can do il to sit tight. firm in her
convictions that her home life il
a success and that she intends for
it to remain the same. She might
tell her problem to her husband

happen to disrupt the normal
course of their life. he, like his
wife. will be prepared to deal with
the problem in the way 1t de-
serves.

Dear Mrs. Post: would like 10
know how TO eat lobster. ordered
a broiled lobster in a restaurant
and didn't know whether I was
supposed TO lift the whole thing
from the serving plate on 10 my
dinner plate. whether the shells
were supposed to be put back on
the serving plate. or whether the
melted butter, which was served In
a little dish. should have been pour
ed over the lobster or each forkful
dipped into the butter?
Answer: Ordinarily you should
put the whole lobster on your plate.
But II the plate In very small.

whether you dip each forkful de-

What women don't realize" she
said. "is that they must choose

chosen oonpelet may cause as much
discomfort and unhappiness as
shoes that burn or pinch"
Asked whether she could lay
