Monogamy Endures in Modern Day Recent Quadrangle Case ff Shows Wife Sharing Fails in End. * BV HELEN UF.OIIIMLR JftA Service Staff Hnter \ITHEN the four wealthy, promi- ▼ * Itent Westerners who are said to have practiced interchangeable •marriage vows, came into the di©rce courts the other day. proof was supplied again that men will ‘not share their wives, unconventional though the protagonists of the liberties may be.

~ JBRm*

Ac c ordmg to one wife's testimony, the two men had countenanced a mutual exchange of wives on several occasions. Perhaps the quartet supposed it was on the road to a broader marital happiness. But one of the husbands rebelled at the game. He

ft orgot that he had. at least passively, helped found the liberty, equalI ty, free-love arrangement. According to a private detective, the weary rnisband staged a raid on his own nftme in order to catch his own wife with the man who had been his collaborator. Verities Don’t Change There are certain eternal verities that do not change. There is an integrity which must be unquestioned if marriage is to succeed. The Kentucky man who Trfcade the literary remark that Southern men mix their liquor but not th#ir women, stated a universal muN -Yen the sultans allow no extraharem privileges to the women who lounge on silken cushions awaiting the sultanic smile. If . marriage in the monogamous method had not proved itself to be the b£st solution of the race's childwelfare situation, it would not have endurifd. Institutions and laws arise 'from general needs. Men themselves created marriage and until a more satisfactory method is found i’i will endure. Long, long ago in the southeast corner iof *he Euphrates Valley, vehich 111 generally conceded to have ?ren th/e cradle of the human race, f feh rnfan took unto himself a wife. v\s time passed he increased the fnumber, it Is true. When the economic trend discouraged plurality—and the women themselves became vehement in objections, anyway—he reduced it again. Monogamy best suited his * needs. If an invader tried to interfere with a man's relationship with his wife—or wives—the invad‘er was killed. Public opinion approved. Society still frowns on men , who attempt to alienate other men’s wives. Suit Proves Point * Jn the recent marital doubles the husband who instigated the divorce action had no recourse to the so'called stealing theory, apparently. He had full knowledge of the project. That he went into court • proves again how possessive is the masculine heart. Otherwise he would see the thing through, and if for other reasons a divorce were desired, he would not have taken cover under the thing he himself • had once approved if testimony is to be believed. Maybe it is because the human race is not always sporting that we grtare not risk experimental measures. But much more likely, the , that the experiments have not the test n.'fuences the racial trend. Certain things are inviolate. Oddly enough those who experiment with them come back to that belief after awhile, just as the couples in the reported interchangeable marriage situation have done.

Or Laird hav infinite faith in the magic of iundr.es* and understanding while Dey atubborr.iV poon-poohs inch bosh. Dr Laird la at the police station when lingo Carter. 20-var-old daughter ol a wel7-known criminal. Tom Carter. 1* brought in and arre -ed for her sn-picious cor.duc’ Interested in the girl.

Jingo t bitter and accept* only because ane would otherwise be sent to the detention home , ... Tha- night Dr. Laird goes to dine with John Dey and they immedis’elv resume their argument. One of the guests. Ann w>--more. asks what the discussion 1* about. NOW OO ON WITH THE STOfIY CHAPTER SIX -rnpHE same old argument," wai X John Dey s reply as he smiled .vt rr. Laird. "Dr. Bob can not be induced to believe that a person brought up in an unhealthy atmosphere—by that I mean, crime, dirt, and disregard of the law. can not or will not be reformed. I say its in the blood. It has been proven down through the years. I know it!** Dr. Laird removed the cigar from his mouth and leveled his gray-eyed gaze at his young friend. "But how do you know It, my bov?”

