Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a wo-
man 80 and 1 have been married
twice I loved my first husband with
all my heart and for three years
thought our love and marriage was
ideal. Without any warning I learned
that my husband had been living with
another woman for eight months. We
had a talk and he told me that he
loved the other woman and wanted me
to get a divorce. / did not want to
hold him against his will and espec-
tally when he was untrue to me, and
so divorced him.

object to such course. Do not be
selfish. You made a mistake and now
you must be game and take your pun
