I think that when two people marry they remain two individuals—working in. close partnership, it's true—but still two individuals. Consequently my husband and I have widely different extra-curricular interests and friends, as well as those we share. We enjoy this mutual trust and freedom. I have every confidence in his sincere, never-failing love, affection and companionship, and furthermore, I still have the charming person I married. Friends of mine hauled out the rolling pin when they married. Their husbands are not allowed out at night EVER unless “wifey” goes too. The husbands’ friends aren't welcome in their home, The Golden Rule has been completely eliminated, What I don't get is this. If these friends and Interests were part of the boys with whom the girls fell in love, what makes them so bad now that they are part of the men they married? As a consequence of this jailing of their men these girls have no more of their sweethearts than if they married strangers, We don't even recognize some of the boys whom we knew single—they are suppressed, cowed and unhappy, The wives aren't happy. because they've found themselves married to quiet scared little rabbits when the boys they chose were spirited, aggressive men. The girls look at me in pity—they say my husband will stray. That's laughable—we've had 12 years of happiness that's so great 1 could never wish for more. My husband (dear foolish person) thinks I'm the prettiest woman he knows These other women think their husbands can't stray, but every one of them looks yearningly out of the prison and several have boxes at the post office for secret mall. The men look at me as if I were some special dispensation from Heaven because I let my husband alone to live and breathe and to be a per-|

‘Shall | Take This Boy Back?’

I WENT with a boy for two years and then he went into the Navy and met a girl and went with her six months. Then he quit her and now his cousin tells me he's coming home and wanted me to meet him at the bus. : { He wrote me and told me he loves me very much, I like him very much, too, but I don't know if I should take him back after he went with the other girl, What do you think? BABS. Ybu're putting me on a spot. The boy served his country and we don't want him to think that we've forgotten. Be patriotic—welcome | him home~but don't give him ALL of your attention. { Look him over—he's been gone a long time~-before you get serious ideas.
