I am becoming so nervous over her letters that after each one of them I have a week of misery for som etimeS my husband will go days without so much as looking my way.
 He wants to go there on a visit and insists that I go along. He up holds her to her face against me the same as he does in letters. You see what a time I have with both of them. It is nothing for her to tell me to shut up If she feels like it.
 Pleas tell me if ought to go. and do you suppose my husband will ever be any different or just selfish all his life? I will be nervous wreck if things don't get better.
 We haven't any children.
 HELEN S.
 You have taken unwise tactics with your husband. Since you know that his love and loyalty to his sister are very strong. you should absolutely re- frain from saying anything that would put him in defense of her. To keep silent when she insults you would not compromise you, because the sting of her words would only react on her. If you sealed your lips tightly and made no comment, your husband would be far more apt to consider the words of his sister unfair.
 Do not let another person poison your life. Remain sweet in spite of the bitterness that comes your way. If you force harsh and resentful thoughts from your mind and think love and happiness. you will be in a better state of mind to keep your husbands love and to live harmoni- ously with him.
 At present I would not advise you to visit the sister. Until you have gained control of your nerves and thoughts you would go all to pieces because of Ter unkind treatment. It would be far better to take a definite stand and to refuse absolutely to go at present.
 Never again say anything regard ing your sister-in-Iaw's letter Even If your husband tries to draw you on the subject, seal your lips tightly and make no comment unless it can be kind.
 It Is foolish to think that another woman can separately cur husband from you by her meanness, unless you are unreasonable too. Be a bigger soul than your sbster-in-1aw, but to be bigger you will have to for get malice and not judge her. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell me where @ book case is supposed l to be? I have it in the den and I people say it belongs in the living room UNDECIDED. It seems to me a den would be a very good place for a book case. In many homes where there are a lot of books. instead of calling the read | ing room den it is called a library. Usually a living room is so full of | life that it is more pleasant to have the books in a more quiet place so that the person reading will not be disturbed by the conversation of | others.
 | Dear Mrs Thompson: When you are out walking with a young man | who claims he loves you, and he has hold of your arm, and then when some older person comes along If he always lets go, do you think he respects you and loves you? When anybody comes along and knows me he always walks little ahead of me. Do you think he cares for me as he says he does?
 He is going away in a few days | Should I kiss him in the station? We are engaged to be married in a few months.
 l I am writing to two young men He says I must not write to them any more Should I stop or not?

 Since you are engaged you should stop writing to the other two youn, men
