The question comes to me in
a letter that explains that she is
Sc, has been married for ten
years to man two years young
er. They have three children;
boy of eight, twin girls of five,
they own their home, have a
fine group of friends, club and
social interests, and an income

intelligence, imagine-is ade-
quate. She writes me that until
about year ago her life was
one of cloudless happiness.
II don't mean we didn't have
worries and responsibilities"
she says, "of course we did. But
we shared them, and loving
Jerry as I did that sharing made
everything sweet. I was so proud
to be his wife, to spend his
money wisely, to raise his chill
dren. I would not have changed
places with anyone in the world.
Last June l began to notice
change in Jerry. 1t was very
subtle change, but it didn't es-
cape eyes as loving as mine. He
was not quite at ease, he was more
loving and thoughtful than ever, but
curiously distracted. 1t made me
anxious, but he assured me that he
was not worried about business or
health, and tried to quiet my fears.
Office Love Affair.
"Then I had an anonymous let
ter, very specific and detailed. Jerry
was having an affair with one of the
secretaries in his office, a grass
widow 26 years old. She has boy
one year old, who lives with the ia
Their, so that while don't know what
the reason for her divorce was, it
seems probable she was at fault
II showed Jerry the letter, and
he denied the whole thing. He said
that only casual office civilities
had passed between him and Arlene.
But very little investigation proved
to me that this was an untruth, and
presently he confessed the whole
thing. He seemed overwhelmed with
shame, and promised to drop Arlene
at once.
''This was at Christmas time, and
I watched to see the affair end. He
did try to end it, becoming very
irritable with the children and me
at the time when he was not see-
ing her, and suddenly sweet and
considerate when he broke through
his resolution and took up with her
again. The wretchedness of these
fluctuations I won't try to describe;
some wives never will know them,
the others hate to be reminded of
them. Finally he asked me for
divorce, so that he could marry Ar
lene, but through storms and cold
ness stuck to my determination
that my children should keep their
father.
FINALLY he came to me in what
seemed to be true repentance; Ar
lene went away, and we were COM
pletely reconciled. The joy of being
in each others confidence again
healed my heart of the humiliation
and pain had suffered so long. We
had always kept an unbroken front
before the children, and they knew
nothing of all this; there seemed
to be no reason why we should not
forget the whole thing.
