CONFESSIONS OF A Wife
"Worries Over Money"

When he has ten dollars in his
pocket he is just as happy a.
though he had a hundred In the
bank and he will spend that ten
dollars on a dinner all the while
knowing that he will have NO
more money until the end of the
month.
Something must be done. We
cannot go on living in this house
of Harry Symone's and spend all
our income on other things.
cannot see what Dick does with
bis money and l am almost sure
that he is in debt or he would
have let met start again on the
partnership basis.
Anyway | have determined that
is the only way that | will go on
living with Dick as well as | love
him. l cannot be worried all the
time over bills especially when J
cannot see where the money IL
going.
Men are so generous and so un-
Just to women where money is
concerned.

with Mrs. Selwin-she would

is hopeless.

went with her to her dress
makers and she bought two beau
tiful waists and told them to send
the bill to her husband. Just as
they were making IL out | heard
her say: oh, I've left my check
book at home Will you please give
me twenty-five dollars and add il
on to the price of the waists?"
Certainly" said Madame with
discreet smile.
My friend invited me out at
luncheon and paid with some of
the money,
My food choked me as ate, for
l thought how sorry | was for
that poor woman who must stoop
to such subterfuges.
After We had lunched my friend
became little confidential and
told me that although she had
credit to almost every place in the
CITY she envied the wife of the
street laborer who came home on
Saturday night and gave his
wages to his wife so that she could
use them for the house the next
week
Sometimes, she said, q feel
as though | were only purchased
just as those other women may be
purchased for my husbands pleas
ure and convenience. The only
difference between me and those
other women who have sold them
selves into slavery is that | have
made the bargain legal and can
not break il easily"
On, Dick Dick I hope I shall
never feel this way about you.

o. am a young girl of
little experience in the realm
of love, and the little | have
had has driven me to sorrow.
L was recently engaged to a
handsome and accomplished
young gentleman and we
were the happiest of lovers
for three blissful months. In
fact, my happiness knew no
bounds. Out of it, | built a
world of sunshine and flow
ers for us both. | know he
loved me for no girl ever had
a sweetheart who was truer
or sweeter to her than he to
me.
When heard through
some gossip that he was
mixed up in a terrible crime
that had been committed
close to our town, ! began to
search diligently for more in
formation without letting
him know.
Naturally, with this on my
mind, | began treating him
differently, and when he no.
ticed it | could not refrain
but told him all | had found
out.
He did not deny it, or did
he plead for pardon, but
with these words he left me:
Nellie, | thought you trust
ed me-"
After a sleepless night I
decided to go to him and de-
mand an explanation. but to
my distress he had left town
and no one knew where he
had gone. Since then, my
world has vanished. There is
nothing of interest to me. l

sorrow as I gazed at the

emily splendof. A rather
peaceful spirit erept into me
that seemed to cover my
grief; but this was suddenly
changed. A large black
storm cloud passed over the
moon and l could not help
but liken this scene to my
life. Then as | sat there and
waited for the storm the
cloud passed away and the
moon shone again even
brighter than beforei
After that, I slept. and in
the morning I rose feeling
hopeful. | found out in just

Waiting for an early reply,
yours sincerely, r.. l..
A.-You do not state your age
or that of the woman; but ! am
inclined to believe that the feel
ing you have for her is admira-
ton rather than love. The youth
within you cries for adventure

a woman who is your senior, but

not. BE patient, and time will

love him? Or shall | wait
and hope?
Trusting for an answer
that will guide me in the
right path in this all import
ant moment of my life, sin
cerely yours. NELLIE.
A.-You were happy because
you dreamed I'm blindness, and
now that stern truth has opened
your eyes you are stunned and be-
wildered. Wait-Time will give
you clearer understanding. The
least you could have expected
was some sort of an explanation.
DO You honestly think you did
more than the young man would
have done had he been in your
shoes? DO you require more OF
him than he would of you. Most
assuredly NO. Too often men ex-
pect more of the woman they
marry than they do of them
selves. They seem to think they
can run the gauntlet of seIf-re-
spect, then wash away their sins
by marrying a pure woman and
settling down.
If at the close of a reasonable
length of time your lover does not
return. and you feel that you love
him so devOtedIy that you never
can be happy without him, per-
haps you had better write and tell
him so. Even though he knows
he is not worthy of your love he
will doubtless accept your sacri-
flee. for III you cannot live with
out him you must love him
enough to make any sacrifice.
