By KATHLEEN NORRIS A L L the tim e he is aw ay and for six m onths after he gets home, it ought to be m ade illegal for a sol d ie r’s wife to ask for a di- vorce. If we had had a law like th a t for the last four years, hundreds of A m erican hom es would have been saved. And as the saving of the A m erican hom e is as im portant as the saving of A m erica, this would have been a wise law. PATIENCE AND AFFECTION Naturally it is difficult for a returned veteran to slip right back into familiar civilian life again. He has had all sorts of hardships and painful experi ences. His nerves are raw from danger and discipline, or perhaps a siege in the hos pital. II hen he comes back, expecting his wife to be ready to soothe him and make up for all the misery, he is fre quently disappointed. She probably has had a hard time of it, trying to man age on a small allotment, or working part time. Housing shortages, food rationing and other homefront problems had worn her down. There may be children to care for after a tiring day at work. No wonder she is not quite as sweet and young as he antici pated. All too often these disil lusioning homecomings end in divorce. Quick tempers and frayed nerves bring on quar rels of various sorts. The only remedy seems to be in separa tion. Hasty action quite often causes lifelong heartbreaks, where a little patience and af fection would soon solve the problem, says Hiss Norris. Soldiers are subject to hundreds of laws, some good, some petty; they must obey them all or suffer humiliating and painful penalties A man doesn’t ask to get into the service, he is drafted; It may mean the loss of an arm or a leg. or of his eyes, but he has no choice. It may mean that he comes back from years of service to discover that the sweet and gentle woman of whose love he has been dream ing has taken on another lover, that she wants a divorce, that the babies whose little crumpled snap-shots he has been treasuring through many an hour of danger and loneliness, are to be his babies no longer; he has lost home, wife, children at one blow. But he has lost much more than that. His morale receives a dead ly stroke. He is tired, disillusioned, perhaps embittered, perhaps sick ened and saddened by the long bout with death, by the sight of crushed bodies and torn limbs. Of course he doesn't come home the sunny. unanalytical. easy-going young fellow who went away. Of course he needs great doses of af got her divorce and the care of two fection and silence and patience, small girls.
