Fortunately only a feiv wives
ever Have to make the decision,
that Rosamond must. It is the
“Enoch Arden” plot—the sup-
posedly dead husband returns
to find lu's ivife married, and
happier than she had ever
been with him. ■
Robert was reported dead
by the war department during
the Tttnisian campaign. Many
months later Rosamond mar-
ried Peter, a fine man she had
known all her life. She already
had a son five years old. Now
she has a baby daughter, Mol-
lie, who resembles her father,
Peter. This little family is
quite happy together. Peter is
successful, jolly and affection-
ate. Robert has a moody and
jealous disposition.
Rosamond nevertheless rea-
lizes that Robert is really her
husband, and that he has
every right to her. The shock
of losing her, after the bitter
years of fighting, and the mis-
ery of life in a German prison
Robert. He is ^coming home
soon, and Rosamond will have
to face him. She doesn't know
what to d(f. The thought of
giving up the delightful life
she is now leading to return to
a.war-weary, jobless man, who
at best was inferior to her
present husband, is almost
maddening. Yet she knows
her duty, and can see no de-
cent way out.

All army sacks - are now(
shrink-proofed, and efforts are
being made to apply the same

A new synthetic, cloth has also

To return to
Robert is more than can be expected
of poor human flesh and blood. She
might make the effort, but to be poor
again, hard-working again, separat-
ed from her laughing baby, miss-
ing Peter—there is a daily, hourly
immolation that would call for su-
pernatural graces of an unusual
kind.
Robert’s jealousy and moodiness
add one more difficult note to a dif-
ficult position. Robert is not apt to
give up his place generously, when
he secs Rosamond’s happiness or
suspects it. He will not subside Into
the amiable family friend, willing to
accept the overflow from the com-
pletely felicitous household.
So I only can recommend prayer
to Rosamond. God's ways are not
our ways. There are unexpected
twists and turns and changes in any
domestic crisis that can remove
from it all the bitterness and ran-
cor. There is a certain mysterious
rightness and smoothness about the
curing of those ills that are taken
to God in prayer. That is the one
unfailing answer.
‘Come home and we will adjust all
these matters. You will see your
adorable boy and believe me, you
are welcome despite these strange
circumstances.’ I hardly could say
less. He has been fighting to pro-
tect these same babies from the hell
that was Nazi Europe. His answer-
ing letter takes it for granted that
I still love him—perhaps in a pity-
ing, sorrowful way I do. Peter will
only say to me, 'We must do what
is right.’ What, in your opinion, is
right?”
