The world needs a new morality
writes a girl. II am madly in love
with a married man. He loves me,
but unless we break the laws, we
must remain perfectly wretched. He
has no possible cause for divorce.
But our love has it's right-etc--
ETC."
Those who consider the old NOR
atty still workable for the general
and individual good will appreciate
another letter which shows what
goes on in the mind of a wife when
a too-romantic husband yields to
forbidden charms.
Il have seen many complaints
from girls who love married men
and who swear they can't live with
out another woman's husband, but
v have 1 seen one from a young
mother who had been cheated.
II am such a wife and mother.
My experience probably is about the
average.
Eighteen months after my mar
riage, my husband left me for a girl.
She had fallen in love with him to
such an extent that she went out
of her way to meet him daily. She
was young and innocent he
thought, and man-like he was flat
tered and finally succumbed-
Now the girl knew the stork was
on his way to our house, but that
made no difference to her. We be-
longeC to the same social set, and If
ever she saw me and my husband
together, she would scheme to make
him leave me and go to her. Every
body noticed.
But my husband would not let
mo refer to her. He said l was
jealous.
Mine was righteous jealousy, l
believed then and l believe now. l
would have been a poor creature had
[ endured peaceably what those
love-sick creatures expected me to
pass over.
A n self-respecting m l
could not continue to live with a
man when / learned how weak he
was in the face of a vulgar tempta-
ton.
my respect for him went with
my confidence in him. His presence
in the same room became an offense
to me. And so | went home to my
parents.
"Well, after my child was born, y
established a small business and met
with success. Financially ! and the
child are safe. But here is the point:
My little sons life is incomplete, he
has no father.
"Our tragedy is great. And what
was it all for?
"a mans temporary infatuation.

How could 1 do otherwise? Mrs.

Neither could Billy" answered
the bird kite ~moCrnfully. THAT is,
he Couldn't find a tai. to balance me
when l was up in the air. A strip
of old muslin would have done, but
he couldn't find a thing. So he hunt
er around and al, he could find was
a string of pearl beads on his moth

for a tail.
"Then he tool me out and let me
fly away up into the air above the
tree tops. But the wind was so strong
that the string snapped and the Wind
blew me up here. Now I'm afraid
they'll think I stole the pearls"
The Fairy Queen smiled. I'll send

she said, and Silver Wing will

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-A vacation
every 100 years,
That's often enough, Mrs. Emma
Mcmahon of this city allows"
She is celebrating her one hun
dredth birth anniversary by taking
her first vacation.
Her last bit of work was the max

Then, back to work,
"A body needs to lay off for a

says Mrs. Mcmahon.
Grandma as folks call her, has
had an adventurous life. Her father,
an English sea captain, fought in
the Revolutionary War against the
United States. Then he brought her
to this country when she was eigh-
