DEAR JANE JORDAN—When I got my first pair of long trousers I met the girl. For over 25 years she has proved to be my heaven, my hell, my guardian angel, my Eve. After a hectic romance we finally eloped and headed into a stormy marriage followed by a baby, a divorce and the beginning of the depression. Ann worked when she could get it, I worked part of the time. When I couldn't find work I got disgusted and took to hanging around a tavern where I picked up a girl named Dot. It didn’t mean a thing at first, then it drifted into more. My wife lost her job and became ill. I slept on park benches. Dot offered me money and in scme way we drifted until we were living together. I got work finally and Ann got a good job, but I was so obligated to Dot I couldn’t break away especially after .she, too, became ill. I saw my wife constantly, but she didn’t know about Dot. Ann had a fine education, came from a fine family, and Dot was

the tracks. If I dropped her flat, I know she would go back to the gutter where we met. I didn’t have the courage to face the fact that Ann and the baby were my sole obligation. Then Ann found out about Dot and divorced me. Six months later I married. Dot. She has been a good wife. She is devoted to me but I have paid dearly for my straying feet. I am fond of Dot but Aun is the only woman I ever will love. Everything is ashes without her. She has never remarried and has a hard time being mother and father to our child. I give her what money I can "and that causes friction with Dot. I have kept my real feeling from Dot but feel that I cannot go on. 1 have begged Ann to come back to me but she tells me I must first prove my stability before she will take a second chance. Just where is my real obligation, to the mother of my child or to my present wife? SORRY. ” ” ” Answer--Perhaps Solomon could have old you what to do. I cannot. The one perfectly clear cut obligation about which there is no doubt whatever is your obligation to your child who deserves your support. You first wife is an adult and must accept her share of «the responsibility for your divorce. Your second wife knew you had a child and can present no legitimate ob-
‘ jection to your support of the child. Whether you could be completely]

After you had been sufficiently rebuked and doubted might you not go back to Dot for comfort? : Neither I‘nor anyone else is wise enough: to figure out a rearrangement that would be perfectly satisfactory to three of you, two uf you, or even one of you.
