The Confessions
- of a Wife c

'Margiei Margiel you cannot
know the utter lonlinsss that
comes to a woman who loses her
husband after she has lived with
him for years 1t is like tearing
the roots of your life right out
and throwing them upon some
heaTed-up stones 70 die.
You keep saying to yourself.
Its all over and you try to
comfort yourself with affirming
that you have had the living and
loving, and that that is all that
anyone can ask. You find your
self thinking of hopes you have
always felt would come to frui-
ton that are now absolutely
blasted.
Having no children, as I,
Margie, you think why should you
buy this or that beautiful thing
that you have always hoped to
have before you die; IL will only
then perhaps no one else care
for it.
Your food chokes you because
you remember he used to enjoy
it, too.
when you put on a new gown
or hat, and you know you look
well, tears fill your eyes until
you cannot see, and you think
what does ii matter; no one who
cares for your good looks will
| see.
when Il rains, you shudder
at the thought of him lying out
there, so cold and STILL and when
the sun shines and the trees
whisper, your heart aches and
aches because you know that he,
who loved IL all so ardently, can
never enjoy it again.
when you close your eyes at
night, your only wish is that in
Dreamland you will see his dear
face, clasp his hand, hear his
voice; and when you wake, your
first feeling is, Il wish it were
night again
"Margie, the only consolation
for all this is that some one needs
you; that you can make some
ones life happier. You, dear,
are so competent to take care
of yourself that know you
don't need me, and Mary does.
i am going back to the old house
with her as soon as she is able,
and we are going to pack up
enough things to furnish a flat,
and | will help her all l can"

into tears as l saw my castles in
Spain come tumbling about my
head.

dear childr" asked Aunt Mary,

Nothing" l answered. Help
Mary all you want to, dear, dear
Aunt Mary; but, oh! don't love
her quite as much as you do me,
for l love you as much as i did
my own dear mother, and | cant
share you with anyone"
As | said this l had a sinking
feeling in my heart, for I knew
that we almost always love best
