Man Puzzled bv Love Not w Possessive Gets Divorce Because Wife Failed to Show Jealousy. BY HELEN' WELSHIMER, Times special Writer A GROWN-UP man kicked him- j self out of heaven the other j day. Os course he didn’t know that ; he had been living three flights, up. j He has no idea that he will want to roam the Elysium fields again, j

His wife didn’t 1 love him, he said. He could not prove that she didn't. She i never grew angry when he | evinced a casual j interest in a' passing woman. \ She didn't re-1 proach him | when his phil- • andering heart j got torn on a briar or bramble. '■ She was always ready to bathe;

Mi* Welshimer the wounds. “If she loved me, she would object. She would be possessive. She j wouldn’t want to share me,” he told the Judge. Poor man! He knows so little, j He never had been told that no woman ever delights in sharing tlie man she loves. But there are : women who consider themselves wise in believing that it is better, far better, for man to yield to a J passing urge and be poised again, than to go around with a Sistine j Madonna enthroned in his heart —a Sistine Madonna who. it may ( develop, chews gum vociferously. Men have a chemical curiosity in regard to other women. Mystery at- j tracts. View Is Acquired Say what you please about golden | wedding anniversaries, there isnt a single Darby who has lived with a j Joan for fifty years who hasn't wished, half a dozen times, that the tie that bound would not be likely to be unlooped if he leaned across the hedge of the garden wall to tell the widow in the house next door that he liked the shape of her eyebrows. Many women have submitted--rightly or wrongly—to the widely! accepted theory that a man’s life | must touch those of many women. The man who went on the court record because he asked for a di- i vorce from his wife who gave him what every man wants to be given, didn't deserve her. No woman naturally favors this freedom. She may accord it because she thinks she knows its exact value —that it really has a minor rating in her husband's life. Every woman who grants it learns to do so. No one was ever born knowing! It's a strange world. Mrs. O’Grady and the Colonel's Lady may have something in common, but men and women were never even distant j cousins. There is a catch in the contract j that may halt the men—temporarily —who, at first thought, crowned the divorced husband as the king of fools. If a woman watches her husband preparing for his conquest, gently murmuring: “Don't worry, darling. Os course she’ll adore you. How could any woman do otherwise?" ... If she kisses him good- ) by fondly maybe he will begin to ] wonder, as the man who applied for a divorce did. how much his wife really loves him. And for that matter, how much does she?

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South opened the contracting with one club. North bid hearts, South bid diamonds, and they finally arrived at a seven diamond contract. Should East double, holding the following hand? AKQ J 3 V Q 10 7 ♦ J 10 5 2 K 7 Solution in next issue, 6 Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League DON't carelessly play any card in your hand. Try to make every’ card convey a message to your partner. When you have a high card and you think it advisable for your partner to know this, echo with a high card. Don’t get into the habit of false-carding without anything behind it. There are times, however, when a clever false-card will win a hand for you by a big swing. A clever false-card move was made in today’s hand by Fred Ohrt of Buffalo, playing in the recent Buffalo city championship tournament. North, not having four of his partner’s suit, can not support hearts on the first round and his natural response is no trump. However, as soon as South showed a five-card heart suit. North’s strength now was sufficient to take the strain off the.hand by jumping to four.

TYTEST cashed the king of dia- ~ ’ monds, which held, Mr. Ohrt, in the East, playing the encouraging nine spot. West, therefore, continued with the ace of diamonds and then the jack of diamonds, which Mr. Ohrt won with the queen. He returne da small spade and South, the declarer, won the trick wth the ace. He already had lost three clubs and knew that, if the spade suit broke, he would not have to take the club finesse. His only hope was not to lose a trump trick. Therefore, he played the ace of hearts. The careless East player would play the ten of hearts, and South naturally would continue with the king of hearts and pick up the outstanding trump. But Mr. Ohrt realized that the declarer was up against a tough guess, and so he false-carded and played his queen. This made it looks as though West held four hearts to the ten spot originally. Therefore, the declarer played a small heart, West played the six, and you can not blame the declarer'for finessing the nine, trying to make his contract. Os course, Mr. ohrt won the trick with the ten of hearts, thus defeating the declarer’s contract one trick. (Copyright. 1934, by NEA Service, Inc.)

