A short time ago a man sald to me, in talk ing about his business, “I could not talk this way to my wife—she would not understand.” Have you ever tried?” I asked “No,” he answered reluctantly “Why don't you?” “If I did I would probably say something to anger or hurt her. “Why don’t you say to anger or hurt me?” “T don’t know.
