"K flTARRIAGE is like the movies" said one young
lf war-bride-Reno -divorcee. "You can go into
A. V JL the show and if you don't like it you can get
up and go out"
War-brides figured in forty per cent of last year's
Reno divorces ending marriages of haste and passing
excitement 1
Tn nearly half our states it is not even necessary to
register a marriage.
And look at our divorce courts!
In a single year the divorces granted in America
were more than double the number in twenty European
countries combined. We have forty-eight separate
divorce laws one for every state.
Did you know that if you marry a divorced man, you
can later be named as his corespondent?
That at the beginning of a trip you may be a man's
wife and at the end not his wife?
That if you take 3rour children out of the state they
may become illegitimate?
That you can be the legal wife of two men, of either
of them, or of neither at the same time?
That at the same time you can be both single and a
bigamist?
Helen Ring Robinson's discussion of marriage and
divorce discloses some amazing, ludicrous and tragic
results of our chaotic divorce situation. She gives a
graphic pen portrait of Reno, the divorce-boom town,
what it is and what it does.
Read her revealing, thought-provoking article. It
contains facts that no American woman should be
ignorant of. Don't miss
"Taking the cure at Reno'5
