LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COTT TO RUTH ELLINGTON,
CONTINUED

COLT TO RUTH ELLINGTON,
CONTINUED
The first year of Jacks and my
married life was comparatively hap
py, although we had to make many
adjustments. The second year, you
know, dear little Jack came to me,
after my serious illness.A and I found
out about the pearls. II wish Karl
had never conceived the romantic
idea of collecting them)
1t was not until the beginning of
the third year that I found out that
little Jack was my husbands own
child. 1 forgave him this; but now,
seeing how Jack acts about the
pearls. 1 am wondering If l would
have forgiven Jack If the whole scan
dial had become public property, and
my pride hurt as well as my faith
in Jack.
You know. dear, you said you
thought I should tell Jack If / had
the slightest idea he would hear it
from any one else. Your intuition
was correct; but Ruth. L did not ex-
pect that I would be stabbed in the
back by my own sister; and 1t never
occurred to me, even If some one else
told my husband, that when he
heard the truth Of the whole story,
he would accuse me not only of dis
loyalty to himself but to the very
name of wife.
I was so happy, dear, to think that
Jack and I could say when our third
anniversary came around that with
all the stress and storm of the last
three years, we had really never had
a great difference difference that
lasted over twentyfour hours. Then,
the very last day and afternoon, biff
-bang-and everything went up In
smoke.
1t just seems as though l am
target of the anonymous letter
writer. wonder If everybody gets

You are a crying wife, but prob
ably not the one that Worried Hus-
band wrote about. His wife was
over-sensitive, and you do not sound
as If you are that.

A resolution before congress calls
for. an investigation to determine
whether the fight for the Mellon tax
plan is not propaganda.
If lie contentious of the American
Legion are true, there may be some
foundation for the charge that
selfish interests are at work in an
effort to prevent the ex-service men
from being rewarded BY the govern
ment.
The Legion contends that congress
can safely reduce taxes to the
amount proposed, with reasonable
assurance that the governments or
binary expenses can be met, the ma
tional debt reduced as provided by
law and the long overdue obligation
to the veterans provided for without
resort either TO new taxes or new
loans.
If this be true, certainly no good
American is going to object to voting
a bonus to those who were response
bic for turning the tide of battle for
the allies when their outlook was
black.
And the Legion has some convinc-
ing figures. They show, taking the
secretary of the treasury's own esti-
mates, that after reducing the ma
tional debt by all of the require
ments of the sinking fund and other
provisions of law, we can have at the
