But, Immediately After the Divorce, These Two Leave to
. Spend a Few Days with a Mutual Friend,
Who Wonders What to Do About It!
By WINIFRED BLACK ^
The man and his wife were divorced this morning.
This afternoon they are going down into the country together b
spend a few days with a mutual friend.
And the mutual friend deesn't know just what to do about it.
There is plenty of room in the Mutual Friend's
home. There is that big bedroom with the old
fashioned honeysuckle atthe window and twin beds.
There is the big front room with the big double
bed, and there are two single rooms connected with
a bath.
The Mutual Friend telephoned to me about it
and I said to her. said I: ‘ What do you want to do.
help, them to stay divorced or bring them together
again?”
I told her that for my part I would put them in
the two single rooms with the connecting bath,
with the roses at one window and the yellow jasmine
at the other.
And there is a moon, and two of the ranch
hands are Mexicans, who play the guitar and sing
all kinds of crooning songs. And if the two Mex
WINIFRED BLACK icans should bring their guitars to the terrace when
the moon is full and everything is very quiet and
you can scent the apricots ripening in the orchards—well, if they are
still divorced I shouldn't try to bring about a reconciliation.
There is no terrible quarrel between the man, and his divorced wife.
There is no ‘‘Other man” and there's never been the slightest hint of

HIGHWAY WIDENED
BY GRAVEL SHOULDER
(Special to Th. Herald)
SAN BENITO. July 23. —The
gravel shoulder on the old 15-foot
sections of the highway between
here and Brownsville is being re
placed by an asphalt shoulder.
Working crews under the state
highway department are now busy
on the road, adding a foot and a
half to each side of the old pav
ing, and making it the same width
as the newer paving.
The improvement w' \ add greatly
to the safety of the highway, in the
opinion of engineers.
* Another Woman.”
But the man hates dancing and
thetheater. bores him to death. H«
can’t bear parties and he likes to
read aloud from the books he is
reading, and the books he reads
weigh a ton apiece more or lesr,
and they are all about Ancient
Man or Whither Are We Drifting.
The woman has to dance—she lust
has to dance or die. And she loves
to tie her head in a scarlet hand
kerchief and put curtain rings in
her ears and snatch the silver tniy
off the dining room sideboard and
do a Salome—just like that!
And she loves the theatre and is
a perfect fiend for parties—beach
parties with mussels steaming in a
big pot and somebody singing:
"Oh, ain't you lovin’ that sweet
abalone.”
“That sweet salt abalone— w-e-ei-l”
But the man and the woman can
not endure each other one hour
longer,, so she is going one way and
he's going the other—she with her
black hair and her black eyes ard
her batik smocks and he with griz
zled hair and his tired blue eyes
and his cynical smile.
You can't blame them very much
for that, can you?
But why on earth do they spend
week-ends together—right afte:
their divorce?
Can You figure it out? I can t.
