Married People Should Guard
Against Becoming "Snobbish'
BY RUTH

Every married couple has a "col-
lective personality" 1t is made up
of their two personalities-and the
way they influence each other.
Often it becomes vicious, taking
on the faults of both, and building
itself up by tearing everyone else
down.
Two persons-neither Of whom
would think Il am perfect"-find
it easy to think 1--WE are perfect"
And soon they have themselves
believing that they are right about
everything. That their way of liv-
ing, their possessions, their atti-
tudes and beliefs are right. In COM
parison all the other couples they
ing their affairs and just muddling
along.
Believe Their Own Virtues
Are Unique
Before they were married they
accepted their friends pretty much
as they were without feeling su
perior to them.
But once they became a United
Front the attack began.
In the beginning, feeling a bit
sorry for other people made them
draw their own happiness and con-
tentment closer about them. Then,
it wasn't such a bad thing.
But mild pity gradually turned
to contempt, and soon they were
tearing people apart just for the
fun of it. And because it made
them feel superior to point out to
each other all the faults of their
friends and neighbors.
Their collective personality" is
something a couple should watch.
For if they don't, it may become
far inferior to either of them.
Other People Are Really
Not "DOpes"
The best way to guard against
letting it become malicious is to
make it a rule never to build il
up by finding fault with other
people.
The aren't we wonderful and
aren't they dopes' attitude is the
rulnatlon of a collective personality.
