Q.-I am a married wom-
an, have been married for
three months and am coming
to you for advice. 1 have
always tried to do what was
right; but my trust and faith
In others has been too great
l was engaged to a man for
over a year. We were to have
been married q certain day.
/ had all of my wedding
clothes, but when the day
came. he never appeared. 1
have never seen or heard
from his since. He left me
disgraced. l went away from
home to forget and fight the
battle alone and to save my
family from worry and dis
grace.
l had been away four
months when I met the man
who is now my husband. He
fell in love with me and
asked me to marry him. l
told him l could not, but he
begged me to. I told him
everything. but he said he
loved me any way. We were
married. In that short time
I learned to love him very
much. He is kind to me, but
never seems to care to take
me out.
The other night he con-
fessed that he has fallen in
love with another woman, .
widow; said he had tried to
forget her, but couldn't. He
obtained a position in the
town where she lives. He says
he knows she is not the wom-
an am, and that I have done
more for him than any other
woman. He says after the
baby is born he feels sure
things will be different and
that he will love me more
than ever and forget this 9TH
er woman.
Do you think / am running
a risk to let him go where
she is? Please try and give
me some advice as to how to
gain his love. Miss Grey, /
know you will think / am an
awful woman. This world is
SO wicked, SO full Of STUN

BROKEN HEARTED BESS.
A.-Far be it from me to con.
denim you; but 1 Do think You are
viewing this old world from the
wrong angle. The world Is al.
right; 1t is wicked only as we make
II 50. You are paying the full
penalty of q most unfortunate ex.
perience for which you arc not
wholly to blame. Nevertheless,
your destiny is In your own hands.
II you have the strength of char
acter, the will power, you can rise
far above your present p1edica-
ment and become q fine woman.
The inherent right to be good be-
longs to each and every one of us.
To be good Is to he happy. That
Is the simplest formula of q sue.
cessful life.
II you have any influence over
your husband, you would be most
unwise not to exert 1t against him
associating with this, or any other
woman. II he has any respect for
himself or for you, even though he
does not love you, he will be true
to his marriage vows. 1 cannot
advise you how to gain his love.
The solution of that problem rests
with Father Time, and you must
abide by his verdict.
