NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-My poor
Charlie, my husband, was convinced
that DR.. S. A. Tannenbaum could
cure me Of the mad obsession that
I must murder. l had tried for
months and months to free my mind
Of this dreadful conclusion, and l
knew that ! could never do it myself.
Unsuitable Reader.
Il had always been an Unsuitable
reader and soon after that first day
eight years ago when the doctor at

In psychoanalysis, and tried to un-

L tried to look frankly, honestly, and
truthfully into my mind, and l knew
that 1 really must have help.
II did not want to be the cause Of
tragedy that was bound to ruin the
life of the two people I most loved

that made me see his horrible face
in the face Of my husband, the man
who had always typified all that
was good in life to me, could not
possibly be the ruling law Of nature.
Why should this hideous passion,

decent love of marriage? Why should
men give themselves to indulgences
that mean slavery for women? Why
can women never emancipate them.
selves from these emotions? Why
should this thing that had come into
my life always make me think Of
death? .t.#.
NY husband knew II was my fixed
idea to kill the man who controlled me
and then kill myself. That Is why he
insisted that I go to DR.. Tannenbaum.
And that is why I said to DIR. Tannen-
baum when I entered his office: You
must cure me of the idea that have
got to kill a man.
Her Mind In Bondage.
This was in July. / went to DR..
Tannenbaum only three times. Then
the Christian Science practitioner to
whom had been going for treatment

to go to a doctor who will read your
mortal mind. That is not your true
mind"

i stopped my visits to DIR. Tannen-
baum until this fall.
The most haunting phase Of my
obsession had become my inability to
see in my husbands face any Of his
own features. / loved him with all

But his dear features were blotted
out to my vision. and when I looked
at him 1 saw always the face and
form of the other man who was the
long nightmare of my life.

his arm about me and kiss me would
tear away from him and run scream
