mart man more than twice her age site she is unhappy unhappy and he is jealous not a p pleasant situation but kathleen norris tells telli C catherine thera that she will have to bear it why do be sure to read this story of a girl whose hasty marriage rit arriage has given iter her a lifetime of leisure in which to regret gr et it in f for or charities or club work very well I 1 am studying french with an old refugee woman but on two occasions her young son came in during the lessons and after that lewis insisted that they be given here in our house which is very dull am I 1 making myself out a martyr you dont know what an effort I 1 make to keep cheerful and busy filling vases ordering meals playing with my baby going every day to pick lewis up in the cat car but his continual questioning and suspicions make me nervous and of late I 1 have been crying a good deal which does not improve my appearance and annoys him what prompts me to write you catherine concludes her letter Is that last night when lewis was in a particularly inquisitive mood I 1 suddenly emptied a vase I 1 was filling with primroses prim roses right over his head he was wonderful about it but it really frightened me and I 1 thought that if there Is any way to cure him or cure me if I 1 am to blame I 1 had better find out what it is I 1 and there you luckier women who are married to men without this particular form of vanity pettiness and cruji cruelty ty Is a perfect example of the elderly jealous mate waking Is no fun it seems great fun to the little beauty of 18 to announce to her awed and envious schoolmates that she is going to be married on graduation day to a successful doctor who is able to give her every luxury and who has adored her since babyhood it is a school girls dream but the waking up much tun fun catherine has cheated herself out of her happiest yo young 9 years years of dancing and house parties picnics and camping and iki skiing trips and theatricals and beaus every girl has a right to these and every girl rich or poor manages to have a good share of them it catherines fault that this path was made so easy for her if her mother sense enough to suspect what a prison lewis was preparing for her lewis brother might have given her a wat h it cath erine at 18 supposed to know that the flattery and the presents the plain gold ring and he ie new estate were just so 60 many chains about her will have to bear it in catherines case she simply will have bave to put up with it society would stand aghast at the spec bacle of that dear little reu wife with her beautiful b cauti ful home and two good servants ts her adoring hus bus brind and lovely c hild child running away bom fi om it all and she run to her stepfather he her r mother because Is L lewis
