An Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage

An Authority on Problems OF
Love and Marriage
Why do men prefer to go TO
Jail rather than pay alimony
one wonders sometimes. Then
you get the inside story of a
few cases, and your wonder
ceases.
If there are minor children
to be taken care of, or an in
valid wife incapable of support,
one hopes the judge will see
that a man who is able will
pay his alimony to the last
penny. But when a woman, is
young, able-bodied and as capa-
BILE of earning money as her
ex-husband, I've got. to be
shown why the alimony en-
velope should cheer her on her
way.
The other day I got a
lengthy letter from one of
these alimony martyrs which
I should never have room to
print, even if the editor gave
me an entire page.
The man had been married
to a widow with several chill
dren when he was a minor
a clear case of cradle robbing.
After a life of prolonged quar-
reling, the inevitable happened.
They we're divorced. The wife
was awarded SIS a week ali
mony. The mans salary was
cut and cut till it hit the low
at $3.50 week. The alimony
was reduced to $40, which gave
the man a cheering budget of
$3.50 on which to SubsiSt.
He was forced to take up his
residence with an invalid sister
who sews for a living, and they
both near-starved tog ther.
Meantime, his wife runs a sue
cessful boarding house and her
oldest son, by her first mar
riage, makes her a generous al
lowance.
The man mailed me great
quantities of legal documents to
prove the truth of his state
ments, which I've mailed back
with a letter of genuine condo
lence and a feeling of wonder
that any court of justice could
have rendered such a verdict.
But the prize alimony story
comes from Detroit. Joseph
Pozensky, of Halfway, Mich,
three months ago missed his
first alimony payment in 81
years, and his wife, who had
obtained a separate nlainte-
nance decree in 1900, had him

Of course a five-card suit is
rebiddable when reasonably
strong. A six-card suit does not
need to be so strong to be re-
biddable. He did so now, by bid
ding 4-Spades, over his partners
bid Of 4-Clubs. The changed bid
meant: Partner, my Spades

four clubs. I leave it to your
judgment whether we may
more easily win 10 tricks at
Spades or II tricks at Clubs"
Y passed. Just 10 tricks could
be made at either black suit, as
three Hearts should be lost.

Advice to the LoveIorn

the vestibule, or outside, for
her to enter. She doesn't ex-
actly smile, but looks at me
with kindly interest, and some
times we exchange glanceS dur
ing the service.
I don't know a soul to intro
duce us, neither does she. ap-
parently; but I'm mad over
her, and I think some of my
love is returned. Why should
I be stopped by convention?
Why shouldn't I, some Sunday
morning, go up and speak to
her? But then. of course, there
is the horrible thought she
might turn me down.
I know her name, I gave the
sexton a dollar to tell me. That
was dollar we'll spent. A lit
tie of your wisdom will be ap-
preciated by MAX.
Why have you waited two
whole years. my dear Max?
Just as soon as you found out
her name, you should have
called on the pastor or one of
the assistant clergy and put
the question of an introduction
up to him. Of course, he'll be
glad to oblige. These days
churches recognize social obli-
cations, and are only too de-
lighted to help play the part
of Cupid. Don't waste another
moment in worshipping from
afar. Call on the clergyman
tomorrow. and see if you can't
take her to church next Sun
day. And good luck to you.
