The Me young women htve apparently been /taring a pretty good time ml dances, movie* aanndd night clubi with variant admirers. By KATHLEEN NORRIS AN ARMY lieutenant, 37 /-A years old, Writes me from V *>•* *• Wales, where he has been stationed for a year, to ask if he should forgive his wife for ad-- mitted infidelity The wife, Blarvche, is 29; they have been married for 10 years and have one child, a girl of sev.en. Blanche lives in Chicago, keeping house with another army wife, who also has a little daughter. The two young women have apparently been having a pretty good time at dances, theaters, movies, night-clubs, with various admirers. Now she writes her husband, Clark, that in this one instance her affection for one of these men, has gone too far; the man has left Chicago for the South Seas now, and has gone out of her life, but for a few weeks before he went away he and Blanche were lovers. "He is a married man/' Clark writes me, "and Blanche swears that she never will see him again, nor write to him, and that she is ashamed of the whole affair. A week after 1 had her letter, which seemed to crack the actaal ground nader my feet, I had a note from the man*! wife, .informing me of the affair, and that seemed to me to take away a good deal of the . honesty of my wife's admission. Letters from a good many people hint of it, and she may have saspected that I weald hear about it. "For the child's sake she asks me to forgive and forget, and r confess that that is my inclination, for I love my wife, adore my child, and have lived all these months in the thought of returning to our happy little home again. But can a man ever trust a woman after an affair like this? Will she do it again? If anyone else had told me that my sensible, .loving, lovely wife was xapable of this sort of thing I would not have believed it on oath. Be Erred, Toe. • "One other thing," the letter concludes, "which perhaps, may influence your decision. When we bad been married about three years,' when Yvonne was a tiny baby, I bad an affair with a divorced woman who worked in my office. It went onf for more than a year, when Blanche discovered it through the accident of my .addressing her and talking to her dh the telephone one day, believing it was the other woman. I ended the affair, she forgave me, and we never made further allusion to it. Should her generosity then affect me now? I feel it unfaipio consider, a woman's offense in^thia matter more serious than a man's, but I do feel so. Do you?" . • » * Yes, Clark, I do. Especially in this case, where the woman knevi^ well what she was doing. It isn't fair that rules should be different for women and for men, and in a strictly moral sense they are not. But by society they are differently regarded and differently punished, and women from the beginning of time have had to accept the situation. It is generally recognized that women have more self-control in "matters^ of sex than men do, are finer in their feelings, and wise enough to know that for this sort TRUST DESTROYED The p tawing fear of so many married soldier*--that their wives may be unfaithful during the long separation---has become an ugly reality for this army lieutenant. He is 37, and has been married for 10 years to Blanche, who is now 29. They have a 7-year-old daughter. Blanche, who is now living with another officer's wife, has admitted an affair with a married man. She says she is over Her foolishness now, however, and is asking for forgiveness. While the lieutenant has had at least one fling during his married life, he regards his wife's infidelity as something more serious.
