DISGUSTED. Dear Mias Grey: So you think “us vain women” are the cause for so many divorces, do you, “Merry (7) Bachelor"? And you are #0 cynical about it, too! Now, I know just it is to be cynical, and even rabid on the subject, because I used to be cynical myself. You see, I say “used to be.” It is because I have seen a few happy, congenial marriages that makes me feel as I do towards mar riage and divorce. A great majority of divorces are merely the effect after the caum, a misfit partnership. But what I believe is the principal underlying cause of divorces is in tolerance. Intolerance of each other's opinions, mainly, and tntoler ance of each other's Most married people believe them, selves to be players in a great trag edy, where comedy is absolutely barred.