As 1916 drew to a close, the world was getting tired of war —understandably, since the frightful sacrifices of Verdun and the Somme were matters of recent memory. In all countries tentative movements toward peace were beginning. The British cabinet discussed a peace plan. Germany was known to be ready to talk peace. It was Lloyd George, more than any other statesman, who squelched this talk. A negotiated peace at that time, he insisted, would settle nothing. The war must go on until complete victory had been gained. German militarism must be crushed absolutely. The allies must stick to it and administer a knockout blow. Otherwise the post-war years would be fraught with danger, injustice, and fear. Well, Lloyd George had his way. In this book he elaborates on his stand and justifies it. And it is rather appalling to find a responsible statesman, in the year 1933, who can feel that anything very consequential was gained by extending the war for two more years. Peace in 1916 would have prevented Communism in Russia and Hitlerism in Germany. The outlook for peace today could be hardly worse than it is. The world might have been spared an infinite amount of suffering. By going on with the war the world gained—just what? Anyhow, here’s, Lloyd George's story. It gives a valuable insight into wartime strategy and diplomacy criticises certain English statesmen and soldiers rather sharply, removes some more of Kitchener’s halo, and tells about the collapse of the Asquith coalition cabinet. And, as I say, it’s all pretty depressing. Published by Little, Brown and Company, it sells for $4.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

In connrttion with the letter published below, Jane Jordan would like to hear 1 from people who married at tender ages. If you married young, please help us by writing a letter to the column to tell us how It turned out. The results of this inquiry will be published. Everybody write. Dear Jane Jordan—Having enjoyed your column for the past months, I am In a position to differ with you in regard to courtship between a man 22 and a girl of 15. I am keeping company with a girl of 15 and I intend to marry her. As to age, all of us reached the age of reason at 7, but apparently you have anew idea. In regard to your attitude concerning marriage for a girl under 25, I gather that you have forgotten that your ancestors were married long before 25. i recommend a study of medical science. In all probability you will find that bones in females set at the age of 25. Why don’t you give men a break? You and I know that a man becomes what he is on account of female—that’s human. I have a copy of this letter and I am going to see whether or not you publish what is sent to you. xxxxxx an n Answer—Savage boys and girls mated at 15 and 16. And it is true that our pioneer ancestors exploited their girl children in marriage at an even earlier age. Arthur W. Calhoun says that girls of North Caro-

lina often became grandmothers at 27. Early marriages were usual in all states at that time. Even girls of well-to-do classes were married at 13 and 14. In the decade following the Oregon free-land law of 1850, it was not uncommon to see brides of 14. 3ome people write of married women who were found

pathetically playing with their dolls. Our grandmothers may or may not have been fitted for maternity at these tender ages. I believe that there is some medical dispute about the physiological and eugenic disadvantages of such early child-bear-ing. undoubtedly some of them still were emotionally children, and physically far from mature. The surviving peasant custom of child marriage in our southern mountain districts has borne enough unpleasant results to influence us against it for our own little girls. My grandmother was married at 14 and bore the first of her nine children at 16. However, on the whole, conditions of pioneer life were better adapted to promote emotional capacity at an early age than the more sheltered existence of today’s young girl. The rural freedom of courtship tended to make them emotionally more mature than the present system of forbidding girls to have dates in their early teens. Agricultural requirements for marriage were fairly simple in comparison to the economic complications of the present. Today we are prejudiced against early marriage and maternity on reasonable grounds. It simply does not fit in with the trend of our culture. Girls now enter into professions and educational institutions that were previously reserved for men only. This makes for a longer period of sexual selection and a larger range of love choice, with ac-

tivities of sufficient interest to bridge the gap. Between the infantile stage of dependence and the adult capacity for responsible relationships, there j is a great gulf to be spanned by the emotional development of the individual. For it is not the fact of marriage and maternity that makes a person adult, but the psychological capacity for the enjoyment of adult responsibilities. I believe the law to be wise which forbid child marriages in our times. The legal age at which a girl may marry without parental consent is 18. For a boy, who matures more slowly, the age is 21. The period of maturity differs in individuals and in social environments. I do not recall setting the age of 25 as the proper time for a girl to marry. It does seem to me that the child you expect to marry is sexually precocious rather than emotionally mature. I do not look for permanence in the marriage you are about to undertake, for a lifelong union depends upon emotional knowledge which the child does not have. She will be obliged to substitute marriage for the period of innocent courtship which should have been hers. It would be interesting to hear from you a few years later. And it wall be interesting to hear from others who have married young and come up against some problems. nan Dear Jane Jordan—l am 16. He is 24. He says he cares for me and he has asked me twice to marry him, yet we have but one date a week. I'm not ready to marry. I’m just starting to live and I want to have a good time. My feeling for him is not love, but he is the only one I’ve ever really cared for. I've never cried over boys before, but I do worry over him. Do you think if he really cared for me that he would act so queer? Please help me. PUZZLED. Answer—No, I don't think that if he really cared for you he would be content with one date a week. Perhaps you are over-anxious and your obvious devotion does not offer sufficient challenge to awaken the instinct of the chase. The male is prepared for some resistance from the object of his choice, which he expects to overcome by ardent wooing. Female flight always increases male desire. Floyd Dell says that these delays in courtship call for the transformation of otherwise unendurable desire into symbolic and psychic assertions and promises which constitute the poetry of courtship. You lack the independence which would excite him to greater effort to win you.
