Dear Mrs. Thompson: Five years
ago l was married to a man who
had enlisted with the Canadian
army. We were married before he
left for overseas. He had not been
in France long before he was killed.
Then a few months later q little
baby was born to me.
My parents have been dead for
several years. At the time Of my
marriage l was living with mar
ried sister. l remained with her
after marriage, too, and worked as
long as l could. When / had to
give up my position ! was depend
ent upon the small pension which
received because OF my husbands
death. After the baby vast six
months old / went to work again
and my sister took care OF her.
Now baby is four years old and
OF course she gets into mischief as
all normal children do. Sister has
children Of her own and they do
things which my baby is always
blamed for. 1t nearly breaks my
heart to see my little girl whipped
and punished daily while my sis
ter's children are not crossed in
any way.
l have had an offer to 20 Is
housekeeper in. home where the
mistress is an invalid. She>has no
children Of her own and she saws
she would like to have my child in
the home. The pay will be small
because she is not a woman Of
means. I feel. though. that my
little girl and I can be happier
there.
After my days work at the Of
fee help in my sisters home
Every night assist with the din
ner and then do all the dishes. BE-
sides this. do the ironing in the
evenings. Sister says that l am
ungrateful for all she has done
for me and that ] have NO right to
leave her now.
What do you think, Mrs. Thomp-
son! UNHAPPY MOTHER.
