Copyright, 1990, by The Press Publishing Ca (The New York Evening World), se? you want to be happy though married, keep your eye on the Cupid- ometer!” That is W. Le George's newest matrimonial epigram—it came, fresh and bright, out of his inexhaustible mind when we discussed love and marriage two hours after he landed in New York for his first visit to America. As of course you know, Mr. George is the author of “Blind Alley,” “The Second Blooming” and several other clever, sophisticated. superbly well-written novels, romances expressed in terms of modern real- ism. He is the wittiest of living English story tellers, and he knows more about women than all the rest of them put together. + But I was particularly eager. t> hear his views on marriage, because In previous expressions of them he suggested irresistibly one of Mother Goose's famous characters. Like tho “wondrous wise’ man, Mr. Georgy first jumped into a bramble bush of thorny oniticisms of the Sacred Insti- tution and ecratched out both his eves with the assertion that he had observed only nine unqualified successes out of 160 marriages, Three years later he You are partners—yet you are also individuals.
