indeed the question covered some

He broke off abruptly and fell to
talking in his usual entertaining way
OF everything and nothing. patiently
with the idea OF diverting my mind
from thoughts of Grace Draper.
I enjoyed the rapier-nke play OF
his conversation, but wondered when

Your Problems
MafsAz@;

- Dear Martha Allen: Day by day
my husband is killing my love and
respect for him through his habit of
Using obscene and profane language.
Being very high tempered. he in
sdulges in frequent outbursts of anger,
employing such vile language that 1t
scars my soul. Even in common con-
versation he uses vulgar words and
expressions. After each fit of anger
] am almost i'll and am go nervous
that / am upset for hours. l suffer
mentally what is to suffer physically
from blows, and during ii all he is SO
repulsive that for hours / cannot bear
to have him touch me. l have begged
and pleaded with him for my sake
and that of our year-old baby to
break this habit, but it is of no avail
and he becomes worse as the days go
by. He didn't swear In my presence
before we married, else I never would
have married him.
II I went away on a visit and
stayed until he promised to control
himself. do you suppose he'd really
stop? This is the only solution | can
think of. I am trying to save my
love, but / cannot do 1t and go on
like this. What must ! do? / will
thank you so much for an answer.
TROUBLED.
Displays of temper are as vulgar
and low az obscene language. I
cannot see why any refined girl
should live with a man such as the
one you describe. And to bring up a
little child In such an atmosphere is
a crime. I doubt that you can change
the mamie is born that way. And,
you know, you cannot make silk
purse out of a pigs ear"
Dear Martha Allen: My trouble is
"in-laws." l just received word that
my sister-in-law, a girl of "a, would
be here for her vacation. / am in
crowded quarters with no accommo-
dations for visitors and have not been
well. When my mother-in-law visits,
she always Is dlsagreeable. Don't
you think when you can't be agree
able you should stay apart. whether
friends of relatives? ! get along well
until they come. MARION.
Yes, do think that we should stay
from folks II we cannot be agreeable,
but I suspicion that you haven't a
very sweet disposition yourself Are
you not just bit peevish? Your
letter lacks warmth and friendliness
Are you not a little selfish?
However. / do think that people
should not visit unless they are in
vited.
