The wife, the husband and the YAM
pire ladyl
There is a triangle as old as time,
1t Is constantly being presented to me.
! have at present five or six letters on
my desk from indignant or heartbroken
wives, and one from a vampire lady
who signs herself Miserable Mabel
The husbands are discreetly silent.
The wife-I will put it in the sin
gular, for all the letters are practically
the same In substance-writes me that
she is very unhappy and that her health
has become affected through worrying
over her husbands i"nfatuation for an
other woman. She says that this has
been the subject of many uuarrels be-
tween them, and that she has begged
him on her knees to give up the siren
who Is disturbing the peace Of their
home,
She has two or three little children,
n she fears that their futures are
imported as we'll as her own by the
course the man Is pursuing. She wants
to keep her home; she wants to keep
her husbands affection, and above ali
she wishes her children TO have the

ment, II Is this one. Eliminate senti-
ment and natural resentment and look
at the matter quite coldly, and what do
We see?
First, that the wife holds all the
trump cards, In a duel between her and
the siren the siren Is quite at a dis
advantage. BY virtue Of legality, GUS
tom and public opinion, the wife's posi-
tion Is impregnable,
No matter how desperate the nus

perate the more f~leeting--he il rarely
entirely blind to the very practical
issues involved, He will not lightly con-
template the possible breaking up OF his
home n separation from his children.
Neither Is he anxious to endure the
criticism and censure OF - friends and
ac~auaintances. He Is d aware that
the law holds him responsible for the
maintenance Of his family and the edu-
cation of his children.
He will think twice before consider

where the affections and emotions are
involved, It Is very hard to follow a
well-defined and calculated course, Yet,
II II could be done, how different the
results might be, how many domestic
catastrophes might be averted,
IL instead OF quarreling with Friend
Husband on the subject, the wife had
laughed at It and refused to discuss 1t

escapade. She should never have
