Barber's
Letter
When you read this story it
may seem as unreal to you as
similar stories have seemed to
me when I read them. But I
know one of the three people in
volved and even yet, though the
affair is as settled as such an
affair ever can be settled, think
ing of It can still make me gasp
like the Madam Grundy which
I am not.
The couple had been married
several years before war broke
out. The man was soon inducted
into the army and after a few
months overseas was reported
missing in action. More time
elapsed and the government
notified the woman she must
consider her husband as dead.
That the woman then remar
ried was not because she had
forgotten. Rather was it be
cause she remembered; rememb
ered how sweet it had been to
her alone; some one to whom
every thing she did mattered.
Too, she was still young and the
years stretched ahead. The past
was past and no grieving on her
part could bring it back. So, as I
said, she remarried.
Perhaps her first marriage
had set too high a standard for
marital companionship. In any
case she found there was never
for her the excited expectency
on hearing her husband's ap
proach there had been in those
years she was trying so hard to
forget; never the feeling of one
ness she had once experienced.
She regretted this more for her
new husband's sake than her
own for she knew she was not
giving him what he deserved
an undivided heart. He was a
fine chap and worthy of the
best; not this second best she
brought him, she thought with
wry bitterness at herself for her
lack.
Then this husband too, went
to war. Some way she got the
feeling he was glad to go for
more than patriotic reasons: as
though he realized their relation
ship was not all he had hoped it
would be.
And then, as one raised from
the dead, her first husband re
turned! Instead of hitting the
ceiling, as most husbands would
have done under like circum
stances, he was most understand
ing; saw her remarriage for
what it was a grasping at past
happiness. So they sat down to
gether and wrote the man in the
South Pacific. He never replied;
Just signed whatever papers
were necessary.
The woman told me she likes
to think that in time he will
find a wife who will give him
what she couldn't a heart
never before tenanted by an
other. Clmlnf Umi for sundar T Lata
