DEAR s. r.:
VOUR attitude towards your
Il husband is extremel
selfish. which you must admit,
if you sincerely want TO get at
the cause Of your destructive
jealousy and cure il.
The very ouintessence of his
personality, the quality which
makes him the lovable person
that he is, is pcrpetually sun
shiny disposition. which casts
its warmth IN varying degrees
upon all who cross his path,
And in relation to him, your
attitude may be likened to that
OF a sun worshipper, wanting 10
establish an exclusive monopoly
on the sun; wanting none other
TO enjoy or reflect back its rays.
Your first fault is selfshness;
and your second, lack of under
standing.
To illustrate: in company,
your otherwise practically per-
feet husband candidly showers
attention on other women.
and doesn't seem 10 mind in the
least that other men find his
wife attractive.
The second point pains you
almost more than the first: be-
caGse you construe il 10 mean
that he is totally Indifferent TO
you
And there is proof positive Of
your fat failure 10 read the
significance Of his conduct
Alright.
AS a tonic 10 self-esteem.
trade your Jealous impulses as
fast they arise for the glad
realization that this man is
your husband and you are his
wife-that of all the women he
knew, he chose you TO be his
comrade through life. VI. II.

you gain more from a story on
the stage or screen, because
then you both see and hear it.
