the circulation has hovered around
this figure, although one month II
sank below 10000. Returns are
distributed among Russian readers
in other countries.
The Russian pay five rubles a
copy. Distribution is handled by
an official Russian agency. Incon-

each copy might have on the aver
age between 18 and 80 readers.
One Of the articles rejected by
the Soviet censorship was by Prof
C. Wright Mills of Columbia Uni

New York Times. It compared how

with totalitarian methods used in

for strength and advice on many subjects the average
widow finds definite help in the companonship of
man which brings us to one Of the problems of most
concern to many widows. They fear gossip if they
60 out with man. They may know that the relation
ship is fatherly brotheriy, but the world doesn't
know it.
Fortunately, just as public opinion has mellowed
in such matters as the wearing of mourning and
various formalities connected with bereavementso
it is gradually growing less critical of widow who
goes out with men friends reasonably soon after
losing her husband If you're recent widow. you'll
have to decide for yourself when the time to start has
come.
BEFoRE you do you might ask yourself the following
test questions:
Are you sure you can get through the evening with
selfcontrol and dgnity1
Can you refrain from making even wordless
appeal to your companions sympathy?
Can you show genuine interest in subjects other
than yourself and your sonow1
If you can answer all three in the Affirmative, our
advice is to accept an invitation from anyone with
whom you'd enjoy going out, whether it's man or a
woman. For you win have reached the place where
you show the consideration for the other person
which the basis for all successful social relationships
fnal and pretty safe rule, is to do anything you
wouldn't think unfeeling if you saw another widow
doing it.
But more important still is that you should do
anything that will help you to be an independent
woman, standing on your own two feet and shaping
your own life now that you're alone.

A WORD
TO WIDOWS
by Marjorie Hills ReulstOn
AsTHoR or LIVE ALONE AnD LIKE IT.

DEAR MRS. R0ULST0M: As the author of ssYou
Can Start All Over.'' how long do You think
widow should follow mourning conyentiong
When may she start going out, etc.?
VIE rules about mourning conventions are growing
less and less strict for people are increasingly aware
that during the difficult period of readjustment
widow needs the help of her friends.
There still, of course, lot of people who will
criticize her unless she remains figure of sorrow far
longer than is wise for her health or kind to those
around her. And they viii criticize her more sharply
than they would man in the same position.
But think what matters is how you. the widow,
feel and what you need to do to get back to normal
and make for yourself an adequate and useful life.
In GENERAL it is better taste not to go to night clubs
to large parties at least for the first few months
But you may 60 to the movies to concerts and the
theater. to small gatherings at friends houses, all
without just criticism (which is the only kind of any
consequence. You may wear black or not, as you
prefer, the one limitation of importance being that
you shouldn't look conspicuous Chats good idea
at any time).
In all probability, you won't want to do any of
these things for time and if you are persuaded to
try it too soon, it win be strain and not very
happy OCCdS1N elteI IO YOU Of FOK unOSe Win WHOM
you CO.
So long you likely to burst into tears at the
drop of hat (and almost everyone is for while)
you'd better limit your social engagements to those
with your family and intimate women friends in your
home or theirs.
You'll find it's best to exclude even the old friends
among your men acquaintance most men have
tender hearts and hate having them touched Besides
they hate scenes, even in private.
just when this phase win pass depends entirely
upon the type of person you are. The individual who
married or living alone, has always needed certain
amount of privacy and hours alone, viii need all the
more time alone to meet and face the problems of
readjustment.
Bur. in the end though grief viii be just as great
the readjustment won't be quite so difficult as for
the opposite type.
The person who has always dreaded being alone for
even short time, the one to whom meals eaten
without companion are desolate and Homecoming
to house with no waiting welcome is mbearably
forlorn, will really need to turn to other people.
Because most married women look to their husbands
