1t seems to me it would be most
satisfactory to see q lawyer and
get his advice. II you csn 90 home
without sacrificing your rights, the
trip would be Of great benefit to
you. Your husband would be given
another taste Of single blessedness
and he might see that marriage is

Do not be SO considerate Of your

most likely he will respect you for
it and you will find life with him
much happier.

lives next door. She and her mother
live together. During the day she
works and in the evening she pre-
tends to work in the garden. My
husband has 4 garden too, and in
stead Of her minding her own bust

him.
