Give come to a place
i'm my life where l can't de-
eide what TO do, so would
you please give me some of
your advice.
am a girl of 20. was mar
ried when Is TO a man nine
years older than myself. We
thought a great deal of each
other, but after our baby
was born he neglected me
and failed to provide me
with any clothes or scarcely
any food. while he wore
tailor-made clothes and look
ed prosperous. After two
years of married life he left
me destitute with a house to
pay on.
l had never worked before,
but ! found a place and moth
err took care of the baby.
never had any recreation,
but managed somehow to
make the payments on the
house and pay for our board.
All that time, | received
few letters at rate intervals
and money amounting to 60
or 20 dollars.
My brothers and mother
called him a cur and said no
matter what happened
should never live with him
again. | filed an application
for divorce and was just GO
ing to receive my decree
when he showed up, made up
with mother and wanted me
to go back. but still he con-
siders everything my fault.
My love for him has died,
but still | thought could
live with him and be happy
for the child's sake.
My love for him has died,
but still I thought I could
This summer | let go of
myself and went out with
other men. | behaved my
self like a lady, but none of
them were gentlemen. They
thought | was single.
Two men have asked me
to marry them. l like one,
although he IL just a boy
of FL, has no money nor
even a steady job, but can
easily get one. But most
of all, he is a gentleman. He
now knows | have been mar
ried,. but thinks I'm free.
He loves me p know, and
thinks lots of my boy. But
my parents want me to go
back to my husband. They
have forgotten the past and
don't want me to go with
anyone, and they often
scold me. and l don't think
| can bear to stay heme much
longer.
Now my husband is COM
ing for me. He says he loves
me, but | don't think he
does. He says he has made
me happy. No one else
thinks he can support q
family.
l don't love him and he
knows it, but thinks Ill
learn to. My dearest wish
Is to be with the other
man, but If | do l will worry
mother and perhaps kill her.
If | go with my husband she
will be happy, and he will
too, but I'm afraid life will
be nothing to me.
l love the other man dear
ly and If 1t wasn't for my
my decree / would be his.
What shall l do? Tell me
soon because my husband In
hurrying as fast as trains
will let him to bring me
back. | am sorry my letter
is long, but 1 wanted to ex-
plain IL all so you would un-
derstand. PEGGY.
