had half mind to leave it in its neat
carton. Only half a mind. The spell
was still on him. He unpacked it, read
the directions, and was presently on
his way to lumber mill for post of
pine. He painted the top Of the post
white and one Sunday morning he
dipped the lower end in creosote and
set it in the ground at a crossing OF
paths in the yard behind the house -
where some other fool lineman could
spot it. looking down from the cross
arm of a telephone pole. His heart

friendly terms. Nothing in all the world
is so devastating in its destruction of
character and of soul as hatred. Any
thing is better for children than that!
The most bitterly unhappy situa-
ton that can come to child is to be
the victim of court decree which
condemns it to the continual shift, like
human shuttlecock, between parents
who hate each other. Even worse in its
emotional effect is it to feel that one
parent has inflicted unmerited cruelty
on the other. Emotional disturbance
such as this should not be the portion
of any child.
There are cases, of course, where
divorce is the best - sometimes the
only - solution for every one con-
cerned. If two persons are truly mis-
mated they certainly - perhaps their
children, too - are better off if they
part The only consideration of vital
importance is that they shall not part
because of a transient "love-for-
another" attack. and that they shall
honestly consider the price to be paid
by their children. When children

almost too much ever to ask. Where

it seems to me, no possible doubt as
to the answer.
If divorce might never have been
or if. by developing higher standards
of character. the epidemic might be
overcome, that would be one thing.
But for the present it is plain that
drastic readjustment of yesterdays
rules must be made - particularly in
those cases where conventions and
humanities are in conflict. Certainly
no thinking person could rate the
former above the latter. In the thou
sands of cases where children are in

parents make every effort to remain on

that the payment is not too heavy for
them to bear.
One wonders what part divorce has
played in the point of view of many
Of the now-grown generation. How
many children in America today live
in fear of the collapse of what is to
them the whole world: the security of
home? How many especially in the
greater cities - live with mother and
father together, and know no fear of
catastrophe which will break home in
two and leave them lost in the upheaved
land between? How many of the thou
sands of children who have lived
through this experience have suffered
spiritual injury, and to what degree?
No one can know for certain. Nor can
one know to what degree other chill
dren, who have been witnesses to the
broken homes of their playmates, live
in fear of the same thing happening to
them.
To anyone who stops to think. it
should be plain that children, instead
of being unknowing, uncaring little
beings. are. on the contrary. super
sensitive to the moods and motives of
grown people. And the thought is
appalling that family ties should have
become 50 breakable that a child's

parents of the bride!
A number of other examples are less
shocking only in degree. One Of them
reads: "Mr. A. Aye and Mrs. z. Zee

ter Margaret Properly, the announce

And the invitation to the reception
held at the house of Mary's mother
and stepfather is worded:

An important reason why the in
vitations should be sent out by the
mother of the bride is that, no matter
who gives the wedding. the father goes
with his daughter to church and
walks up the aisle with her and gives
her away.
Another reason why the mother

Is the cause OF Jenny's belittling.
For whenever Jay attends party and
things get dull the old Imagination
becomes active, and he spins a yarn
that is sure to be a rip-snorter.
More times than not, when Jay is
nearing the climax of his story, Jenny,
blushing slightly in embarrassment,
will interrupt with: "Oh, now, Jay,
you know it wasn't so bad as that.
Why not tell the truth?" Or: Now,
Jay, that isn't so. Why, you'll have
folks believe you actually did those
things"
Last week four couples of us at

the Dave Browns. Some one would
probably have suggested going home

the Browns always serve excellent

had not sounded.

wrinkles in her skirt. But Jay only
grinned broadly.
"Bess," he said, was about the
prettiest girl you'd want to look at.
The boys were nuts about her, and
she had gay time for year or two
kidding them along and making
each one think he was the favored
swain.
However. there came a time when
Bess suddenly decided the old wrin-
