Doiefui Wife Is Advised To Avoid TV-Watching

DEAR MARY RAWORTH: Speaking from experience. I have some advice for TS. th e young housewife with one child. who feels practically deserted by her husband, who plans ten- nis every evening after work. then likes to read for self - im- provement after dinner.

He objects to TV as a distra- ction while reading. which fur- thest-offends her, as it is her only diversion. she says.

y advice to her is: St a y away from TV as you would avoid taking dope. T'V-wniching

. . have com- panionship when you haven't.

Read the newspapers. discov— er some aspect the world that you would like to make bet- ter for your children. Get to work on it. by joining a politic- al party or study club or League of Women Voters.

Or get on a church committee devoted to social uplift. 0r join a book club that reads. and re.- gularly meets to discuss. great books. Or take evening courses in adult education and work. however slowly, towards a 'de-

g-ree. instead of whining. demon- strate in action qualities of character that your hus b n it can’t help but admire.

a R MARY HAWORTR: Usually I find your coun sel both penetrating and wise; but I am upset by your attitude to-

e wards TS. the grieving wife of

the tennis - loving man.

True. your basic reasoning is sound: since she's obvioust not going to get any preferent- ial treatment from her self- centered husband. it. is up to her iotake herself in hand and find her own way to peace of

iind. '

But surely the fault isn‘t all hers, for the stalemate in that hnuschold...

In all probability, all she

needs is a few words of real coniprehcns i on and carin from her husband. and her homemaker assignment would immediately seem worthwhile to her. despite its confining as. etc. She probably doesn't really resent. lier h ll s band's having fun at tennis. it's just his apparent assumption that his interests come first with him don‘t really count. that bothers her.

As you may have surmis- ed. my emotional reaction to your counsel stems from av— ing lived through much the same problem — only ours
