"IS SEPARATION
Joan and Harry, of When A Girl Marries, face this difficult problem — what would be your answer to it?
Joan and Harry Davis have reached a crisis in their lives — a point at which they must decide whether the better course is to stay together, which will mean denying their children the advantages they have always felt they must have, or to separate for a short time, until Harry's business situation improves.
That they must "separate in order to remain together" arises from the fact that the logical place for Joan and the children to go is to Mrs. Field, Joan's wealthy mother. Although Mrs. Field disinherited Joan when she married Harry, she is now willing to take her daughter and her grandchildren in — but she. makes a point of the fact that of course Harry cannot come along. Harry, unable to get bis law practice back to normal since he had amnesia a year ago will go to stay with his brother, Tom Davis, until he can get the practice back on its feet or find a job of another sort. The separation of Joan and Harry is purely a practical one, one which seems the best — the only solution — to their present problem.
What do you think — do you feel that separation is ever the answer to such a domestic problem? Are Joan and Harry making the wise choice in putting the welfare of the children ahead of their own feelings — for, of course, they would much prefer to stay together. Or do you think they should consider their own feelings first? Viewing the question from broader point of view — not just in Joan and Harry's case, but from any angle: is separation ever the answer?
