An Unftiriuwtiale Union

Wife Thought Marriage Would Reform Mate. But She is Disiiiusioned

DEAR. MISS DIX: Five years ago. at the age of 19. I married a than several years older than myself. During the six months of our court- ship I grew to love him deeply and I was sure our marriage would be a success. He came from a distant city. and after our wedding we went lo see his people. Tlicre I discovered that he had been an habitual druiik- Ird. had lived with a. woman fox almost a year. breaking up only when he met me, and was known as a. spendthrift and gambler. I was deeply hurt, but I felt that our mar- riage had changed him. Needless to say. it had not! He soon reverted to all his old ways-and then snme.'lOur children and never have an easy moment. We never know when he'll come in roaring drunk to tear the house apart and, likely as not beat us all.

NORA T.

ANSWER: one of the unahswerable questions of the ages is. why does a. woman shop for a dress or piece of fuiniture with exquisite care. demanding exacting guarantees for her purchase. then select a husband helter-skelter? Nothing could be so fool- hardy as marrying a man without knowing at least some essentials of his habits and of his family. Yet.

x Muriel Nissan

that these folks would have lovely scenes to review when the miles which lie between the here and there should presently return them to their home.

Skipping the odd year. this pair comes to spend a slimmer holiday on The Island. choosing to make their temporary home in a pleas- ant tourist court. whence. when they fancy it. thay make leisurely excursions to visit relatives and friends. or if they wish. entertain folks there. He is a son of The Is- land. another. who setting nut. ad- venturing in his youth did well in the Land to the south. Neverthe-

less. it is his pleasure to come Home holidaying. to follow once more the provcii trails of thosn days when his world was young.

And among these to "go a-fishing."

A pet dog. a small attractive ter- rier. is an esteemed companion and one which the little lad of this Family found especially appealing. He spoke of it this evening when the spreading colors of the sunset. brought him in to his homework of school .. . kl was passing the car on my way to the barn when all at once I found myself looking into two bright eyes. I just. could not believe what I so - he was so tiny and cute- And '1-lei-lo, lit-tic. doggit-!' I said twhatis your name?' And do you know what that dot!

how many girls fail to do this and then they are shocked when they llisoover that their expected prize package is gravely disappointing. No one expects a husband to be perfect. or to have a perfect back- ground. but surely a record of adultery and drunkenness would be enough to restrain s.ny woman. no matter how foolishly in love she might be.

MAY HELP OTHER WOMEN

Pal-laps your story. Nora. may carry ll moral for other women who: may be about to make the same hasty mistake. For your immediatel bettemierit. I suggest. an interview wit.h your local welfare agency. such as the Family service Association. Your affairs are so tangled that only gursonal help will unravel them. I certainly think you should remove your youngsters from the atmosphere of physical brutality. The re- commended agency can help you to readjust from there.

DEAR MISS DIX: Since my mother is a teacher. she wants me to so to college to train for the same profession. However. I would rather go to business school and become a secretary. 'I'm 14 now. and a

sophomore in high school. 5. V.

ANSWER: While it's a good idea to give some thought to your career now. you are still too young to know exactly what you'll want to do three years hence. Finish high school first. then see if you still have 5313 same goal. You know, even though you want to be a secretary. a college education will be valuable to you. Don't insist an ending your education at the high-school level. if your folks want. you to go on to oollege, They are offering you a fine opportunity. but by the time you finish high school. you should be permitted to choose your career. For one thing. teaching is a fine Job that should be undertaken only by those who feel a real calling for it.. It's exacting work. and an unwilling teacher will never do Justice to the profession. Point. this out to Mom. and I'm sure she'll realize that you cant be forced into something you'

:lon't like.

THE FIGHT AGAINST MENTAL DISEASE

when we know that there are more patients in our mental insti- tutions than there are in all other hospitals combined. it should strike I . us hard. However. we are getting so iused to this fact that we accept it land blame it on present world con- ditions.

Thanks to the common senses of our general practitioners who are now alert to early signs of mental disturbances and thanks also to our mental specialists - psychiatrists and neurologists with their newer methods of treatment - headway is really being made in meeting the problem of the increase of ,mental disease. .
