:: CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE :.

have been reading a story, little
book, that has made me think more
than any story have read in long
time. It is called Peter 1bbetson and
Just because 1t takes you so far from
the realities Of life into the real OF
conjecture and imagination 1t has made
a very strong appeal to me.
! wonder, little book, IL women to a
greater or less degree do not feel the
one great tragedy Of life is that human
beings are given conception of or
rather power Of conceiving ideals
that no one can make realities.
Life seems monotonous because our
Imagination can picture adventures
that are not Of this earth, The only
love we know falls short Of what we
dream 1t might be.
I cannot understand It, little book.
It doesn't seem quite fair that we
should be given this wonderful mag.
nation which can carry some Of US
very far into the realms Of Ideally
and make believe while by no posi-
Bile mortal effort can we bring out
these dreams into the rugged light OF
reality.
Peter 1bbetson and Mimsy lived for
forty years in a beautiful world OF
tho mind. They met only in the land
Of dreams but each night when they
closed their eyes in sleep they broke
the locks Of the supernatural and their
spirits rushed together, although the
body of one was stretched on lonely
cot in prison cell and the other was
surrounded by all the luxury and para
phernalia of the great lady-the
Duchess of Towers.
Their waking hours were the hours
Of unreality-only when sleep closed
their eyes to mundane things did they
really live.
Sometimes, think, little book, we
are all like this-the things we do
not tell anyone, the things we are al
most afraid to confess to ourselves are
the things which mean most to US.
They compose the life we long to lead
while the life we are living chains
as to all the cordid reality and deadly
monotony of everyday existence
Would 1t be possible for any woman
to live with Dick and go through all
my tiny tragedies-most Of them, you
know, little book, have been tragedies
of the soul-my times Of storm and
stress when 1 have been ILL.,, my In.
tervals Of Joy, when l was looking for
the coming Of Sonny-and still cling
to the externals of life, to be more
interested in the way hand Of bridge
is played than the story Of Flossie
Smith told me my Paula Newton?
Perhaps have not had enough to DO
perhaps had been poor ! would
have had no time for these selt.com'
munings, this self.analysis,
And yet, little book, cant help think
4 Ing am q better woman than tho
