CORRESPONDENT asks: “What do you consider a legitimate cause for divorce?” Anything that robs a man or woman of all peace and happiness and that | makes his or her daily life a perpetual martyrdom. 1 do not believe that any man or woman should be compelled to endure the torments of a matrimonial | purgatory for 30 or 40 years because of the mistakes he or she blundered into making in the ignorance of youth. Nor do I believe that any man or woman | | should be punished for a lifetime for the faults of some one else Also T believe that what we call the divorce evil should be treated on the homeopathic principle of like-for-like, and that the cure for it is not stricter | divorce laws, but more liberal ones. For the only way to keep people from get- ting divorces Is to keep them from wanting them. To keep them satisfled and | happy as they would be if they had gotten good husbands and wives, and | nothing would do so much to improve the domestic morale as for the said hus- | bands and wives to know that they would lose their jobs if they didn’t give a | satisfactory performance. Comparatively few men and women want their homes broken up, to be parted from their children, and to undergo the mess and scandal of a divorce, and it is the knowledge that they can get away with anything short of murder | in the family circle and have the household machinery still functidn as usual that makes husbands and wives vent their spleen upon each other and treat cach other as they would not treat a dog Many a man who abuses his wife would mend his manner if he knew that she would give notice and quit at the end of the week. even as his stenographer would, if she was not treated like a lady. Many a wife would stop her tirades and put & silencer on her tongue if she was aware that her husband didn’t have to stay In his present position as a bill-payer unless things were made pleasant for him. But while divorce is often justified, it is in many cases inexpedient, even when justified. Especially for women, who frequently find that in getting a divorce from an unsatisfactory husband they have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, and that their last estate is worse than their first. JUST what are the cardinal sins in marriage is a matter of individual opinion * The law lists infidelity, habitual drunkenness and brutality as the headliners | of the offenses that husbands and wives commit against each other, and cer- | tainly no man or woman should be forced to live with an indjvidual who s guilty | | of any one of these fauits, Failure to provide is another cause for divorce that the law grants women | | in most States. Fair enough. No woman should be expected to live with a man | | who is too lazy and trifling to go to work and make a living for his family, but | | what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander, and failure to be a | good housekeeper should entitle any man to a divorce from his wife. lT IS almost as bad for a woman to poison her husband on mean cooking as | | it is for a husband to starve his wife. It is no more an offense for a man not | to provide a home for his wife to live in than it is for her to keep that house like | a pigsty Any man is entitled to a decree absolute, without having to pay ali- | mony, who can prove that his wife is a thriftless, shiftless housekeeper, whose | biscuit would give an ostrich dyspepsia and whose coffee would justify homicide Personally, 1 should put temper above all other causes for divorce. It fs harder to endure than infidelity or drink. It is the most fiendish form of brutal- ity, and I think any woman is entitled to divorce from a man who swears at her and insults her, who flies into rages over nothing, who growls over his food like a dog over a bone, and who goes Into silent grouches in which he refuses to even answer a question. | | And I think any man is entitled to a divorce upon request from a shrewish 1 | woman who nags him about everything he does and leaves undone, who makes | hysterical scenes. who sulks and,whines and complains, and who keeps him awake { | at night while she delivers curtain lectures. | | | I think stinginess fn a man and extravagance in a woman are just causes for divorce. I think a wife has a right to a divorce from a husband who will | not give her a fair share of the money she has helped to earn, and I think that | a man has a right to divorce from a woman who throws away all he earns, and who s ruining him by her senseless spending. § Undoubtedly divorce is bad.

All the signs seem to presage great surprises at the polls in the Autumn, when excitement of an extraordinary character will be nationwide.

It's most unusual to find anything ! wrong with the eyelashes, but then the eyelashes are kept clean because every time the face is washed they are bathed also, and every time cold cream is used on the face they get a certain amount of it, which lubricates them even if it does not actually nourish them. Even diseases that attack the hair qn the head do not attack the eyelashes, be- l':luu normally these are too well cared or. Of course some eyelashes are so short that they are practically useless in em- phasizing the beauty of the eyes, and some are so light in color that they simply do not count. For those which are short I should advise an occasional rubbing with any sort of cold cream containing lanoline.
