What Happens to Men Who Trade Old Wives for New? -- Does a Man Lessen His Wife’s Affection for Him as He Increases His Business Acumen?

Dear Miss Dix-I am writing to you in the hope that other men will read this and profit by my experience. Here is my story:

I became acquainted with a married woman through business dealings and we got to be good frien ds. She told rne how her husband mistreated her and didn't provide for her, and how different he was from me, and I felt sorry for her. and flattered. and fell in love with her. She sued for divorce and her husband seemed glad to give it to her. I-le said she had a bad temper and had never made a home for him, and wasted all he made and ‘an around with other men, but- of course I didn't be- llve it.

I was married to a woman who had always been a good wife to me. She had worked hard to help rne get a start and had been sweet and kind and good and v ' ‘ ilnsclfish and had made me a fine home. And I had lovely children. Bu‘. I was so infatuated with this woman that I thought "“ I was tired of my wife and begged her to give me a divorce.

' She refused for a long time, but finally she told rne that she had held me against my wishes long enough, thinking I might come to my senses, and

‘r she was so liiimillatetl at the life I was living that she had determined to

;_ let me s0-

I had already furnished an apartment for this other woman and bought

l her a. car and given her everything, and as soon as I got the divorce we

were married, but we hadn't been married any tii-ne before she‘ changed

‘ completely.

She had iilvrays had a. sweet disposition, never showed any signs of a

, temper and eyeryiliing I said and did was all right, so I thought life with

i 1 her would be perfect. But now she is a perfect shrew and has never a

I ‘ pleasant word for me. I have given her 15-year-old girl advantages I never

gave my own daughter, and now this child talks to me as if I wm a dog.

My wife goes out at. night to parties and dances with other men and when I object to it she says: "Well, you've got a lot of room to say any- thing to me after the way you cheated on your wile." I told her I didn't be-

-.' t lieve she cared anything for me, only for what I could give her and she re-

V plied: "Well, it certainly has taken you a long time to find that out and

what are you going to do about it? I wont be as easy to get rid of as your first wife. and if you try to do anything about it I've got the evidence

l" that before we were married we took trips together to several States. and

the Mann act makes that a rather unpleasant experience for the man."

.l And there I am, lvfiss Dix, and I'd crawl on my knees and hands back to , w, my first wile and beg her to forgive me and take rne back if only I could get 1 , km away from this woman. Why is it that it takes an awful jolt to make us

r» find out what a mistake we are making, and we can't see it until it is too , I .

late? Why do we think that we are going to escape the fate of others? I am 40 years old and the thought of having to live with this other woman the balance of my life drives me mad. What can I do?

A MISERABLE SINNER.

Q Answer: w‘ ' ' I fear that you will have to bear the fate that you have brought upon yourself, but, like you, I hope that your sufferings will be a warning to some other middle-aged man who is thinking of swapping off a faithful old wile for n new one.

II.I"_

For your experience is not an uncommon one. I get innumerable letters from men who tell the same tale. They are married to good women with .-» whom they have no real fault to find. Wives who have fought the hard - battle of the poor young couple with them, shoulder to shoulder. Wives whom

they know to be faithful and devoted and loyal and possessed of every good quality. But the ‘fight is over. They have got on Easy street and there is nothing in their daily lives to keep them pepped up and full of interest.

So life begins to be dull and monotonous. Their wives take them for granted. and they begin to be restless and to sigh for s little adventure. Then comes along a clever and conscienceless woman who casts an eye over their bank account and begins to think that it is easier w work a. bored. middle- aged man than it is io work a typewriter or work behind a counter.

There are scores of these alleged business women whose real business ls the breaking up of homes and robbing a. wife of her husband and children of their father. Every business man comes continually in contact with them, and if the man is weak and vain and amorous it is as easy to take him away ’ from his family as it is to take candy away from a baby.

Why men who are shrewd enough to pile up; fortune have not sense enough to sec through the arts and wiles of these women is one of the in- ‘ expllcablc mysteries of life. Why a man deludes himself into believing that a woman who lacks principle and morality, and who is selfish and greedy - enough to lake what she wants, no matter what it costs another woman in lieartbresl" and tears. will be honorable and faithful to him, and tender and sympathetic, no one ran explain.

But they do, and nine times out of ten these men find that they have been married just for their money and that these woman care nothing for tnem- Their own brief infatuation dies out, and they would give their lives to undo whaitliej: have done and bac k wlththe old wives whose aflection for them has been put to the test and proved.

The boy entered the office briskly, removed his hat. and turned to the manager. i

"I understand you require a boy. sir?" he said.

‘What sort of a place do you want?" asked the manager.

"One where there is little work and as much pay as the firm can stand.“

"Do you expect to get the kind of Job you want?"

"No, sir; nobody gets exactly what he wants, but it doesn't hurt him to expect a good deal."

“What wages do you should have?"

"Ihirty shillings a week."

"The other boys have been paid only a pound."

"How many boys did you have last year?"

"Nine or ten."

"Ithought so," said the boy. ‘That's the kind of boy you get for a pound. I'm not that kind. I come, I hang up my hat. and stay."

"But suppose we should dismiss you?"

"rd be glad of it, sir. If a firm isn't satisfied with the right kind of boy it isn't the right kind of firm for the right kind of boy to be in."

"Well,“ said the manager, “hang up your hat and consider yourself cn- gaged."
