You can't get the speech or the
music you're trying to get if the
radio is full of static. Worry is the
static of the mind. Clear that out
and you will hear the message for
you.
Keeping your own counsel is very
wise, especially in small town
where probably your every word is
listened for by those who know far
more about the doings of your FAM
lily than you yourself do. | suggest,
although you think it impossible,
that you go off for visit. taking
the two younger children with you.
Responsibility would fall elsewhere,
your overweight nerves could re-
lax and the absence of opposition
and elashing of wills might be
worth while. Try it and see-you
need the change.
After doing as I have suggested,
write me again, letting me know
the result. And keep on doing your
best.

think it's because they are trying to
fool themselves into pretending they
are young men again. They don't
seem to realize that it's just as silly
to try to pretend they are 20 years
old as it would be to pretend they
were 10 years old and start playing
with tops again. It's all along the
same line. They haven't realized the
Importance of growing up and de
veloping and going on to new and
richer experiences with their own
families, instead of trying to live
over the sensations of period they
should have outgrown. Some wives,

husbands past this foolish age and

to keep on making yourself just as

saved and spent it on some other
woman who knew enough to keep
herself attractive. My suggestion is
that you invite the woman to your
house frequently to a meal and to
spend the evening. Let him see so
much of her that he will get sick of
her. Always manage to be looking
and acting your very best when she
is around. Tell him you want to
make him happy and you want him
to find out whether she is really the
one for him. At the same time be
your most attractive, but let him
think that there's a god big chance
that he may lose you-that you are
