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 we're; for his sake, the
children's, mine, and that of soci-
ETY., he had finally decided against
divorce.
Cast in Humiliating Role.
81 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 1 thought it
would wear off.
But even now there are occa-
sional reminders that I am a sim
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 I was working with
the typewriter he asked what was
doing. 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
1t TOO biographical
"How long should I bear this sort
of thing? In actual campus populari-
ty I've long ago outstripped Philip.
l 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 fault far more serious than
yours he would go 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 dramatics and discussions
and opportunities of a campus are
real advantages, and the mothering
of three lovely children a great priv
ilege. Beside that, you show a gen.
uine gift for writing, and if 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 is
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 q
handicap is actually wiser and
stronger in the end than the self
righteous woman who never knew
