COMMON OCCURRENCE

Yet this is what. is happening in thousands of cases, and it is one of the major tragedies of the war because it is wrecking so man-y homes and breaking so many women's hearts. There isn't a day that my mail isn't weighted down with tear-sodden letters from anguished and be- wildered wives who say that their husbands have come home from the war so changed that they scarcely know them.

"We had always been so happy together." a women will say, "and my husband had loved his home and been so fond of the children and me. but now he is bored to death at home. lie criticizes everything I do. and he is so cross with the children that they are scared of him." And many and many another wife writestlmt she has had to take the baby to Mother to keep while she gets a job to support it and herself, because her husband has told her that he doesn't. know why. but he has fallenout of love with her, and that he is leaving her.

It is a. sardonic reward that these women receive, after they have prayed so fervently for their husbands to return safely to them,‘ and have worked so hard to keep together 1he little homes for them to come back to, to find out that their husbands have lost their love for them and do not want to come back home.

But. perhaps. the fault is not so much with the soldiers as it is with just circumstances. Fate. Kismet. Whatever you want to call it. Perhaps absence got in its deadly work and alienated two people who might have lived together to their Golden Wedding day if they had not been parted. Perhaps on uncongerlial marriage crashed of its own weakness, Perhaps a lettered soul saw its way to freedom and took it. Perhaps no man knows why he loves, or why he ceases to love. Perhaps you can never lay down a way of life and pick it up again just as if was.

Nerves, suffering and experiences can explain to a wife why her

husband is so changed, but it does not answer her questions: "Will he come back to me? Will he learn- to love me again? Will we be happy once more as We used to be?" Only God can answer these.

But after G. l. has gotten over his war jitters, many a one. who thought he had lost his taste for his wife, will find that she is the I GREAT and ONLY one and love her all he better for her wisdom

and patience in standing by him through his readjustment, instead of

getting u divorce.

An authority recently explumctlio. some puzzled recipients of these forms that they are the notices of coding for pny-as-you-earn ready for the start of the new income tax year in April. when personal allowances go up and the rat-e of tax goes down. while post-war credits come to an end.
