I g0. I'll go for good. that I can't come back to him and the children. I think that ii I could go and have a 1°; ct fun and freedom that I would get this de- sire for pleasure out of me.

what do you advise me to do?

MRS. I. B.

ANSWER: Your case confirms my conviction that one of the chief dangers oi boy and girl marriages is that if they marry before they have had their playtime, they will take it later on in life when it l5 likely to break hearts and wreck homes and ruin lives. For Whwt a boy and girl can do innCcenily enough beccmcs a crime when hus- bands und wives do it.

STARVING FOR. FUN

Yet the husband and wife may still be at an age when every fibre in their natures cries out for excitement and pleasure. Their feet sch-e to dance. They are starving fcr tun. They want to run with ihelr old crcud They xvi-int lo flirt around with other youngsters. And if they are tied down by babies. and if all their money has to go for bills that never seem to get paid l‘.p. and if they have to walk the colic at night instead cf stopping out, it kills their love for each out“... and make, them quarrel and films their marriage into a. fall- tire instead oi a stmctss.

This is your fate. my child. but you brought it on yourself. and ‘the only thing in hcitcr that you can do is to meet the siiuatlon with courage and a detetminatlcn to make the btst of your bargain. Quit thinking about the good times you are missing and concentrate on being a gcod wife and mother. ‘Find your happiness in your home iri- stead of the ballroom and take as much trouble to be as allurinfl

to your husband as you do to boy friends. Don't deceive yourself into thinking that you could have a fling

cn what it feeds cii.

Mly earnest advice to you is that which President Triunan‘: mother always gives him when they part: “Now. eon. (daughter) you behave yourself."

DIIAR MISS DIX: I am very happy except for one thing, My hus- band likes lo have his mother come to our house every Sunday. I have n-a ribjeciicn to gclrg to see her once in a while. and while he was in the Navy I went with him to visit her every time he came acme and I even invited her to my mother's home. where I was stay- ing. when he was heme on leave. But I don't want her around every Sunday.

Don't you think I have a right to my husband's Sundays‘;

ANSWER: Well. I think if you are going to enforce that right you are going to lose the respect and affection of a mighty good hin- bend. You have your husband seven days a week. Surely you might
