The situation of the cultured man married to an uneducated giri is not a new one,
Writer after writer has tried his hand at it some treating the theme เอกส along tragic and others romantic-sentimental lines. Gover neur Morria, the author of "Ary. body's Woman," has seen it at a fresh.angle because he never ranges himself entirely on the side of either husband or wife.
