I never questioned him, but, I was aware something was going on. In 1960,_I picked up the paper and read that she had married a prominent attorney. I was shocked as well as relieved. - Although there has been .}-loth_ ing •• : between , this woman and my Husband for several years, the meniory of the affair grows, stronger in my mind every day. My husband has been faithful andattentive but I find 4 Charging 'kidsfor a used TV is ridie loos.

Oh, I admit itis beautiful to look at on a bright winter day, when there's been a fresh fall of a few inches, and the whole world is like ,, Adam and Eve. But when it keeps coming down and coming down, and.. you have to get rid of it, you remember ' that the above-men- tioned pair gat kicked out of paradise, and the rest of us have had to slug .it 'out ever since. - Putting out the garbage. is a simple thing.
