(G ran ts Pass C o u rie r) • The Chicago attorney representing Mrs. Miriam Noel Wright in her suit for divorce from her archi­ tect husband, Frajpk Lloyd Wright, wakes the sage dbservation that “ there are a lot more romances kept quiet than the public is aware o f.” Whether or ijot there is any more romance in the Wright family ifnbroglio than the public is aware of, as a general* tl1.0 attorney is undoubtedly correct "W ithout question there are romances galore that never get into the newspajwrs. In our capacity as an humble laborer in the newspaper vineyard tr^* ing to give the public what it wants within reason w e are inclined to be rather glad of it. A little romance now and then serves as a satisfactory relish to the d a y ’s news, but too much of it becomes wearisome. ’ • At the present time there are indications that, if the public interest in romance isn ’t near the sat­ uration point, it ought to he. There is the Wright romance just flowering, the Aimee Semple McPlier- son romance beginning to stale a little, the Daddy Browning and Peaches romance promising a long ran, the Hall-Mills romance bobbing up every now and then. Besides there are echoes of some of the Old romances to keep us reminded that romance is not of a single time or place or people. Such are the occasional reminders of the Thaw romance and the Stillman family romances-. Un the whole we should say that the public hasn’t suffered much for want of romance. What it doesn’t know a I o u t the «ntfisclosed romances of the world won’t hurt * »• -> t ' m A iw r ^ A W R i ö H T .
