Legal Bartnership to Replace Marriage Sug- grested by Modern Young Man — Widow- er ‘Who Neglected Wife During Her Lifetime Arrives at Tardy Ap- .preciation_ of Her Fineness

Dear Miss Dix-I believe that marriage should be replaced by a. pic, legal, domestic partnership which could be terminated on short n-i ~ untl that the woman should continue her business career and keep

lien uWll namc. I believe that there would be much greater happiness ii the agreement under ivliicb two partners were to live together was lzzioivii lll ndrtmcc instead of their entering into a _ blind dcaih-ilo-us-part vow.

Ilerc is the sort of domestic partnership agree- ment that I would suggest:

rs

WIINESSIYTH, That, in consideration of the eoiirihuils and agreements hereinafter mentioned and to be performed by the parties hereto. and of iuc jiiiyiueuts hereinafter agreed to be made, it is mutuzillv agreed as follows:

First. The man shall establish and maintain Willi the woman suitable living quarters for both parties and offspring the. to d living quarters hereinafter called the home to be established and hhinihiiucd by moneys provided by the two parties in direct propor- tion to lllUli‘ incomes. sit-fluid. All labor of keeping the home in order which is not hired nlizlil lie divided as nearly equal as possible.

‘luirtl. 130th parties in their relations with other persons shall eon. ciuc: tueiusclvcs according to the traditional code of ethics for married PCYSUUS.

Fourth. Both parties shall at all times wear a wedding ring as In indication of this contract. -

l-‘litlh. Should there be children, the expenses shall be met by the two pin-lies in the some proportion as all other expenses of the home, cart-p‘. that the initial expense of each child, namely, doctors, nurses,‘ hospital and other services required by the child during the first three mouths of the child's liie and when the mother ls incapacitated for fol- leiviirg u gainful occupation, shall be borne in greater proportion‘ by the iurin than the woman. .

_ sixth. This contract may be terminated by thirty days’ notice by either party if ‘there are no children. If there are children, it may be kLtl‘lllli‘l£l€0d only by the mutual agreement of both parties and by the iuzzikiug of such arrangements for caring for the child or children as are :i'.l‘...\l'.lf.iOl‘y to bo'.il parties.

‘ Eighth. The penalty for airy-breach of contract shall not exceed twice the tangible financial 1cm suffered and shall be paid by the party breaking any portion of this contract to the other party.

Ninth. This contract should be signed by Richard Roe and Jane Doe, hurl instead of sending out wedding invitations they could send out cards untiouuslug: "An Experiment in Domestic Partnership.”

l. believe that this would be a far more binding arrangement than the present iuari-iiige bond. Also. that it would make marriage a long court- ship because both the husband and wife would be on their tiptoes trying to please each other.

I may sny that I am a. young man oi 23 and not in love, so it is pos- sible I may change my views later on.

who ilfilLiS in licr hand the whole sum of human happiness for you and that viuu fccl you can't live without, you won't want anytbirty-day option en You will want her for keeps and you will want in bind her to you with every tie that you can think of.

No siuie person can go into marriage without his feet turning to ice untl ltccplnl; his fingers crossed for luck, because not the wisest nor the llltut. lair-st eiiig not: the most careful nor the most experienced individual lu the v" rlzl can tell how any marriage is going to turn out.

'i‘hls what makes the theory of the trial marriage, or the temporary mun-he. . so alluring, but it doesn't work out well in real life. Its very incl»: of pcriiuiileilcy is its undoing.

You don't strengthen the walls and patch the roof and plant shrub- hcry around the house that you expect to live in for only a. few months. Iou don‘: put your heart and soul into a business that you are expecting to tlirow up any minute. And it is that way with marriage. The very lznoivletigc that they are bound together for better or worse als long as they live, make a husband and wife settle down to making the best of each other and making a success of their marriage.

But I agree with you that a marriage contract is a fine thing, and that it would save many a domestic quarrel if before marriage a man and woman had some lawyer draw up, in proper form, with all the whereases and wlicrcfores and parties of the first part and parties of the second part, a. binding legal document that would set forth in detail what each eovcnantcd and agreed to do, and in particular what part of the family income each was to receive. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear; Miss Dix-A short time ago Ilost a wonderful wife. She died at the birth oi‘ a baby girl, leaving m e with lier and a 3-year-old son. Be- iure the baby arrived I neglected my wife shamefully, left her alone night after night. She tried to make things as pleasant as possible for me the few times I did stay at home. Now that she is gone I. have only a IIOUSCRGODCF to take cure of us. l can see only too plainly the difference in my home and children. My wife always had things neat and clean and hot and tempting meals for me, whereas my housekeeper is sloppy and slovculy and a miserable cook and the babies are not getting the care they need and my little boy cries daily for his mother. I am quite sure that my wife grieved licrsclf to death over my neglect. I would give tmything 0n earth to be able to live the last four years of my life over. Why do we not appreciate things until it is too late?

A REPENTANT HUSBAND.

Answer:

Because we are stupid and selfish and take our blessings for granted and think they are not half what we deserve. Gratitude and apprecia- tion are the rarest- of all the virtues, and that is why many a woman lets her husband work himself to death to support her in idleness and luxury without so much as giving him a casual "thank you." That is why so many a. husband lets his wife make herself a doormat for him to trample on without even perceiving that she is doing it.

The woman sees nothing fine and heroic and chivalrous in henhus- hand toiling like a galleyislave to give her a fine house and a car and good cloihes. Nothing noble and self-abriegatlng in his giving her the vaca- tious and travel and going to winter and summer resorts that he never takes himself. 0n the contrary, she more often is complaining and dis-
