The wife pleads guilty, con-
fesses that she bought the baby
from a hotel chambermaid and
insists further that she is not
ashamed. Her action, she says,
was prompted by a wish to bring
joy to her husband, who had long
wanted a child.
Women sometimes will go to
strange lengths to keep the inter-
est and devotion Of the men they
love. The wife, who because of
some accident Of nature can not
give her husband the son for
which he longs, is greatly to be
pitied. Hers must be gnawing
and continuous grief. But to build
ones house of happiness upon the
shifting sands of falsehood is al
ways a mistake. The heart may
forgive this woman, but the head
never can. ooh, what a tangled
web we weave, when first we prac
tice to deceive" said Walter Scott
long time ago
Husbands, to an extent, are al
ways at the mercy of their wives
where the question of paternity is
concerned. Sometimes it is indeed
a wise father that knows his own
child. And to deceive where love
and trust and even souls may be at
stake is to deceive, indeed. The
wife who trif1es with such deep and
tragic secrets is certain to overstep
the mark and work amending woe
for herself
Had Mrs. Boyer resigned herself
to the inevitable and persuaded
her husband to adopt a child, a
happy family might have been the
result. She may be charged with
seeking to acquire a family for
tune, but women who know how
powerful thing love for a hus-
band may be, will surely exonerate
her for that.

MARYEand 'MOM'
.
THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES
Marye Dear:
If you were a little girl at home
I'd paddle you good for your be-
havior. AS it is I hope you will
pay attention to what 1 have to say
to you. I'm not going to scold you
because I want you always to tell
me your experiences and I'm afraid
you wouldn't do that if I censured
you.
But I must warn you against de
ceiying Alan even in little things,
Marye. Breaking a promise isn't a
little thing, though, and I'm sorry
you treat it so lightly.
Suppose he learns that you per-
mitted someone to drive you at
eighty miles an hour after you had
promised him you wouldn't speed?
He won't have any peace Of mind
when you're out of his sight. You're
perfectly willing to give up security
for thrills l know, but there ism t
much consideration for those who
love you in the recklesSnesS Of you
young people.
I almost feel like writing Alan not
to let you have a car, but 1 guess
YOU would manage to talk him into
it anyway. And you might think I'm
trying to NEEDLE. Parents often
have hard decision to make in re-
gard to their married children,
Marye Our advice to you is some
times construed as interference, but
1 must risk it now to warn you
against the dangers of this new free
dom you're SO proud Of.
What do you suppose that young
Mr. Bartlett will think of you? In
deed, you are right when you say
wouldn't have called what you did
romantic. 1t would have been bold
in my day to lie to an officer and
then let a man throw his arms
around your shoulders in order to
carry out the deception. I'm sure
he must have a wrong opinion of
you, Marye and I hope you will let
him demonstrate the car to Alan i'll
the future.
And arn't you afraid the officer
will find out that you we're not tell
ing the truth? I think you'd better
tell Alan what you did, Marye.
| There may be trouble over it. You
will if you're sincere about this fifty
fifty idea you're always talking
about. With deepest love,
MOTHER.
