He's always complaining about my jealous disposition, but what (can I do? I'm so terribly !ing to lose him. Isn't it perfectly nat- ural to worry when he pays attention to_other girls?" Maybe it's perfectly natural, Gladys. but there are an awful lot of natural things in life that have to be suppressed for the sake of others' pleasure and comfort Your particular kind of jealousy cer- tainly ought to be squelched. It's the most deadly irritant in the world Those questions you fling at Andy. X can almost hear them. “Why did you dance with her so often then if you really don’t lke her?” “What were I doing out there in the garden talking to Madge?” “How often do you write that woman?” “Now that you've known | me so long I suppose you're going to fall for that new girl.” Oh, yes, I'm sure you're guilty of re- marks such as these and even wor And if anything in the world were culated to drive a man away from you this form of attack is certainly the most | effective.

Admire her, moderately. Agree with him that she's a cute kid. If he really loves you, his passing ad- ! miration for some one else isn't going to do you any harm. And if he doesn't really love you, your irritating jealousy will make him for- get whatever feeling he has for you. You can't hold & man by badgering him to death. You can’t win his ab- | solute loyalty and devotion by subjec ing him to a perpetual cross-examina- tion. You've got to use tact and courage and confidence to win out against this Jealousy business.

So have many fathers, [)EAR MISS DIX: My mother-in-law is one of those domineering women Who fhsist on running everything about them. same apartment with her, but I am glad to support her elsewhere. She lives in the same town and spends her days with my wife, only going to her own place at night, but because I do not want her to live with us, my wife considers me a brute and thinks that I treat her very cruelly. Do I? M. P. Answer: Your wife is not only unreasonable but ungrateful. When you for her mother you have done your full cuty to her, and your wife should show a better apprecfation of your generosity. When a man marries he does not assume the obligation of supporting his in-laws, and I often think that there is no finer illustration of the inherent nobility of humanity than the fact that half the men you know are taking care of their wives' parents. The old father or mother was poor and helpless and dependent, and the man shouldered the burden of his or her support, without even realizing that it was a fine and heroic thing to do. For very often the additlon of another mouth to feed and another back to clothe means more work and more self-sacrifice, and often it means having to put up with the whims and crotel 1t has always seemed to me that wives did not sufficiently appreciate the kindness and generosity of their husbands in supporting their parents, and that any woman whose husband had saved her old father or mother from going to the poorhouse could not do enough for him to show her gratitude. law.

Perhaps it is because women, In their hearts, believe that they have a right to monopolize the home and. fill it with their own people if they want to, and that a mere husband has no rights. at all except to pay the bills DOROTHY DIX. I)FAR DOROTHY DIX: Recently my husband had an affair with another woman. He said he loved her very dearly and wanted me to divorce him. However, we have two small children and I did not want to break up my family, and besides I worship him. So after infinite misery on all sides, he Now my trouble is this: I know that he has business calls at night that he is bound to answer, and a meeting of his lodge every Monday, but whenever he sets foot out of the house I go almost insane. If he is gone for 10 minutes, I tell myself that he has been telephoning this woman. While he Is at work I am sick with misery for fear he is seeing her. He wants me to go away for the Summer with the babies. Shall T go? I know T will be tortured with jealousy every minute of the time. Answer: If you smash a vase you can never make it whole again, no matter how artfully you patch together the pieces, and it is the same way with faith in_those we love. again. We are always filled with suspicions. But if you give way to your jealousy as you are dolng, you will truly go cra: Moréover, you are taking the surest way to drive him away from you, because no human being can stand being watched and questioned, and having to furnish an alibi for every minute of the time he is away from home. And no woman 1s more uncomfortable to live with than & jealous one. 1 should advise you to go away for the Summer, as your husband wants you to do. Perhaps When you are away from him you will be able to get a better grip on yourself and see things more normally, and perhaps when you and the children are away, your husband will find that his home means more to him than the other woman Of course, you take the chance of his going back to the other woman, but he will do that anyway, if you continue to nag him.
