NEAR DORIS DENE: am eight
- cen and have been seeing one
particular boy regularly. He is quiz
ct, steady and very serious. He is
also jealous of me so that / have
given up all other fellows to please
him. He has no car and we do not
go out very often. / could easily
have a lot of dates and could get
around more than do. did care
for this boy but am frankly getting
tired of him now that see him SO
much. Shall be true to him and
refuse to go out with others-or
shall break off?--A. G.
ANSWER-Obviously you aren't
being true to the steady serious youth
who is Flooding along determined
on marriage. Already you've made
one or two plans for the future
which would shock and grieve the
steady admirer if he could read
your mind.
So why not come right out with
the truth and get it over? The
chances are that you don't want to
part with an absolutely sure thing
in favor of free-lance philander-
ing. But unfortunately you can't
have your freedom and hold on to
a possessive, serious minded sutton,
too. You must make your choice
and under the circumstances, the
only fair decision is to tell your adj
mirer the straight plain truth.
When maiden's fancy begins
turning to thoughts of popularity
with SWANS who own cars and 60
places and do things-then she is a
long way from being in love and
the sooner she advertises the fact.
the more mercifu1 she'll be to the
unfortunates who really love her.
NEAR MISS DENE: What should
- do? We have all the makings
of a happy home. We two are funda-
mentally congenial, although Oppo.
| site I'm +temperament. We have two
delightful children and nice home
we worked for. The bugaboo is
friendly drinking. Only wife who
has known the anguish of waiting
! until daybreak for the husband who
went out on some small errand at
p. m. can understand what 1
have gone through. The excuse he
gives is always lame and uncOn-
vincing. He simply can't keep away
from his friends and his drinking.
1t isn't fair. There are many times
when I have needed him when the
children were sick but always
friends and liquor have won.-G. A.

ANSWERING habit is more insidi-
Gus nor more capable of lasting
harmful effect on any home life
than the cheerful little business of
friendly drinking. Simply because
it all seems so harmless and cosy
and natural, it is allowed to get by
where other more spectacular sins
are condemned.
Actually the pangs Of anxiety a
woman suffers over the constant
standardization of her weak, good
natured irresponsible husband are
as great as those she endures over
a major catastrophe. And it is the
height of cruelty for her husband
to go on pursuing his carefree way
at the expense Of Wornan's in
tense suffering and fear.
Some women have given thenr
whoopee-m making mates free eve-
ming week in which to take care
of their sprees. 1t has often hap
pened that the man who enjoys his
stolen liberty finds freedom dull
when it is eagerly offered him.
Many wife has written to tell me
that her lenience has proved more
effective means of curbing uncon-
trolled drinking than any punish
roent ever devised.
