back her love. and respect, after it
Nhas been forfeited, even to the

Ecan pardon, but not forgive for the
Easake of her children.
A child should be the tie that

A wife should not pardon drunk
Raness, desertion, INCONSISTENCY or

" The wife should not overlook
wrongs, as they are considered
any more so should the husband

Editor, The Press-In answer to
the question stated in the paper,
think that if woman really loved
4 her husband she would forgive
whatever he did; yes, even if he
took her chewing gum, she would
/ forgive him
Husband and wife are in the
q same position, for he should over
look her wrongdoing if she over
looks. If love ruled throughout
the household there would be very
] few wrongs to forgive by either
s man or woman. A. F., 02923 Louisa
