firmative answers and gone
on to happy marriages.
But q woman who is hardy
enough to do the proposing
must also be hardy enough
to accept a rejection without
too much bitterness or suf-
fering. She has no reason
to feel she has "cheapened"
herself.
Since Arnold feels he
needs time to think things
over, Gertrude might as well
make good use of this time
herself. She ought to think
things over and consider
what it would mean to be
married to a man who is
rather reluctant about taking
the plunge.
Such a man is likely to feel
he has been trapped into
marriage. Instead of appreci-
ating the sincerity and
strong character of a woman
like Gertrude. he might feel
resentful of her when the
ordinary and inevitable prob
lens of married life arise.
These are only possible
ties. We don't know Arnold.
Gertrude does. She should
try to study him a little more
through the cool eyes Of rea-
son instead Of the rosy
glasses of love. She should, at
the same time. take another
look around at other men she
knows. If she gives it an hon.
est chance she may find
someone more worthy Of her
love. Arnold's desire for a
chance to think may be for
the best for both of them.

matters is sobriety. but l can

fool Of herself over q man
who doesn't give q hoot for
her.
Gertrude has been in love
with Arnold for nearly two
years. She went through
every trick in the bag before
she managed to get a date
with him. Finally she got
one. They had been going
steady for about a year and
a half, but nothing seemed
to be coming Of 1t.
At last Gertrude decided to
take the plunge and do the
proposing herself. I advised
her against it, but she went
ahead anyway. The answer
was something like "Well.
I'm not sure yet. Give me
time to think it over"
! told Gertrude she should
have her head examined
when she insists upon seeing
him after that. That girl
doesn't know a slap in the
face when she gets it.
Gertrude F.--Maybe I am
a fool; / don't know. I Just
can't help myself. I have
never been so drawn toward
any man and I don't think I
could ever feel this way
about anyone else.
Arnold has explained to me
that he has a lot of respon-
sibilitieS in his family. His
father is dead and he is the
Oldest. Maybe it is Just an
excuse, but ] can't help real
izing that he does have a diff

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: Why
do You occasionally reprint in
your column So O-called "cures"
that some people write abOut2
Doesn't it seem unscientific
Ito reproduce 'facts" that are
not facts at all? After all,
what does q housewife or
anybody else know about
medicine? X. X.
Because there is more than
the science Of medicine in
the art Of medicine. In other
words, 1 try to keep an open
mind. If, for example, doc
tors are up against a stone
wall in treating a certain
patient with arthritiS, that
patient has the right to try a
harmless remedy that has
seemed to work in a similar
patient. I pass it on to my
readers. especially If it has
seemed to help some of my
own patients.
For example, take lemons
in the treatment Of arthritis.
I know a number of patients
who seem to have benefited.
Yet ! will not go out on the
limb and say lemons are
good for arthritis." Neither

that lemon juice is ineffec-
tive"
But I will say this: When
ever I come across q ridicu-
lous cure" that some layman
has cooked up, I viii do my
best to expose it as ineffec-
tive. In that way, / can pro-
tect readers against self
experimentation that may be
harmful.
For instance, here is q
short note about the value of
lemon juice in arthritis. This
is not a harmful "cure" and
may occasionally help where
all our battery Of medicines
has failed:

not seeking glory; neither do

However, I would be happy
to learn if 1 have helped
