Grounds for Diuorce

VIENNA. April 23-Short skirts
are not grounds for divorce in Aus
tria and court here has refused 10
separate Max Ritter from his wife
on this charge which the husband
made in his petition. The court ruled
that the fashion of the day was n
short skirt and any woman could
wear a short skirt without suggest
ing immortality.
Ritter claimed that his official
position as government head clerk
demanded that he and his family
set good example for the other
people and that his wife had caused
a sensation, painful to him, when
she appeared in summer resort in
a short skirt. The court admitted a
sensation might be caused by a short
skirt but that was what modern
women sought to do by wearing
fashionable clothes.

That perhaps explains why the
first child usually gets more
spankings than any of the other
little brothers or sisters who
come later.
In spite Of modern views on the
subject OF punishment, children
continue to receive the slaps and
spanks that obstreperous young
ones bring upon themselves from
irate parents.
This form Of punishment is
often the outlet for the parents
own ill-humor. To slap a child
just because you are the biggest
and he can't help himself does the
child harm. 1t fills him with re-
sentiment and often with rebellion.
The first general rule is never
to administer punishment in
anger. We can not trust our
selves to correct another while we
are enraged. An angry man is

needed an outlet for her venom.
So little Marylu got spanked.
Now Mrs. Duke is no monster
of cruelty. She is just an every
day young woman with many
good qualities and some bad
ones.
1t has been my observation that
after the first child Is born, it
brings to the surface all the
mean hateful traits that are
buried deep in woman nature.
And mothers of one young child
are, as a rule, more contentious,
more irritable and more complain
ing than they ever were before
or ever will be again.
When the second baby comes,
it seems to clear away the ugli-
ness in her makeup. A new
sweetness creeps into the heart,

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Reeckman.
A Formal Wedding

hEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
~ For a wedding to take
place in church at $50 o'clock,
what is the proper attire, in
GLIDING ties and shoes, for the
best man, groom, brides father
and the ushers?
2. When there is to be a flower
girl, where does she walk in the
professional and occasional?
3. Should the best man walk
with the bridesmaid going out
of the church? ANXIOUS.
Formal afternoon attire-cuta-
way coat and dark stripped
trousers, patent leather shoes.
The most formal tie is. the Ascot,
of a black and white or a gray
and white combination. The
four-in-hand, Of a black or dark
blue or gray background, and
with small figure or strips Is
also correct. The bow tie, too, is
correct with a cutaway and il
oftener more becoming with this
attire than with any other. The
bow tie is often polka-dotted, or
may be Of a gray combination.
2. In the professional, the flower
girl usually walks just before the
bride, and a. II the maid of honor.
But she may, if the bride prefers,
walk first in the professional. In
the occasional, she walks either
before the bride and groom, If she
il to strew rose petals in their
path, or after the bride and
groom. UsuallJ the latter position
is chosen for her.
3. No! Not in the well planned,
cosmopolitan wedding nowadays.
The bride and groom are given
the advantage of all the spotlight,
and they are the only couple in
the occasional. If they are fol-
Lowell by another couple, and then
by more couples, bridesmaids and
ushers together, the emphasis is
taken from them. And especially
is this true when there is only
one bridal attendant, for then If
the maid Of honor walks with the
best man, 1t gives the appearance
of a double wedding.
