The peoples artists will play a
great role in illuminating and making
more bearable the workers path of
struggle that leads to this goal. We
have a right to expect that our
friends of the New Playwrights' Thea
tire will travel in this direction, and
that genuine labor plays, graphing
competently with the problems of the
machine age, will follow those de-
voted merely to social criticism and
negative conclusions. The workers can
and should help this transition by
loyal and brotherly support of the
young playwrights as well as by open
and straightforward criticism.

From the time that small Billy

Billy had looked UP at his

the rubbers over his shoes.
More and more often as he
grew older he saw that hopelessly

Miss Fairfax On
the Divorce
Problem
By Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems Of Love
and Marriage

AN Authority OH GIUUtCtnS VI A~O'
and Marriage
my correspondent who signs
W1 her letter, Worried" is in
deed. going through worrisome
experience-one which is shared
by too many mouern girls.
Her letter tells the story:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il recently met young man
few years my senior. | went out
with hffn once ano found him
perfect gentleman. | also tounu
out later that he is married, but
he is not living with his wire.
He is thinking strongly OF get
ting a. divorce.
DO you think l should go out
with him any more before ne
gets the divorce? Do you think
there would be any chance of my
name being ruined If my friends
found out / was going with a
man who had been married? l
WiIl appreciate any info; nation
you give :
The experience of Worried pre-
eents a serious modern problem,
now that divorces are becoming
so common A girl-let us call
her .Alice-meets a young man in
the course of social life and they
become interested in each other.
They go about together, their
names may become coupled as
sweethearts. Then Alice learns
that her friend or beau is
married.
He is living apart from his wife,
let us say, but is not divorced.
He has deliberately placed Alice
in dangerous and indiscreet pre-
Cicament--indiscree because she
has subjected herself to hostile
criticism by going about with a
married man; dangerous because
she may have innocently made
herself party to a divorce scan
dal.
Alice, being but human, may
have also lost her heart to man
who cannot marry her. The situa.
tion is unjust and unfair to her
from every point of view.
Worried, whose letter have.
Just printed. has not, 1t would
seem, lost her heart. But she re-
allies that she may lose her repu-
taton If her friends discover that
she Is accepting the attentions of
q married man.
Your query, Worried, seems
based upon the report that your
friend is thinking strongly of
getting a divorce. But remem-
ber. he has not yet secured the di-
vorce Will it not be safer to base
your conduct upon actual facts
rather than vague possibilities
There's a great difference between
procuring a divorce and think
ing strongly about it. Many a
man who has considered his di-
vorce a foregone conclusion has
found on consulting lawyer that
he had no grounds or that at best,
divorce would mean a long wait
possibly of years. to comply with
legal requirements.
Your letter shows that you are
the kind of girl who does not
think it right or proper to go
ebout with married man. Does
1t not seem a little singular that
you should have found out" that
he has a wife? Would not IN
of honor have frankly disclosed
the fact from the first--at least
before offering you any atten-
tions or seeking to win your in
terest, friendship and affection?
