claiming that whisky" amt good

any man, for making him throw
away all his money, for making
him lose all his pride, for making
him lose his wife, for making him
lose his health, for making his lose
all his friends, for making other
folks to not want his company,
for getting him thrown in Jail,
for causing him to get ragged,
for causing him to get put in the
insane asylum, and a number of
other things that I've forgotten,

it's just as much wisdom in that

childless and narrow-but un-
doubtedly strong and warm
with the closeness Of IS years
Of married life behind 1t. Such
q marriage has tremendous
difncuIties, but 1t is not neces-
sarily hopeless.
Doris should recognize that
she'll have to do something to
bolster some of the weak spots
Of marriage to George. She
should. for example, connect
herself strongly with children
in either a job or volunteer
work in order to satisfy some
of her maternal instincts. she
should also try to cultivate
good friends and vital inter-
ests that take up her excess
time and energy and draw
her beyond the narrow life
with her husband.
On the other hand, there is
the possibility Of a new life
with q second husband and
possibly the fulfillment Of
family life. This calls for
courage. 1t isn't easy for a
iong-married woman to throw
herself into the cold waters Of
the misunderstanding sea. It Is
particularly hard if land and
safety are not farm the per-
son Of George, But the dam
gerous journey may bring q
richer return.
Nobody can tell Doris which
is the right decision. But she
must make one-and the
sooner the better.

when ! married him and I
have never stopped loving
him. I know he must seem

I'd be HAPPIER without him.
But when ! started to set

It Is not easy for O woman Of

hear that ! beliere men them

recognise that they can help
troubled and unhappy sUiUes
to be more sCOns0nly.
/ have two suggestions for
any man who complains that his
wife is wearing the pants in his
family:
.. Act like q mon. A husband
should gladly accept the respon-
sibility Of being the breadwinner
and head of the family. If he
unloads this responsibility on
his wife, he can't blame her for
becoming dominating.
At the same time, he should
treat his wife as an equal part

riage is a true partnership, both

z. Give her appreciation. The
deepest principle in human ma
ture is the craving to be aPPre-
ciated," philosopher William
James once said. Fewer women
would demand careers if they
were made to feel proud Of their
roles as wives and mothers. In
stead, neither a husband nor
our society gives the housewife
nearly enough recognition.
Millions Of American women
now apologetically say, "Oh,
I'm just a housewife" But, in
fact, what other job is more i'm
portant than that? A successful
mother and wife has to be a
cook, nurse, laundress, nutri-
ZIONIST, economist, teacher,
chauffeur, diplomat, psychOlo-
gist, glamour girl and whatnot.
1t takes more patience to be a
good mother than an atomic
scientist. And what man is do
ing anything more important
than a mothers job Of bringing
up the next generation?
MYTH the help of their hus-
w bands, the too-large group
of dominating, unfeminine
wives can learn to accept their
biological destiny as mothers
and homemakers. The modern
American woman must re-dis-
cover the ancient wisdom that
her greatest happiness will come
from completely, gladly being
feminine = not in trying to act
like a man. The Ind
