MARY HAWORTH

Wife Asks How To Cope With Alcoholic Husbond

Dear Mary Haworth: My hus- band and I are 30 and haVe

been married nearly a year. I had been married before. i love my husband very

dearly but he is weak and has a problem of drink. I have al- ways been self~sufficient. de— pcndable. and. yes. slightly domineering. but not in a nag- ging way. And he. by his own admission. needs someone like me to “straighten him out." We have made progress. though we fight quite a bit. At present. I've told him I plan to leave him after Dc- ccmber lst if he hasn't stopped drinking by then. He says he will try but doubts that he can. and confidentially. so do I. How- ever. I try to be encouraging and conceal my misgivings. He had occasional trouble with the law due to his drinking before we married and was an unstable worker. Now he has a

considerable

quccn. as the case may be. Your path crossed his in pur-l suit of this goal. obviously. And I the next result. simply. is that; you've relinquished your pre-v viously more expensive. more dressy brand of cafe night life for anxiety-ridden pub- crawl- ing of a humbler sort as his , companion. 1 ow can you help yourself?— Iand him? Well. anybody who un-

I derstands the alcoholic‘s modusj operandi will tell you that nur- semaiding is d r u n k e nness won‘t help either of you. enera l. the alcoholic ,docsn't pull himself out of the Iditch and hit the sawdust trail

At the First United Church in Hanna. Alberta marriage vows were exchanged between Miss Shirley Mildred Graumann and Mr. Thomas Brenton Stewart. The bride is the daughter of Mr. Albert E. Graumann and e late Mrs. Graumann of Hanna and the groom is the son of

Bouquets of yellow chrysanthe— mums decorated the altar for the occasion with Rev. J o h n Moules officiating. Yellow roses tied with satin ribbons marked the guest pews.

Given in marriage by her fa- ther the bride wore a full length gown of white bengaline featur- ing a sweetheart neckline of lace with pearl trim and lace sleeves ending in lily point. Her elbow length vcil was hcld by a crown of pearl and droplets of crystal and her bridal bouquet was composed of pink sweet.

But the stress of n ev e r knowing what to expect. a n

enness -— coaxing him to eat, gettinghlm to bed. m a king sure he doesn't start tires with his cigarettcs— has brought me to the breaking point.

He thin k 5 his “innocent” drinking isn't serious enough to warrant a rift. He feels that as long as he stays on the track. more or less. l shouldn't worry about it. Is be right? Should accept the problem and live With it? I'd be miserable with- out him.

To his credit. he dislikes the fact that I am the major wage earner. and that all our posses- sions were mine before we mar~ Pied. as he came to me with nothing. My friends say I "Iow- ered" myself to marry him. as I had a better background. etc.. but he has a gentleness of n a- ture and qualities of character I haven't met in other men.

If It weren't for his drinking I couldn't find one fault with him. He is rfect for me. What in the world shall I do? Pie a se help me.— V.L.

Dear V.L.: In your very lOng letter. here condensed. you strike to the heart of the com- pound problem when you ask: "Considering our weakness and needs. should we stay togeth- er?"
