anything to your advice to "A
Broken-Hearted Wife" To men
such as her husband l wish to
speak:
worked for a company.
One of the pyoprietors had a
private secretary, very pretty
girl, whom he took out often to
lunch. A few sly ewinks were
passed around among the en-
ployes.
One day my boss called me to
his dice on some business. and
to my surprise introduced me
to his stenographer. 1t was
not long, fool that l was. be-
fore l was taking her out to
lunch, buying her candy and
flowers, with money my wife
and babies should have had.
She made me think l had won
her from the boss.
After nearly breaking my
wife's neart, the truth came out.
The boss wife had gotten wise
to his little clandestine affair.
He didn't wish to break with
her SO he bribed the stenog
with a lot of cash to get me into
the tangle. He even raised my
salary so | could blow in more
money on her.
He explained to his wife that
he saw how things were drift
ing, and in order to save both
the girl and me, had taken her
out few times in order to adj
wise her.

squared things with his wife, l
noticed the girl was not SO en-

She told me everything, how she
got the drop on the boss, and
exploited me for the money
there was in 1t, and added that
now she had found someone else
with more doe than either of US.
When l asked her IL she didn't
have any conscience or true
womanhood in her makeup she
: laughed sarcastically and said:
"Baby boy remember wom-
an who preys on other women's
husbands Is never true
Now, Miss Grey, don't waste
your valuable time and paper
jumping on me. Nothing you
can say can make me feel worse
or more unworthy of my wife's
love than / really do now. l
only wanted to tell my expert
ence in hope that it might save
some other poor fool or make
him turn back before he got to
that place. A. X.
