hncSt AtVA ioDS SuhO, Uut CuulU
not go at once with my hus-
band. I returned homo, and
he went to his work in an
other place. I settled up
my affairs and went to him
seven weeks later, expect
ing to be happy; but find he
has been taking another
woman to theaters, and was
out late at night with her.
She got to caring 80 much
for him that she said she
would have to leave IL she
could not have him, and Of
fered him money II he would
marry her. He could talk Of
little else when I first came.
She has gone away but
writes him. He ia good and
kind, but it seems I cannot
live with him, for II he has
the chance ! don't e why
he wouldn't do the same
thing again. He says he has
done no harm. and had a
right to do as he did, as we
had never lived together.
He says he don't care for
her. He Is very particular
about me, and / think he had
no business to act that way.
He Is middle age and ought
to have some sense. Please
tell me what ! ought to do.
IN TROUBLE.
A. I don't care what the wom-
an did, there is no Reuse for him,
and he don't deserve that you
treat him well at all-but how
few of us deserve the good we
get? II he has enough manhood
in sight to be decent, there is
some chance for happiness yet;
but IL he thinks ne did the right
thing by you, he is at present too
blind for you to show him what
real home life is, and you might
just as well settle 1t now.
The point isn't that he mis-
treated you; but that he outraged
all man and, womanhoOd, and
doesn't care to be decent. 1
wouldn't want to undertake his
education in this line.
Dear Miss Grey : I hope
you will have a good advice
to give me, for a lady friend
of mine. / am much inter-
ested in her. Her and her
husband were in business
n~n arI 4aslAl Hn drnvnk
and ran around with others,
and she worked night and
day to pay her bills. She d.
vorced him.
She works in a place where
1t is not proper for a lady to
work, and where there are
only men. l know she is
lonesome and she Is from the
east and only out here a
short time, and don't know
many. You know it is hard
for a woman to be respected
who works in a place like
this. She is a good woman,
but you know, Miss Grey, the
best of them will fall. Tell
me what influence to S to
get her to quit this place. She
is going around with a man
now who don't amount to
anything; but she never goes
TO cafes, nor drinks. Thank
ing you, H. B. d.
A.-YOu are mistaken. / do
NOT know that the best women
will fall. / know the BEST
WON'T DO ANYTHING OF THE
KIND. This woman is making
her living the best she can, and
you admit she IL not q bit fast. /
want to tell you that 1t is not hard
for q woman to gain the respect of
men of any class II she conducts
herself properly and is honest.
The men will take off their hats
to her every time.
1t is very nice for you to be-
friend her, but you are not doing
that when you carry a mental pic
ture Of her IN the clutches of
vice. Renovate your own garnet.
Why should I tell you how to
influence her to give up her po-
sitiOn when she may walk the
streets for weeks hunting an
other? Be a friend, but let her
alone about things that are her
business, not yours.
Dear Miss Grey: I am a
