»ys Money Roof Os Most Divorces Chicago Judge Says Money Usual Cause CHICAGO, UP —’ Judge Julius H. Miner, “mender of broken marriaged,” believes money problems account for more than SO percent of divorces, j .. ; ' Sexual incompatibility is •’very infinitesimal” in its contribution to broken homes, he said. Minsk, a Judge of the Cook County Superior Court, has been credited with saving hundreds of marriages through reconciliations. He is the author of Illinois’ new •cooling off” divorce law, which he hopes will help save more marriages. . ’ Financial troubles often lead directly to legal Justifications for divorce, Judge Miner said.

It happens thia way: “The man makes Jnst barely enough money to make ends meet. The wife wants a new dress but he can’t afford it. She starts to nag. It gets unbearable for him. He hits her. That’s cruelty. So she’s got grounds for divorce. “Or maybe money problems lead him to the tavern every night. • That’s drunkenness. Character Plays Part 1 “Or the man can’t face the bur- - den of financial arguments. He leave# 7 home and it’s desertion.” “Lack of character” in a wide ■ variety of forms is in second place as a home-breaker, Miner said. In : this category he puts “aloofness, 1 selfishness, domination, and cal- • lousness.’V 5 Other reasons for divorce are only minor, Judge Miner said. “Sex is highly'exaggerated. Not • even as many as five percent of divorces can be blamed on bad sex relations,” he said. Differences in religion also have a small rote as a home destroyer, Miner said. “If a difference in re- | ligion has become so important that it makes the man and wife want a divorce, something much deeper is behind the dispute,” Miner said. *. 60 Days To Consider Miner’s new "cooling oft” divorce law went into effect in Illinois courts July 1. A resident of the state who wants a divorce, or a legal separation or annulment, must file a “declaration of intention” to sue with the court clerk and wait 60 days before the action may be entered. During this period Judge Miner talks to each couple in his chambers, first separately, then to the husband and wife together. Often he gives them a tonguelashing. *'l think you’re just too arrogant,” he told one wife. “You’d better give him another chance. After all; it’s not going to be a cinch finding another man who’ll want to support those two children.” Miner said 75 percent of the couples he talks to go back home together to make another try. Judge Miner has no formula for happy married life. “Mrs. Miner and I have our fights.” he told a couple, "but there are the children to think of (the Miners have three) so we just stiek it out and soon the argument is forgotten.” Planes To U.

_ SYNOPSIS When Phil Stanley stepped Into Humphrey Charles’ law office to collect another sizable, legacy due him. he stepped right into Nancy Kelly's life. Intrigued by the sparkling wit and the lush red hair of this young woman serving as Mr. Charles’ secretary. Phil ventured to ask Nancy to lunch with him. and she accepted; It would be fun, she reasoned, to be seen at the . University club with the city's most Pwny A sociality mi£9, hiding T J nd* Van Vliet. a new-comer, whose charm and brunette beauty bad become the w&a: xsi-a.'i.’x reached heme to And her family in a state of despair. Her father. Tim. wee again unemployed, as was her brother Tom. Her younger slater Moira had eloped with Sam Sykes, a young man of ill repute. Nancy banded her badly needed pay check to her distraught, work-worn mother. "Breeey Larry Patrick, an enterprising newspaper reporter had spotted Nancy Kelly and Phil Stanley at the club. He was quick to reach the Kelly home, demanding te know if romance loomed. Nancy assured him it did not. Her jaunt with Stanley was merely part of her day's, work, she said. When, several days later Phil and Nancy attend theater together, she meets with numerous es his socialite friends and feels strangely lost., a sort of wren among the golden V 1 Ic drfSa 11 Us. CHAPTER FTVE THE REST of the performance was agony to Nancy Kelly. She knew there were people oa the stage, that the audience was laughing at the farce, but to her it wasn’t funny. The face of Emile, head waiter at the Empire room, lighted with recognition of Phil Stanley when he and Nancy ascended the broad stairs and into the room, gay with music and the excited chatter of after the theater merrymakers. “Good evening, Emile. Same place, Emile, please.** How at ease Phil was. Emile led them to a choice table, not too near the orchestra for conversation, yet in fun view of the dance floor and the entrance. Phil read the menu card to Nancy, then handed it back to the deferential Emile. They had agreed on lobster. “And champagne, ’’ Phil added. Nancy had never tasted champagne in her life. “Now how about teaching me to , dance?* x - Phil’s dark eyes were mischievous, glowing. On the dance floor Nancy felt that every eye in the room was upon them. She was right. The music stopped just as Sylvia Staunton and Harriet Clayton, Tod Thornberry and Dick Fairchild and half a dozen others, including Linda Van Vliet, were being seated at tables pushed together near Phil’s and Haney's table where, a waiter had just brought a silvey bucket of ice, the green necks of champagne bottles protruding from it. The chattering party insisted that Phil and Nancy join it. Introductions. Orders for more ehamI pagne, and lobster. Phil was seated between Nancy and Linda. How Linda got there Nancy didn't know. She decided that Linda must also have been at the theater and had joined Sylvia, Harriet and the rest of them afterwards. At Linda's right was her escort, Chadwick Oaybourna Naacy knew him by reputation, his name was always appearing in the society columns. He played polo. He belonged to the Hunt club.

