We want to be fair with her, but we are trying to save up something for the future. and the situa. tion is getting very unpleasant. I wonder if we would not be better off separated, my husband and I to give up the house and go boarding. contributing to her keep each week. and let her live by herself and get a Job? Can you give us a general solution?

. d. "e" b“ M M" canny our PLAN

ANSWER: The solution of your problem is as

plain as the nose on your face. It is for you to

carry out your plan for throwing mother.iri-law on her own, to a great

extent. and forcing her to go to work instead of spending her time parading the street and envying young girls their clothes.

I take it that she has always been one of the parasitic mothers who live on the life blood of their children, and that before her son married she got all of the money he earned. Now. with a wife and try- ing to get a start in the world. her style is cramped. and that makes her dissatisfied and she is complaining and unhappy. And she will break up your home if you don't do something drastic to clarify the situa- tion. and do it at once.

Any able.bodied woman of 55 should be ashamed to be a mlllstonc around the neck of her children. She is just as capable of making a living as they are. and she should do it. If she won't do it of her own accnsd. pressure should be brought to bear upon her to force her to work. Of course. you and your husband will always stand behind her and help her in case of need, but there is no reason for you to as- sume the whole burcsn of her support. She is too young to take a seat on the domothing stool.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am married to a man who is supposedly an intelligent man. He is an officer and a gentleman, captain of a P. T. boat. graduated from college with honors. but he is chronically un- faithful to me. He says he loves me. but that he cannot guarantee ever being true to me since he knows he is basically unstable emotionally. Even his letters are full of these other women and he goes into detail atbout who's who and an appraisal of each other's charms and qual- iies. etc.

We have three dear children and my refusal to divorce him is prim. arily for their sake. I still love him and I could completely forget the past, but I don't know whether it is right to keep on with a traitor in-

stead of a husband. if that's the way he wants to be. E. J. E.

ANSWER: You certainly must be a lady with a forgiving dlsposl. tion if you can overlook all of your husband's aldestepplng. But why do you want to bother with such a man? ‘Phere is nothing true in him that you can tie to, and he will be not-hing but an anxiety and ii heart- ache to you as long as he is in your life

Bur. after all, husbands are a matter of taste and. perhaps, you are happier with a part-time husband. who is a fascinator. than you would be with one who had. better morals and less allure.

We chose this evening for our QlldélVusa mainly because of our circumstances. The fruit had ar- rived in the afternoon.
