husband go around our town so dirty
He won't go out with US While at
home. but tells me what good times
he has on the road The children keep
me close at home and it worries me
because he doesn't sem to enjoy gong
out with US. We have no one to leave
the children with and so we have to
take them along l enjoy taking them
wherever ! go, but he doesn't. he
| isn't willing to hire any one to stay
with them and so he goes and have
/ to STAY with them when he is IN town.
! He saws he loves us. Can you tell
me how I could appeal to him to keep
| his personal appearance neater While
at home? l know l can't appeal to him
! by fussing, as he has a violent temper,
| and l have pleaded with him for our
sake to look tidy while in our town. He
will not heed me.
NV neighbors tell me that l am
too good for him, but I don't see what
would gain by acting ugly, too.
How can l break him of cursing? l
ihate to have the children hear their
! father doing it and beg him not to
curse. But it does no good. ". NJ.
| You have learned certainly that it
does no good to correct your husband
and tell him what he ought to do. Prob
ably it makes him rebellious and all
the more set in his ways. Tell him
how fine he looks. Also compliment
him at home about nice little things he
does If he buys a new shirt, neckte
or anything else that you like, don
fail to admire it.
! Probably you have made the mistake
common to wives: you have forgotten
to act as you did in the courtship
days. Instead of thoroughly enjoying
your husband and looking for his ad
mirable qualities. you notice the bad
points in his nature. His better side
ican be brought out now just as it was
in the cid days, but to do so you can
not continue to emphasize matters that
annoy you.
! When you and your husband become
more congenial, l feel confident that
he will be willing to take you places
and to hire some one to stay with the
/. children. Can you imagine how much
you would enjoy being with him, il
ne reminded you that your hair looked
I awful and that your clothes were shah
], by? You have criticized your husband
until he no longer enjoys your com
! pany.

in saying that you are too good tC
