DIVORCE THE CLIMAX.


In answer to your serial of Warren
and Helen. Do they act like real
people, No. but they act like lots of
people do. Is this true of life? Yes.
But not the true life TO live. Warren
is a self-willed. stubborn, Overbearing
husband. He took Helen for his life
partner. Why don't he use her that
way? When he comes home from his
work, be glad to see her. She is
lonely and likes his company. Sit
down and tell of the days happen
ings, take little Winifred a while, and
show a fathers love. II don't make
any difference if he is tired. If he
cares for his family, as a man ought
To, he will not tire of them. 1t will
help TO rest him. Then he will have
plenty Of time to read his papers. II
Warren was half as good, and kind
as Helen, they would live happy.
Helen is a kind, loving, affectionate
and forgiving wife and mother. l
don't think they will live together all
through life unless Warren changes
to show more love for his family. If
they do continue TO always live the
way they are L pity Helen.

TROUBLES ARE LOGICAL.

In my opinion Warren is the one
who is TO blame. Why should Helen
be the butt of all his bad temper and
selfishness?
If he had shown that grOuchy dis
position before marriage, there is no
doubt in my mind, that there would
have been no marriage between War
rem and Helen.
If she had married a man that had
treated her differently. say with the
common courtesy he would extend to
his sister. Helen would have been an
ideal wife.
In blaming Helen, it seems TO me
that people are forgetting the supreme
law which governs all things, that
of cause and effect. Helen's nervous
manners are only the effect Of War
ren's brutal behavior toward her.
lie would not treat Della as he
does Helen. He would not dare to.
If he did not want her To leave and
he would feel like Rocking any man
head off who would use his sister in
the same way that he uses Helen.
I am sure Helen would appreciate
the courtesy OF being called by her
name, instead of just you.

I think Helen found her marriage
a mistake Her parents have humored
her until she is very badly spoiled.
Helen finds life as a spoiled child
usually finds il a very unhappy one.
Helen finds Warren a wolf in sleeps
clothing. With sweet words he won
her love, and after marriage he
clinched down on her with grinding
teeth. which was a disappointment to
Helen. She finds she has husband
who is a good provider but with dis
position of a hyena. Helen is not al
lowed the privilege to claim her own
heart. Warren thinks TO be a hus-
band and father he must he disagree
able and domineering. 1 think Helen
would have been happier if she had
married her former sweetheart.
Helen would make some man
very good wife. one that knows how
to appreciate her. Warren is too
much Of a sport and stiff to appre
ciate a good home-loving wife. He
is too selfish. the pleasures are for
him only. Warren wants "A wife with

It's family and know the story will do
much good to the people that are
reading it. because now if the hus-
band should feel a little out of sorts
and "act up all the wife will have
to do will be to say. Warren" and
if the wife should cry at some little
annoyance all the husband will have
&c do is TO say Helen" Then who
wouldn't laugh? Nothing like seeing
ourselves as others see us. Now. who
is TO blame for the Curtis family
troubles. | think they both are. At
times my heart has gone out in sym
pathy for Helen when Warren would
speak so gruff to her; and then again
l have lost patience with her because
she didn't use a little tact with both
Warren and his people. When she
was annoyed by Carries little boy
playing SO roughly with the kitten
why didn't she say. Roy. rub kitty's
fur and see how smooth it is! Don't
it feel like silk" BY doing that way
Roy would soon be treating kitty kind
ly and she would have saved all this
trouble again with Carrie, if she had
just used a little tact. ] have found
myself at times getting angry with
Warren for being so selfish. He has
loved and won the prize, and is happy
or contented in his own conceit
wrapped up so much in himself that
he don't realize that his wife is starv-
ing for a little affection. Helen loves
much but not too much, but shows il
too plainly, a love pat and a kiss once
in a while will do. She should use
more tact. When she found tears had
no effect on Warren than water on a

Tression), she should try some other
way. Try to have him forget himself
by doing little things for her. If we

In my opinion, Warren is. certainly
the party who is to blame for the do
mestic unhappiness in the Curtis
household. He is too selfish and mar
row minded TO respect the wishes of
others.
While Helen is very indulgent and
very sentimental. and doesn't appre-
Ciate humor as some. she is a good
and loving wife and mother. but even
though she has plenty TO eat and nice
clothes 10 wear. women of Helen's ma
ture aren't content without their hus-
bands love.

ems in real life. and | am positive the
only way TO deal with Warren is for
Helen 10 just surprise him by giving
him a very good calling. which / be-
lieve even Helen, faithful. loving as
she is, will learn 10 do soon.

blame Warren. Helen is far more
happy with him just as he is than she
would be with silly loving type. He
is a thorough gentleman. Helen
should be and is proud that she has
such. a noble husband. It seems to
me she IS to blame for all her trouble
