lived a miserable existence. Matters

iOve. Then for the first time l real
ized had met a woman truly loved.
This woman also was living an un-
happy life. Her husband was cruel to
her, and soon after | met her he de-
serted her and her two small children.
I then began to support her. We be-
came intimate. and have been so for
several years. Two years ago she OBJ
tained a divorce, and since that time
I have been providing for her and her
children. She is living in Chicago.
