Bride Offered Suggestions on Making

DEAR MISS DIX: Three months
ago I came to this city as bride
from another state. My husband is
a very reserved man who does not
make friends easily. He works
for a large organization and has
many associates whom he likes
very much and who like him in
return. Most of these men are
married, yet none of them have
brought their wives to see US
We have been to church severa,
times. but we go and leave anc
have met no one at all. My hus-
band and I love each other dearly
yet this continuous and unending
diet of each others society is
getting under our skins. Situated
as I am, I do not know what to
do about it. Can you make any
suggestions on the subjects?
