M.J.-l have been a widow two
years. | met a man in October
and we have gone together for a
few months and he asked me to
marry HIM. | accepted his pro-
pCsal We were to be married in
June ana all of my friends ex-
pected US to be married and it
is puttingme out a little as he
has stopped seeing me. Tell me
what to do?
Ans.-It is very fortunate that
you realized you were not suited
before a marriage took place
Your experience is nothing to be
ashamed of it's a blessing
that the truth came out in time.
Now inform your friends that
there will be no marriage and you
should not feel embarrassed at all
about the matter. Meanwhile, get
back into circulation and make
new friends, enjoy life in the full
est and make this episode up as
useful experience.
A.J.-My wife and l don't get
along any more. 1t seems that we
love each other but | don't trust
her and she don't trust me. She
seems to be very grouchy and
mean. Before | went to the army
we got along swell but | have
been home for five months and
we just can't get together on any
thing, What must l do? i.
AnS.-You are acting like
gdren instea9 of twQ grow faps'
people. You admit your loV&E 9nd
devotion for each other, yet You
are both too stubborn to try to
reach satisfactory understanding
regarding your differences. Being
away from home as long as you
were naturally made your wife
feel Independent and self reliant
and II you two are to get along as
before you must wind Yourself
back into her heart instead Of an
tonizing her at the slightest pro
vocation. You must learn to trust
and believe in her if you expec:
the same in return. Stay with yonr
wife and make up your mind that
you are going to overcome thesn
difference at any cost.

chance her eyes fell on it, She see he was

During the next two weeks he managed to

six trains 60 by before he reluctantly de-

avoiding him by riding in the first car! He
worried through the day, skipped his lunch,
and had frightful time falling asleep that
night.
But the spring food rose high again the
next morning when he caught sight of her
in her usual spot. He wanted to ask her
where she'd been the previous day - and
had feeling that she wanted to tell him.

A Short Short Story
TVHIs is a story of young love, story of
Il spring, when the blood is strong,
ardent stream overhowing its banks, some
times running completely out of control.
It's the story of Johnny Appleby. prize
salesman for Sure-Shot Radio Receivers,
who fell in love with face on the subway
Also of Jennifer Borden, an efficient but
not better than average secretary who also
fell in love with face on the subway.
1t was each other they fell in love with.
And yet they'd never spoken.
Johnny noticed her one morning when he
got into the last car of the crowded subway
train. She was clinging to strap with one
hand and holding large book in the other.
Tiny punches of oorn-yellow hair stuck out
from beneath blue beret. The face was
bowl of rich cream, with dash of cherry
for lips and two large plums for eyes.
He took the strap beside her and tried to
read his newspaper. But he kept smelling
the sweet, exciting perfume of her, and he
read the first paragraph of Zach Fosters
column four times without getting the faint
est idea of what it said
1T WAS crazy and wild, and the first time
anything like this had happened to him.
When the train labored around curve, he
took quick glance at her face. He felt the
spring food in his veins rise suddenly higher,
for she'd chosen that instant to look at him.
For an angels breath their glances held.
Then he went back to Zach Foster, and
she to her book.
Two stops later he let his eyes shift nerv-
ously to his right, and saw the title of her
book: The Theatre - From Sophocles to
Saroyan." A fooled, brown-leather book
mark hung over the edge of the book
He liked that immensely; because for

of taking dramatic lessons. The book sort
of established bond between them.
Then the train grunted to stop, and he
had to get off. His heart sank - he might
never see her again. Yet he just couldn't
speak to her - what would you say to
girl you'd never met or even seen before?
He tried to time it so he'd catch the same
train the next morning, and his eyes raced
through the last car as the train stopped
She was there, clinging to a strap! He
pushed in, determined to get the strap next
to hers.
She glanced at him as he took his place,
and he was certain there was the faint
flicker of friendly smile in her eyes, She
