is q search for some glory
through which she can prove
her own worth.
In this frame Of mind Paula
cannot possibly embark on
any successful marriage. Men
who want a complete and
happy relationship in mar
rage will sense that Paula
wants to use them in some
way and viii avoid her. A
man with outwardly desirable
characteristics. but with some
vital inner lack. could fall
into Paula's trap. but the
results are not likely to be
satisfactory.
The answer for Paula is
not to play dumb or to give
up her judgment and marry
a Ounce, but to use her in
telligence to uncover her own
deepest feelings, to recognize
that her own value comes
from within and to learn to
give something Of herself to
others. She will then see that
others are nicer to look at and
listen to than she has sus-
pected.

That was enough for the

Comedian Groucho Marx was
in his lawyers office, going
over his market holdings.
The lawyer shook his head in
dismay as he ran his finger
down the list Of stocks.

he asked. pointing to a stock
which was of 40 points.
Groucho named a famous
financier.
And this one?" 1t was

"Why. the president Of the

Suddenly the lawyer came
to one stock which had fall

to make this sacrifice than

Paula is too critical OF

few and far between.