* 1— But even now, civil service methods appear antiquated to an American. ' There seem to be as many “huissiers” — porters with mysterious functions even they can’t explain —as secretaries in some government buildings. \ Long corridors which in Washington would be echoing with busy sounds of typing and business' machines, are strahgely silent. Strangely silent, that is, until it is realized that more ‘than 75 ; percent of the work is still carried out with steel-nibbed pens. And French handwriting is as individualistic as the Gallic soul. * The Program Telephones are relics, rickety and rarely functioning. This snakes for miles of walking daily to ; — .

fully. Friends called him "Chad.* Chad, Nancy decided in her quick way, was going to be the life of party. The eyes of all the girls At the table seemed to be on him. All but those of Linda Van Vliet. She was monopolizing the attention of Phil Stanley, or trying to, ignoring the fact that Phil was with Nancy. Linda was sleek, streamlined. Her hairdress was dramatically simple, sledktrl down from a rntuMN* part. Her tong, cool green eyes were in startling contrast to its blackness. She made Nancy think at a black panther. During the confusion of finding places at the table, the introductions and the ordering es toad Nancy found opportunity to apI praise the party ot young bluebtoeds with whom Phil Stanley traveled. She had read of them a thousand times, ot the safe, secure position each ot them had in the social scheme of thing*. Nancy observed the fine, expensive clothes worn by these girls, and felt like a wren tn a flock of golden pheasant*. She would have given anything she possessed to be out of the party, back in her mother's kitchen pressing her one really good blue, linen blouse, or rinsing out a pair of her stockings in the bathroom. They were not her crowd, i Why, oh why, had she gotten herself into this! All this was whirling through her brain while Dick Fairchild, at her left, in Harvard accent, was querying her. "A Milwaukee girl?’’ “Yes, I’ve always lived here.* “Really?” >. ? There was a volume in the word. "Known Phil Stanley long?” £ "Yes—that is, no.’’ “You must have kept yourself scarce—away at school, I Suppose ?" Some surging fire of resentment at Dick Fairchild's patronizing tone made Nancy want to rise up and say, "Yes, I’m a Vassar girl," and then slap his face. Instead she said: \ JI “Yes, I’ve been to school, to Miss Brown's School of Business." C ' Whatever the effect her answer had on Dick Fairchild was missed by Nancy. Simultaneously with her answer, a waiter started pouring an amber, sparkling drink into the long stemmed glass before her, and Phil Stanley managed to break from the monopoly of Linda Van Vliet’s conversation to turn to Nancy. £ “How are you coming, MissRedhead?” His remark seemed te have centered the eyes of everyone at -the table upon ber. Nancy flushed, then steeling herself to took up, thought she caught the slightest wink given Tod Thornberry by Sylvia Stauni ton. If it wasn’t a wink, it was the 1 flicker ot an eyelid that implied . sophisticated amusement. As though Phil Stanley had picked up some little nobody cause she happened to have a head of red hair, and was having a i game by bringing her into their i crowd.

For the benefit of the more than 2,000,006 American federal workers, here’s what is behind the reform for their 966400 French opposite numbers: Young men and women, mostly 18 to 26, from all over the country are admitted after stiff examination to the school. Previous snobbish rules that only Parisians got in are relaxed. These candidates headed for the “Grands Corps,” as the top brackets are still called, etart with 12 months’ job-training to give them a taste of what is to come. It may be in a local governor’s

Unda Van Vliet leaned forward, ••■ J? AT? 1 cobra. .■ v , “You ere auburu, acen*t you. Miss—Mias Murphy." The green eyes glinted and bolied the syrup in her voice. “Where do you get such a beautiful dye?" \ It was a stab that brought Immediate retaliation from Nancy. So fast that Nancy surprised barself. “It to not a dye, Miss—Mtos Van Vitch." “My name to net Van Vitch.“My name to not Murphy.* If Nancy's blood had been running cold with embarrassment and discomfort before, it was whipped ' into fury now. The Kelly spirit surged through her heart. Sh« had an imputoe to fling the sparkling champagne before her into Linda’s face and run from the room. The orchestra, mercifully, struck up a new dance, and Unda stood up. \ t.'' “Let’s dance, Phil." Dick Fairchild turned to Sylvia. How casual they all were. For an Instant Nancy thought she was to be left sitting at the table while Unda Van Vliet, in her possessive way, took Phil from her side. Chad Claybourne, across the table, gave a particularly debonair* twist to his little rsustnrhe “That leaves me Cor you, 'Mtos Kelly. Shall we dance? But you haven’t drunk all of your champagne. Drink up. Let’s have another.” He raised hto glass to Nancy's. There was a tinkle of crystal In a moment she was being tod around the gleaming dance floor m the ar me of Chad Clay bourne. Nancy Kelly, of the Cass Street Kellys, held tightly to the gleam* ing white of Chad’s dross shirt with its black and pearl studs, held close by the man who had the power silly old dowagers giggto. The man whose powerful yellow roadster could be seen on almost any afternoon flashing up and down the lanes of the take shore and River Hills estates. It was an intoxicating seiwatinn te Nancy Kelly. She began to feel a lovely lightness es spirit. Chad was talking to her as though she were a princess. Her toes touched the floor more lightly than they had ever touched a dance floor before. Back at the table, everyone was flushed and excited with the magic that only tne music of a suave, swift dance orchestra can give. Phil Stanley filled Nancy’s empty champagne glass. Even Dick Fairchild’s aloof maimer thawed under the influence of the wine. Nancy found herself chattering new. She felt clearheaded, and yet as though she were floating through the ata. It was all nonsense, this feeing she had always had that the rich, the favored, were apart from the girls who worked. 1 (To Bo Continodod) Feetars* Sredlcste. ■MbOiaiuiniun* I. ' _
