WHEN For example, when you tell a restless, discontented, disillusioned young wife that she will make a grave mistake If she divorces her husband, she flatly doesnt believe you.

She marries a man exactly like Harry, only with a different outside. All very well, writes Anna, from Palm Beach. But what about actual infidelity? Ive been married 17 years. When we had been married about five, and had two girls, Archie had an affair with his office clerk, a divorced woman 10 years older than he. I was sickly, weak, I needed him terribly and he was wonderfully tender with me, and 1 forgave him but I watched! Our son was born, everything went on well for another few years, and then four years ago, it began all over again. This time it was also an older woman, whom he saw whenever business took him to a city a thousand miles away. I found the letter that told the whole story, Immediately got a divorce. Since then I've worked, helped financially by alimony and domestically by my two girls. What would you have advised In this case?

She can pity his weakness that stupid male weakness of the spirit and flesh alike, that so loves flattery!

And she can keep the home together, live for her children, friends, books, garden, kitchen, clubs a thousand normal Interests. She can simply close one door of her heart, the glory of young love and trust. Many a loving elderly man and his wife, rightly proud of their fine children, their home, their place in society, have passed this crisis. Wives have faults, too. Nagging, crossness, neglect oi the children, selfishness these are the grave faults that many a good husband has to forgive. Infidelity is the bitterest cross a wife ever has to bear.

It How much should a wife endure before she turns for relief to the divorce courts? This is a problem that many women have to face at some stage in their married life.
