, I did. I try to please him but it
seems that I can't. Sometimes he
SAYS he doesn't want to miStreat
me, but he Just keeps right on
anyway. Please tell me what you
think Of this.
LOVE STARVED.
Answer-As long as you are able
to take your husbands remarks
without being moved to reprisals,
he will continue to take pleasure in
wounding you. 1t is a very perverse
impulse, to be sure, which makes
| some persons enjoy %inflicting pain,
but it is one that we come up
| against quite frequently. When
such an individual finds a willing
victim like yourself, there are no
lengths to which he will not go. No
wonder he doesn't want another
woman; no other woman would put
up with him.
I used the word willing because
although the man is intensely dis
agreeable, you still protest that life
would be ashes and dust without
him. AS long as what he does only
makes you love him the more, how
can you expect reform?
You see, you must have enjoyed
your own patience and humility
where he is concerned. You must
have felt some pride in your ability
to refrain from fussing back at such
a domestic tyrant. AS a matter of
fact, righteous anger is a perfectly
legitimate and healthy emotion
which all normal people feel when
the occasion demands it. 1t would
be good for you to get furiously mad
at him and make him suffer to beat
the band when he hurts you I'M
justly.
1t would be interesting to know
in what business the man is en-
gagged. My guess is that his daily
task is n which does not call for
much aggression on his part. A
possible solution of your problem
would be to get the man employed
in a job which taxed his energies
sufficiently to drain some of the ag-
greSsiOn out of his system in a So
cialized form. In that case he
might be more bearable at home.
Dear Jane JOrdan-I like a bow
very much and he seems to like
me, although I think he is rather
girl crazy. One day he had a pin
on and I leased him about how
pretty it looked on my dress. He
has now offered it to me. I talked
to my girl friend and she said
now improper it was to ask for a
boys pin or even hint about it. I
am at a loss what to do. I feel so
dumb. How can I get out of TAX
ing it? I do want it, but I guess
I made a fool of myself.
MISS EGYPT.
Answer-If the boy friend hadn't
wanted you to have the pin, all the
limiting in the world wouldn't have
pried him loose from it. 1t is true
that limiting is a little out of taste.
but since it worked so well, I
wouldn't worry about it. Just for
your own ~self-respect you might be
more careful about such obvious
methods in the future. They would
repell the average boy. But this
one seems to have been fattered by
your desire, so why worry?
Dear Jane Jordan-I am Is
years old and go steady with a
boy Of II. He is the only child
and is a very spoiled young man.
He is good looking, but has a
great many different moods. One
time you like him because of his
frlendlinesS, but at other times he
is hateful and ~overbearing, with
a very boSsy attitude. He is ter
ribly jealous and is always threat
ening to tell my other friends
where to head in. This makes me
angry, though I can't hold a
grudge long. I love him a lot,
but 1 have my time with other
friends when he isn't around. Do
you think I'm doing wrong by
stepping out on him?
BEWILDERED.
Answer-Certainly not. An only
child is accustomed to being the
center of attention, and the sooner
he learns that this is not in accord
with reality the better. At Is your
job is to get acquainted with many
boys. Let your friend tear his hair
if he wants to.
Note-Jane Jordan wishes to thank all
her unknown friends who replied to the
feature article in the series. we Make

folt" will send her address she will receive
a personal reply in answer to her
