| am lonely tonight. Dick, dear.
est--n little bit more lonely than
ever have been before IN my life.
You may think this strange, man o.
mine. for you and | have been sep.
nrated often and for longer
period than you have been away
from me this time
My heart hurts with longing for
you. want 20 feel your arms
about me: ! want 10 look into your
dear eyes 90 see that queer little
crooked smile that makes your
mouth tell tales even before you
speak.
But most OF all, want you 20
tell mo You love me Isn't II
strange. dear. that the lover nj.
ways asks his sweetheart: DO
you love ms7" but II In the wife
who must always question her hus-
band. So hero am sending my
very soul out 20 you with the
words; DO you love met"
Don't laugh ~ me. dear heart.
and say. "of course. DO" take me
Ia your arms and hold me close 60
your heart and tell II 20 me with
the little catch In your voice that
II had when YOU said 20 mo tho 9th.
or day: Whatever happens, re-
member. dear. love you, have
loved you always"
What can happen 10 this be true7

away from me my heart grows cold
with apprehension. The Irish i'm.
arination bequeathed me by my
father rises above all that Puritan
calm that IA tho heritage from my
mother and I grow terrorstricken.
my breath comes cold across my
lips. my heart stops beating. some
thing clasps my throat, I strangls
and gasp ut the thought: Per.
hsps. some day I shall ask: DO
you love neT" and see only indif.
ference In your eyes.
What do other women do, dear
Dick. when they see Indifference

that love could not be buried 80

thing with which you can battle
and. perhaps. overcome. but indif.
ference. no cold, NO calm. 40 pitiiess

cold. but affectionate. I want 10
love you--iove you. want to
thrill when your hand touches
mine. 20 trcmble when you are
cross. TO weep when you are sad

DO other women write letters

emotions fair play. did not hear
what they were saying. but n ever

Perhaps seeing this II what made
me 30 lonely for You. This and an
astounding bit OF news which I
won't tell you until you come
home--and then you have not writ

you 30 away from me you shut me
out OF your life as completely as
though I were dead. That you for

and never write me. I might forget7
oh, my dear. my dear. write me.
No. won't ask that. for n you do
not love me so much that you can't
help writing when you are away
would rather you would not write
to mo, although IL breaks the heart
OF one you call Margie.
