To the Editor of the "Norra-Curna Dairy News."
Sin,—After reading your article on "Marriage and Divorce through Soviet Eyes" I fell to thinking of the difficulties that would have to be faced in working out the idea. It struck me the whole thing might be such an awful muddle.
Just fancy our friends changing their names nearly every fortnight. Our morning greeting to them would be "Good morning, what is your name to-day?" The Hong List would have to come out in good time, or think of the appalling consequences of using an old one and inviting to the same dinner the people who most wanted to avoid each other. And again, when Mrs. Smith would be ''furnished with food" by her ex-husbands, the first might send coffee, the second milk, the third toast and so on, if the second and third were less punctual than the first, the result would be an unhappy breakfast.
But why pull down only one wall that society has laboriously built up for the comfort and enjoyment of mankind. Let us "go the whole og."
For instance, when leaving the X—restaurant at 4 o'clock in the morning, if one's finances are deficient, why not step into the first waiting motor car, slay the "car foo," drive home and lose the ear in the nearest ditch.
Tf your washerman doesn't iron your shirt properly, just throw him Out of the window, it may then be ironed better next week.
But the idea would, of course, have to work both ways.
If the Chinese coolie (mentioned in yesterday's paper) who dined not wisely but too well, came to take your cash box (or your wife) "by mistake"—I smile as I write this word—vou must try and look him with Soviet eves and show him out of the front door with a benediction.
