it meant to you and your future life.
You would not salve your con-
science with the idea that it is a mat
ter too trivial to talk about and that
would not be hurt about it if l were
not all tired out and nervous.
''To me, Dick, it is a tragedy, for I
know that never again will l believe
in you implicitly. l shall be always
asking myself: Does this sound
true?' is there any reason why he
should tell me something that is not
true or keep from me something that
is true?'
81 expect, little book, if I were to
say to Dick what l have been writing
here he would say that my nerves
were paying me false, and that was
making mountains out of molehills.
But l am sure that many a married
man could find Just what am telling
you engraven on the heart of his wife.
"She DOESN'T tell it to him, for he
belittles her hurt,
''She doesn't tell her friends or
family, for her pride fOTbids her to let
them know that her husband has
broken trust with her.
"And am just like the rest, little
book-I met Dick half way when he
inquired about my health; told him
I was very tired and did not refer to
the matter of his going out with the
Morris at all. Imade up with him

When Dick came home last night to
dinner he acted as thought nothing
had happened. He asked very particu-
larly about my health, however; said
he knew I was tired out and nervous
and hoped could get away soon to
visit ,Eliene, as l looked pale and
tagged. ..-
wonder why paan always thinks
that when his. wife voices her annoy
ance or hurt at his conduct he al
ways attributes it, not to his own
wrong doing, but to her physical con-
dition?
You would not talk this way if
you were not all unstrung over the ILL
ness of Jacks wife and Eliene's troy
BILE" said Dick to me after had told
him that he had killed my faith in
him.
The whole episode may be just as
he told it. He may have intended to
go to dinner and spend the evening
with his men friends. The telephone
from the Morris may have come later
and he may have excused himself
from his friends and, met the Nor
ris' for the evening. All this may have
been perfectly true, but the fact re-
mains that when l asked him if he
had a good time with his men friends
he said "Yes," allowing me to infer
that he was with them all the even
ing. and he would have never told me
about the trip in the Morris motor
had I not learned it from over the
telephone.
ct is a dreadful thing you have
done, Dick dear, and 1 am not sure
it is not worse for you than for me.
You have taken the faith and abso-
lutte confidence in your integrity of
loving woman and thrown it away on |
an evenings pleasure with people |
who care very little for you and for
whom you care less.
