"Herbert is the youngest son of a very rich family; there are six perfect servants in this house; I have nothing to do. We live with his mother, a widowed sister, and her children. three half-grow- n Everyone else has children. I was in a motor accident in the middle of my first pregnancy, never can have a child. This broke Herberts heart (he was driving), and bla mother heart, too. Nobody cared about my heart. They all apeak languages, have traveled, know about books and music it all comes easy to them. I am not even grammatical; Ive had no chances to Improve. Nobody is unkind to me, but nobody needs me. Often it seems to me that days go by without anyone speaking to me. Oh, they say good morning and more tear but they don't really talk to me and Im not surprised. I'm shy and unhappy and superfluous. Now Herberts going to Africa, and I am left to take up Red Cross work with his mother, read books, listen to the radio. It seems to me I will go mad. What am I doing wrong, what should I do? Can you help me? I feel as if I was in a bad dream. Unhappy Wife Should Leave. Thats the letter, and in answer I say that there are circumstances when the only cure for daily, hourly miseries of jealousy and suffering Is to get out. Such a case is that of the office clerk who is brought into constant contact with the married employer with whom she is in love, or the mother who cannot stand by and see an adored ignorant idle extravagant new wife make her son miserable. Ann has an excellent argument in that Herbert is calmly leaving her to join the armed forces. He is justified; he probably did not even consult her about the step. A war is on, and men are needed. But women are needed, too, and Ann is equally justified in going off to find work of her own. Hard work; work that will bring her into contact with women working as hard as she. The WACs, perhaps, or the WAVES. Or let her get right on the assembly line in one of the thousands of new factories, foundries or machine shops. With her changed clothes, environment, contacts, friendships she will find herself again. Her deadened personality will develop, and good simple common sense will return. She may be the humblest worker of all our 30,000.000 working women; the annals of victory may never hear of her, but she will play her part, just as the tiniest cog and pin and screw of a great battleship plays its part, and success couldnt be achieved without her. Salads are In season summer, winin spring you can really have all the var- ter, fall and spring, but "Members of his family all speak languages, have traveled, know about books and music it all comes easy to them. I am not even gramve had no chance matical; to improve. Nobody is unkind to me, but nobody needs me . . ." That is the unhappy predicament in which Ann finds herself. She married the son of a very rich family, and now hes going to war. She knows that she will not be happy living with his family. According to Miss Norris, Ann is justified in going off to find work of her own. Hard work, work that will bring her into contact with other women working a hard as she does. Or she might join the WACS armed forces. And if Ann is wise, she will begin to study serious, to improve herself in every possible way. Then, when her husband returns, she will be able to take her place at his side, confident that she no longer is superfluous. r sun-su- i going to Africa. it packaged in cotton.
