Children Always Complicate Divorce

Dear Miss Dix~When I was 23 1 married a woman five years my senior and _oon learned that we had nothing in common. wc never wanted to do the same things or have the same pleasures, and 1 haie stood it about as long as I can. We don't quarrel much, but. i. have ioJ- all taste for her and cannot do and say the little things that would make her happy. I know she is unhaipipy, too, though she denies "it, but she does this to save her face and keep our h.'..ne together, as we have a child 11 years old. he is good-looking and could easily get another man. I would give anything lo be married to some woman who was compatible, and I think she would also like a husband who would be more c0ri8€riiai than I am. what must we do? JOHN. Answer:

You have a charming plan for rearranging you and your wlfeis lives. You are to swap her off for some woman who is nearer to your heart's desire, and she s lo exchange you for a more a preciative husband.

It seems such a. satisfactory arrangement at it is a pity to throw cold water on the scheme by s11 esting that. there ls a hilcli in it. There is somebody you have failed to ke into consideration-the 11-year-old child that you brought into the world. What are you going to do about him? How dodyou think he is going to like the new deal? Do you think he i5 going to 1 e having no permanent home, but being i; sort of little tramp. spending his life being shifted from pillar to post between hs father's house and his mother's house? Children are funny about liking their own homes and their own things. They strike roots deep down into the home soil and they do not flourish if they are dug up and trans- planted" too often.

Do you think your boy would love his sic mother In the way he loves hi5 own mother, or that any stepfather coul take _our place with h‘m? Do you think that any other man would take the in rest. in rearing your bov into the knd of a man ou would like him to be that you would? ‘You know well enough that he divorce of parents blights eve child's life, and that is an awful price to pay for your own =elflsh happ ness.
