David s. - What Irene says
about Stella Is very unfair. Stella
told me right along that one
thing she didn't want to do is to
wreck anybody's marriage-and
certainly not Irene's. They had
been best friends for years.
I have known Stella nearly as
long as I've know Irene. We al
ways liked one another Q lot.
but we didn't realize that we
were in love until after my mar
riage. My marriage was really
my parents fault. They liked
Irene and had me tied up before

me free If things didn't work out
had Q lot to do with It.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Plotting Ones Own Slow Suicide
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

In every home there Is, q dis
tracted husband or wife who
watches helplessly as one, or the
other, goes about killing himself
slowly. If you piled high the
bodies Of those who had COM
mitted "slow suicide" they would
tower over those who had died
in the wars or by road accidents.
Unfortunately. slow suicide is
undramatic. There is not the
sudden shot that splits the air;
or the flash Of q blade: nor the
empty bottle Of sleeping pills.
FOR EXAMPLE, let me show
you how slow suicide works
Months ago I was sitting down
near the far end Of q drugstore
counter. close to the pharmacy
department. I was having q bite
Of lunch when a .well-known in
dustrialist I knew waved, and
continued down to the drug de-
partment.
I could not help hearing him
say to the pharmacist: I've beer
having a lot of gas-and heart
burn. too. And I'm sure I know
what it's due to. 1t started after
a veal dinner I had on the train
a few weeks ago. 1t doesn't seem
to let up. I haven't been the
same since. but 1t seems too silly
to bother my busy doctor about

FAMOUS FABLES

MISTAKE: Editor H. L
Mencken was interested only ir
his work. The amount Of money
he earned was Of secondary i'm.
portanct to him.
During his early years on tn.
Baltimore Sun he rarely counted
the money in his pay envelope
He would merely put the bill
into his pocket until he needed
them.
One day. however, after HI
had been paid. he was waiting
for q friend. who was still ir
line. To occupy the idle mo.
ment he opened the enyelopt
and counted the bills.
What he counted made him
scurry back to the paymaster'i
window.
You made q mistake" said
Mencken. you gave me too
much"
The paymaster counted thu
money and handed 1t back Il
him.
There's no mistake" he said
you got q raise seven week
ago. Don't you remember?"

He has too many real sick people
to take up his time"
The pharmacist listened pa
tiently and said: TOO bad you're
not feeling well. Is there any
thing special I can do?"
And the man answered Eyes.
Let me have a big box Of that
good old-fashioned bicarbonate
my grandmother used to pre-
scribe. That will fix me up"
He waved at me again as he
walked out. ! thought he looked
a bit thinner than usual. The
pharmacist caught my eye and
shrugged his shoulders. Were
we both thinking the same
thing: that our friend was a po-
tential chronic suicide? Was he
killing himself by his procrasti-
nation? Or was it simply a lit
tie hyperacidity?
\ Il
1T WAS A GAMBLE, all right
And I'm sorry to have to re-
port that our man lost the
greatest stakes he had ever
played for: he was dead in SIX
months Of inoperable cancer oil

| pie whose family we tell: I'll

yet he did. Irene marries-yet
she doesn't really marry because
she claims she is willing to give
her husband up-and then she
won't give him up. Stella says
she does not want to wreck

The answer is that here are

Is about.

he wants now Is to prove that
he can still get out Of 1.-The deal"
His talk about loving Stella is
nonsense. This ''love" didn't APP
pear until he began to get scared
that he was stuck. His talk
about his parents getting him

couldn't have forced this mar
rage on him II he had been
willing to accept an adults
responsibility for his own actions.
David and Irene are now up
against the real facts Of married
life. Marriage isn't something
that can be turned on or OF at
the within Of either partner. This
particular marriage hasn't yet
been given a chance.
It wasn't q real marriage In
the first place because neither
partner accepted 1t as Q perm
anent relationship. David and
Irene should get some special
guidance from their clergyman or
a qualified marriage counselor.
They may still become adult
enough to be able to love.
