NEW YORK. Make marriage more difficult. This is the way to promote matri monial happiness, says Miss Lucille Pugh, lawyer, who has appeared in scores of divorcee cases in 12 years practice here. Miss Pugh says: Marriage without love is legalized prostitution. Fewer impulsive marriages would mean fewer divorces. Reducing the grounds for divorce to adultry invites law-breaking. Although there are more divorces than there were, it does not mean more unhappiness, but simply that divorce no longer is a disgrace. “There should be laws making it illegal to marry until a certain time after engagement,” thinks Miss iPugh. “This would give a cooling off ‘period and many improperly mated people would never marry. Uniform state laws providing a year’s lapse i before remarriage after divorce should be adopted. Federal divorce laws cannot be passed, for marriage and divorce are functions of the state.”
