Care OF The State Press,

c. ID. WI am a married wo-
man and my husband Is in SER
vice and | am corresponding with
a married man, OF course his
wife does not seem to care much
for him and he doesn't seem to
love her very much, but | do know
that they do love each other some.
We have taken some mighty big
changes to be together. Does he
really love me or is he just tell
ing me this?
Ans, You are flattering his
vanity and building up his ego
by going with him. He does not
love you and he takes particular
caution not to let his wife get
wind of any Of his affairs. Your
yearning for romantic adven-
lures is not at all becoming to a
woman whose husband Is In ser
vice. Give up the idea that an
association with other men will
make you forget your troubles,
They can't, they will only add to
them.
