very good husband who said
I was everything a wife could
be. He, too, was moody and
eccentric at times and liked
very much to get away by
himself once in a while. But
the last time he left, which
was a year ago, he forgot
what a good wife l had been
and neaver come back. And
there has been no law that
has protected me and brought
: him back. They can't find
him. Of course; so take my
advice and go with your hus-
band; that is, provided you
think enough of him to en-
dure his Indifference.
