Lance-Corporal Forbes was. with the first batch of troops tcaleerve Australia and headed west with the rest of the bunch from Mersa Matruh. He #as with the first into Tobruk and in the victorious march into Bengasi. Then he hurried off to Greece and got his medal and wound for crossing a bare slope under hot German machine gun fire, carrying messages which saved his platoon from annihilation. At Larissa he tried to get into an ambulance but it was full, so he rode on the back step. A bomb fell in front, killed the driver and the men inside, blew him off his perch and stunned him. He came to for a minute when an Australian was putting him into a bomb crater, and when he woke up again he found that his rescuer had been killed by another bomb. So Forbes' only desire now is to get up aloft with a load of bombs and, give as good as he has taken.

I have 1 reached a point where I must have help or go mad, and I turn to you, chiefly for the reason that 1 know, from your work, "that your advice to Ihose contemplating divorce is usually the single word, 'don't,' and because I myself have the same Pfverence for marriage vows. ;r;^"At nineteen I married a man of 30," the letter goes on. "That was 21 years ago. We had •one child, a daughter who is married and has a son aged two. Her | husband was never particularly sympathetic to either my husband •or myself; he is much older than [Mary, and had the great misfortune I to lose his sight through a laboratory accident two years ago, so that Mary's problem is the care of a lielpless man and a small child, all three supported comfortably by my husband and by a pension. It would xriake me very happy to go to her and help her, but my husband says Id that case he would never send them another' cent, j "Keith has always been a strange •rratic man, but of late years his peculiarities have been so growing upon him that sometimes I am almost afraid to live in a somewhat isolated country house with him •lone. We have three excellent servants, and their efficiency means that I have absolutely nothing to ^ do; nothing makes my husband angrier than to have me interfere in the management of the house in any way. On the cook's night out the downstairs girl cooks and serves dinner, and when the chambermaid is away she also takes on her duties. Keith orders the meals and takes full charge of the whole domestic scene. ? ^Artistic Printer Without Friends. ~~~"He is a solitary, his one interest life his printing press, on which he does very beautiful work, right here in the house. Three or four clerks and boys are always coming and going between us and the city, but he is rarely away from home, and never away for a meal. IBs exercise is walking in the grounds; he does not go to church a»d we have no friends. "I mean that last; we have no friends. If I attempt an occasional committee meeting here or if a callcr comes in in the late afternoon, his hovering about in a state of resentment and impatience is enough to make' certain that it doesn't happen twice. He calls down from the upper hallway a dozen times; 'could 1 see you a moment, dear?' so that the visitor is uncomfortably aware ; _j|f his feeling. "Of late he has been trying rather obviously and clumsily, but unmistakably, to convince me that my mind is failing. The constant nagging and picking that goes on, hour after hour and day after day, has certainly affected my nerves, and I am beginning to do things that in a happier day I would myself have fought 'queer.' "For example, there has been Irfueh discussion of a large glass vase. I took it from our room because such a mass of flowers made my head ache. He had it brought back; the flowers were changed; was it all right now? Presently the - heavy • headachy chrysanthemums were back; 'Lizzie had forgotten to ALL CONCERNED The best solution to a domestic problem is nearly always the one that is best for aU concerned. And so, Kathleen Norris rarely recommends divorce, even when it seems to be the only possible solution. And she does not recommend it to "Emily B." But she does urge Emily to leave her dreary home and difficult husband, at least for a while. She urges her to do this in spite of the fact that Emily's husband has threatened to make their doughter suffer for it. You will be interested to know why. put the right flowers in. What were the right flowers? Would I make a list of them?' I did make a list, but Lizzie 'forgot' again. That time 1 smashed the vase, and Keith went to our doctor and told him a long story of my mental condition. At another time it was a hat. We went to the shop to change it; again he didn't like it. We made a third trip, he assuring me that generous tips to thfe saleswoman made it all right. When a fourth change was suggested I put the hat in the fire,'and a few hours later the doctor 'dropped in,' and presently was asking me tactful questions about my emotional state. Dtftaghter Enlivened Home. "When Mary was home it wa? different; she is like my mother, full of courage, spirit and fun, and quite equal to any little passage-atarms with Keith. But these last years have been lonely and strange, and this latest development seems to me more than anyone could bear. Would you advise me to see another doctor, and get an assurance of sanity? For I am oo more insane than you are! Please help me out of a fog of despair." Dear Emily, of course you are not insane, you are a long way from being insane, and it is much harder for the sane to lose their minds than it sounds. But you are unnecessarily sacrificing yourself in a manner and under circumstances that make the situation decidedly serious, and the sooner you get away from that gloomy dark lonely house, and this man whose peculiarities and selfishness have so grown upon him, the better for both. Pack a small bag of necessities, take all the money you can, and quietly board a bus for Chicago. Go to any employment agency there and get a job as linen woman in a* hotel, extra woman in a hospital kitchen, waitress in a tea-shop, saleswoman in a big department store, or any other of the hundreds of jobs that are going begging now Be sure it is not a lonely office job, but get in among your fellow creatures, and for awhile at least board in a family, or a boarding house where there is a big group. If you can find work among children, whose needs are the best cure for introspective melancholy that 1 know of, or amonn the suffering and needy, your own troubles will blow away from you like fog before e summer sun. Plunge into active, absorbed, exhausting living, go up to your quiet little room and youi books at night healthily wearied and you'll find the cure. • Simple Separation May Hetpu There needn't be a divorce. Thert needn't be any recorded unpleasantness. You need only write Keith that in these days when help is so urgently needed in so many different directions, you could not remain idle; tell him, if you like, to come and see you, go to lunch or dinner with him and let him see for himself that you are happy. of the Reich at Leipzig consisting of , the least lessened by the equally en ___ seven German judges.
