Pull yourself up out Of your

would like to think that, in marry
ing you, he had exhibited taste and
discretion. He would like to feel
that he had demonstrated his pos

tion to lower him to a level Of ut
ter idiocy. You do your best to
prove that he has deliberately Sc

wilmer. Give him a chance to play
fair by letting him do something
for you. Just abs orb the idea that
you mean just as much, have quite
