"Dear Anne Hirst: Many of your
letters come from women who have
failed in marriage, and blame, 'the
other woman.' I ani one of those,.
From the standpoint of convention,
I am an outcast.
"When I left
my shift'ess hus-
band, 1 had two
small children.
It was impos-
sible t o find
work, so. I start-
ed going out
with men
A third child was
born.
"Now I've met a man who loves
me and my children. He is willing
to marry me and take care of us.
He has a good position—but he is
Married, and has two grown boys.
CAN'T GET FREE
His wife has refused a divorce.
She has threatened me, too. She
is the nagging kind, who pretends
to be always sick.
"Now I think I am to have his
baby. Since he has always provi-
ded for his family, and will con-
tinue to, don't you think his first
duty is to his -unborn child?
"How can we make his wife see
that it would be best for all con-
cerned to set him free to marry me?
We won't give each other up.
M. G."
* If this man can convince his
* wife that she should free him
* to marry you, he will be one of
* the very few who succeeded.
* Women are possessive creat-
* uses. Once we acquire a man, we
* won't let him go. She will be no
* exception, I expect, particularly
* because a baby is expected. When.
* she learns of that she Ss apt to
* retort: "That's her lookout."

He Made Bigamy
His Occupation
Bigamy is more prevalent in
Britain than in any other Europ-
ean country. At some assizes being
held this month one case in five in-
volves an illegal marriage. Over
the past sic years the average
number of bigamists brought to
trial has been 270. Over four-fifths
of them were male bigamists.
Easy to commit, hard to detect,
bigamy is the meanest of all rack-
ets, inflicting—as one judge put
it "terrible and often permanent
mental injury upon an individual."
Half of all bigamy crimes are
committed for money motives,
usually with the bigamist 'bleed-
ing" his victims after marrying
them, and then disappearing.
At the Old Bailey recently a
case-hardened bigamist was des-
cribed by the judge as "the arch-
type—a cool scoundrel who preys
upon women by offering marriage,
and then taking their money." Six
of this man's eleven fake marriages
were actually made under his own
name, and it was stated in court
that he scorned easily aliases.
In another case the Recorder of
London had before hien a man
whom the police had arrested just
as he was about to marry his thir-
eenth known wife. "Here," said
he Recorder, "we have bigamy
made almost an occupation."
The man had worked a daring
cl.eme to enable him to succeed
at his chosen "occupation." Ile
!aimed to be a member of the
11 ritish Secret Service.
While he was away on one oc-
asion leis sixth 'wife" was sud-
enly taken ill a few hours after
he had left. The police were asked
o get in touch with her husband
which they did efficiently and
promptiy. He was traced to the
home of his eighth "wife," who
protested that he was nobody else's
husband but hers. thus starting the
olire on the trail that led to the
iscovery of his eleven other
marriages."
In Bb irheinoiith- a young bride
was deserted within two days of
tite marriage ceremony by a biga-
mist who not only robbed her of
securities and jewels, but even
took mast of her trousseau. At
Lambeth, -London, when a twenty -
eight -year-old man was accused .of
higamy, it was stated that the two
ives" had been living in the
same street et- York for two
mnnth.
Sheer chance has often brought
thehounds of justice haying at the
bigamist's heels One husband went

plate.
Q. What are the duties„ of, the

Bob, as last Thursday he started
out for Alberta, alone, and driv-
ing his own car. He intends stick-

so the going is bound to be rough
in spots. How wonderful to be
footloose and free! Ever since he
was in training at Wainwright
during the war Bob has wanted
to take a trip back to Alberta. He
expects to be away two months
----.but I have a feeling that the
"two months" may strtch out con-
siderably.
Of course we find it quite lone-
some without him coining in and
