My hus-band and I have been married 15 years. We have two wonderful children and a beautiful home, many friends and no money trouble. There’s only one problem and it’s MINE, not OURS. Walter and I were married only a year when he was drafted into the Army and sent to Korea. He was gone 13 months. Not a day went by that we didn’t write to each other. When he re-turned we were like newlyweds. I took it. The eight years that followed were our happiest. Three weeks ago, death took my darling, very suddenly. The days and nights are lonely, but the warmth of the memories of our last years together will sustain me forever. So, Ann, I want to thank you for helping me, even though I didn’t write to you. YOUR FRIEND IN MARSH-FIELD, WIS. DEAR FRIEND: Your heart-warm-ing letter reminded me of those won-derful words by Robert Frost: “Home is where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in."

Last year he became unusually persist-ent in his questioning. Suddenly I un-derstood why. He was feeling guilty about something. Well, I was right. Walter confessed that he and several buddies went to a Korean house of prostitution to relieve a physical need. That ended our marriage in my heart. I am crushed. I think about it day and night I don't trust him to go
