MONDAY. |DorothyDix HMave We Outgrown ur Divorce Laws? Would Protect Men From Grasping Wives [To Stop Divorce Must Quit I\/fiking It Most Profitable Grait Unscrupulous ‘Woman Can Follow. (:ONCIRNING marriage and divorce, s most intelligent, broad-minded and rseeing man writes me as follows: time of their enactment. Woman, at that period, was in a condition of sub- servience: she was regarded by man snd by the big majority of her own sex as the weaker vessel, and all independence in thought or action was frowned upon. “The men who enacted the laws of that day were fair-minded. Their mothers, sisters and wives were dear to them and it was their desire to see them protected. They did not look forward to the day when woman would declare her independence—when she ‘would demand and receive the power of the ballot; when she would not only take an equal footage in the world of business and industry, but would crowd mmn oul eniirely from many lines of .work, where heretofore he had reigned supreme. N “Qur domestic relation laws were in the main just and equitable at the | “In the face of the allered position of women, these old domestic relation laws, formulated by our forefathers, have become out-moded and work a great injustice on man. This is realized by the thinking men and women of the country and the only reason that they are not changed is because the law- makers and law-enforcers are elected by the people and they are afraid of the woman vote. Too many men sitting in high places are cowardly and the reform in this matter myst be instituted b.y won:en.themseh‘m. “IN the first place we need a national uniform marriage and divorce law. Every domestic relation law on the statute book should be scrapped and an entirely new law written that meets modern conditions. “Written into that law and forming a part of every marriage license should be a pre-marriage contract. Every point that could become an issue in divorce proceedings later should be covered in that contract. “The value of property owned by each at time of marriage: tffe division of accumulated property; the custody of childien and their support should all be specified: and. sbove all, the prospective husband should demand that his prospective wife walve all rights to alimony. “Now that & woman can go out and get & job as quickly as a man, and in many cases receive betler pay, why should & poor, hard-working man be required to support in idleness a woman who will not live with him? Everywhere the leaders and thinkers of the people are striving to lessen the divorce evil, yet they are making no move to curb the evil at its source, which is, in nine cases out of every ten, the money the man has accumulated or is earning. Pass & law which provides for & pre-marriage contract in which men may demand a walver on the part of the woman to alimony and you will reduce the number of divorces by half.” I am in hearty accord with every word that my correspondent writes. Alimony is first-ald to divoree and if you want to stop divorce you have to quif making it the most profitable graft that an unscrupulous woman can follow. There i= not one of ux who does not. number among our personal acquaint- | ances half a dozen women who have broken up their homes and left their husbands for utterly inadequate reasons—because they didn't want to live where their husbands’ business called them; because they didn't want to keep house: because they didn't get along with their mothers-in-law: because they found their husbands uncongenial; because they just wanted to be free. But not one of these women would have gotten a divorce if she had known that her decree absolute not only separated her from her husband but from her meal ticket. If she had known that when she left her husband she would have to go out and support herself, she would have made an effort to adjust herself to him and an honest endeavor to make marriage a success, She would have known that the peculiarities of husbands are no more | dificult to deal with than the peculiarities of bosses. and that if it is hard work to make a comfortable home, 50 it is to stand behind a counter, or pound & typewriter, or bend over & set of books all day. I her duties as a wife, that she can make her husband's life a burden to him | by her tyrannies and nagging and temper and that she can refuse to live with | him for no reason at all except that he has got on her nerves. and then that he can be forced to spend the balance of his life toiling to support her and perhaps some other man to whom she gives money. This was instanced in s recent case in which & woman left her husband because she had fallen in love with another man whom she married an hour after she got her divorce and who is now living luxuriously on the alimony the first husband is forced to pay his former wife. Naturally the woman who marries should have some protection, because she also puts her all into the matrimonial partnership, but this would be pro- vided for in the marriage contract suggested by my correspondent. Moreover it would at least clear the situation on the safe side of the altar and let her know where she would stand if she entered into the arrangement. She would know exactly what she would lose or win if she went into the bargain, and she could take it or leave it, as she saw fit Another advantage of the marriage contract is that it would take marriage out of the loose, indefinite “gentlemen's agreement” class, in which it is now and in which the man and woman take it for granted that all is going to be lovey-dovey and that there is never going to be any conflict of interests, or selfishness. but that each, ou the contrary, will vie with the other in sweetness and altrusim and devotion. We all know what happens in any gentlemen's agree- ment. The one who is the most greedy and grasping and dishonorable gets the ! best of the bargain, and this is true in marriage as in business.

The flank is sometimes called the breast. In England the section of loin nearest the shoulder is cut separately and is known as the “saddle.” Recipes in American cookbooks sometimes call for this cut.
