DIVORCE SELDOM BRINGS FREEDOM THAT IS EXPECTED

Greater Percentage 0f Men And Women Who Have Severed Marital Relations Later Regret The Step

_A recent “survey was conducted among divorced women in which they Weie asked: How do you feel. five years after your divorce. about the wisdom of having got one?" Of the women who answered this question.

. = - 50 per cent regretted breaking up their marriages and sa.id that if they were faced with the sane Emblem toda they would remain with their

usbands. irty-four per cent were happy to have got rid of their partners and i6 per cent had returned to their spouses No doubt if the

their wives virtually the same response would be

the happiness the expected from it. It is not the cure-all for w at. ails mairiage that those who take it believe it. will be. No denying that there are some marriages for ivhich divorce is as necessary as is the surgeon's knife that cuts away! a malignant growth to savc a life, but not cvcrv twinge of pain denotes cancer, nor are there many men and women who are hrutcs and vira-I goes.

All soups are better for the diges- tion if cooked one day and set in the refrigerator over-night for the fat to congeal. Then all fat is re- moved from the top and nothing but nutriment remains.

Windows should always be dusted before washing. Never use soap and do not clean when the sun is shin- ing on them. For best. results use hot water to which a little am- monia has been added. Rinse with clear hot water and rub dry with soft cloth.
