In a day of many revelations
about love and matfimony, the SER
ious person is liable to exaggerate
his hurt. One who has an unusual
COMPLEX tells in the following let
ter how sadly 1t disturbs the course
of true love.
when 1 met the girl I love / dedi-
Gated my life to her; and l am CRATE
full tor the decree which granted her
love to me.
For n year We were happy be-
yond words, with only some passing
lovers quarrels which soon gave way
to the strong current of u affec-
ton.
And then, although / loved her
beyond expression, a new feeling
awoke in me, a longing for a change.
1t grew until 1 succumbed. l went
abroad but in two months I regretted
our separation. Remember, We were
promised 10 each other.
Inconsistencies fer my little girl
epoiled my trip. ] came home, we
were in Paradise for six months, and
then suddenly / experienced the
same longing for freedom.
when I could no longer resist 1t,
I nut the width OF the states be-
tween us, hoping to find out just
what kind of a fool L really am.
Now We are apart, once more 1

I'm proud of her and OF her trust

this need fer a respite from her de-
votion, this need to escape from her
presence. Is going to crop up at fair

"She is the most wonderful girl IN
the world to me and I am an UNI

II keep warning myself that l
must stife my recurrent wish Tor

"She Is not in any way to blame
for it and she eve must know
about 1t. ! want her always to be
happy, but if this curse sticks to me.
1 doubt my power to make and keep
her So"
This appears to be an extreme. an
exaggerated. a dramatic p%resenta-

to the man who has been engaged a
year and sometimes to the husband
who has been married a year or
longer.
