to Phil, and that he was afraid he
had spoken in a way that reused
my husbands suspicious. The con-
versation was perfectly insufferable
to me, and I was glad to see the
last of this odious boy.
"This explained the change in my
husband, and wisely or unwisely,
when he burst out one day with
questions told him the whole truth.
1t stunned him, and he left me with
out comment. For days he hardly
spoke, and then one evening with
the greatest kindness and gentleness
he told me that he had talked the
matter over with our minister, and
that affairs at home must 60 on just
as they were; for his sake, the
children's, mine, and that of soci-
ETY., he had finally decided against
divorce.
Cast in Humiliating Role.
II knew that in a few days the
stiffness would wear off the situa-
ton, SO accepted this decision. The
alternative of losing my children
was too terrible. And presently ev-
erything was going along just as be-
fore, except for moments when Phil
ip saw fit to take the attitude of a
mentor, and ask me what I had
been doing, to whom my letters were
addressed. 1t was stupid and hui
initiating to me, but I thought it
would wear off.
But even now there are occa-
sional reminders that l am a sin
ner and must be guided. Philip
wishes would cultivate the lovely
Mrs. Brown, who has always been
such a dignified, discreet woman.
Last night when was working with
the typewriter he asked what I was
doing. 1 said writing the story of a
girls struggle to better herself. A
faint smile came over his face and
he said I don't know that I'd make
it TOO biographical
"How long should bear this sort
of thing? In actual campus populari-
ty I've long ago outstripped Philip.
I am president of two clubs; people
love my Sunday garden lunches; my
children are wonderful. Am to go
on forever being made ashamed?"
Rise Above Handicap.
The answer, Ruth, is that the fault
lies with Philip, and apparently
there's no reaching him. He will
continue with this small-boy SNUG
ness to the end. Even If he com.
mitted a fault far more serious than
yours he would 60 right on feeling
that you were the sinner, and that he
was fully justified in whatever he
did.
But don't despair. You have great
consultations. The cultural atmos-
phere, the draynatics and discussions
and opportunities Of a campus are
real advantages, and the mothering
of three lovely children great priv.
ilege. Beside that. you show gen
uine gift for writing, and il some
day you write the college stories,
or the college novel for which all the
publishers and magazines are wait
ing, you will be able to ignore Phil
ip's miserable little taunts. There il
an old saying that the sins of youth
are the masters Of age. But there
are other sayings, too, and other
truths, about what we gain through
the humiliation, the bitter lesson Of
having sinned, and sometimes the
woman who rises above such .

~ 1t is one of those marital
faults that are much more try
ing, in the daily encounter of
matrimony, than much more
serious failings. Smugness is
disagreeable in anyone, but
when a wife knows that it is al
ways lying in wait for her, and
when she also knows that there
is some justification for the
holier-than-thou attitude in her
spouse, then her path is hard in
deed.
Ruth, whose letter reaches
me this week, is suffering
from the smugness of The
man she married some ten
years ago, and I don't know
that there's any cure for it. For it
is the very essence of smugness that
it rises above correction and criti-
cism and only feels sorry for the
person stupid enough to find fault
with perfection.
This is a part of Ruth's letter:
Dear Mrs. Norris: My father was
a factory hand and my mother kept
boarders. After three years of high
school l went into a box factory,
helping to support three small half
brothers. My father had died and
my mother married again. When I
was about 10 / had a girl chum
named Mabel, and her brother and
her sweetheart and I used to 60
around together for two years. Ches-
ter, the brother, was a fascinating
sort of fellow; we used to 60 up to a
little cabin in the mountains, we
girls cooking the dinner, and all of
US taking tramps, swimming, and
having fun. Mabel and Bud were
lovers and Chester and l, very much
in love, were not long in following
suit.
Enters College at %.
"After about a year of this he
went away, and fall invalided my
mother, who fingered completely
helpless for seven years. I took
over the clearinghouse, and was
presently offered a hotel in town,
to which we all moved. At %, when
my brothers were pretty well
launched, an aunt of theirs left US
some money to complete our educa-
tons, and I was delighted to take
coaching, and to enter college with
girls 10 years younger.
This was happy time for me. I
met my husband, who was, and is,
a professor of English, and the year
we were married I sold three short
stories-for very small sums, but
it was great thrill to me. OF late
years / have had little time to write,
as we have three children and ! do
all my own work, but I have al
ways hoped that the time would
come when I could 60 on.
"Some months ago I noticed a
change in Phil, my husband, that I
could not understand. He is Is years
older than /, which makes him 81.
He grew excitable, moody, explo-
sive, silent. He has always been a
serene man, church-goer, ideal
istic and really faultless. His devo-
ton to the children is remarkable,
and he has always seen that they
help me as much as small children
can.
Husbands Suspicious Aroused.
Zone day I had a call from Ches-
ter's brother, who as young boy
had sometimes been with US on our
expeditions. had not heard Of any
of them for years and believe me
he was an mwelcome reminder Of
what I would have been glad to for
get. He said that he was worried
because he had met my husband
and made some reference TO me, ~
. girl He said that he had had no
| idea that had lsft the boz factory
