CIV 7HEN I was 18 I mar
nv ried the boy every girl
in our town wanted to
marry" writes Catherine Van
Orden from a small town near
Buffalo. "He was 26, just back
from college, rich and hand
some. Girls envied me and en-
joyed it, as picked my trous-
seau and practiced writing my
new name. We had a beautiful
wedding, 13 years ago. Now we
have three children Beverly,
who is 10, Tom, z, and Shirley, 4.
"For few years Fred and I were
idyllically happy; it was all Para
disc. We travelled, we built a lovely
house. Severe financial losses be-
cause of his fathers bad judgment
somewhat curtailed our holidays,
and the arrival of babies kept me
much at home. Until six years ago,
however, / always had nurse as
well as a cook, and although it
meant pretty steady work at home
for me, too, I knew I was among the
lucky women of the world.
"When the war began, Fred in
stantly entered the navy, rising to
the rank of commander before the
war ended. My mother came to
live with me, there were no longer
servants in the house, and my life
became quieter and more domestic
than ever.
"Then Fred came home, changed.
His letters had been all love and
inconsistencies; he had no sooner re-
turned than it became evident that
he had lost interest in us entirely.
] don't say entirely, for in certain
moods he will question the children,
laugh at them, perhaps bring them
some little toy he has seen on the
streets. But for me he has only
absent minded politeness, bored
looks, long silences. We do not
quarrel, as we did when he was a
spoiled young society favorite and
I a spoiled child. / wish we could
quarrel now, at least that is living.
Now, it is as if he were not here,
even when he is at home.
He Is Silent and Moody.
81 arranged quiet room for him
at the top of the house to save him
the children's racket. He occupies
it alone. He hardly listens to break
fast-table talk, and is rarely at home
for dinner.
"Of course you will think, 'anoth-
er woman Perhaps there is one.
These vampires who go about in
society trying to break up homes
like ours are plentiful enough. But
/ think it is rather a great weari-
ness. Fred needs new friends now,
new audience, he needs escape. This
little town seems dull and confining
to him, and my mothers talk and
mine about the children and the ta-
BILE probably bores him terribly.
"But what can I do to win him
back? He doesn't. want to 60 places
with me, doesn't want to entertain,
isn't interested in old friends. He
lives a life apart from us, and it
is all the harder because my moth
er and / really do have to work hard
to keep this big house and this family
of six comfortable; it is always a
struggle to keep abreast of the chill
dren's claims of school, clothes,
meals. manners, health, activities.
Isn't that my first job? can't pack
them all off to boarding-schools,
throw Mother out, buy extravagant
clothes and 60 dancing with Fred
again. On the other hand, simply
can't won't-drift so far away
from him that we lose each other!
