Those questions you fling at Andy.

dance with her so often then If you
really don't like here" What were you
doing out there in the garden talking
TO Madge7" How often do you write
that woman?" Now that you've known
me so long l suppose you're going to
fall for that new girl"
Oh, yes, I'm sure you're guilty OF re-
marks such as these and even worse.
And If anything In the world were call
culated to drive man away from you
| this form of attack is certainly the most
effective.
Why, what good do you achieve with
these silly, tireSome questions. What
possible benefit is derived from endless
REORGANIZATION?
Don't you know that If your Andy IS
definitely slipping. this nagging will
send him positively whirling away? And
If he isn't even interested in the ladies
you suspect. then your questions amount
TO positive insults and his patience Will
very soon wear out under the strain.
The more you nag a man about an
other woman, the more you drive him
in her direction.
Don't ever get the idea into your fair
head that If you tire him enough with
your questions he'll grow sick to death
of the maiden you fear He won't. He
may even grow more interested in her.
He may get the idea In his head that
she must be just little fond OF him
to inspire so much jealousy on your
| part. And once he does that. my dear,
| he's bound to look her over with consid-
| cradle interest and favor on the occa-
sion of their next meeting
No. you're heading In the wrong d.

Break forth a little friendly interest
when the boy friend becomes enthu~
siastic about another girl. Admire her,
moderately. Agree with him that she's
a cute kid.
II he really loves you his passing ad-
miration for some one else isn't going
to do you any harm.
And II he doesn't really love you, your
irritating jealousy will make him for

You can't hold man by badgering
him to death You can't win his alb

You've got TO use tact and courage
and confidence to win out against this