"We have seen it for years in our factory. I have watched it. as father did before me- We have spent thousands in our plant on social service work. Our employes are given every advantage, but they come, unfortunately. from the river district and have lived there all their lives.’’ "Why?" interrupted Dr. Laird calmly. "Because rents are cheap. Thev can rent a house for S2O a month —and S2O is a lot of money for the majority of them.” "They work long enough to get some money ahead to go on a i-pree. They make use of our night schools when they feel like it, the recreation advantages and the chance to be somebody, but what good does it get them? "We have given them all the opportunity to buy smgll homes, comfortable and well built, in our little village down there on low monthly payments, and yet 50 per cent of these homes have been turned back to us because the payments were not kept up. Rogerson gave me these figures just today. I knew I would need some ammunition,” he grinned at his friend. Dr. Laird, "with you coming to dinner.” Dr. Laird tilted his fine head back. “Go on, my boy. I'm interested.” "Ramsey, one of the best foremen we have had in our factory—w r hen he is sober—got a long term last week. He was rum running nights. Said he needed the extra money. "That.” v-aed John decisively, “is adequate evidence that they won't go straight. We nave tried it for more than 10 years and it is the same old story year after year—” "Os course it is." agreed Ann prettily. "It was the same way with Lettie, one ol our maids. You remember. mother? Some social service worker called us and told us about her. She was at that time in a home tor girls. "Mother was afraid, but finally took her and in spite of the fact that we watched her—kept check on her ond all that—she actually took my clothes and I am sure she took that antique gold bracelet of grandmother’s.” Mrs. West more nodded affirmatively. “Sure of it. I believe with John. It is in the blood.” Mrs. Dey also nodded. “Os course it is. just the same as good breeding is in the blood.” a a a DR. LAIRD smiled at them over his cigar. "You are all wrong, good folks. And in one year I am going to prove it. I have one of the best exhibits in the city. In just one year I shall show you—” ' Are they given the right chance? Mrs Westmore’s maid was watched! Checked on everything! She was not trusted! Ann says so herself. And as for the men in the factory —let's be candid. How many children to a family do they average?” John Dey shrugged his shoulders doubtfully. “Well, I just can not say exactly. Tim Mullins has four —he was convicted last week and I am having the kids put in a home. Oscar has three, and if I remember rightly, Greuber has seven. He got the longest term of all. The streets seem filled with children when I drive through.” “Then let's say they average three to a family. I dare say that is conservative. I happen to know what your men get an hour, a day. We won't go into that. You pay well as factories go nowadays. All right! “And out of that—payments on a home! Food! Clothing! The care and education of children, sometimes three, sometimes seven! Sickness. doctor bills! No luxuries, no excitement, no real happiness. Nothing but hard work, worry and cares | —year in. year out —” "They shouldn't have children,” said Mrs. Westmore indignantly, i "They have as much right to chil-

dren as you have, my dear lady, and I dare say they love them as dearly as John does his. L.fe isn't worth much without little folks around. "And these children of theirs nave as much right to the better things in life, happiness, a chance to make good, as young Jackie and Betty Lou upstairs.” He clapped his hands sharply against the arm of his chair and laughed. "I haven't been up to see the young rascals yet.”

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretary American Bridre Leaeue THIS is the last of six interesting hands from the Terrace Bridge Club. New York. It was given to me by Fred Kaplan, who enjoys the weekly duplicate game at the club. Fine defensive plays seldom fail to bring forth a word of praise from even a declarer whose contract is defeated. While I believe that the entire line of defensive play is easier than the play of the dummy, nevertheless the real bridge player often is judged by his ability to recognize exceptional defensive situations. In today’s hand, Mr. Kaplan sat in the East, and lam sure you will agree, after looking the hand over, that the defense he put up was unusually fine. a a a IN response to East's bid of a spade. West’s opening lead was the nine of spades. The singleton five was played from dummy. Remember that the contract is six clubs. Would you play the ace

"You can go at the peril of your life,” their father warned him. "Cassie says the next time you go in there and make them laugh, she will j throw you out.” "It Is rather late,” conceded the doctor as he relaxed in his chair, i“I forgot it was so late, but I haven't seen the babies in a week.” "They are simply adorable,” said Ann softly.

of spades if you held the East hand? I will admit that the average player will certainly jump in with the ace, but before making this play let’s analyze the hand. East has bid spades and West has opened the nine of spades, showing that he does not have four, otherwise he would have opened his fourth best, to give his partner a count. At this point East knows that South holds at least four spades to the king-queen. To cash the ace of spades will establish the king and queen for South, and all South will have to do is ruff one spade with the five of clubs and he still will be able to pick up West’s four clubs to the ten spot. But if South is allowed to win the trick, what is he going to do with his other three spades? If he uses the king and five of clubs in dummy for ruffing, he will still lose a spade and then be forced to lose a club also. While the heart suit can be established for a discard, East will force South to ruff with the jack, and still a spade and a club must be lost. While refusal to win the ace of spades against a six contract with a singleton in dummy looks almost like a double dummy proposition, you can see that it is based on sound card reasoning.

