Happiness Of Newlywed Years Isn't
Bounded By The Budget, Says Millett
BY AMY PORTER

In the first place, she won't al

this and when we have that"
She'll like what she has right
now.
And she won't 'talk poor" every
time she and her husband a r e
around friends who have more than
they do. 1t would not only en-
barrass her husband, but her
friends, when she insists on play
ing up her poverty"
Another thing she will avoid is
telling her husband all the ''They.
bought gossip she hears. When she
does mention that the Joneses have
ought a big new car, she doesn't
do it with a note of envy in her
voice.
She doesn't keep nagging: 81
wish we could afford so-and-so."
If they can't afford a thing, she
doesn't sit around wishing out loud
that they could.
TAKES LIFE
AS IT COMES
She doesn't use their low finan-
ces as an excuse for neglecting to
entertain, or for not looking every
bit as attractive as she did BEFORE
she was married. If she hasn't as
much to spend for clothes as she
used to have, she gets busy and
learns how to sew, and she takes
more time with her shopping so
that she gets the most for what
she does spend.
But more important than any
of these, she really is enjoying
today. And because she is con-
tent with things as they are, her
husband looks on getting started
as a fine adventure instead of
wondering YEARLY if he has taken
on a bigger load than he is ca
pable of carrying. 2
