PLAIN TALK
DIVORCE AMONG US
BY ALFRED SEGAL

he covers his real identity under
the pseudonYm of the Hebrew
letter Gimmel-brought to me a
card he had just received from
the brotherhood of his temple. It
was inviting him TO brotherhood
breakfast in the temple and to
hear a discussion on the subject:
why Jews Marry and are Happy
Ever After" The rabbi. Albert
Goldman. was to be moderator.
Mr.. Gimmel was asking, what
can that mean? why Jews
Marry and are Happy Ever After
-. They must be kidding us. They
give the idea that all Jews are
happy ever after. That can't be.
It seems to cover just too much
territory. AS we all know, marital
happiness isn't tn at universal
among Jews"
We'll. Mr.. Gimmel." I replied.
II do get out of il a suggesting of
something that's really true in
married life among US. What I
mean is this: The percentage Of
divorce in Jewish married life
really is far below the divorce
rate in other circles"
In fact, I had been looking into
the matter statistically, running
up and down the lists published in
the press, of new lawsuits filed
each day in our courts; had made
these studies each day for two
weeks The lists contain all
kinds of litigation Lawsuits
for money owed, suits to collect
for injury in accidents, suits for
affections alienated &. and suits
for divorce -.
The number of divorce suits ex-
ceeded by far all other kinds Of
suits. AS an old-tiIner who dates
back into the leS0's / felt distress
ed 10 count so many divorces in
these times. remembered the
former times when a divorce was
a rarity in families. A divorce in
anv family was something not to
be. talked about except in whis-
pers. like smallpox.
Oh, remember how my par
ents blushed one day when it be-
came known that distant cousin
had sued her husband. When,
shamefacedly, my mother men
toned the matter at all, she closed
the window, lest somebody out
side hear her "Jew girl suing
for divorced" she exclaimed. This
was in the early 1905.
The reason was counting up
divorce suits was somehow Jew
ish. The purpose was to discover
how many of our Jewish boys and
girls 90 to court TO get rid Of their
marital troubles. Some days as
many as Is divorce suits had been
filed-not by Jews as against 8
or less of all other kinds of litiga-
lion. Yes. if seemed that those
who suffer the pain of being mar
ried are much more numerous
than those who go to court for
other pains: such as injury by
automobile. etc.
The count was about the same
each day :. .15 divorces, IA or IL
that's the way it ran and not

hung more than 80 samples
of her work in the living room
and the downstairs recreation
room of their UNCOVERED
three-story brick home on an
Arlington hilltop.
When the Heycocks first
came to Washington a little
over a year ago, they lived in
Chevy Chase but when they
saw their present home, she
said. I'VE simply had to have
It,"
The living room with its
North light and many windows
makes a perfect studio.
Mrs. Heycock, whose father
taught her to draw when she
was four, didn't take a seri-
Gus interest in art until seven
years ago. When the Heycock's
only son, Timothy, now II
years old, started to school,
she found she had some spare
time on her hands.
So she enrolled at London's
Chelsea Art School where she
studied portrait painting with
the well-known British port
raitist Bernard Adams.
Mrs. Heycock's exhibit Is
comprised mostly of portraits
done in oil on paper because
it dries so quickly and is easier
to work with"
However. the exhibit also
contains some realistic still
lifes and landscapes inspired
by q family vacation in ia
maica last summer.
Happy COIors
Light blues and reds pre-
dominate because she thinks
hey are happy colors."
She Is proud of the portrait
she has done of her husband
as well as two for which two
attaches wives posed for her.
One is of Nine. Oostindien
wife of the Netherlands Air
Attache. The other is of Mrs.
Charles E. Long, wife of the
Australian Military Attache.
No doubt, Mrs. Heycock's
friends will get a surprise when
they view three of her still
lifes of Jamaican conch shells.
draped with real strands Of
pearls.
The pearls give the paint
ings q strange third dimen-
sional effect.
She makes no pretense about
this unorthodox departure.
II thought it was amusing"
she said. pearls are so ter
ribly hard to paint. And, after
all. that's fun in paint"
This is Mrs. Heycock's first
exhibit of her work for friends
here. It is not. however, the
first time she has exhibited
her work.
In London. her work has
been shown in the Royal In
stitute summer salon, the
Royal Oil Painters Society
show and the Artists of Chel-
sea shows.

caramel and milk chocolate.
Both make a rich, smooth ic-.

fresh for days, packs and

sibly be and neither requires
cooking.
To prepare. you add butter