Jackie —do you know, John he looks more like you every day." “Thanks,” he smiled, "but what I am most concegned with Is that he ' will grow into a fine man.” "How could he help it?” she whispered looking up at him while her mother watched approvingly. “And so we shall have to wait a year for you to prove to us that we are wrong. Dr. Bob,” John Dey teased his friend. “In one year I am going to show you that a person, reared under the influence and in the environment of one of the most daring and suspicious characters in the city —who has associated with his associates and worked with them, shielded them, loves them—can be made into a good, wholesome, right thinking citizen by being given a chance. In one year I am going to show you—but until then, we won't talk about—this person.” "All right. And in the meantime, we will talk about that new wing on the west end of the hospital and the new clinical laboratory where you can bring all the waifs from the streets —” "Jock,” drawled Dr. Laird. "If God ever put a heart into a man’s breast, he put one into yours in spite of the fact that you are as stubborn as a mule. But you don’t know, after all, whatV>u are doing for the very people you argue against. For their children—the city's stature citizens—” nun JOHN DEY laughed, “Well, I only hope they make better citizens than their fathers if they are the ones we have been talking about. But I am doing nothing. It’s all yours—” "Without you,” and Dr. Laird spread his nands in a helpless gesture, “I could have done nothing. My life’s dream would have been nothing—but a dream.” "Do tell us more about this person, Dr. Boo,” begged Ann prettily. “It is so interesting—and so amusing. Is this person a man or a woman?” "Does it matter?” evasively. “The point in question is that —this person—has known no other life. Was born into it in fact, although has not known the true situation. The father has shielded—this personin every possible way, from actual knowledge* •:? his real activities. “The love of that father for his child must have been a beautiful thing as is the love and memories that child has for the father. Says it was the r ch who took the father s life and vows vengeance. Ridiculous, of course, but it is the conclusion of a warped and biased mind—and of youth.” "Interesting,” conceded John Dey idly. “Go on, Dr. Bob.” "When the year is up, I’ll show you I'm right. That faith in a per-son-kindly interest, good, clean environment and work—a job—can take bitterness and ’intrigue and wrong from a person’s heart. A year from today—” “July 15,” meditated Ann Westmore. “I shall mark it in my diary tonight. July 15—” “I’m hoping the new wing will be well under way by fall, Dr. Bob,” said John briskly. "Because I’m planning to spend January and February in southern France with the Bannisters.” “You are really going to France next winter, John?” asked Ann. He nodded. "I haven’t been over for two years and I’m looking forward to it. Jim Bannister is taking his yacht over.” "Caroline,” said Mrs. Westmore, turning to Mrs. Dey. “Did I tell you that I had a letter from Mrs. Cleghorne —she was Susan Alexander of Boston, you know—inviting Ann and me for the winter season? She has opened their chateau above Monte Carlo. We’ll be there when you are, John.” Dr. Laird rose to his feet. “It’s getting late and I must go. Good night, friends.” John Dey was laughing when he came back into the living room after accompanying his old friend to the door. "Stubborn old Scotchman. I told him to go on with his reform and we would expect to see that exhibit a year from today—if he or she be then available, which I doubt.” Ann laughed, a tinkling little laugh, as he sat cJ ow n beside her. “But I should like to observe the progress of his experiment as time goes on, John. Do have him tell us who the person is so we can watch. It will be such fun to make him confess he is all wrong a year from today—July 15.” John shook his head. “We will leave the experiment in his hards, Ann, and ask no questions. But I believe I'm beginning to understand his viewpoint a little better after today.” (To Be Continued)
