OF course Hitler can still try a
great counterblow in Russia; and
perhaps that would be the most
logical place for him to take the
gamble. Most logical because so

The possibility must be admitted

Such case is that of "J.G.," who
writes me from Georgia:
'sWhen I married my husband, I
loved him." says her letter, ''but
now after IL years of unclouded hap
piness I know that my early love
was only a shadow of what real
love could bel He is not a strong
man; we live for our garden, our
books, and our one daughter.
reggie was invalided after a
terrible bout with pneumonia four
years ago, and we took what capital
we had and bought a tiny farm,
which my nine-year-old Rachael and
I have brought to the point of being
an asset rather than a liability.
Meanwhile Reg had started writing,
little bookish essays at first, for
which he was not paid; later more
ambitious literary stJsdies, one of
which is to be published in book form
in the spring. Our lives were per-
fect-perfect perfect, until a man I
used to know as a college student
turned up in the neighborhood.
"The story of our old affair is no
new one to you. I thought it con-
cerned only ourselves. was away
from home for the first time, and
every other girl did it, why not ~
The Is years between that time and
this have been disciplinary years,
and know they have made me
finer and wiser woman than anything
that was promised by the nature of
that girl of 10.
"But all the lessons in the world
can't save me from what is going on
now. I suppose you would call it
blackmail. Victor amuses Reggie,
who calls him a rough diamond
and Victor wants to come and live
with us. He has no job, no money,
no ambition. He has grown heavy
and lazy, but on the three occasions
when he has called he has, as say,
made himself amusing, and outlined
what he would like to do with the
farm to develop it.
"Oh, Reg wouldn't divorce me or
leave me-" the letter concludes, "but
his faith in me, his pleasure in what
he calls my lily girlhood, would re-
ceive a terrible shock. He is not
strong; he cannot go about as other
men do. He has so few pleasures!

the only way out is the way of full
confession. That means she can dis
miss the odious Victor in no uncer-
tain terms and then resume her hap

so suddenly. Victor will have her

With the freedom that our girls
are given, with the eagerness of
youth not to be limited or afraid,
with the protection that motor inns
and motor cars and supposedly re-
spectacle roadhouses give to their
affairs, it is possible for girls to
throw away all restraint without
ever allowing the family at home
to suspect what is going on. Every
year thousands of girls from good
homes and fine backgrounds do ex.
actly that. They feel that nobody
ever need know anything about It,
and perhaps for a long time, per.
haps for years, nobody does.

NJ enough to convinceyoung
I <'boys that theft and forg-
cry are wrong. And not merely
wrong in being punishable
crimes. Wrong because of what
they do to a boys character,
even if he is never found out.
Wrong I'M boyhood, because the
stolen quarter or the forged
school excuse are steps to more
serious forgeries and thefts, and
once schooled well in those di-
rections it takes heroic fortitude
it takes indeed a complete
change of personality, to resist
later temptations.
In the same way I wish /
could find words impressive
enough to help girls to see just
how great is the price women
have to pay for that thrilling
"giving i'm to the young lovers
of school and college days.
If your husband told you, one of
these cosy winter evenings, that dur
ing his senior year at college he
supported himself entirely by steal
ing and forging, you would be hor-
rifed. You couldn't laugh it off, tell
him that it didn't make the slightest
difference to you. You could not
honestly say, 81 love you for what
you are, dear, not for what you
were.''
Having sold his honor once, you
would iceland the world would feel
he might sell it again. And in ex-
actly the same way a man knows
that girl, who was reckless in CIV
ing her favors in girlhood, is not go
ing quite suddenly to attain an en-
tirely different position toward what
ought always to be the sacred SYM
boil of her honor.
These are old-fashioned phrases,
and to girls mine seems an old-fash-
Toned attitude. But I can assure
them that, viewed in the light of
later years, they will see the whole
thing differently. 1t would be easier
| for a young wife to explain to her
husband that she lifted some money
out of the department-Store cash
register when she was working there
years before her marriage, than to
| explain that she was intimate for a
few months with one of the men who
is known to her husband in business.
Buried Secrets Reappear.
Of course, if she can avoid it, and
hope permanently to avoid it, girl
doesn't tell her prospective husband
these things. But that security isn't
always as sound as it seems. Hardly
a day goes by without bringing me
a desperate letter from some young
wife who has supposed her secret
long forgotten and buried,
| Many of these women say that,
feeling it would be more comfort
able to admit to the affair before
marriage and start on an apparent
ly honest basis, they have softened
the story by saying that the man
was someone you never met. He
died the following year."
This does smooth things over for
the moment. Few men, especially
in anticipation of an immediate
marriage to an adored woman, will
waste time on jealousy of a dead
man. But matters are much worse
when the perverse turn of events
brings this man into contact with
the family again, and the unsuspect-
ing husband is perhaps cordial to
him. So that the wife must either
make a clean breast of the whole
thing, or put up with the insuffer-
able situation of having secret
with one of the guests of the house
that would crush her husband
pride and faith in her if it were made
| known
