"Mary Marie" is a quaint and vivid personality, the daughter of a serious -minded college pro fessor and his light-hearted, rather frivolous wife. Mary Marie cannot understand at first what divorce means and she sets down in her diary tha comments she overhears: "A divorce is a knife that cuts a knot tMt hadn't ought to ever been tied," said one. "A divorce is a jump in tbe dark," said another. "A divorce is the comedy of the rich and the tragedy of the poor." aid a little man who wore glaseea. "Divorce is a guidepost marked heB to heaven, but lots of folks miee the way, just the same, I notice," spoke up somebody with a chuckle. "Divorce is a coward's retreat from the battle of life."
