Temptation came to her. She fought against it because she loved her husband. She ‘was young and beautiful, of Jewish faith and Turkish birth. Her admirer kept at his siege until he won and she lost. Four months ago Mrs. Hazday came to this country to join her hus- band who had come ahead to make @ new home for her and her children. ‘Two months ago the husband, Behor Hasday, lost his position. Yesterday he went out in search of employment and the wife sent the children to the streets to play. The remorseless uttacks of her conscience finally made her decide to end her life. In her bedroom she bared her breast tefore a mirror and then plunged a ‘smite into her heart. L@TTER WRITTEN BY WOMAN BEFORE ENDING LIFE.
