ends, and l in turn am turning to
you-what shall we do?"
Leave Them Alone.
Here is another of the wartime
problems that simply don't admit OF
a solution. But think read be-
tween the lines of this letter some
thing that Louise Phillips didn't
know she put there. l think Jim
Phillips has come back on the brink
of that nervous breakdown that is
putting thousands of our returning
servicemen into hospitals. I think
perhaps Telka's bigness and shyness
and beauty still have their appeal
for him, if only Mother and ev-
erybody wouldn't make such
CHASTITY fuss. I think the smartest
thing to do would be to use that mon
ey that was meant to send Telka
away for the double purpose of send
ing them both away, together, and
giving Jim years holiday to get
adjusted to the new life that is so
baff1ingly like and yet unlike the old.
Why not give them your blessing
and buy them some sturdy boots
and shirts and ship them off to Can
ada or to Mexico, for tramping,
camping, exploring? a small Sec
ond-hand car, a promised income
of some two hundred a month, and
the devoted big handsome wife for
companion and nurse may be the
things that will save Jim's reason,
and save you all from ultimate
anguish.
Let him get his bearings with only
one woman for companion, and with
the long beautiful roads and moun-
tains, rivers and oceans for setting.
After nearly two years of unimagi-
nable horrors, our young men can't
settle down quietly to our ordered
and protected lives. The contrast
is too shocking; the young minds
continue to work resentfully, NOR
bidly, on the causes of this world
ruin and world despair, and even
the loveliest home and the most per-
feet servants are not the cure. Telka
sounds to me like just the right med
icine for Jim; in any case this is
your best bet and l hope you'll be
sensible enough to suggest it.

GIVE THEM A CHANGE

Too much protection and so
hcitation are bad for the re-
turned soldier. He wants time
to think things out. His mothers
ideas OF ,ohat is good for him
may not fit in with his ideas.
Jim married his grandfather's
nurse secretly, just before he left
for the army. He serued in the
Pacific area, was captured and
reported dead. His tUife TeIka,
big handsome girl of Russian
and English descent, did not re-
marry. Now Jim is back, but he
seems uneasy in his ,Uife's pres
ence. His mother thinks that he
does not loue Telka, and would
be glad to be rid of her. They
haze never publicly announced
their marriage, so the situation
is embarrassing. Telka refuses
to go aUay quietly and obtain a
Reno divorce.
Miss Norris replies that the
most difficult and unreasonable
element in this quandary seems
to be Jim's mother. She thinks
that she is doing the best thing
for her son in trying to get him
separated from his Uite. Proba-
bly,, however, they still Ioue each
other, and only need a little time
and favorable circumstances to
get used to their new state.

Bv KATHLEEN NORRIS

TIM PHILLIPS mother
wrote me an anguished let
ter a year ago, when jim
was reported dead in a japanese
prison camp. Later, by one OF
those miracles that just a few
mothers were privileged to
know, Jim came home; thinner
and graver and older, but back
safe into their arms once more.
The glory of that reunion, the
laughter and tears, lasted only
a few days, then Jim had to tell
her that on his last leave, now
nearly two years ago, he had
been secretly married, and to
the wrong girl. And this blow
has shattered Jim's mother
more than even did the false
report of his death. She is pros
trated.
"Telka is three years older than
Jim, she is 49, writes Jim's moth
err. "She is American born, OF Rus
sian and English parentage, never
finished high school, and has been
working for nine years. Jim met
her when she came into my house
: hold as a practical nurse, during
my father-in-law's last illness; that
there was anything between them
I never dreamed, but it seems there
was, and my splendid, generous boy
made her his legal wife before he
went away.
''When the report of his death
came, Telka was away in an army
hospital, nursing, and that report
was denied by his return before we
heard anything from her. Now she
is home, living with her mother, ia
Their, and some younger brothers
and sisters, in the crowded way such
families do live.
Tired and Confused.
eff Jim still loved her, l would
not be writing you this letter. But he
seems to have had all feeling
drained out of him by the frightful
experience through which he has
passed. Twenty-one months of star
walton, cold, loneliness, and the suf-
ferings and deaths of his friends all
about him, have left him only terri
bly, confused-helpless.
Unto our lovely home, perfectly
kept by the old colored servants who
have been with me since the first
of my children was born, comes
this strong, big, foreign-appearing
girl with her claim as my sons wife.
She is as shy and confused as Jim
is, but when my husband very con-
siderately talked to her, she gave
no signs of surrendering her claim.
Telka, may add, is thought un-
usually handsome.
''We are all in the same agony of
perplexity that has seized upon the
younger pair. Telka will not agree
to hushing the matter up with a
quiet divorce, although my husband
would pay her expenses to Nevada
and support her there indefinitely.
She says the whole thing must be
made public, for the sake of her
own reputation, as quite few of
her friends and her own family
are aware of the situation, and she
will not have any suspicious floating
about in future days.
"Jim appears bewildered, and
tired-tired-tired. He has no job,
and as my husband is a portrait |
painter he cannot make a job for
his son. At one moment, Jim says |
of course he loves Telka-at another |
he says to me YEARLY, You tell me
what to do, Nom am at my wits
