Here's A W aY
To Solve Drastic
Escort Shortage
BY RUTH MILLETT

Recently the society column OF
= New York Newspaper mentioned
the close friendship between the
nresent wife and the ex-wife Of the
same man. Said the writer: "Only
the prospects of facing the stares
of the curious keep the two women
from sharing a box at the opera
and attending the theatre as a
threesome with their respective,
past and present husband.
Why don't they face down those
xtares and start new wartime vo-
que?
Suitable escorts are so few and
far between these days-and d.
vorces are so frequent that So
ciety's manpower shortage would
be considerably relieved if a man
took his ex-wife or wives along
with his present one when going
to parties or seeing the town.
Think how many girls Tommy
Manville could keep from sitting
QOllG dIUllC, IL liz oIlS NF 49, $50
wives every time he decided to go
out for an evening.
SOLVE SHORTAGE
It should be stimulating expert
ence for the wives, with the past
wife and the present one competing
in looks, charm, clothes and I'm
derstanding.
And why should ''hidebound
Mayfairites of the old school
look askance at such a solution to
the escort shortage.
If they don't look askance at
divorce itself, why should they
get upset about a triangle's turn
ing into a coy little club with
exclusive membership?
Especially. when it would do SC
much to solve the manpowel
shortage from which society is
suffering?
