Answer—One can pour out tons of advice to people who believe they have found the love that moves the sun and stars, only to find that it falls on deaf ears. A cold-hearted outsider wonders if it is a mere accident that a man reaches middle age without having made a good love adjustment to a - woman. One wonders why he finds himself in love only when he has a good excuse not to marry the woman. If he was so ethical he couldnt marry your friend when he was unable to finance a marriage, why wouldn't the same ethics prevent him from ‘disturbing her sincere

If she is so ethical she can’t live with one man while believing herself to be in love with another, why don’t the same ethics make her aware of the terms of her marriage contract and her vows to-the man who took her in good faith for better or for worse? It . doesn’t ‘make sense to me. I'm afraid’ that these people are using ‘what they believe to be ethics to ease a feeling of guilt + about their own impulses and wishes.« The best thing to do is to give no advice and. let them work it

You will discover draperies to match in the same department, and don’t forget glass curtains. Two glass curtains instead of one on the same window gives an expensive look all out of proportion to the cost of the fabric. The second step of “how to live in one room and like it” is simple. After you have made your room a joy to behold—keep it that way by a systematic cleaning program, sending your drapes and spreads and curtains to the dry cleaners to preserve their texture, straightness of hang and fresh glowing color.
