Happiness Can Follow Lost Love Thalia Massie’s Effort to End Life Cited for Comment. BY PALMER Tim** Special Writer NEW YORK, April 17.—Thalia Fortcscue Massie is in a Genoa hospital undergoing treatment after an attempted suicide explained by unhappiness over her divorce. She is only one of many heartbroken women who have, throughout history, turned to death

as an escape from a broken love affair. But our attitude toward this solution of a woman's emotional difficulties has undergone a change. According to the old romantic tradition, the woman who pined away and finally died for love was regarded with a moist-eyed admiration. Elaine, the Lily Maid,

Miss Palmer

I floating down to Astolat, was the r pattern of the touching and beautiful conduct appropriate to a l woman who had loved and lost. | Although she might, with almost equal propriety, close herself up in I the house, have a nervous breakdown and spend the rest of her days grieving over a packet of fad--1 ing love letters and remaining faithful to an old memory, r The romantic ideal also had strict rules for the behavior of a man in ; the face of his lady love’s unkindI ness. He could drown himself for f her sake, leaving a touching note of L forgiveness. Or he could turn * grimly off to Africa to risk his life l in any reckless enterprise that I promised a sudden heroic death. To |go on living, and even living norf mally, was the sign of a frivolous nature. The modern attitude is less in- ■ dined to believe in the nobility of losing all for love. Unhappiness Mourned We do not urge our unhappy friends to run away from their experienee to a convent or a foreign continent or tc the river. We suggest, instead, that they fall on whatever other interests ’ aWI friendships they have established and think as little as possible about their unhappiness. ‘ Nobody can read of a man’s or a woman's suicide for love without sympathy. But it is sympathy for the unhappiness that led up to the art, not approval of the solution chosen. Such a death seems to us a waste of human life and of years which might, after all, have been rich and varied and happy ones. Other Interests Necessary For the predicament of the modern woman who bases all of her happiness on the single emotion of love is a highly precarious one. If she lacks the religious fervor on which her grandmother could drop back, if she has no close and devoted family or lifelong friends, then she must, in self-protection, have some work. There must be something that will survive the shock of a disappointed love and help her to feel that life has, after all. some meaning left. We do not look upon suicide today as the proof of depth of emotion. We look upon it as a very unfortunate and bad solution for a situation out of w'hich the person with a rich store of interests can emerge, adih a considerable store of cheerfulness left, at the end of surprisingly few months.

A Woman's Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

"It's the same old marriage today that it was when grandmother was a girl,” says Dr. Howard Chandler Robbins, chairman of the committee on marriage and the home for the federal council of churches. But is it, Dr. Robbins? Are our difficulties similar to those which confronted grandma and grandpa? I dont’ think so. The entire aspect of society has changed within the last thirty years, and the adjustments to be made in marriage are, therefore, wholly different and very greatly increased. And if we go on saying we have only the old things to face, you may be sure we never shall be able to overcome them, because the old answers will not fit the new problems. The status of woman has changed, which alters the framework of marriage. Economic and social life do not at all resemble the old. We have, to be specific, come to a time when, in order to give both husbands and wives the emotional satisfactions of parenthood —a simple and natural enough thing for our grandparents —multitudes of women have got to work outside the home. An enormous percentaage of wives, if they want to be mothers, are obliged to go into the economic field, simply because one person alone can no longer earn enough to support three people. Living conditions are not so good for happy marriage as they once were. Congestion prevails in the cities while the country woman rightfully resents a condition which makes possible all sorts of labor saving devices and comforts, but denies them to her because she happens to live on a farm. But the greatest of all changes is in our moral attitudes. If we said they were the same as those believed in by grandma, we should

be guilty of a definite misstatement of fact. Something more is required of today’s wife than was required of the wife of yesterday, something more expansive, more subtle, more gracious, more intelligent. It seems to me the only way we can preserve real marriage is to discard the old rules and begin all over again by taking a good square look at what confronts us, and basing our modern remedies on modern needs.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M'KENNEY, Secretary American Bridge League ARE you always on the alert to make the -most of your opponents’ mistakes? Or to play a hand for the extra trick after receiving a favorable opening? That is where the real fun comes in bridge. There really isn’t a great deal of fun in just playing a Laydown hand. Os course, the first thing you must do is to make sure of your contract, but if you then can make an extra trick, while the number of points gained mpy not be many, they build up your spirit and break down the morale of your opponents. James Cross of Erie, Pa., shows us a neat triple squeeze play in today’s hand to make seven odd, after receiving a favorable opening. The bidding is an example of slow and deliberate exchange of information which North requires to arrive at his rather optimistic contract of six no trump, a a a A HEART opening will hold the xY hand to six odd. However, a diamond -was opened rgainst Mr. Cross. East’s jack forced his queen. He immediately returned a small diamond and finessed the ten, which held. The ten of hearts was led from dummy and the queen finessed, which held. A club was won in dummy with the queen, and the ten of

He got dummy's hand down to the five of hearts, the ace and five of diamonds, and the three of clubs. East bore down to the king and nine of spades and the king and seven of hearts. South got down to the jack of spades, the act and nine of hearts, and the nine of diamonds. And West held the jack and eight of hearts and the king and eight of diamonds. The last club was led and East parted with the nine of spades, declarer discarding the nine of diamonds. West had to let go a heart The ace of diamonds was cashed which again squeezed East. He must protect his king of spades, so he discarded the seven of hearts, declarer discarding’the jack of spades. He won the last two tricks with the ace aand nine of hearts, making his contract and one over-trick.
