mad, but slurs his wife and says
insinuating things. If the young
woman SO much as glances at an
other man, she is flirting. At loss
to know what to do she writes for
help.
In my opinion, the young hus-
band does not doubt his wife half
so much as he doubts himself. He
is by no means sure of his own
ability to hold her love. Jealous

Jealous people seldom have ex-
pansive, generous personalities.
They do not give out half as much
as they seek to take in. Their in
Stlnct is to draw everything to
themselves and hold it tight.
The popular concept is that wher-
ever you find true love there also
is jealousy, but the reverse is true. A
jealous person loves himself far
more than theobject of his love.
The cure for jealousy lies in the
complete self-education of the per-
son who feels it, and this is far
from an easy task. 1t is not wise
however, to take the early ieal-
ous1es of a young husband too seri-
ouSly, for he often outgrows the
tendency far sooner than his wife
wishes.

jealousy would nurse him

nosed as jaundiced love. 1t is love
fallen sick and grown afraid.
Bit by bit, she should help him
to have confidence in those of his
qualities which are good and to
combat those destructive to their
mutual happiness.
Let her call his attention. to his
strong points and compare him with
other men, to his benefit. Few
women give their husbands as much
admiration as the poor creatures
need for the strengthening of their
wobbly egos.
A well-beloved husband who is
daily made delightfully."- aware of
his own superiority usually is very
unsuSpicious man. Warm physical
love, combined with sincere verbal
admiration, frequently applied, is
the strongest weapon a wife can
use against the unfounded fears
and petty jealousies of her hus-
band.
Dear Jane Joordan-I will be II in
December. NY sister is 81 and has left

we were not human.

ME.
Dear Lonesome Mel wish I had
more than suggestion to offer you
and all the other young victims Of
an ill-tempered. domineering pater-
familias. Much as would like to
see you escape from this cruel situa-
ton, do not at the moment see
any. AS you say, jobs are scarce
even for grown men with expe-
rience.
I do know this. The present set
up won't last forever. 1t isn't as il
you were in prison forever. You
are getting older. The time inevi-
tably will swing around when you
can get work and escape, as your
sister is doing
No doubt she hated her life wher
she was II. too. But she waited
until she could stand on her owr
feet. Just a little longer and you
can follow her example.
