Modern Marriage
BY. Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Many people suffer acutely
from shyness. especially when
meeting those they would like
to impress favorably. Some of
them show it plainly in awk-
wardness Of speech and action,
some endure dumb agony. What
ever the surface indications, it
is certain that inside they are
most uncomfortable. Any one in
this dilemma should get busy at
once and attack it as vigorously
as they would any durable Attic
ton. Mrs. D. is one Of these and
she writes:
when I'm introduced to a
stranger, I'm tongue tied. I can't
think of anything to say. I am
so self-conscious that I can't
even remember the other per-
sons name. I'm really handi-
capped in making friends and
taking my part in the COM
munity. My husband has to
front for me, and he is very
sweet about it, but / know he
would be much relieved if I
didn't become embarrassed so
easily. My children are. still
young, but I'm sure that as they
grow older they will feel their
mother isn't all she ought to be.
How's a woman going to go
about conquering a shyness like
mine?"
It's really not very difficult,
Mrs. D. Let's start with this
matter Of remembering names.
If you are introduced in a group,
don't try to remember them all
at once, but fasten on one about
whom there is something dis
tinctive, perhaps an unusual ap-
pearance or a pleasing voice. Re-,
peat the name Immediately as it
is given to you. If it is a name
that could be spelled in more
than one way ask how it is
spelled. You can often start a
conversation gracefully by ask
ing something about the origin
or meaning Of the name, since
all Of us are interested In our
own names and like to talk about
them. Use the name as often as
you can conveniently in talking
with the person.
Once you have the converse
ton started. it's usually easy to
keep it going by being a good
listener and asking an occasional
question. You really don't have
to work too hard on this job.
BE friendly and remember that
the other person is also trying
to make q good impression and is
eager to be liked.
Next, you must subject your
self to a real training in meeting
new situations. Go out of your
way to get into them. Plan to go
to q new place alone once in a
while. Look for new things to

When you initiate in the man

By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I mar
ried Ed five years ago, and our
troubles began three years later.
His mother moved to the coun-
try then, and she has expected
him to visit her every week end,
leaving me at home. While he's
away, I go out with girl friend.
He tells his mother what I'm do
ing, then, she writes me saying
! should stay home and not go
traipsing about.
My husband is a heavy drinker
and though I've asked his mother
to talk to him about this weak
ness, her reply is that he's a man
and should be able to do what he
likes. All I seem to be getting out
of my marriage now is the pleas
ure of working all week to pay
the bills, then spending the week
ends alone. I'm 80 and have no
children. I'm so tired of this
sort of life that think I'd be
better off alone.
LILA o.
ANSWER: Since mother thinks
her son is such a paragon of per-
lection, it would be a good idea
to turn him over to her for a
while. Let her contend with his
moods, his drinking, his ire
Sponsibility so far as money is
concerned. 1t also would give
you a vacation from his tan
trums.
No marriage is successful where
the give" is all on one side, and
the take" on the other. Meek
ness is good trait, in its place,
but it should never become a
synonym for "doormat." To your
husband, you are a source of
meals and laundry during the
week and pocket money when
his salary is spent. The future
promises nothing better, unless
you get out for a while and let
him try to get all this service
from Mamma. A new job and
new environment would do
wonders for you. and win quite
likely bring a dumb husband to
his senses.

look better than you remem-
bered, more like orchids. and
that certain shade of blue-green
on a wall will send" you. The
wallpaper which needs redoing,
or the chair which should be
upholstered, fade into the gen.
eral charm of the place you nave
created and loved.
After a vacation away from
home we are better able to re-
ceive the impact OF its atn1os-
phere.
