By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I've
been married eight years, have
two children and expect a third
in October. My husband says
now that I bore him. and he goes
out every night on his own.
guess I'm not a very interesting
personality at that. I've never
worked so haven't had much
chance to meet people. I don't
make friends easily, and even
when people are pleasant to me,
I don't hold their friendship
Since I am alone every evening
I'd like something to do after
the children are asleep. Is there
any school where ] can develop
my personality. improve my
mind. or learn to be a more in
teresting person? Perhaps I'll
never be able to win my hus-
bands attention again, but al
least I'd like to have a sense OF
personal mpliShment.-M. s.
ANSWER: High on my list OF
people who meyer would be
missed" is the father who con-
Siders his children uninteresting,
and is bored by the mother who
cares for them all day. This
same father almost Invariably
takes great delight in Dragging
about his offspring. showing
their pictures. accepting con-
gratulations on each new arrival.
But it never occurs to him that
he has any obligation to his
family except to hand over very
reluctantly as little money as
possible to support his wife and
children.
If you think these fathers are
rare, take a look around your
own social circle. Many fathers
grasp any excuse - business
lodge, visits to their own parents
anything to get out of the
house and away from the young
sters. If they'd only make an
effort to become acquainted with
their children and to understand
the manifold problems that daily
beset a harassed mother. they
would acquire an entirely new
idea Of family life. Children are
most interesting, even faScinat-
ing, and the father who deprives
himself Of the joys of their for
NATIVE years is cheating both
himself and his family.
If you can possibly make your
mate see this angle of home
life. Marcia, he may get over
being so bored. Encourage him to
teach the children things, to take
them on little expeditions around
the city SO he'll become better
acquainted with them. Right,
now you seem to have too much
to do to go in for personality
courses and the like, but perhaps
you could inveigle Dad into baby
sitting while you take a course
at the YWCA. or at one of the
colleges in your city. Better still,
hire a baby sitter one night a
week and take hubby along. Then
make determined effort to be
pleasant to your neighbors; ask
some Of them in for an evening
of TV, cards, or, best of all, just
good conversation. Your home
life undoubtedly does need a bit

Why Grow OId7
KeepCoInn
And Stay
Cooler
By Josephine Lowmon

OF course the best way to beat
the summer heat is to sit in an
aforementioned room or lie in
a tub Of cold water or in a ham
mock while some one fans you.
But. many folks do not have
air conditioning. cannot lie in a
tub of cold water much of the
time and have no one to fan
them. So, here are some sug-
gestions which are practical and
will make your summer much
more comfortable If you viii use
them.
Don't Rush
l. Cut out as much hecticness
and hurry as possible. These are
heating. Tempers flare in hot
weather. Keep yours cool and
you will be, too.
2. already have given you
suggestions about eating to beat
the heat. High-calorie and en-
ergy foods are heating.
3. Swim whenever you can.
This cools you of for hours. If
you cannot do that, loaf in a
cool shower or a bubble bath.
4. Although it may not seem
so at the time, exercise coolS
the body. A good workout and
the resulting speed-up in per-
Splration will make you feel
cooler for a long time after
ward. You have to try this to
believe it. Follow your exercise
period with a warm bath and
then a cool shower. You will feel
like a new woman.
Dress Lightly
5. Wear comfortable clothes.
Take advantage of the fad for
play clothes, shorts and pedal
pushers and sundresses and
halters.
6. Do your errands early in the
morning whenever possible and
learn a lesson from the Mexicans.
Pull the blinds, turn on the fan
and take a MONDAY siesta.
