Freedom, in Marriage
Makes for Happiness?

In the face of alarming increases in
the divorce statistics the American
people are rapidly solving the prob
lem Of how to be happy though mar

ton, the Hoosier author and philoso-
pher. This developing solution of the
marriage problem, Mr. Harrington
thinks, may prove to be Americas
greatest contribution to modern life.
1--WE can obtain statistics upon di.
vorce, and probably could compile fig,
ures estimating the number Of sui
cides due to marriage" says Mr.. Tark-
ington in the American Magazine, but
it is more difficult to set forth the true
proportion Of really happy marriages.
"We only know that, no matter how
crazy the contract, most American
husbands and wives do get along with
each other, not always happily, but
with more or less harmony, more or
less conflict and a great deal of the
deepest devotion.
Freedom is the great essential ele-
ment in a happy marriage. Without 1t
marriage Is bondage.
"a woman neighbor, shaking her
head ominously, said of my friend
Sans wife: She let's her husband go
