riage relationship than the ar
bitrary "obey."
If you are planning marriage
with thoughts of being a boss. /
think you should shelve the
whole idea. Establishing a home

person and an underling. It's
something to be undertaken by
two responsible, intelligent, con-
Scientious individuals, each of
whom is fully aware of his or her
respective part. AS children
come, they must be taught that
there's authority in the home
not dictatorship vested in one
parent. There should be a head

What Is q CupoIu?

In architecture, this means a
structure with a rounded top
specifically. it names the small,
dome shaped superstructures
built in the past as lookout posts
on many houses along 5ne New

also names a rounded shape,
the cupola silhouette, introduced
at the recent Paris Sho~ings and

By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: / would
appreciate your views on whether
the wife's promise to "obey"
should be included in her mar
riage vows, together with the
related question of whether the
husband should be the boss of
the wife in the marriage rela-

EUGENE E.
ANSWER: Are you marrying
a wife or hiring a houSekeeper?
Marriage is a partnership -
there's no place in it for a boss,
be it man or wife. Whether or
not the promise to obey should
be included in the marriage cere-
mony is up to the rite of the
church in which the wedding is
held. Most religious services. I
