By DOROTHY DIX

TGET a great many fearful let
tiers from women who say that
their husbands are a-weary of
them, and wish to be rid Of them.
These wives write that their hus-
bands are brutally frank. and tell
them to their faces what burdens
they are, how they hate them, and
how they long for death, or di-
vorce.
One woman writes: "My husband
says that he must certainly have
been drunk when he picked me out
for a wife, Another woman says
that her husband is always Won
dering why some kind friend didn't
put him in a lunatic asylum when
he announced that he was going
to marry her. Still another says
that her husband is always saying
that if he hadn't been fool enough
20 tie up with her he could marry a
rich widow.
What She Should Do.
After relating these insults, and
telling how they are neglected and
mistreated by their husbands, these
women wind up their letters by
saying: What shall do? Shall
leave my husband or not?"
That depends on whether a wom-
an has the soul Of an outstanding
human being, or of a dog. To any
woman with one drop Of free, in
dependent blood in her veins, or
one shred of self Prospect in her
character, there should be no such
question. She would have packed
her trunk and left at the very first
intimation that her husband no
longer wanted her, and felt her
burden upon him. One can no more
understand a woman lingering
along as a palpably unwelcome wife
than one can understand a woman
continuing to remain at a place
where she knows herself to be an
unwelcome guest.
That a wife would stay on with a
husband who is tired of her and
who wants to be rid of her is the
more strange, because she is in
such bad situation that nothing
could be worse. Whatever ills she
might fly to would be less endura-
BILE than those she suffers.
Certainly, to sensitive woman
there can be no torture worse than
to live in the close relationship of
marriage with a man who hates
her; to be forced to note his averted
glances; to know that he begrudges
her even the very bread she eats
and the clothes upon her back.
The Wise Woman.
Her only chance for happiness, or
even peace of mind, under such cir
cumstances is to go away where
her heart will not be stabbed daily
by cold looks, where she will be free
of insults and reproaches, and
where she can live her life in quiet
and self-respect, as she can not do
as an undesired wife.
If a man has money the law will
force him to provide for the wife
he wishes to discard. AS a matter
of fact, he will be willing to pay
out good money 10 get rid of her,
and if the woman is wise she will
put aside sentiment and come down
to brass tacks and drive a hard
