Old Lot Letters Often Lead To Marital Unrest It can be fun to read over old live letters, but it can also lead to trouble. (Q) "Whenever I gel blue and depressed, I read over the letters my husband wrote me when we were going to gether, before and after our engage m e n t. He went to work in an other stale and I saw him only occai ionally during our en gagemenl, but I heard from him every day. He wrote real love letters, and they made me so happy I could hardly wait un til he was established in busi ness so we could be married. "I kept all his letters and read them over and over again. We have been married 12 years and have two children. My husband is a changed man not the ardent lover of our courtship days. I miss the love I used to get from him, although he is a faithful husband,- a good father and a capable provider. I find that the letters cheer me up for a time, but then I get depressed again thinking of how things used to be. My mother tells me I shouldn't relive the past, since things never remain the same. Do you think she is right?" Mrs. P.C. (A) I think your mother is dead right about this matter. To avoid any temptation to reread the old love letters, why not have a bonfire and burn all of themT You may hata to do this be cause it will suggest you are getting rid of a happy romantic part of your past life. However, old love letters can be a source of trouble. The sooner they are disposed of, the better. Your husband has changed with time, just as you have. But that does not mean he no longer loves you. His love has changed, but it is still there, or he would not be a good husband and fa ther. You cannot expect a man who is approaching middle life and has the responsibility of provid ing for a family to be the same ardent lover as a college boy. His love today is a mature one, not to be compared with the youthful passion he expressed in his letters. (COPYRIGHT 1833.
