Wife Learns to Lose She Didn't Care Who Saw Her Cry, : Things Like That Had Stopped ‘Mattering
By JIM LUCAS, Secripps-Howurd Staff Writer - TOKYO, Oct. 26—The girl wasn't quite 20 and she was scared. She didn't care who knew it. Things like that stopped mattering when he died. The crying child tugging at her han@ probably was her chief reason for living. Only she wished someone
you need help. ® She didn't want to talk, least of all to reporters. Her kind of grief isn’t the kind that can be shared. What this girl needed was her mother. And mother was 7000 miles away, “I wish. 1 was dead,” she said. She spoke to no one in particular. But you knew she meant it. The wife of a colonel on her way to the security of her home, started to cry. “Child,” she said. “can't I help? Can't I look after the little one?” > SB» THE OTHER just nodded. Then she seeme

to understand what she had heard. For the |

The mother was already asleep, She woke up suddenly. “Darlene!” she shouted, and then remembered, “Has she been much trouble?” she asked. I really'am sorry. I shouldn’t impose on you this way, You've been so nice.” ” » » » »
” THE COLONEL’S wife smiled.
“The child's asleep,” she said. “And she’s been sweet. We're
friends. I'm a mother, too, even though mine are all grown up and married, She told me about you. She talked about her daddy, too. You're very lucky.” ’ ° The girl didn't say anything for a while. Then: “You don’t really mean that, of course.” “Indeed, I do,” said the colonel's wife. “You've been a soldier's wife. Soldiers’ wives have lost their men as long as history has been written. It isn't fair or right, But that's the.sway it ‘is; Whatever killed him might have killed someone else. And sup-
pose it had killed someone whose woman didn't have a Darlene?” |

He does nothing more dangerous than drive to bis office every morning. But I was a lleutenant’s wife once. I'm one of the lucky ones, There were no wars then.” The girl began to cry. : “I am an old fool,” the colonel’s wife said. “You're not, really,” the other wife sald. “You're very nice and I'm ever so much obliged. Only you'll never know . . “I'll never know,” the colonel's wife sald. “You're right, child. I'll never know.”
