YOUR PROBLEMS ANSWERED BY CLAUDETTE COLBERT
Dear Miss Colbert: ,
I am desperately in love with my husband, but he told me not long ago that he didn’t care to continue to live with me. He said there was no other woman and I am sure of that.
When he said that he was packing to move, it almost killed me, but I let him go. He was gone about an hour with everything he owned, then he came back like a soaked puppy and said the room on which he had planned had been rented. Since then he has said nothing more about leaving me. . , . , , ,, , ,
When I try to kiss his cheek, caress his hair and love the^ back of his neck, he simply pushes me away and says he doesnt care
to be fussed over. . , . ,
He is very nervous. This is partly due to his work, which requires long hours and is very taxing. Do you think I am doing right by letting him remain here even though he is so indifferent
to me?

/ believe that if you are tvise you utill cease all demonstration of your affection. There seems to be an immutable natural law that causes a man to leap backward like a cat from a redhot stove if he thinks that a girl cares more for him than he cares for her — even if they are married. Wise women, through all time, have loved deeply but have not allowed men to believe that they were the more deeply beloved.
If you hope to save your marriage, an era of coolness at this time will accomplish twice as much as smothering your husband
in a blanket of affection.

Dear Miss Colbert: .. ...
Here is about the biggest problem a girl can have: I lie like a rug. Personally, I blame it on having wanted to act since I was a little girl but never having gotten enough nerve to walk into a playhouse around here and ask for a course in dramatics or a jo .
I tried to cure myself of this habit one afternoon, by not telling one single lie to anybody. If you only knew what a deadly dull time I had. Those few hours seemed like a thousand years because I had nothing to tell the people I met, and nothing at all to sayOrdinarily, I am quite the life of the party because I pretend that I have just seen a dreadful accident, or I know some secret misbehavior on the part of important people, or I just tell some exciting thing from my family’s past. I know that some of the girls in my gang tell little white lies, but I have never bothered with stupid makeshifts. When I lie I lie about great big important things.
I am hoping you can think of some way to cure me. Please don t
ask me to confess to the kids that most of my. tall stories are lies.
I would never have nerve enough to do that.

I shan't ask you to confess your previous lies to your friends, but in return I must ask you to stop immediately telling
lies Do you realize that what you do is a very dangerous and ’ slanderous thing? You must not make up gossip about important people. My inclination is to tell you that you
