DEAR ABBY
Arguments on Wife-Beotino
By ABIGAIL VAN sUREN

DEAR ABBY: You asked
women to write in and tell
from their own experiences
If a wife could ever make a
go Of her marriage after her
husband hit her. The first
year Of my marriage, my hus-
band used OF beat me up so
bad I was ashamed to be seen
in public. I would have left
him but I was pregnant. We
have been married nine years
and he still beats me up. We
have five children now. I can
tell you this much: 1t would
have been a lot easier to run
with one than with five.
LEARNED TOO LATE.
DEAR ABBY: Can a wom-
an stay happily married to a
man who has hit her? I say
yes! Like all married people,
my husband and I have had
our battles. Sometimes he
loses his temper and socks
me. But he has never hit me
in the face or any place
where the bruises will show.
Also he has never hit me in
front Of the kids. I think this
is very nice of him. I really
can't complaint because I
know when he takes a poke
at me, I usually have it COM
ing.-STILL MARRIED.
DEAR ABBY: I got the
surprise Of my life when my
husband ended an argument
by slapping my face. I picked
up the first thing I could
find, which happened to be
a milk bottle. ! hit him over
the head with 1t. Then !
drove him to the emergency
hospital so the doc could put
IL stitches in his head. That
was % years ago and he has
never raised a hand to me
since. ! thank you.-LILY.
\
DEAR ABBY: The first
time my husband struck me,
I left him. He crawled back
to me on his hands and
knees, begging for just one
more chance. I gave him that
chance. He behaved himself
for q few months, but his
promise didn't mean any,
thing because he hit me
again. He came back. His
mother begged me. His
sisters begged me. I gave
him another chance for an
other promise. In the last
% years he has had more
chances and I have had more
promises than I can count.
Put me down for saying that

is the only son of one of the
most successful businessmen
in our community. And he is
a real gentleman in every
way. When we started max
ing wedding plans Isabel got
the filters. This is natural
but she shouldn't let them
get the better of her.
Isabel A. I know that
everyone is looking at me
as If I were crazy or some
thing. I have no completes
and I'm not afraid of sex.
I just suddenly feel insure
about everything.
It's true that Jim is all
my mother says and I am
very proud that he picked
me out. When he first
showed he was serious, I
was in such a whirl of ex-
element hardly knew What
hit me. Then ! started to
notice trivial things ] didn't
like. 1t may sound silly. but
certain little mannerisms of
his annoy me.
Frankly, when Jim kisses
me no bells ring. Maybe
I'm being overly romantic.
but I'd like to hear them.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We don't think Isabel is
overly romantic or silly.
Mannerisms aren't acciden-
tai. They express something
Of the inner man. That
particular something may be
the very thing that sets up
an antagonistic vibration in
Isabel. The same some
thing" may attract another
woman. We don't think a
sutton must stand or fall
solely on the basis of such
mannerisms, but due heed
should be paid to such warm
ing signals.
Isabel obviously needs more
time to determine just what
it is they signify. Perhaps
this quality is something she
feels she cannot live with, or
it may well be something she
can manage to overlook in
view Of the young mans
many assets.

strict diet by his doctor. One
night during his GONZALES

meal was served.
Churchill watched in ag-

mouth and washed it down
with a glass Of brandy.

The grinning little man Is
about due. He will smile and
jerk his head in autocratic
bows: he will wave his hat at
the people and the $24.50
brown suit will flap around
his fat little legs. He will talk
to workmen throuph an in
terpreter and he will play the
common man among common
men.
I don't know what he's
going to say. BY nature,
Nikita Khrushchev is a taker
rather than a giver. However,
as an average student Of his
tory, ! know that there is a
Marx principle called World
Revolution, and this means
that the Soviet Union is
pledged to convert the world
to Communism no matter
how friendly the Russians
feel at the moment.
When Mr.. Khrushchev
said, in a moment of pique,
that he would bury us, I
think he meant ideologically.
A dead and barren United
States would be a liability to
a victorious Russia.
MY BIG CONCERN about
the visit is the safety of the
Soviet premier. Some of my
work in books Is built around
assassination and I vince
when I think of the task of
the United States Secret
Service. They have to protect
the man whom millions of
Americans regard as the
greatest threat to their lives.
At 4 pm. on the afternoon
that President Lincoln was
shot. he was walking with
Major Crook from the White
House to the War Depart

almost bumped Mr.. Lincoln.

assassination.
