The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-08-14

been because my dear family and
the doctor tried so hard <and gave
me so much encouragement.
The other day l, was dressed in a
beautiful pink orEandie dress my
mother made for me, and I sup
pose, with my blond hair. l looked
rather we'll. I happened to meet
my old sweetheart and when he
saw me could see the old look in
his eyes. Now that l am we'll he
wants me back. As least he asked
II he could come to see me. In a
way l still love him, but I have
lost all faith in him because he de-
serted me when his love. would
have meant so much. I told him
did not consider 1t best for him to
come.
Now have received a letter
from him, and he begs to come
back. He says he has never been
happy a minute since our engage
ment was broken! My brother says
he was happy enough to run
around with other girls. The whole
family resents the way he treated
me and say I should not let him
come again. I really don't care
either way, because he hurt me so
much l can never forgive him and
feel the same. l have other men
friends, but I do not love any of
them. MARTHA.
The man certainly does not de-
serve your forgiveness. You can
see now that he considers himself
and not you, and since he has
shown this trait in his character
before marriage, you may be sure
it would manifest itself in a~orse
degree after. l believe, too, that it
would be better to let him know
you are through and do not want
him to come back.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
married woman So years old with q
son Is years of age. A girl of q
is forcing him to go with her BY
threats Of suicide and keeps him

few into q rage and forbade hi
chum taking him. I objected tt
her doing 20. telling her my sol

me and would like to slap me an,
