,4/so working there is a woman, very beautiful, and unscrupulous. She has my husband completely bewitched.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS WHEN a man, after twenty years of marriage, gets tired of his wijfe, neglects her, hurts and insults her, and openly admits that he yvants to be freed to marry another woman, what is the wife to do? This isn’t a new problem, but the shock and helplessness of it make it seem eternally new to every woman to whom it comes. Sometimes this shock, coming to her at a bad physical moment, almost upsets her reason for a time. Such a danger seems to me very close to Emily Baker, who writes me from a big Massachusetts manufacturing, town. Emily will be fortunate if she can hold to her reason and keep her balance in the months ahead, ft* she can, I think I can promise her happiness and serenity when this by. A Quarter Century of Work. Emily is sfi; she has been married 27 years. She has a married daughter living in the West; a married son living near her, and a young daughter and son still at home. She r ried for love, worked hard as : a > g wife and mother, never had a servant until a few years ago.. For a whole quarter century she washed, cooked, dusted, made beds, dressed babies, served meals, helped school-children with their lessons, packed picnic baskets. trimmed Christmas trees. “Tom always came first with me,” says her tear-stained letter. “Dinner every rfight included something that ‘Daddy’ especially liked, the children must be respectful, considerate of him when he was tired, they must remember his birthday. They all love him dearly, as indeed I do—or did. j "My younger son, now called by the draft, is closely devoted to his mother. , But my unmarried daughter. Alida, thinks her father can do no wrong. And he is doing wrong now, my good, patient, generous husband of a x few ydars ago. Alida works in his office, and also working there is a woman some 10 years older than she, divorced, with a boy of five, very beautiful and unscrupulous. She has my husband completely bewitched. Feels Old—Useless. “He began by being irritable and unreasonable with me, and impatient because I was so nervous, tired, and sensitive. I feel myself to be old, gray, useless and homely these days, and what I see in my mirror only confirms the impressions. But I need tenderness so, and the security of my home! And those are just the things he proposes to take away. He is handsome, rosy, strong and young at and seems years younger than L ' “Tom wzfrtU a divorce. He wants to bring young wife here and have her keep bouse for him and Alida when Don goes to camp in June and I go west to visit my daughter when her baby comes. He says I am to go to Reno, stay with Betty as long as 3 I like, *visit* anywhere I choose. I cannot express to you the forlornness of this prospect without him and without any one of the children, who have been all my world for so many years! lam not a baby, lam not pitying myself, but under no circumstances could I compete io beauty and charm with a fresh girl of 28, who is flattering Tom to the point when he is a complete fool over “Alida is the sensible, practical, outspoken type., Her attitude isJtimt

Daughter's attitude is that m nobody’s happy under the present arrangement wky not it all up and try the new one?

LOST AFFECfION What would you do if your husband fell in lore with another woman? Would you give him up, or would you live a heart-breaking existence, knowing he no longer cared for you? Kathleen Norris offers a far happier solution to a woman who has to face this problem after 27 years of married life.

shp loves both parents, but that as Joan is madly in love with Daddy and Daddy with Joan, and as nobody's hapfiy .ugder the present arrangement why not break it all up and try the new one? When I cry about this, and I can’t help crying, she says, ’Oh, now. Mother, men hate women to cry! Brace up. It’ll all come Out right You wouldn’t want to hold Daddy if he wanted to be free, would you?' A I don't know what I want Shame and pain and memories of the days babies and husband loved and needed me are so mixed up in my heart that I seem half-crazy. Will you tell me what to do? Must I surrender everything these years have meant to me to ■play the game’?*' » ’ The Path to Follow. My dear Emily, playing the game in this case means continuing in your own home and your own life, ignoring what you can of insult or hurt, enduring the rest, keeping yourself as friendly as if none of these stbrms was raging over you, and showing to an ungrateful man the patience and kindness that may be obtained in only one way: the way of constant prayer. What Tom is doing, thinking, asking and planning is not your immediate concern. What YOU do, think and plan most emphatically is. See that you make the most of yourself in every way. Even a middle-aged woman can be a pleasant sight? if she is freshly and appropriately dressed; even gray hair is charming if it is brushed to silky brightness and trimly braided or curled. Your interest in books, current events, radio programs, gardens and flower arrangements, the supervision of meals, the details of club or hospital. prison or charity or orphanage responsibilities, will reflect itself in a brighter outlook on your own fortunate life. Brush aside the absurdity of a man of 53 embarking upon a new love adventure, tell Alida you will not discuss it, and Assume once and for all the dignity to which your useful and beloved years entitle you. ' Years of Harvest Time Ahead. By all means visit the married daughter afld welcome the grandchild. Make it a long visit Make much of Tom’s grandfatherhood; perhaps they will name the baby for Tom. Write Tom reports, ask Alida for news of the household — in short proceed as nearly as you can along normal lines. Another few months or a year at most will see your physical and mental crisis ended, and you will be in for years of health and activity and high spirits. The fifties are wonderful yeajs; to a woman fike yourself, who has earned the right to spend her leisure in the ways she likes best they are a golden harvest time. But to weather this particular time, you must steel yourself to bear your husband's selfish inconsideratendss.f" He will come back, and you will forgive him. And if the crystal vase of those egrly years of trust and devotion has been broken, it is for yog to show the world that the cracks weren’t very serious, that they could be mended, and that you meant it when you said, ’way back in 1914, “for, better or for worse."
