I don't thnk that your married life is completely ruined. You can still salvage it. and make your home a real one if you should subordinate yourself to your husband and cease to be a suspicious wife.

When he comes home, surprise him with a cheerful smile and a meal that he likes best. Show him more af f:ection and when. the opportunity presents itself, iiwite ilim to the show-the two of you alone. If you make good start in this and keep it up, you would .nbt be writing me seeking my advice on how to secure a divorce. But at all events write . ' me agam.-Aunt Adora.
