I HAVE received a quesflonnain h which I am asked to slate my views on why one marriage out of every six ends in divorce in this country. and to suggest a. remedy for it, 1f any.

No one knows the answer to those questions. but in my humble opinion the reason that wrecked arrlages have be. come as common as wrecked automobiles is because divorce has become fashionable. Everybody is doing it. In New York, in Palm

been murdered in a silk store. ’I'hat's very odd, isn't it?

It's so odd that I'm at my wits’ end to know where to begin my illveilikation. I thought that Lf you could give m» some information about Suchow silk I might have a Staffing 110ml». but for the life of me I don't see the connexion be- twccn silk and zecret societies.

The Professor appeared consider- ably more anrnated at the Superin- tendents perplexity.

I wonder if there isn't some connection after all. he said. But first 0f all let me tell you a story, I'm telling it to you because Nolescue you say is dead and be- cause Nolescue was inquiring in Suchow for a silk weaver named Too Li. I may be wrong. of 00113-59, ‘ he added. guardcdly, but I take it that people in your profession. Superintendent. are able to piece Fillings wketlier even if some of the pieces are mislald.

However, them is in exlstiehcg at this moment more than one Chinese Tong, or secret society. engaged in trying to discover the whereabouts of the Five Eye= of Medich-us, an ancient Eastern idol which was stolen when a famous Chinese temple in the Llangehen mountains was mllaiged by feligi. ous fanatics. The raid took place nczirly two years ago, rind when it becanic known that the jade jewel bearing so fascinating a name had dismal-sired. half the ‘Tongs in China went to war to olnaln possession of it.

In cxtcnuatioii of this I must ex- plain that actually the Five Eyes 0f Mvdlchus is a cluster of five separate Jewels. and it is believed-- and there is ample authority in Chinese religious lore for u“ belief-that each Jade Jewel repre- :ents the reclamation of ten years 0f youth for its po-sc sor. How to came about I don‘t pretend to know. but word got around that the secret of the Jewel's where- abouts was in the possession o! poor Tho Li. the silk weaver of Suchow. 'l"he next we knew was that Tao Li had been taken by one v of the rival Tongs; that he had

been tortured-and the Chinese know everything there is to know of this ancient art of extortion... . and finally murdered because of hi5 ‘ refusal to disclo e the secret. f Now one of the torturers. it is said. has sworn that Tao u, in his agonizing delirium, called. as he_ riormallymwoplg. on the spirits

Beach. in Hollywood, in Bird Center and Rabbit Track it is the smart thing to match your mate with your mood 0r your current fortunes and positions in society. Swapping partners has become the great national pastime.

Mien and women oolfect decrees absolute as they do Japanese prints or stamps. It has be- come almost as much an indication of a lack 3 ‘" of enterprise for people to stay married to the same husbands and wives as if they drove their old cars year after, year. instead of trading them in every season for the newest model, with fresh paint and all the latest gadgets. -

When all is said. Mrs. Grundy is the real arbiter of our manners and our morals. In the days when breaking the manage vow was a ‘ scandal that nobody ever lived long enough to live down. and when women looked down their noses at a divorce and "poor Maryed" her, the mismated bore whatever matrimonial ills they had rather than brave public scorn and contunefy.

Human nature being what it is. and especially the natures of hus- bands and wives having never changed since the beginning of time, nobody will contend that marriages were happier in the past than they are in the present. Grandpa was just as much given to philandering and was just as cantankerous and took as much manfl81fl8 W Bet B10118 with as does grandson. Grandma was just as nagging and high-tempered and as poor a cook as granddaughter is. But Grandpa and Grandma stood cacli other because in their day divorce was one of the things that simply wasn't done. except under extreme provocation, while their grandchildren think no more of getting rid of a. husband or wife for whom they have lost their taste than they do 0f an old hat 0r shoes of which they have tired.

Another reason why divorce is so common is because every “joy ticket." as some people call a marriage license, has virtually a. return coupon attached to it. Marriage is no longer an until-death-do-us-pari; f contract. It is an experiment . It is one of the thmGS 0n Whwh the adventurous are willing to take a sporting chance and try once. anyway-

The young who marry nowadays seldom have any intention what- cver of sticking to it unless they like it. If all their rosy dreams come

self-deniaf. too much work and worry. well. they feel they don't. have via Reno. Call it a dfly. and

try, try again. Maybe better luck next time.

How to cope with the divorces evil. nobody knows, but it would help a lot. if society would turn a cold shoulder on the woman who had as many ‘iving husbands as she has banged bracelts, and on the middle- aged man who has traded off his faithful old wife for a flailiifl‘ l0 match his new furniture. It would save the wreck of many young lives if mar- riage licenses were made to cost as much as dog licenses. and if the Justices of the Peace who marry drunks and school children were P3433194 into boiling oil. But. after all. the only way you can 800p Peollle 3mm getting divorces is to keep them from wanting them.

S0 in the end I think that the only real cure for divorce is a home- made remedy. It consists in mothers and fathers rearing their children to make the sort of husbands and wives who will be matrmonial P111" with which no one will want to part. If every mother brouflht “P h"

BRITAIN'S BLONDE VENUS

“I Definitely believe in make-up," says Rosemary Andree. Britain's blonde Venus, in an intervivew given in ltnglad. "Women should make the best ,of themselves, and the wise use of cometics is most

ance."

Owner of the most beautiful fig- ure in the British Isles, Miss Andree brings into the realms of beauty culture views that are new and interesting.

Just back from her American tour. she is well able to compare the beauties of two nations. While the American girl is more gifted in beauty culture. says Miss Andree. the Efnglish girl scores in charm and personality.

She has a make-tip hint espe- cially for the English girl. It is: don't overdo the rouge. “Iiet the accent be on the eyes and lips.’ Rouge should be put on carefully. to avoid a heated or blatant effect.

‘The appearance of the eyes can be much improved by the use of mascara oi’ the right shade, and long curling eyelashes are a great sid to beauty.

It is worth while taking great care of your teeth. brushing them well at least twice a day with a good tooth-paste. nnd visiting your dentist regularly for “tooth-in- spection."

Then “smile plenty."

Hair needs a lot of attention if it is to add to the attractiveness of a “well-dressed fncc." The more brushing you can give your hair the better.

But beauty should come from within also, my! this slim "lovely."

FISH] air and good food and the right sort of exercise all play their part in achieving this basic aim.

Miss Andree believes in a well- balancsd diet that includes plenty of fresh salads and green vege- table . meet and fish in the right proportion.

She has never gone in for star- vation diets. and does not approve of them. "Of course, my dancing keg: me slim." she explains.

other wise theory ms, Andree puts forward is this: The amount of energy put out should be equal to the amount of food tnI-zcn into the body.

"There's nothing like sleep or relaxation to preserve health and beauty." says the graceful dancer. who sleeps for an hour every afternoon before her show starts.

In the matter of slimming. too. this British Venus has many sound ideas. They are:
