JOYS ANU SORROWS OF MATRIMONY Att uns anticipated, hastily contracted marriages entered into under the stress and ex citement of war, are breaking up at a frightening rate. Miss Norris points out that it is part ly the responsibility of parents, who have failed to impress upon their children the seri ousness of matrimony, and the necessity for various adjust ments by both partners. The misery and heart-break of these divorces can hardly be calculated, Miss Norris says. Young lives are often perma nently wrecked, because those who have once failed to find happiness in the married state the first tim e are frequently unable to make a success of a second marriage. The early scars remain, and doubt and distrust arise easily. Our parents and grandpar ents understood the problem of marriage better, in many ways, than we do. They en tered it determ ined to make a go of it, come what would. G raceful P rin cess.
