Music Lovers Or Family Strife In A City Home
A wife writes that her husband studying music in the city has formed a close, platonic friendship with a talented young woman whose husband is abroad. The wife feels neglected and plans to move back with her own family. Mary Haworth advises that the alliance is likely not platonic, that the husband’s pampered treatment harms his character, and suggests she return to her own people to regain health and independence. The guidance emphasizes self support and evaluation of the marriage.
