By DIR. PAUL POPENOE

Many intelligent, well-edu-
Gated women are unmarried in
spite of their assertions that
they want to marry. They
themselves don't know why
they fail. Some of them end
by asserting that they distrust
men, dislike men, or despiSe
men. Annette seems to be one
of these. I'm %. still unmar-
ried and becoming more be-
wildered and hostile to the
whole world" she confesses In
a long and moving letter to me.
Whats the matter with a
girl like me? Why do I seem
secretly to hate men even
though they treat me well?
Are my glands poisoning me
somehow? There are a lot of
other girls like me. You know
it. What can you do for us?"
Yes. we deal with literally
hundreds of such women every
year at The American Insti-
tute of Family Relations, An
nette. Girls of your type are
likely to be so defiantly indie
pendent that they drive men
away even though they don't
want to. One of my colleagues.
Margaret Benton, tells Of three
types.

swers. She tells the counselor
just what to do. She bosses
men around too. Whenever a

2. 'Marge is scared to death
that her personality will be
submerged in marriage; and
whenever man starts getting
serious, she breaks up the
romance"
8. Lillian protests that
homemaking could never be
really satisfying to her. Actu-
ally, she is deeply afraid that
she is too incompetent to be a
good wife, that she would be a
disastrous failure"
The cure in each case is
fairly obvious. Help Eve to
recognize that cooperating
with men will bring her much
more real satisfaction than
competing. Help Marge to
recognize that she can find
even more fulfillment in mar
riage than she does in her job
alone, and that it is not nee

persons.
The upward trend continues
the steady increase which began

But increased hiring by the Fed

working force.
The July figure was 1.8 pei
cent greater than the employ

increase represents in part the
