By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

The law has considerable to say
about how much power a dead
hand" may have over the living;
that is to say. how far the de-
ceased may reach from the grave
and interfere in the affairs of his
survivors.
In the very personal relation
ship between husband and wife
there is no such law except that
of conscience. and this can some
times present gruelling problems.
Mr.. Q. writes that he made his
dying wife a promise not to re-
marry and he now is suffering be-
cause of it. Listen to his story:
MY wife and I lived happily
together for IL years. Somehow,
the lack of children and the re-
gret over it seemed to bring us
closer together. Probably my
wife was a little too aggressive
her whole world was bounded by
me. she often told me. / knew
that wasn't right. but didn't seem
able to do anything about it. If I
suggested she go visiting or that
she get some other activities than
those in the home, she would
weep and ask if I were tired of
her. Her home was very dear to
her.
II am going into this detail to
help explain my situation, DR..
Popenoe. Last year she died. In
the last weeks Of her illness she
would often look around the room
and say she couldn't bear to think
of another woman taking over all
the little possessions she cher
ished. In almost her last mo-
ments she brought this up once
more and asked me to promise
her I wouldn't remarry.
"Of course, I shouldn't have
made such a promise-I know
that, DR.. Popenoe. I'm an active
and healthy man, not yet 40, &C
customed to having q home of my
own and wanting children of my
own. All I have to say to anyone

Visiting Here
With Children

Mr.. and. Mrs. George Willmott
Renchard have opened their home
on Whitehaven street for the few
weeks Of their vacation from MIR,
Renchard's foreign-service post in
Germany. Mr.. and Mrs. Renchard
have with theim their four chill
dren, Ronald and Stella May. born
in this country. and Roberta and
Randolph William, born in the
Netherlands.
Plans are under way for a cross
country motor trip to Santa Bar
bara. Mr.. and Mrs. Renchard want
their children, even the fourteen
month-old Randolph William, to
get an idea what their own coun-
try is like in comparison with the
countries they already have seen.
Mrs. Renchard, always very &C
tive in the work Of the Christ
Child Society in Washington. or
ganized a similar group in the
Netherlands when Mr.. Renchard
was on duty there. The group
overseas is known. as here, as the
Christ Child Society. but unlike
the organization in this country.
there are members on the board
of governors who are not Roman
Catholics. The society In Wash
ington, and wherever it exists in
this country, helps children Of all
denominations and for this reason
Mrs. Renchard deemed 1t fair in
the Dutch group to include non-
Catholics on the board. When she
left Holland, Mrs. Selden Chapin,
wife Of the United States AmbaS-
sador, took over the work.
Accompanying Mr.. and Mrs.
Renchard and the children back
to Washington was Mrs. Rem
chard's mother, Mrs. Daniel c.
Stapleton. who is staying at the
Sulgrave Club and does not plan
to make the trip West with them.

remarry. I have no particular
prospect in mind but I know that
"a man of my age can find many
good women from whom to make
a choice. I want to remarry, but
have made a solemn promise not
to. What shall I do?"
I think you should talk this over
with your minister. priest or rabbi.
who very likely knew your wife.
! take 1t that this is primarily a
matter Of conscience. However,
on other grounds. I think you
should remarry. I would argue
the case on these points:
/. Your promise was, in effect,
made under duress; you were not
a free agent because you were
shackled by emotion. The law
would not hold anyone to a con-
tract or agreement made under
such conditions.
2. Your promise is against pub
lie policy. It is highly desirable
from the standpoint Of society's
welfare that you have a home and
children. Again, the courts would
not enforce a contract or agree
ment that is against public policy.
8. This, I think. is important:
II you remarry, you will do well
to move to a different house and
to dispose Of a great many Of the
keepSakes that were your wife's.
Your new marriage will deserve
your full allegiance. Don't try to
live half in the new marriage and
half in the old. It can't be done,
successfully, and it could lead to
tragic consequences.

Harris Still Optimistic
About Mats Outlook
Despite Slip 10 Fourth
By Burton Howkins

A shower had washed out a
Mats game for the 10th time at
home and Bucky Harris delayed
his own shower long enough to
chat with reporters in the dugout.
Somebody said postponement of
the game with the Browns would
drop the Mats to fourth place and
Bucky observed, without apparent
feeling, eve were supposed to be a
bad eighth by this time"
But while slipping to fourth
place last night for the first time
in exactly monitor since they
swung two big deals with the
Yankees and White SoX-the Mats
were within one and = half
games Of the league lead. That
was, to be revised downward today,
with the idle Mats being nudged
two games back of the Boston,
cleveland game winner.
What's kept the Mats in con-
tention? Pitching and an ade-
|quate defense. Harris finds seven
of his key players hitting less than
.255 while the club prepares to
meet the dangerous White Sox
and Indians, but Bucky can afford
to be optimistic.
Hitting Potential Cited.
IF our pitching holds up, we
could have some fun" Harris said.
I'VE haven't been hitting, but the
potential is there. Mickey Vernon.
Pete Runnels, Eddie Yost and some
of the others are better hitters
than they've shown. I think
they'll perk up"
Vernon is hitting .252; Runnels,
.254, and Yost, pit. Archie Will
son has slumped to .225, Mickey
Grasso and Jim Busby are hitting
.167 and Gil Coan. currently out
with a broken wrist, is batting 1873
Perhaps for the first time in his
lengthy managerial career, Harris
is eagerly awaiting the return OF
a .167 hitter to his batting order
Busby, idle more than week with
an injured foot, is expected to be
back in centerfleld tomorrow night
when Chicago opens a four-game
series here.
Team Misses Busby.
"We've missed him." Bucky said
We've been playing a lot of tight
low-score games. with an accent
on defense. Anytime we have to
rely on defense I like to have
Busby in the lineup. He's choked
off many a run for us with his
fielding"
Bucky will have his pitching
staff prepared for Chicago and
Cleveland. He figures to fire Frank
Shea, Julio Moreno, Lou Sleater
and Sid Hudson against the White
Sox, with Connie Marrero, Bob
Porterfield and Shea slated to face
the Indians.
/ Shea and Sleater have been
prominent in keeping the Mats in
the first division. They have q
combined Go record since joining
the club.

The Giants two runs yesterday
came in the fourth inning with the
