Paging Brooks Dodge, United

f1ancee Ann Schafer, would much
rather talk about you and your

We know. Because we spent
one afternoon with the first

University's Law Journal, trying
to bring the subject around to
her scholarly attainments, her
career or the letter of the law.
But you won. All the way.
The fact that she is engaged to
be married to you is far more
important to her than any other
subject. Listen:
Politics? No. I think any,
thing like that is very hard to
do if you are a wife and mother. p"
And why did Miss Schafer
decide to take up law-and in
cidentally wind up first in her
class at Georgetown?
Because I feel that law is
good training and discipline
and it might help me fill out my
husbands income tax"

Schafer, II wish Brooks were

Mr.. Dodge. of course, might
disagree. His fiancee, in addition
to her honors at Georgetown,
graduated summa cum laude
from Smith College with a Phi
Beta Kappa key, edited the
Smith College Associated News,
was guest editor for Mademoi-
selle Magazine. and won a years
study of French history at the

Besides that, she has been a

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My hus-
band and I met in college and,
since we had many interests in
common. our marriage. at first.
was happy. Shortly after, however.
I discovered my husband was in
terested lin another woman. /
said nothing about it, hoping it
would blow over. It did-only to
give place to another affair, es-
tablishing what seemed to be an
endless chain. Finally. I spoke to
him and exacted a promise that
it wouldn't happen again. The
promise, as you can probably
guess, was meaningless. He says
his outside activities have Moth
ing to do with our marriage, that
they haven't affected his love for
me. and that since every other
aspect Of our life together is per-
feet. I should overlook this one
deficiency. We have been mar
ried four years and are both in
our mid-twentieS.

ANSWER: Your husbands glib
excuse that adultery has nothing
to do with his marriage is con-
trary to laws Of God and man.
Has he ever read the Ten Com
mandments, the Marriage Serv-
ice, and is he aware that adultery
is the one cause for divorce ac-
cepted by all States? How can he
dismiss so lightly this crime?
He has firmly ensconced him.
self in what. to him, is the ideal
situation of enjoying the freedom
of bachelorhood with the con-
veniences of married life. He has
a habby morality and makes abb
solutely no effort to discipline it.
Nor is it likely that he'll improve
in the future. In fact, now that
you are aware of his unfaithful-
ness, he won't even take the
trouble to hide it.
Existence as the wife of a
chronic philanderer certainly is
not for a self-respecting woman.
No matter how ideal the materi-
alistic side of your life may be,
nothing can atone for the lost
spiritual value. A pleasant home,
nice clothes, a good car, expen-
sive entertainment are poor sub
stitutes for the mutual loyalty
that must be an integral part of
any good marriage. Perfect faith,
on the other hand, has held un-
told numbers of marriages to-
gether through depressions, wars.
poverty, sorrow and every tragedy
under the sun.
With your fine educational
background, your capabilities,
youth and personality, you would
make a success in business any,
where. AS at least a temporary
measure I think it would be wise
to leave your husband and make
a place for yourself in the world.

I temporary Separation Nay
Jolt PhiIunderer Husband

Perhaps a temporary separation
will bring him to his senses and
make him realize the wicked
ness of the life he's been lead
ing.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
husband, whom I love dearly, is
overseas and I'm having a hard
time raising our two children
on the money I get. Yet, his
mother is constantly writing him
for money, which he sends to
her. She really doesn't need it;
her husband and another son
are both working at good jobs.
BIB.
ANSWER: It's very difficult
for man overseas to refuse his
family anything. When one is
so far away from loved ones,
pleasing those at home is i'm
portant. Your monther-in-law
is being very selfish in taking
advantage Of this situation. Ger
tainly, she can see how much
you need every cent you get and
she should be helping instead
of hindering you. Don't write
to your husband about it; COM
planning will only upset him.
You'll just have to speak to your
mother-in-law, or wait until
your Serviceman returns.
DEAR MISS NISSEN:. am
19 years old, and a sophomore
in college. I'm in love with a
boy who lives near me at home
and who is attending the same
college. We date at home, but
he never asks me to go out with
him here. I've told him I love
him, but he hasn't said any,
thing about his feeling for me.
Should ! keep on hoping he'll
come to love me?
WINNIE.
ANSWER: You lost the first
round. Winnie, by usurping the
male prerogative to be the first
declarer of love. Better try a
little reserve now and give him
a chance to recover his equilib-
ruin. Patience will undoubtedly
win out for you in the end.
