He takes me to a movie only every two weeks—and always to a western, which I hate. He says he can't afford to take me out often- er, Yet when he wants to go alone he finds.a way. "Sometimes he gets mad and walks out—and I don't know why. And lately he does not say a word about our getting married, "I have given up all my friends except one, because he didn't like them. I object to some of the friends he brings around, but al- ways defends them, "This one women friend I have left is older than myself. She says he is making a fool out of me .. .

You will keep the children until he can make other arrangements for them, but only until then. And k when lie comes to your home it must be understood that he comes only to see them.
