Wife Questions Court* Interposed Mrs. Myrtle G, Hopkins, thirty-seven, the disappointed wife: •AiiiA what am 1 to do after the two and one-half years. I have my mother to support and 1 don't know whether i jever will jgjh a Job again.*4 "You might have thought of this before and treated your husband as a wife should who has the right con ception of marriage," cut short the judge. "If you had trusted your husband," the court continued Its lecture "If you had not tortured hits with your Jealousies, he wouldn't have started this divorce action. He bravely bore up for five years, virtually the entire length of, your married life, until he could do so no longer and rebelled." Several of Mfs. Hopkins' women friends In the courtroom gasped ^audibly when the Judge, with a refe'rence to Mr. Hopkins' occasional Indulgences in a glass or two of beer, -concluded that "probably it was Mrs. Hopkins' conduct that drove" him to drink." On "a Breath of Beer." "A breath of beer on a man Is not enough to suspect him of overindul genee," Judge Braun declared. "If the court accepted that argument1 not a marriage in the city would stand up." Testimony on which the ju .1 m ba sed his fln(Jing„of cruelty by means othei than physical violence, "in an accumu tlon of trivial things, as tn the Cudah.v case," depicted Mrs. Hopkins as a woman who was most unhappy If she could not contact her husband at any moment. "When I went to the barber shop and came back after half an hour with a haircut and shave she wanted to know where 1 had been so long," Hop kins said. "I might be out in the sticks somewhere at the top of a tele phone post, and upon calling my office be advised my wife had called up T thought maybe her mother was dying, and upon, rushing home would find everything peaceful except my wife, who merely wanted to know my whereabouts. • "One night I came home and she told me to look In my coat pocket 1 looked and found a couple of hairpins. She wanted to know how they go? there and 1 couldn't tell her. Then, she told me somebody telephoned her to lobk In my pocket when I came home. Looks like somebody played a practical joke, but taj wife couldn't see It that way." St. Paul, Minn., August 22, 1935 "Tomorrow, I myself may be with yesterday's seven thousand years." This is just a quotation from Omar, my favorite philosopher. So let us live today, and rejoice that, we, who are surviving, are "at bat." I have enjoyed hearing from, and about old friends. We seem to know each other. In fact, well acquainted. It is but a step from today, back to yesterday, and you Old Timers are still young to me. We would not know each other if we were to meet. Let's forget the years that intervene since we wtere agile, hopeful young men and women. Write for the Old Timers Club, even if it is only to iet your old friends know that you survive, and tell us about yourself and family. The letter from Carl Ross telling blame.
