Get ADivorce On The Ground Of Mental Cruelty For Uncongeniality Has Become The Great And the Racket In Marriage A large proportion of divorces are granted on the ground of mental cruelty Husbands and wives get upon each nerves with their little habits and mannerisms A wife can not bear the way her husband gargles his soup A- husband is bored to tears by his babbling The party of the first part has to live in Washington on account of his business The ENCOURAGING THE DECLARER TO PLAY FOR OVERTRICKS CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE Levering took the photographs to compare them with the one in his possession MI see Yes this ie you and your husband Edward the son of John and the father ot young John Herbert Now Mrs Haskel suppose you tell me about your life alter you were married to Edward Haskel in Greenville Kentucky By the way you have your marriage certificate have Silently Ann produced two 'marriage certificates from the box hit is mister tharis Grace's While the lawyer examined the documents and compared them with hie notes the two backwoods women took advantage of the opportunity to exchange significant Nance frightened and protecting Ann scowling a silent command for her companion to keep out of whatever It was that waa going on urnTng Returning the certificates party of the second part prefers to live in California A married couple have not the aame tastes in politics or pia John Sprat can eat no fat his wife can eat no lean And these differences of temper and temperament are alleged to inflict such sufferings upon men and women that it entitles them to break their marriage vows wreck their homes and half-orphan their children Just as it is good policy for the declarer to play for his contract and forget about overtricks when the attempt to make extra tricks involves a risk of being set so It is tbe business of the defense to lure him into breaking this nils when the play for overtrlck seems likely to lose On to-day's bend the South player became the declarer at a contract of four hearts which should have been made with the greatest of ease West playing ths defense at one stage of the proceedings made a vary misleading play which mada South suddenly think that ha could maka five In ths effort to do this tha South player suddenly got all tangled up and found himself not even fulfill West'a discard he had a battel chance of not being ovarruffad on tha third round of dube than on tha third round of diamonds Ha accordingly led tha tea of clubs and trumped with the heart six In hia own hand and West promptly overtrumped for tha setting trick Of course luul South trumped the club with tha high heart twice guarded seven spot would have provided the setting trick There is very little excuse for South's going down on this hand but ha could not possibly have dona so had West not given him the opportunity by tha clever refusal to overtrump TO-MORROWS HAND South dealer Neither aide vulnerable 4 14 4 9 10 I II 4 AQ A 5 I 7 0 7 4 A 10 I 2 'A I Ainu This hand be discussed fi to-morrow's article Mr Culbertson will bs very glad to answer questions on ridge Please enclose a stamped (3-cent) self-addressed envelope and address your question to Ely Culbertson In care of thia newspaper ing hie contract Ni orth dealer Both aides vulnerable A 10 4 2 0 A 1 I AK 10 It must surprise many a good kind generous man who has never raised his hand to his wife save to bestow gifts upon her to find hint-self accused of being a brute who has mentally beaten her black and blue by not wiping his feet on the doormat when he came in or by not wanting to step out to a night club after a hard day's work Equally it must be amazing to many a woman who has spent twenty-five or thirty years slaving for her husband and catering to all his whims to discover that she has inflicted agonies not to be borne on him by getting fat and middle-aged But such are the risks that married couples face in these days when this spouses can drag them into the divorce court for assault and battery mentally committed and who never know whether they are giving a good performance as husband or wife or are pinch-hitting for a torturer But the mental cruelty divorce charge which gets away with mental murder causes one to wonder about many things One Is why psople are so much more critical of those to whom they are married than they are of any one else?
