"A card- inal's high trills called me irresis- tibly to the door. Old Ben, our yardman, was gazing upward with a glow that was more than sun- light on his seamed black face. Sure that I had seen his lips mov- ing, I asked, "Were you telling the cardinal how beautiful he is?" "He shorely is one o' God's own sweet miracles, but it wasn't him lwas talkin' to," Ben replied. "You see ma'am I was telIin' the good Lord, how purely proud o' Him, I am-Him that knows how to make I day like this!" And like this. which now move: so silently away.

WlFE'S RESPONSIBLE DEAR C. 8.: You say you mar- ried for all the wrong reasons.

You were the passive party. and "willing victim" as you say, primarily because you had lost (if indeed you'd ever had) the capacity to care positlvely- for another person. In short, you were relying upon her ardor, her devot- ional iniensity, to compensate for your emotional paralysis, figurat- ively speaking. Now you are somewhere in mid- dle age, I gather and bothered as the lengthening past seems to be gaining on the future prospect - so that you feel there is too little time left, in which to salvage all that you've missed, en route. In this mood you are trying to take stock, in a blindfolded sort of way. to determine just what your losses have been and how they came about and how you may recoup. HIS AIMS? It seems you have a hunch that you got off on the wrong road, and thereby forfeited growth towards happiness, when you broke with your first sweetheart. Was the- break induced by your family? In that why you defied the family later, when getting married? Were you determined to show them you'd lead your life your own way? Per- haps your real unconscious deter- mination was to make a mesalli- ance of which they disapproved, to "punish" them as it were, for hav- ing already made a mess of your character (as you felt). Whatever the inside story. it is my impression that your lacklust- er experience has its roots in your psychological processes, and not in your physical circumstances. You just aren't geared to give of your- self, without stint--and this faulty conditioning is your basic problem. With psychiatric help you might dissolve it-and my advice is to read Dr. Edmund l3ergler's book "The Revolt of the Middle Aged Man" (A.A. Wyn publishers). to ving I delicious lunch.
