advice Is for the woman in the case

that after Il littlo while. then as long
as she is placid and nice. the thing
may go on in good jog trot style
with about as much pleasure i'm it
as oating suet pudding every day
could give.
Do not begin asking Henry qucs-
lions about little things, but ii he
seems to be keeping something from
you, then say straight ont that YOU
feel ii. and that it hurts you.
Try always that a wall of reserve
does not grow up between you; that
you do not feel that certain sub
jccts arc taboo, and you must avoid
them like the plague!
