nagging scold. Love
grows cold and the dream changes to
q nightmare.
why should these unfortunates
be chained together? After they
have aimed at happiness and missed
it, they have committed no crime
and deserve no punishment. They
have erred and are entitled to
another chance. The error of a
moment should not be allowed to
develop into a lifetime Of tragedy.
Law is not based upon the theory of
making people unhappy.
Our divorce laws should take
this into consideration"
