LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT.
MY DEAR HUSBAND:


have a very nice plan to propose
to you. The nurse who has been
taking care Of your mother 1 find is
without relatives, and she has become
tired of the life and hard work which
public nursing entails. l sounded her
the other day on the subject. and find
that at least for a year she would
very much like to settle down in some
quiet, easy place like your mothers
home
She is a very sensible young woman
about 80 years old. and she seems to
get along with your mother perfectly.
Indeed. l think it is she who made
your mother so gracious to me lately.
I think she would be glad to become
your mothers companion and nurse,
when nursing is needed, for about SIS
a month I am sure we can in some
way pay this to your mother. 1t would
make her much easier. and her life
pleasanter, and I am sure it would
take a great deal of care off your
shoulders. dear Jack.
To me. dear, there is nothing in the
world so easy to give as money, and
yet most of US hang on to 1t so te-
naciously. 1 am sure l can economic
and pay half Of this out Of my allow
ance, for the real comfort of knowing
that your mother is happy. Don't
you think it is a good scheme?
BY the way, dear. I wonder if you
remember when we were first married
what a terrible quarrel we had and
how particularly ugly you were when

Now She Wants Him

Miss Martha Lee: I am a girl 90 years
old Last year. while in college, met a
nice young man who seemed eager for my
company Each time he asked me, L re-
fused because my chum wanted me to.
During vacation. I received several letters
from him, asking to come to my home !
ignored HIS letters
1t had been a year since I heard from
him, when a month ago he GALES me and
again wanted to see me. 1t took me rather
by surprise, so / said No again.
After thinking it over I really wanted
him to come. So l wrote him a letter ask
ing him to come to me. l never have
heard from him and he never has come.
Please tell me what TO do to get him to
come. LONESOME.
The only thing for you to do is to
sit back and contemplate On the con-
trariness Of the human mind in gen
eral, and yours in particular. II the
man chooses to give you a taste of
your own medicine, which he swal-
lowed many times, I, for one, can not
blame him.
He knows you've changed your
mind, SO possibly he Will call you
again some day.

Wife'S DeCeDtiOn

Dear MISS Lee: About twelve years ago,
came to Indianapolis. | was only is.
Within year l was married to a girl about
II years old. l think she married me to
spite another and to get away from
her father.
Sometimes. when angry. she says she
man several years ago and he was at the
house during my absence
A couple of years later l learned she
was going with a man supposed TO be my
friend. Both confessed
Two children kept me from leaving. Some
say Children or no children, l would have
left" Listen--I was an orphan and sup
ported myself ever since was IL years
old. 1 could not see my children lIa those
circumstances
I believe they have stopped going to-
gether
Some time later. when I was supposed
to go away. I watched the house and saw
a man enter Another young couple was
there to spend the evening.
Since then I have had no confidence in
her. She claims ..he has settled down and
will behave. Do you think she ever will?
She is a woman in a class by herself
and l hate TO give her up. But l am Just
sick over this affair She still insists upon
associating with the people she went with,
both men acd women. She still goes out
at nights and 1 stay home and care for the
children. If she insisted upon doing so,
would you not sue for divorce?
WILLIAM S.
Your children still need you, so try
to keep your home together, if it is at
all possible.
Perhaps you could have some WON
an in to stay with your children sew
eral nights a week, so that you could
go out with your wife. II you want
to try to win her away from the
friends who are not good for her, you
will have to find others who will
please her, you know.
Possibly you can appeal to your
wife's love for the children. Try to
make her see that everything she does
affects them. If that does no good, let
her know that you might take them
from her, should she make il neces-
sary for you to leave.
