Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband
has a very bad temper which neither
of US can control. He gets so angry
as to talk to me awfully, and the
next minute he is sorry, but says he
cannot help it as it is his temper.
Could you tell me how to act during
these spells2
He also has some friends that he
thinks a great deal of, but they are
not the best class and I refuse to
associate with them. He often says
he will call on them without me some
day. What should 1 do?
ANXIOUS.
When he gets angry. drop every
thing and walk out of the room.
That will keep you from answering
back Some time, when he is feel
ing good, tell him in a laughing way
that you're going to give an alarm
signal when you see him getting
angry, and then get him to agree
on what the signal should be. Make
1t funny-like "Pickles!" or "Molas-
ses Candy" or anything that will
create a diversion.
AS for your husbands objection
able friends. If they are decent
people their class should not count
with you. Invite the whole bunch
to your house some evening, give
them refreshments and be such a
charming hostess that they will all
vote you a good fellow and think
your husband the lucliest man on
earth. He'll think more of you for
it than if you try to cut out all his
old friends. and he won't be SO an
xious to risk losing you in order to
keep up with them.
