DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
| am a. constant reader of your
column and wish to say enjoy it
very much.

.17-and have been married two
years. have a good husband.
BY that ] mean morally.
He doesn't enjoy dances or par
ties, because he's-well. older and
settled, guess. He's IS years old.
l do enjoy dancing and when
ask him to take me he becomes
angry and claims that it lowers
me to take me to a common dance
hall-a public one l mean. Does
1t really?
l threaten to go with girls, and
then, of course, that is all the
worse. / do want to enjoy our
young years in life and so wish
You would tell me how l can in.

and help support the house and
myself, and go fifty-fifty in every
other way, so why shouldn't he?

cause / dearly love him outside OF

give me an answer? | want some,
one elses opinion besides my own.
A YOUNG WIFE.
am so glad, my dear, that you
love your husband, even though
he does not agree with you on the
subject of dance halls. agree
with him that free public dance
hall is not the best place for rec,
reation. You may meet there un.
Objectionable young men and Wom-
en-, but you are also likely TO meet
degraded types, just because any
one who likes can go. Possibly
you and he could join some club
that, gives occasional dances. Many
of the churches and associations
connected with churches sponsor
dances, the Y. NJ. c. A. and Y. w.
c.. A, for instance. Possibly he
would be willing to take you to a
club dance of that type now and
then. ,,
Happy marriage calls for mutual
adjustment. Since your husband
prefers home in the evening and
you like going out, perhaps he will
compromise by taking you 10
dances or parties of which he APP
proves, once or twice week But
you are right-harmony and love
at home are most important of all!
''Snap Out OF III"
l am a young man y years OF
age and am in love with girl
two years younger. I've only
known her three months but l
have feeling for her, that l
never had for any other girl. She
told me she loves me but says !
am too jealous. And am.
1t makes my blood boil when
any other fellow looks at her. |
love. her very much and would
rather die than hurt or embar-
rass her in any way. Win you
please tell me how to get rid of
the little devil that is. in me?
,FRETFUL1 CONNIE.
I'm glad you realize that jeal-
ousy is little devil'-the one
thing that will hurt the girl you
love more, than anything else and
give her hours of misery, should
you ever marry her. For jealousy
indicates lack of trust of your
friend, unwilingness to risk fair
competition from other friends. a
wish to curtail her reasonable lib
erty of action, hence poor sports
manship in every sense of the
word!
All this. of course, you realize.
What you want to know is how to
overcome jealousy. Well, Connie,
all can say is, to borrow slang
phrase. Snap out of it"' Watch
your thoughts and throw out the
Jealous ones as fast as they occur
to you. replacing them with trust
and unselfish desire that your
friend shall be happy in her own
way, at any cost.
You can do this if you will. So
get busy for the sake of your hap
piness and hers!
