If n woman has the right sort
Of love for man, can she lose itr
And can any love, II lost be re-
gained?
The readers of the Cynthia Grey
column express various opinions.
Some say Eyes," Others say mo-"
What do you think, and what
are your reasons for so believingf
Following are some OF the les-
ters received today:
Dear Miss Grey: In regard to
your problem: II a woman mas
the right sort of love can she
lose it, | will say no, not II her
love has been returned; but OF
course If it has not, 1t could
even turn into hate. Love may
be a heavenly sensation, but II
is merely an earthly quality,
and like all earthly things Is
not substantial, and Will die
unless nourished. G. II.
Dear Miss Grey: l was much
interested in "Contrite Spirits"
letter to you which stated that
he had permitted his mother
and sisters to break up his
home, and thus lost his wife's
love.
am a married man, and
have been for 13 years, and
while l love my mother devot-
eddy, | would not think Of let
ting her interfere or cause any
trouble in my own home. l
think wife should come he
fore anyone else in the world.
A HAPPY HUSBAND.
My Dear Miss Grey: To the
husband of uncertain moods.
who allows everything and
everybody to come between mis-.
wife and himself. one would
venture. to suggest:
Go and court your wife all
over again, just as you did once
before, but put twice as much
ginger into your love-making.
Il will be worth 1t, and man. for
the love of Pete, be man when
you succeed In regaining her
love, and don't ever again stow
1t away somewhere in "the
land of pretty SOON" LILLIAN.
Dear Miss Grey: I would like
to say a few words to the man
who signs himself "Contrits
Spirit"
First | want to ask, why do
you ever attempt to regain your
wife and her love as long as
you have the very persons in
your home that caused her to
lose that love for you. I am
surprised that she even stays in
your home at all. Get the moth
er and sisters out of your home.
II you must help them, arrange
for them to live somewhere else.
Then I think you will discover
before long that your wife will
gradually again turn to you.
that is, IL you will try to prove
to her that you want to make up
to her for your past error.

Dear Miss Grey: Having read
"Contrite' Spirits" letter I am
going to try and help him.
Mr.. "Contrite" you cannot
lose love, but you can abuse Il.
You say you have been married
10 years, apparently in all Of
that time you have never stud
led your wife or you would
know that she had some char
ter-quite a bit more than your
letter shows.
You say you have apologized
to her, but you do not say that
You had the rest OF them who
have been the guilty ones. Get
busy right away and make
them respect your wife, or get
out. Her character has been
large enough to get out and
work because you are not man
enough to stand up for her. In
stead OF her love being In ques-
ton you had better cast the
mote out of your own eyes.
II you had just a little Of
your wife's character you would
go before your people at once
and demand that they apologize
to your wife and then take her
and your son to live elsewhere.
And when it is done show your
wife that it is for always, and
back 1t up by seeing that moth
ing In the future OF similar cir
