And still, when she finally left him,
she worried, cried and wondered
about his food.
She returned but found him as hard
to get along with as before. Now she
cannot decide whether to leave again
or to stick it out.
Poor woman. She's one of those
very much married women who may
not love their husbands in the way
we usually think of love, but who are
so much in the habit of caring for
their husbands needs that they can
not be happy away from them, even
though they are not happy with
them, either.
They are the extremely feminine
women, to whom marriage is their
whole lives They are the "clnging
vines" who entwine themselves
around their husbands hearts and
cling on. even when their affection is
spurned.

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON
TO BEATRICE GRIM
SHAW


Well, Bee, I have gotten back here
from Sans funeral and gone to work
again. All the old life is over. I feel
just as though 1 had turned my face
and started out in an entirely different
direction.
Some people would tell you, if you
had described me to them, that I am
perfectly heartless, but 1 contend that
am only frank. I cannot help but
feel free, as though I had shaken off
some great burden that was holding
me down. I expect even you, dear
phlegmatic Bee, will shudder a little
as you read that last sentence.
know, however, that many another
woman under the same circumstances
would, if she told the truth, say the
same
Love Gone
Sam had really ceased to love me.
He was tired Of me as l was Of him.
The only difference between US was
that Sam wanted still to dominate me,
tell me what l should do, even color
my opinions. He could not get rid of
that old, conventional idea that as
long as I was his wife in name, I was
his possession; and although he had
lost his love for me-lost the only
thing that made our partnership
something that might not be easily
broken-he still desired to be the rul-
ing power of my existence. He wanted
to go his own way but insisted upon
shaping the direction Of mine.
1, on the other hand, was perfectly
content to let him do as he pleased.
old not particularly care what he did,
as long as he didn't bother me with it.
Our life together was over. I could
not by any stretch Of imagination
bring him in to my orbit again.
Feel Freedom
l believe lots of women feel this
sense Of freedom, Bee, as they sit be-
hind their crepe wells and hear the
minister intone a description Of the
virtues of the deceased. I sometimes
think that the fashion Of heavy crepe
wells was started by some woman who
was averse to letting the public see,
not her grief, but her relief.
We're only human, and humanity
is more or less hypocriticaL Hypoc-
risy is the attribute that animals take
on with souls. A dog never makes
believe-he either loves or hates. He
just does one or the other and that's
all there is of it.
Thank you, dear, for not writing
me the conventional letter Of condo
lence. You made it possible for me TO
talk to you, to pour out my inmost
heart. and that Is something that
rarely comes even with a friendship as
loyal as yours. truly appreciate it.
dear. We always want to tell some
one something of ourselves. to give
vent to some self-expression; but few
OF uu can turn ourselves inside out to
any one as I do to you. with the sure
knowledge that that person will un-
derstand.
Sure Of Bee
IT don't know why I'm so sure Of
you, Bee, for I know absolutely that
you do not always approve Of me.
Perhaps it's because l know that I
am so different from you, that I bring
into your quiet, conventional life
something that speaks Of excitement
and thrill. That's rather egotistical,
is it not? Right here is where 1 stop
talking about myself, and tell you
that may interest you
more.
