10 X&OMen r^Unreß&'ST^ Why My Husband Left Me By DOROTHY DIX. "I lost my husband." said the ■eventh woman, "through my child ren. "Children are popularly supposed to be the strongest bond that holds * husband and wife together. Some times they are, and sometimes they •re the first aid to divorce. It all de pends how much good, hard horse •ense the woman has, and how well ahe understands men. "I didn't understand men at all. I thought that a father was just as much of a father as a mother is a mother, and was just as willing to be offered up as a sacrifice on the altar of a red-faced baby, and by the time I found out my mistake the mischief was done. My happiness was wrecked and our marriage had gone to swell the mountainous matrimonial junk Pile. ; "You remember the old French say-1 ing: 'There are women who are all wives, and other women who are all mothers." Whenever I hear a man ad dress his wife as mother I shudder. It; means that she has failed as a wife, and that she is nothing to him but his children's mother. "When Tom and I were married we I •tarted out with every prospect for 1 happiness. We were rich. We were young and good looking and deeply j In love with each other, and, best of ! all, we were comrades. We liked the same sort of things. We golfed to gether, we automobiled together. We went to the theater together. We had little suppers together. We were the kind of chums that two people may be who are absolutely sympa thetic in every taste and habit. * "Then my baby came, and we were frantio with delight over him. I. in particular, was mad about him. and I not only spent the whole day hanging over his cradle, but put in the eve nings sitting beside it. although therte wasn't the slightest necessity for do ing so. for Toinmie was a sturdy. | healthy little chap, and I had a re liable nurse who knew a hundred times more about taking care of ba bies than I did. H'ho Baby Begins to Figure. '•To my amazement, by the time the baby was a month or six weeks old 2 found out that Tom expected me to take up our usual life. One evening at dinner I saw him looking critically at me. Aren't you feeling quite well again?' he asked me. 'Splendidly.' I replied. 'Then why don't you put on some of your pretty, frilly dresses and do your hair fussy again?' he asked. •Oh. Tom. I can't,' I laughed: baby pulls so at my things and he's so strong he'd tear my laces to tatters' •Humph,' was all that Tom said by way of reply, but 1 could see that he was unconvinced. "I told myself that he was silly to expect me to dress up like 1 used to, and that a mother's tlr-»t duty was to her child, and 1 never suspected what a frump X was degenerating into, nor how I looked to Tom's beauty loving eyes. He used to be so proud of my looks, but he never was again after our first baby came.

'What's the matter with that nurse?* he Inquired; 'if she isn't reli able, turn her off and get somebody • who is. I don't see any reason for ■! our cutting out all our amusements .; just because we happen to have a • ] baby.' 1 "But I refused to even consider such a thing as leaving the baby for a whole evening. 'Suppose he should ; wake up and cry?' I exclaimed tragi cally. 'Well, suppose he does; I guess 'the nurse can give him a little pep ■ permlnt and water as well as you can,' said Tom. "I'd be perfectly mis erable," X objected; and that ended the matter. "Once or twice that Winter Tom did manage to drag me to the theater, but | during the most poignant scene I i would grab his hand and whisper: "Tom, suppose the house is on tire, and nurse has gone away, and the baby should be burned up?" Or. in the midst iof the most laugh-provoking scene, I would sit \ip with a tragical expres sion, and when Tom would ask me what was the matter I'd reply that I jjust feel sure that baby's feet were ! uncovered, or nurse had neglected to ! put a sterilized nipple on his bottle when she fed him. No More Cheerful Evenings. "Nor were our evenings at home much more cheerful, because I would spend hours putting the baby to bed, and after he was tucked in I would sit with one ear strained listening for a wail from the nursery, while Tom vainly tried to interest me in some topic that was absorbing him. So obsessed was I with the baby that I was actually relieved when Tom took to going to the theater without me and spending his evening at his club. Of course I meant to go back and take up our life together when the baby was a little older, but I never did it, for in the succeeding years other children came to us, and I became more and more the mother and less and less the wife. "I ceased to be a companion to my husband. I lost Interest in the things he was interested in. I grew old and dull before my time, shut up in the nursery, and I bored people because my only line of conversation was about the relative merits of baby food, and what Johnnie said, and Tommie did. "And Tom was a man who had to have companionship, who had to be amused, who had to be admired and petted, and made much of, and be cause I neglected him, and he found none of these things at home, he sought them abroad. Such a man never seeks in vain, and at last I came too know that while I had been holding my baby's hand of an eve ning another woman had been hold ing my husband's. "Our children had separated us.
