THE BOOK OF MARTHA
BY JANE LORIMER

Some men need homes more than
wives, perhaps; for the sense of
home. ard the need for IL. which
springs up in the heart Of a boy.
never dies out in the man. Better
homes is doubtless the great cure
for divorce.
Certainly. when Bob was sick, he
needed me. his wife. He required
the comfort | could provide. and
the easy round of habits which I
recognized. l was the place of his
rest.
But even rs my husband turned to
me. the self in me which was the
experienced wife framed another
jealous doubt:
Why did Bob, still very sick. so
plainly cringc before that gay con-
tralto laugh? Could it. by any nor
rid chance, remind him of the lost
hours which preceded his collapse?
When his strength returned. when
his energy was restored, and his in
terest in the outside world revived.
would he still shrink before that
laugh as IL il hurt him?
Or would he so forth to seek Ii.
perhaps to arouse it?
/ dared not think. BY a mighty
effort of will l put aside the wretch
ed thought and came back TO my
best self.
/ must have courage. I told my
self. l must strive for the courage
some one has thus described:
Courage for oneself: sympathy
for others. Courage for ones des-
tiny. Courage to bear 1t or break
under it. But always courage to
wait for It,"
