CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
MISERY LOVES COMPANY


wall this morning, utterly discOUr-
aged, when Mrs. Selwin came in.
l do not see Dick very often,
although he always talks to me from
his Office at noon time. I know Mrs.
Selwin thinks this is terrible but she
can neither see nor realize what a
wife in my condition means to a man.
Why, little book, should we be so
fOolishly hypOcritical aand insist that
a mana strong, ViriIe man in the
flush Of his manhOOd-shOuld tie
himself to a woman like me, just be-
cause he has the misfortune to be
married to her. He married me
when 1, too, was healthy and happy.
l have come to the conclusion that
humanity is very selfish. When any
other animal suffers it goes away and
suffers alone.
It is only the human animal that
seems to feel misery loves COM
pany."
l sometimes think, little book, that
one of my many mistakes in mar
rage was in not leaving Dick when l
had the chance and the proof of his
unfaithfulness. This might not have
been best for myself, but as things
turned out it would have been best
for him.
Now 1 could not divorce him if
wished and he would be considered a
coward and a cad if he divorced me.
I am going to wait until l know
that there is no hope that shall ever
be anything but the log I am, and
hen l am going to settle matters.
This morning talked to dear Mrs.
Selwin about it. She tried to get my
point of view but could not. She
talked about duty and self-cOntrOl
while I, lying here, writhed with the
knowledge that I was outside the
pale-that great, absorbing, all-satis-
flying love and JOY was not for me and
alas! neither was it for Dick as long

Oh, little book! little book! Mollie

I wonder if it is, as Mrs. Selwin
said, that in time marriage becomes
something better than romance. Oh,
little book, l always hated a settled
habit l don't want marriage as a
domestic habit.
What a queer fate has been mine,
little book, and, between you and me,

more wonderful experience than 9TH

Representative GaIlivan BeIittIes Talk of Our Heritage from England

Washington, Jan. 27.-Representative Gallivan, democrat, of Massachusetts, told the house today that by it's acts the United States had lost it's posi- tion as peacemaker of the world.
 T cannot help thinking that if a policy of watchful waiting had been exercised toward the European war, and one of action toward Mexico" said he, i've would now occupy in the world place of grandeur, surrounded by the gratitude of the nations"
 Applause greeted his remarks. He attacked pro-British propagandists as seeking to array one class of Ameri- cans against another.
 T have no sympathy with the Roosevelt, Root, Lodge, Choate inter- pretation of history" he concluded. Tt is superficial. They would have us think that all our rights are due to a heritage bequeathed to us by England. America is not an offspring of Eng land. She has a genius of her own."
 MT. Gallivan declared he was in fa- vor of preparedness.

NOTE ON SUBJECT OF
 ARMINe MERCHANTMEN
Sent by Secretary Lansing to "a For
 eign Power or Powers"

Washington, Jan. 27. - Secretary Lansing announced late today that the United States had addressed note to "a foreign power or powers" on the subject of arming merchantmen. The secretary declined to say to what power or powers the note had been sent, or to give any intimation of it's contents.
 In diplomatic circles the understand ing seems to be that the communication has been brought about by the arrival of Italian steamers in American ports with guns mounted, and the unofficial intimation that Austria was preparing to regard such ships not as unarmed merchantmen.
 There have been intimations that the United States was about to announce a definite position on the question It is not unlikely that this is announced in the note to which Secretary Lansing referred today.
