A few months ago a young girl. working across the hall in the same building in which my husband has his office, fell in love with him and told him just what her feelings to- ward him were. He promptly informed her that he was a‘marrled man, but this has not made her gi\'e him up. She asks him to take her out so that she may be able to talk to him. She waits for him at night so that they may ride home together part of the way. Natur- ally, others notice the attention she pays my husband, and gossip has been inevitable. Do you think that seeing this girl every day will eventually have an effect on him? ,- B. J’. ANSWER: Do not underestimate your danger. Theoretically, a wedding ring should he a hands-off sign and a protection for a man as well as a. woman. But, in reality. it is like one of those insurance policies that are only good as long as you don't try to collect on them. They make you {eel safe and that is about all.’ Taking a mun away from his wife, and especially from a wife who is young and attractive and with whom he is in love, is a job for a iupersircn. It culls for the exercise of every feminine wile and seduc~ lion. It rotiscs every drop of a girl's sporting blood and gives her a kick she docs not get out of an ordinary love affair. NO BIERCY So you need not look for this girl who has fallen in love with your husband to spare you. She will take what she wants, if she can get it. and get a triumphant thrill oi‘ vanity out of being more at- tractive than you are. and a sadistic pleasure out of watching you en- during the tortures inflicted by the green-eyed monster. No man is safe from any woman who is in love with him. She may be homely, unattractive, dull and utterly lacking in charm, but ha cannot rcsist her. l-Ie cannot deal harshly with her. And if the woman who is in love with a man has the advantage of proplnqulty; sooner or later, when he has had a quarrel with his wife or ls feeling unapprccintctl at homo, she will get him. The sum of the whole matter is this, that if your husband doesn't really mczin to be stolen by this little heart thief he must break with her definitely and completely. As long as he runs around with her he encourages her in her nefarious scheme. DEAR MISS DIX: I am married to a man whom I love dearly, but he is no untidy and slouchy in his appearance that he is getting upon my nerves. I want to love him and admire him, but a slovenly unshaven man has always been repulsive to me. My husband is a pro- fessional man and I represent to him that his appearance is a handicap to him, hut he says that is ridiculous. lie buys me nice clothes and expects me to look my best. Why can't he see that an unattractive man is just as little pleasing to a woman as an unattractive woman is to a man? BRIDE ANSWER: I don't know, unless n man thinks that he is so lrre~ sistlble to women anyway that they can't resist him, clean or dirty. and that to be well groomed would be like gliding the lily. But he makes n mistake because women loathe a dirty, siouchy man and are ashamed to be seen out with him. And he makes an even bigger mistake in business if he thinks that his appearance doesn't count. Little as he may like it, he is lgrgely judged by his clothes, for these furnish us with pretty reliable (Continued .on Page 12) r ovary vncluloy — Tron s-Ca node Network.

MOII ABOUT HOME CARE UNDER HOSPITAL SUPERVISION I have written before about the home care. first of elderly patients, and secondly about the home caie of other patients. It. was pointed out that home care meant more beds available for acute cases in our hospitals, and also that the patient and the patient’: family were happier under the plan oi being cued for at home under the supervision of the stat! of the hos- pital. While it is admitted that many cases can only be cared for in hos- pitals because o! the completeness of equipment. there are a great. many cases where routine. care can be given in the home. Notwithstanding the"c0miJ1815B"' equipment of hospitals. Dr. M. Cherkasky in "American Journal of Public Health," New York. states that hospitals. despite their stress on scientific medicine, diagnostic ap- paratus, laboratory examination and other helpful methods of diagnosis and treatment have held book from an understanding of sick people as social human beings. Monteflore Hospital (the work of which in home care I have previously men- tioned) has begun to learn many things about the patient which can only be learned when he is in the bosom of his family. On the other hand. the doctors supervising the care of patients in the patient/s ‘home are realizing more and more the importance of social factors in disease. One thing that all are learning is that some families seem not to waxit the patient back at homi‘. Close investigation reveals that it is not lack of love but fear - fear of illness, fear of impending disaster. fear of inability to do what is re- quired. Fortunately all these fears can be overcome by the hospital staff after deciding that a patient is fit medically and socially to go on hccne care. Social service. visiting nurses’ ser- vices and housekeeping services arc provided. as are transportation. medication and occupational and physical therapy (heat. 111855889. electricity). Home care for ‘suitable patients is not only as good as hos- pital care — it is infinitely better. We can readily understand the‘. only 'suitaible‘ cases will improve under hospital supervised home care. They must be carefully select- ed by the hospital staff. i; Morning Smile i '\'N USEFUL Mrs.,5lmple (opening parcel Just been received from post) "What on earth is this?"
