The Secret of It
"Rita"—so Mrs. Desmond Humphreys, the English novelist, is called—was condemning in New York the frequency of divorce in America.
"You Americans," she said, "don't seem to possess the secret of matrimonial happiness. Perhaps you might take a lesson from a city clerk I heard of recently.
"A friend of this clerk's, after visiting him at his home, said: 'Excuse me, Will, but how do you manage, on your small salary, to have such well cooked and delicious meals?'
"'The secret is simple,' Will replied; 'every day I kiss the cook and do all I can to please her and make her happy.'
"'But doesn't your wife object?' the other asked.
"'Dear no—she's the cook,' was the reply."
