| Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 1
married woman with four swee
children / don't love my husband
any more and never can All l an
living with him for is my children
II am almost crazy at times.
We lire in the country and
never go any place except to one
of my neighbors- l always have
to walk because he won't furnish
me a way to go. He says he is
ashamed to go any place with me
| and he doesn't care whether / GO
or not I always look nice when
eysr go.
We have lived here year in
new neighborhood and l don't like
this country. 1 want to go back
where my folks are and where l
know everybody and have a lot OF
friends. I want to get out and
take my children, but how can |
They don't know what Sunday
school is and it is too far for them
to walk. You don't know how l
hate this.
He goes somewhere almost every
day. When he comes home he tells
me about other women, how friend
Iy they are and the nice things they
have in their homes. l can't have
nice things for he won't give me
any money.
He curses me something awful
and says if he had gun he would
blow my. brains out. My children
hear all this. He scolds and nags
at them for everything they do and
whips them awfully.
am a good worker and always
have been, but l am getting to a
place where l can hardly do my
work. I worry so much 1 can't
sleep at night for thinking.
He thinks too much of his peo-
pie. He has taken money from me
and given it to his folks. l worked
hard with chickens to get it He
said he would give it back, but he
never will now.
1 want to leave him so badly.
What would you advise me to do?I
Jail would be too good a place for
a man like mine.
How l would like to see some of
the girls take your advice. He
says you don't know anything when
mention your name. He reads
your column, too.
He doesn't want any one to come |
to see me. He just wants me to |
suffer and keep me at home. Don't |
you think l am too easy? Would !
you advise me to go to Sunday |
school and carry my baby, walking
two miles there? Or go to town |
and walk six miles?
nESERTEn WIFE
A vacation would be your saliva
ton. Probably your husband would
not want you to go, but il you
have the money or can get it from
him, go to your people for a few
weeks. Take the baby along, and !,
leave the other children with their
father When he is alone with
them l think he will be more kind.
You are in very unhappy frame
Of mind, for which you cannot be
blamed. But as long as you think
and feel as you do, you will get
further and further away from
your husband and from happiness,
and your attitude will be harmful
TO the children.
If you can be brave and cheerful
in spite of everything, your chill
iren will worship you and as the
years pass you will reap the bene-
its of your courage. On Sunday
get your children together
and conduct your own little service

grounds for divorce. Probably You
will have to stay with your huS-

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A few
months ago my husband died of in
fluenza, leaving me with a little
daughter IA years old to support
He only had enough money to pay
for his burial and so l had to give
up our little home and go to live
with my mother. She is also
widow. Her home is in a double
house and the owners live on the
first floor.
think it their duty to tell mother
how my child should conduct her
self. They seem to think she should
work all the time. I require her
to wash dishes at night and to help
mother with the cleaning after
school She also goes to the store
when mother wishes it and does odd
jobs on Saturday
1t is my opinion that with school
work a little girl has about all she
can do without staying at home all
the time to carry waste paper to the
basement. Our downstairs neigh
Dor is making mother feel that she
is imposed upon and that my little
girl is given too much play time
I work all day every day in the
week, but when l get home / try to
help mother in every way 1 can and
I sew for her, making all our own
clothes.
What is your opinion about this
MRS. c.
1t seems to me it would be better |
for your neighbor to mind her own |
business and let you and your |
mother work out your problems to-
gether. Probably there IS some !
truth in what your neighbor says. |
Your child should save your moth
er steps whenever possible, but she |
should also have her uninterrupted |
play hours and study time. Judg-
ing from the tasks you have emu
the child is kept as busy
as any child of her age should be. I
10 think. however. that when there
is waste paper to be emptied your
mother should set it aside asking
your little girl to take it down at a
time when it is convenient for her
10 do So
1 sympathize with you sincerely,
because you realize how much your
child will lose from the death of
ler father, and you want to make it
Up to her in every way you can by
keeping her happy and unburdened
