She Married an Average Man

Corners. Something inside me seems
TO have blown up. My spirit has got

For days l have been fighting this.
Today finished by last work for the
Messenger" and took it down my
self to Randy Lynch, the editor. As
I explained to him that Jim and were
leaving New York would be too far
away to conduct the Correspond
ence Corner" the wickedness that has
been seething in my blood seemed to
rise to my very brain and scorch it.
Lynch said he was "sorry to lose
the most intelligent woman on his
staff" and this added fuel to the
flames. l found myself in the street
pelting along for dear life, humping
I into people, avoiding vehicles and

Jim won't care. He'll go calmly on
without you. Work is his LIFE; you
are only his WIFE"
And that's true. Jim is so entirely,
SO absorbedly, SO complacently salts
fled with himself and his prospects!
Life, action, contact with new people
and vivid experiences mean nothing
to him.
He could get along almost as we'll

am treated as a slave. My hus-
band has not bought me thing to
wear in six years. He often comes
in drunk and curses me and the child
rem and he never goes anywhere
with me. The only pleasure / get
out of life is my children.
Girls, listen to one who knows. If
you ever find man whom you know
really loves you, regardless of how
rough he used to be, take him for
what he is today. Don't let anyone
choose for you. Now I see my mis-
takes, but for my children's sake l
will bear the toll and endure the pain.
LONESOME WIFE
You certainly have the right atti-
tude about making the best of your
life for the sake of your children.
We have to work out our problems
no matter how difficult they may be.
Dear Mrs. thompson: 1 am a
young woman twenty-six. have
auburn hair and blue eyes and am
considered handsome. l married a
man dearly loved. He was good
looking and intelligent. lived with
him seven years and we had no child
rem. Another woman came between
us. and left him
WOIudA ny IOQu0Sl
with three children. He did not like
her in the first place and lived with
her only short time and was di
vorced. 1t was his intention to
marry third woman if she consented
have always had a feeling for him
and wouldn't allow myself to think
of anyone else. He has asked me to
come back to him, but I am afraid he
likes the other woman as well as he
does me.
Please advise me what to do.
BLUE EYES
1t seems to me that it would be a
mistake to marry the man again
Until he shows more clearly that you
are the only woman he wants ani
that he has settled down into a more
steadfast way of living, you should
not marry him because he would only
bring you unhappiness.
