Crowding Divorce Courts

DEAR Miss DIX: I married a boy just before he went overseas- l ivas l7 and he was l9 and we thought. we were very much in love wi.h each other. But he has been gone l6 months now and I have fallen in love with another man who wants me to got a divorce and marry him. I hate to ask my husband to give me a divorce as I dont know how he feels about me, and it seems mean to treat him badly when

l‘: didn't take any prophet to foretell this state of affairs. Yoli didlrt even have to be able to remember what happened an?“ previous wur, for an epidemic of war marriages is bound to be 0 0w- ed by an epidemic of divorces. Marriage is in the air. Everybody .5‘ doing it. Everybody is in a fine romantic frenzy, and boys and girls

And when the boys are gone and the excitement has disd out andl it is dull and tiresome for girls, who have always had P181153’ 01' (“i954 to sit at home at night. with Mama and Papa, and Joe is a long way‘ off, why, the girls discover that they were not in love as much ' ‘ they thought they were. And some other lad comes whistling down‘ the street, and their fickle fancies turn to him. And another marriage

goes on the rocks.

And what the girl should do under the circumstances-whether she shall write her absent husband and ask him for a divorce, or wtit until he comes home to break the news to him, no one knows. Personally. I advocate the waiting policy because, for one thing. the wife may fell in and out of love half a dozen times with different men before her legal spouse returns, and principally because it saves her husband's face among his buddies. And, in the second place, it zives his youthful fancy also a chance to cool off and may make him just as anxious to gctf rid of his wife as she is of him.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Do you think a woman should tatrrifks her happiness to her mother-in-law"? Mine makes me lo rglslertilible l’ just look at her and think so many times a dai hi)‘ ""16 Li?

rnc ‘o him.

My husband is a good man and treats me well, but he says he must sacrifice his happiness to his mother and as long as she wants to make her home with him he cant refuse her. She is in comfortable cla-ctlmstances and does not need any financial help. I cannot be a rm‘; wife to my husband because shc wont let me. She wont even

1c: rne sow a button on his coat. What shall I do?

ANSWER: If vour husband feels it is his duty to sacrifice his h life to his possessive mother. that is his affair, but he certainly has no right to sacrifice you to her. And if yotl find it impossible to live in ilcace with your mot-her-in-la\t' and he refuses to cut Mama's apron strings, I think you are perfectly Justified in leaving. The Bible specific- ally states that a husband's first obligation is to his wife.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My brother, who is s corporal stationed in England, wants to many an English woman of 26 with two chil- divert. This woman already has a ltusband and will have to get a lllVCICQ to marry him. We are much distressed over this, but he is tietermined to go ahead with the marriage and as he was of age long ago I guess it is his business. What do you think about this‘?

A WORRIED SISTER.

ANSWER: Not knowing anything about the woman. for that matter, r am in no position to even make a guess as to whether it would be a suitable marriage or not. How- ever, as he is a man of mature age, perhaps he is a good picker.

Rejuvenate Old Gloves

There's new life for those old gloves which, because they're out- moded, scams are split or they are soiled, lie languishing in disuse in bureau drawers. If any of the utt- used are suede, doeskin, antelope or other leather which is herd or expensive to come by in new glov- es, there is all the more reason to employ the following rejuvenating tricks rounded up from the experts.

Rc-styling? Almost any outmod- ed gauntlet, arm-climbing or elab- orately becufled glove can be chop- ped down to make o. simple shortle —the wrist-bone length which is on" of 1945's best stvle leaders.
