nothing. and very anxious to tell
the world all about it
And some are like great flights
or song birds, singing as they fly,
and hllfng the world with music
and with Joy.
Here's a letter that is written
right straight from an honest,
truthful, grateful and loyal heart.
Are you discouraged because you
can't seem to make things 60 the
way you want them to at home?
Do you feel sometimes as IL your
marriage was a mistake, or as IL
you'd be happier anywhere on earth
than In the home you are trying to
make for yourself?
Are you spoiled, petted darling,
used to your own way. happy when
ever you can get everything YOU
. want, and miserable IL your best
friend has a prettier gown or
smarter hat, or newer motor coat
than you?
Are you more ambitious than you
should be? Have you a champagne
taste and beer income?
DO you want everything every
one else has and a little more?
Did you marry with the dream Of
a beautiful and perfect love to
crown your life. and have you found
10 your dismay that the man you
married isn't a hero at ali-he is
just a plain everyday man?
Ia Life "Hardr"
Does he come home with
crouch and refuse to speak once
in while?
Does he take a dislike to your
best friend and wonder what on
earth you can see in her?
Is he Jealous, exacting, selfish;
does he neglect you; does he hu-
initiate you by his attentions to
other women, and have you just
ABOUT made up your mind that you
cam stand II another minute?
Don't give up yet! Sit down this
very minute and read this letter
from a little woman who has been
night down to the very deptbs of
the gulf of despair and has come
up again smiling with a singing
heart
Here's the letter-read II With
reverence, for II is written ont Of
the very core OF the human heart:
DEAR wINIFRED BLACK:

In the meantime God sent us a

how happy we were going to he.
but he kept drinking more and
more, and instead of cominp home
to his dinner he stopped in the sa
loon on the corner; there he would
stay nearly all the night until 7

come home. Finally he lost his no.
,sition, and J. with my health very
poor and with no money, did not
know what to do, as ] had never
worked and was too proud to write
home for help.
A friend got me a position in a
good family, where they took my
little daughter and myseIf-and
how good they were to me.
My home was broken I'D and sold
for not paying the storage. and my
husband let IT go and still kept
drinking more and more, and he
Kept coming to me, and I was try
ing to keep his body and soul to-
gether, hoping against hope that he
would come back; but 1t was too
much for me.
After struggling for two years

They did not receive me with open
arms. 1t was worse than what I
LEFT, but I struggled on and kept
writing to my husband, trying to
Keep track Of him and to help him.
