MARY HAWORTIPS MAIL

Widow Has Problem Of Choosing Between Boyfriend & Husband

DEAR MARY I-IAWORTH: I am I middle-aged widow, employed. socially active, never lone)y. I have A non happily married and I grind- child whom I adore. My present problem includes two men.

Before I married, I used to date George, a man outside my faith. I had a crush on him and really thought I was in love. He dated me only casually. not nearly as often as I would wish. Then 1 mai- ried a really wonderful man and ad the happiest years of my life.

After my husband's death I took a job and, in the last. five years, I have dated George with increas- ing frequency. although he frank. ly says he has no intention of marrying. While I have hoped he would change his mind, I am leav- ing thls part of my life in God: hands

Meanwhile. the wire of an old friend of mine has died, and al- most immediately he was transfer- red out or town. But each time he returns he gets in touch with me, and lately has been writing more frequently. Now he wants to marry me-and thinks he could persuade me, if he could see me without George about.

Feels Content In Wldowhoiid The widower proposes that I take

a. Florida vacation this year, in company of a. woman friend, stay-

a different hotel, -of course. He is; sure he can win my consent tol

for a whllt. I feel somehow dis- loyal to George; the thought oc- curs that if I up and marry John, he (Georgei will be purt and cm- barrasaed-after our long associa- tion. I believe I am really in love with him.

My son thinks I have much to offer a man iriaiurally a son wouldi, and that I would be better off mar- ried. John has been very successful and mutual financial arrangements for our children could be worked out satisfactorily Am I drifting? My life seems full and happy to me, just the way it is. Please ad- vise.

Learn Lesson From the Past

DEAR. A. B: surely your past experience teaches a memorable lesson concerning the approach to the good life. at present and for the future. Years ago, when you were smitten with George, and try- ing to make-do on crumbs of his attentions. a. 'lreally wonderful man" somehow got through to and married you-giving you the hap- piest years of your life.

Now as A widow you are again meekly subservient to George's sel- fishness, passively awaiting Prov- idential deliverancn from his dic- tum that he doesn't intend to mar- ry. And once igain another man sees you as the ppssible answer to his needs of wholesome fulltime companionship, which he proposes to secure (if possible) in respons- ibly-mlnded fashion.

Well. think back upon what your life might have been-how stale and unprofitable. comparatively-if you had bypassed your husband's society, to spend say the last 20 years accommodating yourself to George's self-enclosed routine. It seems in me that much the same "either-or" proposition confronts you once more. Either you seize the opportunity of it real offer. to become fully occupied with I

State of Life Alters Views

If you rleavc to George, you em- brace futility, in my apinioiivwiih the added risk that he Just might pull Lhe rug out from under even that little, eventually. There is al. .ways the chance that he just might topple into marriage at some iii- tu're time-choosing (or losing his

head over) somebody fresh and new. as late-marrying Lotharlos have been known to do. And how

might that affect you-at a later age?

Inasmuch as you've been leaving the marrying aspect of your situa- tion in the hands of God. I believe you ought to seriously entertain the idea that John may be a heav- en-sent suitor. As you had a wond- erful life with your late husband. whom you married despite your crush on George, it's conceivable the future years might be equally brightened by marriage to John. And in any case. with a iiill pri- vate life regained. as John's wife. lit's likely you'd soon see GEol”;!,(' in perspective, as a waste of time. even though a great charmer.

The. Miracle Of Sight Should Be Cherished

when your family gathers around your beautifully lighted Christmas tree tomorrow evening. think for a moment cwhlt it would be like if your child couldn't see'that tree.

What if your i-youngster could not see at all? It would be a pretzy grim Christmas, a pretty grim life, wouldn't it?

Then take the proper precautions to protect your child's sight.

Child Doesn't Know

You can't depend upon a young- ster to tell you if his eyesight isn't perfect. you know. Usually, he has no concept of what normal sight is, and does not know if there is something wrong with his eyes.

It's up to you to find out. Have his eyes examined but .1 specialist by the time he is three or four. Have it done again when he epters school, and about every two or three years thereafter as long as he is in school.

There's more you can do to pro- tect his eyesight, too.

Make sure he only reads books with large print. Make him hold the books upright at a distance of about 15 inches. Permit him to read only for short periods of time. Make him rest his eyes at frequent intervals.

Let me explain why this is nec- FSJBIY.

A Ilnuulous Period

A baby's eyes are only about two- thlrds as large as they will be when they reach full size at about the age of eight or nine. Before that age, a youngster who reads a. lot, or does close work, demands precise vision from eyes which are imma- ture and vulnerable.

Generally these young ctyes are so short from front to back that they don't bring light rays to focus naturally on the retina. or back- screen. In short, the child is far- sighted.

Proper Focusing

He has a high degree of accom- modation: that is, the ability to change the shape of the eye's lens so it performs the focusing job pro- .perly and produces clear images on the retina.

Now this is hard work for dell- cate young eyes. It might easily strain them.

If your child is nearsighted, it means that the eyeball is too long, instead of too short. Here again care is necessary to prevent strain.

Another common eye ailment is astigmatism. Usually. this is caused by an irregular condition of the cornea. The cornea covers the eye

K much as I crystal covers a watcn.

You know how an irregular spot. in a window glass distorts your vision. Well. anyirregular cornea can also distort and blur your vis- ion that of your child.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

M. It: My skin is dry. What causes this, and what can I do for it?

Answer: The character of the skin varies in different individuals, depending somewhat on the amount of secretion from the fat glands in the skin. Disturbances in the glands of internal secretion, such as lack of thyroid secretion, may be contributing causes for dry- ness of the skin.

In cases where the skin is natu- rally dry, there does not seem to be much that can be done outside of applying a bland ointment.

Select an Easy Your - Particular

Pull up a chair, kick off your shoes. and sit in on an enlighten- ing shopplng trip. We went shop- ping for an,easy chqir and came home with a new viewpoint on how to choose p chair for solid oom- fort.

The furniture man probably never had so many questions asked About a more chair. Since the pointers he gave are figure savers, they are well worth sharing. An upholstered chair. he explained, is a. very par. sonal thing. To fit you, 3 clau- shoiild -be chosen according to your height. For example, the short person will not require the depth of seat from front.to back that I taller person needs. So the right chair for I. lltle woman will hit the fairly shallow scat. That way, the bend of the knees will hit the edge of the chair when the back of the hips is against the chair seat. He admitted that in the put most easy chairs were built for men. Also. that too many men seem to think that the bigger the chair, the more, comfortable it will be of a long winter's evening. That is not true. The more nearly a. chair in scaled to individual size, the more real comfort it affords.

If the seat of a chair is cush- ioned, then the back should be a firm spring back, not softlyi cush- ioned. Or, if the back is soft. then the seat should be firm. Our ex- pert favors a firm back that given support at the small of the back.

For reading purposes, a wing chair or a barrel chair scaled down to size is far better than the soft lounging type. When you sit in I chair that gives proper support, the muscles are not weakened as they are in a lounging position.
