Noted Beauty Kicks Over
Career to Hunt a Husband
But Pretty Marion Want:
Culture, Too, So She ,
Sails for Europe
By SHIRLEY K1RKE

NEW YORK—Marion Benda has been married. She
knows what-a wife wants—and it's something you can't get out
of a career. So she has chucked a career just like she chucked
her husband and hiked herself offto Europe—to acquire a mate
with continental culture. What she thinks of marriage was
brought up at first as a jest. Then she got serious, and wrote 14 pages
of her opinion of American husbands.
It was her departing gift to Yankee swains.
Among other things she wrote: "The culturre of European men teaches them respect for women that is absent in the money-making American."
"American man has failed in marriage. His wife lives the same life he does—smokes, golf’s, and sits on a throne of Independence.
"He thinks she's a good scout, but rarely feels romantic about her.
"Nine times out of ten he is not serious about marriage. H« meets a
woman, desires her, marries her and then neglects her. The latter might
be because the American Is fundamentally honest—he can't even fool himself."
"When a European finds himself bored with- his wife he doesn't seek a
divorce immediately. He and his wlfe continue the organization of
tha home, rearing children."
"The European woman through a superior knowledge has learned the
fundamental law of womanhood—to be only a woman."
"When an American's wife seems despondent, he doesn't sympathize
with her, humor her with kind words and caresses—he hands her a
roll of banknotes."
"This Is why divorces occur. The woman feels there is someone who
cares more about her, and goes out to find him."
The pretty show girl said she hadn't any particular person in
mind for the role of husband. But she's going to look around a bit before
her vacation ends.
