different that she thinks she'll leave husband and try to find some
body who really does want a home, for to this particular girl the
man doesn't matter so much, it's the home that counts.
She wants to embroider guest towels, iron tablecloths and put
slips out to grow in a nice little pot that will be good on the table In
the dining room. She wants to air the cushions and the draperies
and the pillows, yes, she even likes to think about cleaning out the
ice box-and she's SO disappointed she's ready to die.

How on earth could they SO absolutely misunderstood each other
Why didn't he marry a gay little trot-about and why didn't she

with 1858 divorces in 1927, an in
crease Of 932 or 91.3 per tent over

for Reno were not given. but Washoe
county, in which it is located. was
shown to have granted 1903 OF the
total, a gain Of SAT or more than
leo per cent.
While no explanation was offered
for the divorce increase, the depart
ment called attention to a modifica-
tion Of Nevada's residence require
ment from six 20 three months.
Due largely to a change in Cali
fornia's marriage law requiring three
days notice to be given before the
issuance of a license, the report said,
95.3 per cen more couples were join
ed in wedlock in Nevada last year
than the year before. The total mar
riages were 239s, an increase of ITO.

as against SIS in 1925.
