But that's the trouble | now. “Far too many are getting into this marriage situation without thinking anything about taking on @ responsibility. And far too many youngsters,” he midded, gluing his eyes steadily on the specimen before him, “are ready to pop off and apply for a divorce at the end of a few months of married life. In my opinion the Judge ought to spank them and send them home.” “Rut what ts one gotng to do,” I asked him, “if one isn’t supported?” | “Oh, of course, in a case like that he replied. “How long did he support your" “About two months,” I told him. “Th where you made your mint he laughed; “you should have made the honeymoon last longer.” So I sighed.

So I said I'd figure up the gruesome details and lay my plans to proceed during the next few days. “And when It's all over,” sald this fourth gray-haired lawyer, And I wanted to weep, I was that worry for myself. So I didn’t go home—TI just stayed in the Lumber Exchange building and sought more advice. eee Down on the third floor was a little lawyer—sort of chubby. “He was a bachelor; he told me so. And I told him the same story about my objection to supporting a good-for nothing husband. “Bah,” he said, “such men! No, if I were married,” he added sweetly, ‘I wouldn't treat my wife that way.” Then he confided to me that in three years he'd gotten 21 divorces for {ll-treated wives, and also that he had lost only one divbrce in all his career, “And about the fees,” he ex- plained, “if YOU pay, it will be the minimum — about $60, and conts—but if we can, we'll inake your husband pay, and he'll pay more.” The papers, he said, could be start- ed that afternoon, when I might— er—pay a small deposit for the “costs,” Once again I found It necessary | to snatch Casper back from the very portals of the court house. Once again I escaped with the plea that I had to think it over, and carried the sweet apparition of my husband safely back to the elevator and down to earth. .
