violin he dislikes so much. And you must have a serious talk with your husband, pointing out to him all of the things you have said to me in this letter. If neither of these things help the situation — and, if it's as bad as you make it sound I'm rather afraid they won't, I suggest you seek competent, trained assistance. Consult the pastor of your church, or your family doctor, who, if they do not feel able to assist you, will be able to direct you to more skilled professional advice. Yours is a large city, where I am sure such advice can be had — free, if necessary. This is a psychological problem and should be treated as such, by someone trained to do so. I believe your minister or your doctor, if they fail to help you themselves, can direct you to that necessary "someone." Joan Davis GO TO THE SOURCE! Dear Joan Davis: I have been going with a girl now for several months and am thinking of marrying her. However, a trusted friend, who says he knew this girl in another city, tells me that she has been married before and collected a large sum of money from her ex-husband when they divorced. She has told me nothing of this. What should I do? C. W. Dear C. W.: Do the simplest thing in the world, my friend — ask her! Gossip, however well-meaning, is unreliable. For correct information, always go to the source. You say you "are thinking of marrying her." Thinking of asking her to marry you, I suppose you mean. Perhaps your proposal might also bring you your answer. A woman very often does not want to bring into the open to a mere friend, no matter how close, a story which may carry with it some very unpleasant memories for her. However, to a man whom she is going to marry she certainly would feel much more willing to tell such a story. And I think you might decide in your own mind exactly how you will feel toward the girl if the story proves to be true. And how you would feel toward this "large sum of money" which was, in all probability, a settlement in lieu of alimony — that is, a lump sum for her support, rather than a monthly alimony payment. But by all means don't pre-judge her. In the first place, you have no right to do so, and I'm afraid if you're prone to make such judgments, without facts upon which to base them, you're hardly adult enough, no matter what your age, to be considering marriage. Joan Davis THE PARENTS COME FIRST Dear Joan Davis: My husband and I have been married for five years, and we don't have any children. We have taken my husband's half-brother to live with us for a while. His mother has tuberculosis, but she isn't in a hospital. We have gotten so attached to the boy I just can't think of his going back to his own home. We can give him more than his own father and mother can, but when school is out they want him to come back home. Do you know any way we could talk his parents into letting him stay? We live in the country and they live in a large city. Mrs. B. G. LARGE BUST ^< /_ Complete Line of "Yuth-Bust" Bra Designs to fit and ^flatter your individual figure type^ Secret Inside Control!
