After driving the young wo-

the taxi man was about to
pull away when she called to
him: Here's a woman's com.
pact that was lying in the
back seat of your cab.
You'd better take charge Of
it," She handed the driver 4
cheap compact, and paused for
a moment while he told her of
his two most recent fares, and
figured it belonged to one Of

Mrs. Ellis has found that not
only are mothers greatly relaxed
by getting rid Of" young son
or daughter for few hours
daily but the child is re-
created by the new interests, new
companions, new toys and new
events of the nursery school.
When mother and child get
together after the nursery ses-
sion 80. the joy Of reunion
Is mutual. They have
fresh topics of conversation
and new games and hob
bies to plan together. This is
particularly true where there
is only one child in a family.
The nursery teaches that child
to get along well with other
boys and girls to share
their toys and games and
to learn the beginnings of good
citizenship.
For instance, when Mrs. Ellis

the projects the children voted

of weakness they pay the bill. So
that while wise man may easily
be shared by woman into a love-
affair, a wise woman is much bet
ter fitted to avoid the danger.
However that may be, your only
course is to forgive Blanche, and
wipe the matter as completely
from your mind and your memory
as you can. Should any of these
dear friends who have turned in
former ever allude to it, it will
be enough for you to say briefly
that you understand the whole stu
alton and that it concerns you and
Blanche alone.
Wait Till You Come Home.
Whether you two can make
success of a marriage in which
confidence has been destroyed on
both sides is question, but ap-
parently harmony was reestab-
lished after your infidelity a few
years ago, and it may be restored
again. At all events, it seems to
me the wise thing is to wait until
the war is over. or until you are
home again, and then see how you
both feel and how things go.
You will probably find your wife
once again "lOvely and loving"
your home and your small daugh-
ter everything to which man wants
to come back. Surely il is more
sensible to make this attempt at a
fresh start than to return embit-
tered. lonely, with no place to go
and no ties to resume.
You will not be the only man
who will have to make this sort of
compromise when he comes home.
In hundreds of cases there will be
mistakes to forgive, stupidities to
overlook. In all cases there will be
deep chasm to cross the
chasm between the old orderly way
of living and the new conditions,
which none of us can foresee. The
dreadful chasm of war, which car
ries our boys away from home and
all the home influences, accustoms
their young eyes to sights no eyes
ever ought to see, hurries them into
hasty marriages, hasty divorces,
hasty decisions. They are going to
need all that we have of courage
and stability and code and love to
bring them back. 1t is for you and
Blanche to contribute to this eff
fort, rather than to increase the
worlds burden.

Blanche, who is now living
with another officers ,cite, has

While the lieutenant has had at

Bleaching Ont Stains

When all other simpler means of
removing spots or stains from
white or fast-colored cotton fabrics
have failed, bleaching agents may
be used. The stained material
should be placed over a bowl of hot
water and the bleaching agent ap-
piled, one drop at time, with a
glass rod or medicine dropper. When
the stain changes color. the fabric
should be dipped into the water.
Repeat the process until the stain
is removed. and neutralize the
bleaching agent with Ammonia.

An ARMY lieutenant, 81
~ years old, writes me from
\ Wales, where he has been
stationed for a year, to ask if
he should forgive his wife for adj
mitted infidelity.
The wife, Blanche, is %; they
have been married for 10 years and
have one child, a girl of seven.
Blanche lives in Chicago, keeping
house with another army wife. who
also has little daughter. The two
young women have apparently been
having pretty good time at dances,
theaters, movies, night-clubs, with
various admirers. Now she writes
her husband, Clark, that in this one
instance her affection for one of
these men has gone too far; the
man has left Chicago for the South
Seas now, and has gone out of her
life, but for few weeks before he
went away he and Blanche were
lovers.
'He is a married man." Clark
writes me, land Blanche SWears
that she never will see him again,
nor write to him, and that she is
ashamed of the whole affair. A
week after I had her letter, which
seemed to crack the actual ground
under my feet, I had note from
the mans wife, informing me of
the affair, and that seemed to me
to take away a good deal of the
honesty of my wife's admission. Let
tiers from a good many people hint
of it, and she may have suspected
that l would hear about it.
For the child's sake she asks
me to forgive and forget, and I
confess that that is my inclination,
for love my wife. adore my child,
and have lived all these months in
the thought of returning to our
happy little home again. But can
man ever trust woman after an
affair like this? Will she do it again?
If anyone else had told me that my
sensible, loving, lovely wife was
capable of this sort of thing would
not have believed it on oath.
