% 1 Mrs. ELIZABETH THOMPSON /

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
woman OF % and married For
two years we were very happy.
Eight months ago my husband met
q woman whom he loved better
than me aid it got so we were
fussing all the time until he said l
either had TO go to my sisters or
he would leave me.
l left him the 25th of July and
when l was gone about a month he
came to see me and he said he
would get job and make a home
for me. Instead he was out look
ing for q Job to take this other
woman to and he couldn't find any
and so be went back TO where she
was
l went to work. and when I was
going 10 work one corning I ran
into this other woman and her
child and my husband. He said he
was only taking her to the depot,
but they were planning To run
away together.
l followed him and he promised
me if l would give him a chance to
forget and not sue for divorce he
would let this other woman alone
and in the spring return for me
But 1 have proof that he writes to
her once or twice each week and
has not once to me. She is married
and has three children.
l think it would be best 10 d.
vorce him as 1 have lost all faith
and trust in him and l could never
be happy with him. How much
would a divorce cost me and would
have to pay all down at once or
could / make payments?
MRS. J. H. L.
l cannot say how much a divorce
would cost you. Talk to a lawyer
and see what he would charge.
Without a doubt he will let you
make payments and will be moder-
ate since you are not in a position
to pay large sum.
1t seems to me you are quite
right in wanting to free yourself
from a faithIess man. He would
only bring you more and more I'M
happiness. In case he is working
now your lawyer will be able 10
secure alimony for you.
