PAGE OF HER
OWN LIFE
BY Beatrice Fairfax

W ERE'S another letter for
Daisy. ''Disillusioned" says
~ that there Is nothing more
abhorrent than a drunkard for n
husband, and that she believes
woman's uncomplaining endurance
Is the cause Of man being so in
considerate.
Dear Miss Fairfax.
Just a page for Daisy from my
own book of life.
have been married almost
seven years and my husband
started drinking about a year ago.
The first night he came home
drunk my youngest child was
three weeks DID, Even now It
seems like a terrible nightmare.
1t was impossible for me to leave
him then, but / began making my
plans. Months later when / had
everything In readiness and was on
the verge Of the final step. (all
unknown to him) he stopped drink
ing as suddenly as he had begun.
There Is nothing more abhorrent
to me than q drunkard husband,
and I live in daily anticipation OF
the worst and when Il comes my
mind is made up. You who have
your future before you should not
hesitate as to the course to take.
Women are usually so weak, they
make all the sacrifices, the hus.
band none. Can you imagine
yours being so patient with you, I
think womar's unconiplaining en-.
durance Is the cause of man be-
ing so inconsiderate. Mine would
not sacrifice one smoke for me.
Take my adyice and start all
over again, you won't regret II.
You cannot love a man you do not
respect. The humiliation I suf-
fered, during the months of my
sad experience has killed all af-
fection for my husband, and I'm
simply holding on by q thread for
the sake Of my two children.

that way; there are mighty few
thrills, many stories are tame and
there's seldom a quite perfect
day. There is seldom a time when
the sky Is all clear, there are often
Just glimpses of blue: and perhaps
that is what makes those glimpses
SO dear that we keep pegging on
little glimpses or love, little
glimpses Of Kindness and smiles,
how they cheer up the heart like
the blue skies above, how they
smooth out the rockiest miles!
Though we're weary with toll they
keep Turing us on, little glimpses
Of brightness to come; what has
steadied our steps all the way we
have gone but the glimpse of the
haven Of home? On the stage or
