Dear Miss Ball:
BY ELGIVA BALL

NEW YORK, (GlobaD -
Dear Miss Ball;
We have a friend, whom I shall
call Helen, who married we'll and
has a nice home. Apparently they
are happy and her husband is ex-
tremely attentive. Helen does not
work outside the home. Her OBJ
legations are only to keep her hus-
band and child happy. He likes her
to be active socially and in COM
munity work. She frequently volun-
teers for such jobs, but never fol-
lows through.
Over period of time, we had
noticed Helen changes friends Of
ten. Now we believe we know the
cause. She can always give you
"the dirt" or "the low-down" on
every person you mention. At
Christmas, she visited Georgia with
her husband and returned with
much gossip about mutual friend.
This information, while not bad,
was not known here before.
How can you stop such a per-
son? l thought she was friend
and her attitude and approach make
me feel that one can confide in her.
I'm afraid of her now. What to
do?
