married nine years. My husband
has been going with another woman
ever since we have been married
and they have a little girl two
years old. He won't allow me to
say anything about her. Three
years ago, l fell in love with a
single man and he tells me he loves
me and l have had enough dates
with him to believe he is truthful.
He wants me to get a divorce and
marry him. Give me some idea as
to what to do.
Ans: Whether you two know it
or not, your two fine boys are old
enough to begin realizing what's
going on and this is not the atmOs-
phere in which to rear a family.
Two wrongs never made a right ..
and your competing with him in the
cheating game doesn't excuse your
actions. Children naturally hold
their parents up as an example
and that is why it is so important
for parents to live a clean, and
wholesome life. Give up this out
side man as long as you live with
your husband. Keep your own
conscience clear regardless of what
course your husband may pursue.
Also, try to recapture his affection
and make for the children and him
a home that they will be proud of.
By doing so, he may eventually tire
of the life he is living and want to
settle down with you and the
children.

Ans: Parents are often called old
fashioned and unreasonable but they
always have the interest of the
children at heart. They aren't ask
ing too much of you when they ask
you to limit your social activities
to reasonable hours. They know,
whether you do or do not, that boys
respect and have a deep regard
for girls who comply with their
parents wishes. You can get around
this issue by letting the boys know
that it is a rule in your house that
you have to be in at a specified time
and it is your privilege to allow
them to come a little early if you
desire. After you become self-sup-
porting and of age you will be
given more privileges as your par
ents know that they have taught
you right from wrong and they will
rely on your judgment.
N. B.-I am in love with a soldier
and I've never met him. He says
he loves me and wants to meet me
as soon as possible. I love him
more than he does me. He is sup
posed to send me his photo. Should
l wait for him? l am IS and he is
%.
Ans: Mail order romances have
become prominent with the war but
smart individuals do not take them
seriously. At least, until they have
had the opportunity to meet face
to face. Your cheerful letters show
a spirit of good will and it is COM
mendable of you but you can't
possibly be in love with someone
whom you have never met. If there
is mutual admiration after your
first meeting you can cultivate a
true friendship.

My husband and are divorced. He
asked me to come back to our home
so that we could remarry. When 1
get here l find that he is off living
with another woman. When ques-
toned about our remarrying, he
says he is i'll and must remain as
he is for awhile. Now what do you
make of that?
Ans: Your marriage was finished
when you divorced your husband
and you can't find happiness now
by going back and picking up the
pieces. If he still loved you, he
surely would not be living with
another woman. True, he asked
you back in a moment of depres-
sion but he had no idea that you
would take him up on his offer. He
has already complicated matters by
establishing himself with this other
woman and it would be to your ad-
vantage to fade out of the picture.
Make other friends and seek a new
life for yourself.

Avon's voice seemed to cut off at the
source every friendly outreaching
of Nelia's spirit.
She went to the kitchen and bus
led herself - unmolding the salad
on plates shaped like lettuce leaves.
1t was like a party! But it was for
Bills wife. She dried her hot face
on her apron. The tea -. she'd
better make tea. But thank good
ness there was some cold coffee left
from breakfast. Nelia drank it while
she waited for the kettle to heat.
She needed it! She kept saying to
herself. This is Bills wife" But
nothing in her innermost mind
accepted it. Bills wife. Bills wife.
Bills wte. said the old eight-day
clock on the kitchen wall. but
Nelia's feeling Of unreality persisted.
She went to the bedroom door and
knocked. Lunch is ready, Avon"
Thank you. Coming"
Its her way" Nelia told her
self. "I'll get used to it; it will all
work out"
Ar THE end of two months Nelia
faced certain facts: Avon was no
more a part of things than she'd been
on the first day of her arrival, and
Avon was going to have a child.
That which Nelia had always felt
would be the most glorious news on
earth to her brought her not the
JOY she'd expected. but a deep
seated sense of unease, and deeper
yet. a desire to protect Bill from
something as yet nameless, yet NOV
ing inevitably toward him.
Everyone in the Valley had done
his part. Avon had been included in
every activity - barbecues, SWIM
ming parties. moonlight picnics and
potluck suppers. At first Avon had
put a damper on the young people
with her reserve, but presently, like
an irresistible stream confronted
with an immovable boulder, they
simply flowed around her, leaving
her isolated in their midst.
Its just her way" Nelia grew
little weary of that often-given ex-
PLANTATION When you know her. ="
But when she was alone she faced
the fact that she actually knew
Avon little better than did any of
them. Oh. they talked together.
Nelia had fair mental picture of
the home from which Avon had
come: A father active on the home
front, a mother head of Red Cross
activities, two brothers IN Africa,
anewly-married sister and 4 recently
widowed one living at home. An
average English family. But OF her
self - Avon revealed nothing

moment Nelia was close to happi-
ness. Another week of this and it
will be as green as your England.
The passionate intensity of the
girls voice made her heart jerk.
But it's not England" Avon said
Nothing can ever make it England.
Nothing - nothing"
Nelia saw tears brimming but un-
falling in the dark eyes, the an
g,,ished tension of the girls now

Avon, l didn't mean. I" But Avon
turned, something pathetic in her
ungainly haste. and rushed into the
house. The fnality of her doors
closing an instant later forbade
Nelia's following Sick through,
Nelia sank down on the porch step.
She knew now what she faced. The
girls outcry, wrenched from the
very core of her homesick heart,
made clear the picture.
Avon would never stay in Amer
ica. become a part of the life which
would be Bills. Everything in her
pulled her back to the land of her
birth. There had been girls like Avon
in the last war. caught up in the
excitement of the times, by the
glamor of a uniform. And when it
was over they found themselves
married to a stranger in civilian
clothes to whom the job of making
living must be all important.
Only yesterday Avon had asked
in strange voice, as they'd driven
to town and Nelia had waved to

Nom, it'll be for keeps" wished
now that the tight anguish in her
throat could find relief in tears.
Bill, roaring over Germany on
mission after mission, sustained by
the knowledge of what he expected
to come home to; and Nelia know
ing the actuality he faced. Why must
his postwar world be torn asunder?
He was earning the right to peace.
Why, why? Nelia put her head down
on her knees, the unanswerable
question beating inside her skull
Why. with all the girls at home,
had Bill chosen Avon? There was no
doubt in Nelia's mind but that it
was real. Something OF the strength
of his love seemed to spring forth
from the very paper on which he
wrote when he mentioned her.

would be the wedge that would split
Bills life asunder. For Bill in Eng

all of his roots SO deep in this land;
and Bill without Avon would be a

But she had failed. When she rose
to 90 into the house she moved heav-

At dinner only the deep circles
beneath Avon's eyes showed the
storm through which she had passed.
Neither mentioned the matter, but
that night for the first time in her
life Nelia went to bed weary with a
tiredness more than physical.
