tai clear. SteVe'S discomfort had be-
gun when Anne began neglecting her
appearance. But he didn't talk to her
about it. CT felt silly and uncomfort-
able. How can you tell a woman
things like that?'') Instead, he let his
irritation grow.
Not only did Anne lose her physi-
cal appeal for Steve but he no longer
could take pride in the attractive
woman he had won land this height

There is an answer, within easy
reach of every couple:
AS soon as your mates actions
begin getting under your skin, start
talking. Tell your partner, honestly.
frankly, firmly, how you feel. Get
the problem off your chest and into
the open where it can be faced and
examined. Outside, it is not danger
Gus. Inside, it can destroy.
Now am certain that the point |
am trying to make raises a number
Of questions. Let me try to anticipate
and reply TO the key ones:
Won't speaking 0Hf G6OHf per-
sORGI matters offend the other part
Rer and ShHs make Things worse?
This fear of offending is the buga-
boo that stops most persons from
discussing a problem. True, there
may be some initial shock and
wounded pride. But il a marriage is
based on a firm foundation of love
and unselfishness. frank talk on mat
tiers of crucial importance to one
spouse can do nothing but good in
the long run.

approaching your mate If difficult

are times when = well, I'm not. And

And so on. No man can bride at an
approach like that.
The point is simply this: If the
discussion is kept on a constructive
plane, a partner will not inStinctively

change because he will realize that
love, rather than scorn, is motivating
his mate.
Should yOH speak yOHv mind every
time yOwv mate does something fhGf
diSPIeaSeS yOH?
Absolutely not. It's almost as bad
to talk too quickly as not to talk at
all. Ask yourself:
Are you being overly critical?
Wouldn't you do the same if you
were in his place? Couldn't you
change and accept his shortcoming?
Is it worth making a fuss about?
Most important Of all, is it real
fault or are you just trying to remodel
your spouse? Remember that you
can - and should - do something
about irritations, but you're counting
disaster if you try the impossible and
attempt to alter an entire personality.
A wife, for example, can put her
foot down if her husband continually
comes home late for dinner, upsetting
her entire schedule, particularly if
there are children. But she's looking

Press says the small automobile
still is far from the peak Of its
popularity and from England
comes concurrence.
Donald M. HeaIey, builder of
the Austin-Healey, says that
British car manufacturers will
be in "a hard position to fill
all the orders they have from
the United States in the next
six months"
He said he thought that
much of the American econom-
ic pessimism is due to "over-
production in the auto industry
rather than a true recession"
Eric Larrabee, writing in the
current Report magazine, has
another version. After a long
visit in Detroit, he says the
decline of the car as a symbol
of prestige is the principal rea-
son for the current slump in
automobile sales.
