I knew it, or suspected it, before I was married, but I didnt know how serious it was, or that it would affect every phase of my life with him. Now I find myself made completely wretched by his watching me and suspecting me and questioning me, and I dont seem able to cope with the matter at all. To begin with, her letter goes on, I was married three years ago, at 18, to a man more than twice my age. Lewis was 44 then, my mothers friend. My father died when I was a baby; my mother remarried immediately; her second husband being Lewis older brother. Lewis spoiled me when I was a small girl, sent me beautiful presents to school, came to my graduation, and it seemed to me wonderful and romantic to be married that very day. But now I think it was silly to crowd graduation and marriage into one day; I waa so much of a kid that I regretted missing the big dance that evening. Even in my childhood he was jealous, teasing me about liking this boy or that better than I did him. But in those days Lewis seemed to me a sort of god. playing tennis and golf; wearing evening clothes to marvelous parties into which I couldn't even peep, and adored by all his patients. He is an eye doctor. It never occurred to me that he could be serious when he said be was jealous. Inquisitive Hnsbsad. .However, as soen as w were married I found out bow much in earnest be was. From the beginning be wanted to know everything I was doing, or even thinking. I had to read my letters aloud U him before I sent them, and show him the answers. W bad a housekeeper, now my son's nurse, who was asked to accompany me practically everywhere, and was questioned when we got back. Shd is my good friend, by the way, and takes my side in everything. When Junior was born Lewis showed a new side of his Jealousy. He didnt like me to gush over toe baby, sent him away whenever possible. If Junior shows eagerness to reach me, holds out bis arms be is IS months old now Lewis says here now, were not going to have stuff, and often this mothers-bo- y gets the little fellow screaming.

But his continual questioning and suspicions make me nervous, and of late I 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 suddenly emptied a vase I was filling with primroses right over his bead. He was wonderful about it, hut it really frightened me, and I thought that if there is any way to cure him, or cure me If I am to blame, I bad better find out what it IC' is." And there, you luckier women, who are married to men without this particular form of vanity, pettiness and cruelty, is a perfect example of the elderly jealous mate. Waking Is N Fan. It seems great fun to the little beauty of 18 to announce to her awed and envious schoolmates that bp 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 isnt much fun. Catherine has cheated herself out of her happiest young years, years of dancing and house parties, picnics and camping and 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 wasnt Catherine's fault that this path was made so easy for her. If her mother hadnt sense enough to suspect wbat a prison Lewis was preparing for her, Lewis brother might have given her a hint Catherine, at 18. wasn't supposed to know that the flattery and the presents, the plain-gol- d ring and the new estate were just so many chains about her. Win Have to Bear It. In Catherines case she simply wiR have to put up with it Society would stand aghast at the spectacle of that dear tittle pampered wife, with her beautiful home and two good servants, her adoring husband and lovely child, running away from it all. And she couldn't run to her mother, because her stepfather Is Lewis' brother, which would make thincs very awkward. ) What's a musical comedy got to do with winning a war?
