"This condemns me' to the life of a spinster," mourned; Rita Coates. "I have no choice unless I wish to des- erfamy father and mother who are absolutely dependent on me." In countless U, S. cities marriage- able' teachers 'currently find, them- selves in the same fix as Rita Coates. Recently the Nationa] = Association of Women Lawyers, meeting in Los Angeles, was at pains to appear solicitous in revealing that teachers less virtuous than Rita Coatés find solutions less virtuous than hers. According to President Percilla Lawyer Randolph of the Women Lawyers, it is common practice for a teacher to divorce her husband, keep on living with him. By working fast a teacher can go through mar- ringe and divorce before her school board gets around to dismissing her. Said Felice Cohn, Nevada's only wo- man lawyer: "An appalling number of women teachers come to Nevada for. 'convenient' divorces. I'ive ot them "came on the day I left Reno. Four of them told me they wanted such divorces. Most of them intend at "some time to remarry their 'divorced husbands." Meanwhile lovesick teachers took heart from two straws in the wind: (1) In London the County Council agreed, after holding out for 12 years, to hire married women as teachers. : - (2) In Washington Dr. Caroline Ware, onetime N.R.A.

Some men, you know, dg not talk business or money matters with their wives for this 'good reason that they do not want to werry thelr wives, They may be WI'ODE. Indeed, I think in most cases they are, I have known. such men land themselves in trouble, and in many cascs that have come to my at- tention, if they had confided in their wives and trusted to their intuitive wisdom they might have been saved from floundering on 'the rocks.

The real question is--why, | because his wife happens to come | into a little money on her own, has he taken to cutting her houskeeping allowance. A woman is entitled to have a little money of her own. Be- sides, since she works for her hus- band in the home, she has also a right to her share of what ho earns, so the husband ought to allow his wife a houskeeping allowance gen- erous cnough to give her a small margin for herself. The chances are, that even that margin will bo used for the home. 1 don't wonder that my correspond- efit is beginning to feel aggrieved, but I do feel that she will never be able to do a. thing about it until she has had-a perfectly frank and open conversation with her husband. She does not scem to have had this. Perhaps her hu:band is quite uncon- scious. of doing anything wrong. He may be carrying somo burden that she knows nothing about. He may even he anxious to talk things over with her, but finding it hard. Let my friend make the approach to her husband, and let her do it in a kind, but firm and frank way, and if that does not clear the air I will be glad to hear from her again, She may have something more to tell me that will give me a clue as to the real trouble. : LI J NOTE: The writer of this column las a trained psychologist and an au. thor of several works.
