WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
In the November issue I asked for your answers to the problem of Mrs. R. E., who was faced with a desperate decision as the long-deferred result of a youthful indiscretion. Before her present marriage, Mrs. R. E. had had a child out of wedlock, who had been taken by her sister and brought up as her own even after Mrs. R. E. married and had the two children who now constitute her family. Now the sister has died, and Mrs. R. E.'s brotherin-law, unable to make a home for his family, is planning to send all his children to a children's home for adoption. Can Mrs. R. E. remain silent and see her own little girl go out of her life forever, or can she risk the ruin of her marriage by telling her husband the whole story? Here is the answer which seems to point to the possibility of happiness for everybody concerned. It was sent in by R. Ronson of Boston, Mass., to whom Radio Mirror has sent a $25 check.
Dear Mrs. R. E.: ■
I suggest that you say nothing to your husband about your unfortunate past. You have been married for some years. The time for confession is past. Telling him now can only hurt him so deeply that your marriage must surely break up, and you have no right to hurt him in this way.
As for your daughter, she has come to look upon her departed aunt as her -mother. To reveal yourself to her would be shocking to so young a child, and would leave a scar which might
\
upset her whole future. My advice would be not to tell her, either.
Have a talk with your husband and say— what he probably already knows — that you loved your sister dearly and would like to take in as many of her children as you can possibly afford to shelter and bring them up as your own. It is by no means unusual for a devoted aunt to act in this way, and your husband would surely understand your urge. In this way you can discharge part of the debt you owe your sister, whose unselfishness made your present happiness (Continued on page 79)
