THAT is correct from the con-
tract" replied Mr.. Perlman. He
referred to a contract filed with

NTERMISSION

INTERMISSION - At the
height of his popularity, tenor
Enrico Caruso earned fabulous
sums. The offers he received
were so tempting, he found it
impossible to turn them down.
One night, however. he de-
cided to get away from it all and
give his tired vocal chords a rest.
He sneaked away to see a Broad
way show. He had scarcely
taken his seat when a stranger
came up and whispered:
How would you like to sing
tonight"
Sing? I no sing tonight"
said Caruso.
"a friend of mine is giving a
party" said the other. HE will
pay you $500 if you will sing
for half an hour"
Caruso shook his head.
II came to see a show. No
singing tonight"
But you'll be back in time
for the second act. I have a car
waiting outside. The chauffeur
will drive you back to the theater
when you have finished"
mo, no, no, no." repeated the
singer impatiently.
"I'll make it $1,000" said the
stranger. What do you say?"
Caruso picked up his hat and
coat.
II sing" he said, getting to
his feet.
When the second act curtain
went up, he was back in his seat.

The COUNCILS VIEWS

lfSN~e SSASAS - WE AfA@SSs
The COUNCILS VIEWS
This young couple went
Through a destructive process be-
fore their marriage. The par
|ents did everything to run down
the young man and create strain
and tension: then, at the very
breaking point, they surrendered
and blessed the marriage.
Their daughter, apparently,
became torn in mind toward
the young man as result of
the prents' Intervention. The
young man probably was not
sufficiently educated in the
problems that we're ahead Of
him. When small disappoint-
ments occurred. the daughter re-
called all the hostile comments
that had been made about her
husband by her prents.
Crude, cruel and unworthy"
are epithets that can be applied
with at least partial justifica-
ton to many a young husband.
This does not mean that this
young man cannot improve. We
suspect that the father failed,
after marriage, to wholly accept
the young man. Had he done so
and had he acknowledged some
merit in him, the daughter
might have better overcome the
effects of the pre-marriage OPP
position.
The mother is decidedly justi-
fled in objecting to a divorce.
Since she and her husband set
$50 much store by their family
pride and position, they certain
ly should not want a divorce in
the family, especially since they
have younger daughter whose
future may be somewhat be-
Iclouded If her sisters marriage
ends in complete failure.
If the young mans parents
are honest, well-meaning people,
1t would be a crime not to enlist
their cooperation. It may be
that the only thing lacking in
this marriage is some advice for
the young man in the problems
|of marriage. This definitely
looks like a case where there
has been much damage inflicted
and where repairs can be made.
