WHAT SHOULD SHE DO?

A wartime tragedy is thus recorded from England—the husband that she thought dead, alive, practically a lunatic, and entirely broken in health —her second husband, whom she married in all good faith, also alive and lighting in France. The poor girl had the man whom .she recognised removed to another hospital, and so far she had not disclosed his identity; but she is torn now between her duty to the man whom she once loved and the man to whom her allegiance, is now due. The fact that her first husband is insane provides no reason in English law for divorce. Sim has not yet told her seeond husband of the modei'u Enoek Arden’s return. She dare not confide in any of her relations, because they are all somewhat, priggish and conventional people; it is also difficult to tell the story to friends. She is now going to consult a lawyer, for the probability is that the returned prisoner may live for years, while of course, there is also the other possibility that the man who is fighting in France may be killed at any moment.
