ELLEll'S DIARY '

ii, All nine ru-mars Wife

And presently, putting by our cares for the time we rode into the moonlight together. Or did we

not shed these along the quiet miles of road, the colorful aisles sometimes over-arched. and out-

lined in the truck's passing lights? In that companionable under- standing acquired and enjoyed by a pair that has faced the vicini- tudes of life -through years to- gether, we continued our way. "Just for the ride, Ellen," James had said when proposing the out- ing, but in a pleasant coincidence we found the car at length turn

some distance from Alderlea. It

seemed as if James had looked in-'

to our thoughts to read the wish on our mind. "We'll stop just a few minutes, Ellen," Jainu said, "because we have so many things planned for tomorrow, we should be up in good time in the morn- ing." But there was that note in his voice which indicated the visit might be somewhat extended. . . .

The lane to that home is nar- row, and was then lined with col- orful bush and bracken. We caught glimpses of reds and bronzes as the machine dipped to the little rustic bridge spanning the brook and then climbed the gradual as- cent to the buildings . . .

Disappointed Bride Married Less Than Four Months. ' .Sl1o Thinks Mate Umyrnp,a'l'hel'ic

DEAR MISS DIX: I'm a bride of three and a half months with an aching heart. My husband loves himself more than he does me; sometimes 1' wonder what sort of heart he has. Nothing seems to touch him. He hasn't any emotions. I-le'e generous enough with his

money and helps around the house. but it seems thstanythlng he does is for his own benefit. rlage.

I am very: lonely and often unhappy, but my husband never notices it. He's never lonely and thinks it foolish for me to feel that way. , .

When we were married he was very careless about his appearance, and his manners were atrocious. but I have broken him of a lot of his bad habits. This I have achieved by missing, since he wort listen to hint: and reason. It hurts me to have to act that way. I love him dearly and I frequently tell him no, but he seems to think that " 4 it should be taken for granted that he'loves me. He never tells me he does. How can I make him more responsive?

SHEILA D

ANSWER: What you are really lamenting,

Mun" N'”'” Sheila, is the fact that a honeymoon doesn't last forever. Yours did and rather quickly, but as men differ so does their

method and length of courtship. You are facing the inevitable period of marital adjustment. and the resentment with which you approach the task bodes small success for your marriage.

A CONTENTED SPOUSE

The amenities of courtship are, for a man. a means to an end. He wants a wife, and when he has one, he sees no reason why he shculcr continue chasing her. A woman, contrariivise, wants to he wooed forever. Harmony in marriage comes from a reasonable ad- justment-and reasonable, in this instance, usually means that the wife surrenders her romantic dreams and settles for acceptance of her man": obvious content. Be assured, if your husband provides well for you, and helps with household chores, he is content, and a con- tcntr-d husband is a wife's treasure.

You are going overboard on your reform movement: unless you come to II stopping point soon, your man is likely to rebel and bolt. After three months of marriage you want to change his personal habits, increase his romanticism, while retaining all the fine qualities that attracted you in the first place. What's your aim? A Perfect Husband? You can't create one and if you persist in trying you'll wind up with two nervous wrecks in the family-if there's any family left! Don't be so strenuous! Learn to take things a bit easlerand remember there are many, many years of marriage ahead, so don't expect to do all the building in a few months. Your husband sounds like a man who is quietly, but completely, satisfied with everything iabout you and your home. Don't jeopardize his satisfaction by blat- .anlly proclaiming your own discontent. You are the one who should be making the adjustments: get to work and do your part.

All the makings of a fine married life are in your hands; don't let them! slip through your fingers while you try to grab the nebulous stuff of which dreams are made.

DEAR MISS DIX: My brother is 18 years old, and in a- mental hospital. I write him quite frequently and send him magazines and linings to read. His condition is not too serious, and he is apparently irespoiiding to treatment. He will be there for quite some time, how- ever, and I wonder if you could suggest something to send him be- sides food and reading material. FELICIA

ANSWER: I hope you also visit him whenever possible, as nothing means as much to a person in his position as personal c6n- tact with members of the family.

Puzzles and games would make a variation in your packages. Jigsaw puzzles, for instance, not too intricate. could be done by him alone. nr in company with other patients. You could also send him the equipment for pursuing a hobby, such as stamp collecting. Any stamp dealer will give you help in selecting the material he would require. ,

DEAR MISS DIX: After nine years of marriage, my husband has left me ibr another woman withtwhom he is now living in com- mon-law marriage. We had no argument or disagreement; in fact, we have always been very happy. He gives me some money. but I have to pay his debts. My pastor suggested that I see the girl's mother. who told me her daughter never was any good, was lazy, and actually enjoyed hurting other people. My husband tells me to wait, some- thing might happen. He won't promise anything but wants me to keep the apartment up. Do you think I should take legal steps?

OLLIE

ANSWER: If you expect to subsist on the vague hopes evoked by your husband's non-committal statements. you have it long, hard haul ahead. He may come back penitent, and he may not, but you are the one to live out the uncertainty in heartsickness. I think you are making yourself unnecessarily open to heartache by seeing him once a week to collect the money he allows you. Couldn't this be done through si third party or by mail? The less you see of him, the easier it will be for you, Also. just why do you have to pay the debts he contracted? On this score, at least, you should have legal advice.

treatments in three hundred and twenty-four patients seen in private practice by two of the above re- search workers from 1944 to 1949. An additional 119 cases have been seen during 1950 and 195i. Most of these patients have had some pre- vious treatment by the family phy- sician or other skin specialists and about 20 per cent had previous X- ray treatment.

one of the points not emphasized by some skin specialists is that in so many cases of acne (over'.';0 per cent) the metabolism rate (rate at which the body processes work) is below normal, As the metabolism rate is controlled by the thyroid gland, the giving of small doses of thyroid extract daily helps many cases.

In the treatment of acne. these research workers outline: (1) Local treatments (ointments and salves). ultra violet radiation, removal of the blackheads (comedonm) in some, but not all cases. (2) Dietary treatment .. avoid chocolate, nuts. salad dressings; cut down on fats. particularly fried foods and pork fat. Milk was not reduced. High protein (meat, eggs. fish) was ad- vised. ts) Thyroid, 11.5 grains daily, for six weeks in those with a. low or minus metabolism rate. (4) Treatment by female sex extract (ovarian hormones) in some female cases and progesterone in males. 5, Control of secondary infection by germ-killing drugs antibiotics). (6) Treatment of emotional disturb- ances, is these can upset practic- ally ail the working processes of the body.

The results obtained showed that over 60 per cent gave history of improvement during the summer and increase in symptoms during the autumn months. This may point to heavier diet in cold weather. The significant fact was that these satisfactory results were ob- tained without use of X-rays. X- rays have been used for years in treatment of acne.
