"Another Woman's Treasure"


Dear Miss Libbey: Kindly decide
what should be done under following
circumstances: Two are sweethearts
from childhood, they drift apart to
different cities. He weds unhappily,
no children bless the union. She mar
ries, has children but is forced to di-
vorce her husband because of in
fidelity and abuse.
After lapse Of years the former
sweethearts meet suddenly. They are
alone, speak of old times. Before
either realize it they are in each
others arms. Both are conscience
stricken, but both realize Though no
word has been spoken) that they love
each other. They separate determined
not to meet again, but after a few
miserably unhappy days for both,
they meet again. Both wish to be
honorable while determining they
cannot give each. other up despite
friends advice.
The divorced wife had been consid
ering marrying wealthy man and
going away, her lover cannot raise
his protest against her plan because
he has not the right to do so. What
should be done in this most unfortu-
nate case d. b. +. n. Z.
For a very young and inexperienced
girl to fall into a love trap, one can
feel the deepest pity, even while con-
demning her. For a woman who has
passed through the experience gates
of wifehood and motherhood, one can
not have so much comniseration,
especially when the object Of her af-
lection is married man.
I do not wish to speak harshly to
YOU, dear heart, but I want you to
let me bring your womanly sense OF
Judgment to bear on the situation.
Your one time lover is now another
woman's treasure. He may not love
his wife, but she may love him with
all her heart-wearying heaven both
night and day with her prayers to
grant her the one boon which make
life worth living-her husbands love
the affection promised her at the
altar. 1t may be the greatest sorrow
of her life that she is childless. God
alone can give children; if He denies
tbenn--it is His will. Do unto others
as you would have others do unto
YOU. There is no greater crime than
TO come between husband and wife.
Give this married man up. Do not
see him again. You lived happily
without him once, you can do SO
again. Be a sensible woman. You
cannot afford to take wrong step
for your children's sake, take care,
beware. If you can love the wealthy
suitor who has offered you his heart
and hand. marry him and go far away
from the tempter who is trying to
make Of you creature your children
would abhor when they are OLD
enough to understand.
No man ever loved woman whom
he would deliberately lure from the
right path. I make these words
nraver to you, dear. (You are waver-
inc so pitifully hard between right
and wrongly Spare the other woman
her treasure. Give up the married
man. The man who is false to one
woman can always be false to an
other, despite all his protestations. In
time some younger fairer woman
would in turn take him from you. Tins
is Gods way of bringing sin home.
have never known it to fail. She who
breaks Gods law pays soon or late.
The above advice also applies to the
following letter:
