DOUBLE LOSS my values have changed, writes Mar-- 1 Jl guerite Williams from Tennessee. I feel as if I were a strange person living in a strange world. Three years ago my splendid son and his wife and two babies lived near me, my daughter lived with me; we were a happy and united family.

Furthermore, his wife and children will not be at home to greet him. Muriel got a divorce and married a richer -- en-tire- ly man. These misfortunes are almost too much for IlouartTt mother to bear. It seems to her so unfair that a man who has lost so much in the service of his country should also suffer heartbreak in domestic life. She wonders what she can do to help Howard readjust himself to his new life. He is 37, and was a lieutenant. His interests run to books and music. "A lew months after bor my daughter married and went to California with her captain husband. who is an instructor in a base camp there. That was a shattering blow, for Betty was 30, and I had rather thought she would always be with me. "Then Howard, my son, went to officers training camp and emerged a lieutenant, being sent immediately to the Philippines. His wife, Muriel, would not move in with me as I suggested, and I soon discovered why. She did not want any particular attention drawn to her conduct from that time en. It was bridge and cocktail parties, night clubs and fashionable bars. She had many beaus; eventually one was more successful than the others, and she wrote to Howie for a divorce. I knew nothing at the time, my first information came from their oldest daughter, who is seven. Heartsick, I tried to reason with Muriel, it was no use. She got a divorce, married her new sweetheart, and moved away, with her children, to a nearby town. Coming Back Blind. What that meant to me I wont attempt to explain. It is Howard in whose interest I am writing you. He is coming home now blind. He will live here with me, without wife, babies, home and without eyes. 'Mrs. Norris," this letter goes on, I have tried to become reconciled to this. I have tried to accept it as Gods will. But I cannot. Rebellion rises up in me and half chokes me.

Leaving home in Hollywood has spelled success to some fine actresses, given them the biggest opportunities of their careers. In the old days the home lots groomed their young players for stardom, then built a fence round them a mile high so no one else would be able to cash In on their success. Today Hollywood doesnt hoard talent it lends at a profit. Because Hollywood is smart enough now to know that when girls leave home theyll return with a better fan following, a higher box office rating, plus experience.
