Dear Mrs Thompson: | am very IN
happy. | have been married for -
years and cant stand it any longer. MY
husband drinks. but | did not know
about his drinking so much when /
married him. Several times he came
to see me when | knew he had been
drinking, but he said it was all r1ght
and | shouldn't worry After we had
been married year / had baby boy
born to me. Soon after that he be-
came very unkind to me and the Dany.
He stopped giving me money ana had
to work out to get enough money 10
buy food and clothing. | now have nVe
children and none Of them is OLD
enough to work | do washing and
ironing every day except Sunday and |
get just enough money to get along.
His father left me a house and little
money which l have not spent yet De-
cause do not know how much longer
l can work | am not as strong as L
was and l have backaches and head
aches a great deal.
NV husband knows that his father
left me the house that we live in and
the money and he has beat me and
cursed me and done everything ne
could to make me give it to him He
doesn't earn a cent and the little he
has he gets from me- He acts so bad
sometimes that | have to give him
money because l am afraid he will do
harm to me or the children. What
shall I do? I am discouraged and have
stuck to my husband as long as | can.
DRUNkARD'S WIFE.
You cannot afford to kill yourself
working and at the same time stand
the abuse of a good-for nothing hus-
band Divorce is really the only thing
for you. 1t is bad for your children to
live in a home with drunken father.
Perhaps when your husband finds that
he no longer has home and some one
to support him he will straighten up.
In case he does make living later
you can legally compel him to help
support the children.
Dear Mrs Thompson: % | am Is
years old and look very much older
than | am l have been going with a
boy for two years and love him dearly
Do you think we are old enough to be-
come engaged? He is IS.
