CAN DIVORCE BE BLAMED ON WOMEN? Charge of Reformers Probably True, but Cause Goes Back to Mother, By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON ri ] TATISTTCS tell us that 40 per Iu I cent of marriages now end L__ In the divorce court. Reformers, therefore, consider this question and its possible remedy one of the gravest of the age. And in every criticism It seems to he the opinon women are to blame for the condition which confronts us. They are accused of no longer wanting homes and babies, of running after social pleasures and business careers; they love automobiles and moving pictures and dances and short skirts and bobbed hair so dearly that the kitchen has lost its charm and the hearth fire its glow. And this charge is probably Just. Wives Have Changed Fundamentally there is one reason for the sudden growth of divorce and its swift increase, and this is simply that wives will not put up with the eccentricities of husbands as they once did. Os late years, with the taste of the air of the morning upon their *Tlps, women may carry the idea of divorce to the extreme, and perhaps regret it most bitterly afterwards, but can they be entirely at fault? For time was, and not so long ago, that the mothers and grandmothers of these women could not break the bonds of an unhappy marriage; they had no chance to live save as wives; in many instances they endured unspeakable things because nowhere was there escape. They suffered physical brutality and loneliness and suppression, they worked like slaves and rereived the pay of slaves; they bore many children and practiced many sacrifices, but seldom did they experience the joy of individual work or have opportunity to satisfy the craving hunger of the mind. Yearning Perhaps these women of today who are so bitterly criticised are the daughters of mothers who have wept much and who. in enduring marital in fidelity and moral degradation, have bequeathed to their girl children that yearning for freedom which will not be denied. • That restless woman whom you j know may be the incarnation of some high spirited grandipothgr who. j while her eyes ached for the illimlt- j able distances of some far horizon, must needs sit on her cushion and sew a fine seam, eating out her hea-t far that romance and high adventure Which was never to be hers. Do not begrudge too much this orgy of feminine freedom. Bear with them If they carry things to the extreme, for though it may have seemed good to the men, for women, that other extreme from which ths7 have come may have been bitter indeed. UNUSUAL PEOPLE Dicken’s Pal, Now Wife’s Btf VFA Service ANT A ANA. Cal., Jan.-11.— I jS I George T. Drury.; 93, friend 1 1 of Charles Dickens and associate of Wilkie Collins, knows what It means to grow old in the Joy of living.

"1 saw Dickens often at Ramsgate, with Wilkie Collins,** says Drury, "a quiet, plainly-dressed man. always watching but seldom talking.

• The Basilisk By BERTON BRALEY It’s fine for a man to be cheerful, I don’t like the crabber a bit; But listen, ’ll slip you an earful — Although an admirer of grit I can’t stand the Chesire Cat person Who wears on his map all the while A fixed, ineffaceable, Sculptured, unchaseable, Nevermore varying Smile! t That kind of a bird isn’t human. For sometimes, when luck’s runing ■bad, The bravest of sports—man or woman— Is bound to get grouchy or mad. And though they may conquer their troubles In plucky, unfaltering style, They won’t wear that terrible, Almost unbearable, Wholly unquellable, Carved and indelible Smile! A smile is undoubtedly pleasant, A smile of the natural kind, But when it’s unchangeable present You wonder what’s lurking behind; And I am intensely distrustful Os devious scheming and guile Behind a perpetual, „ Glad-to-have-met-you-all, Guaranteed durable.

S. purifies the blood—creates new red blood cells —rids the system of impurities which make beauty and attractiveness impossible. As women to attract must radiate health so must they keep their systems free from impurities and their red blood cells ever increasing. S. S. S. does both. S. S.
