We'd have married long ago, only he has no money. CONFUSED, CITY. Marrying & man you're ashamed of for any reason Is no You'd try to forget his family, you couldn't.

Averts Eyes

How can a man who is supposed to love you completely shun you in public? When I pass him at school he averts his eyes. I don’t chase after him. I'm rather shy, really. I'm fairly nice looking and men look at me, but he’s the only one for me. He isn't shy. He couldn't know the tortires a shy person goes through, or how much a smile can mean from one who means so much. HEARTSICK,

When a boy makes excuses for walking out on you or falling to write, you'd better find a new boy friend. Instead of wondering how he could possibly leave you; figure out what's wrong with you. You're so embarrassed that you're making your boy friend uncomfortable, Heartsick. His smile, or anyone else's smiles, wouldn't carry you through. You girls and boys need to be interesting to make each day interesting, and you have to be interesting, intelligent, assured, Yéfiied and attractive to stay | popular.

without any of the normal, human vices, immediately arouses the suspicions of any intelligent woman. She knows that he will demand ' perfection in others, especially in his wife, and If shel" has any sense she will avoid him to|at all costs. For such a man does not make a wife happy. If he has impossibly high standards, he will be critical no matter what she does. If his wife turns out a reason-| ably decent meal he will complain that it isn’t as savory as the one Oscar of the Waldorf could prepare. He will demand sirloin and in the same breath criticize her for not making the market money go far ¢ If he refuses to go to the movies she will be compelled to stay home with him night after night, while he buries himself in a book. He will upbraid her for having to go to the beauty parlor, for playing bridge in the afternoon with the girls and for falling behind in mending and darning his shirts and socks. The truth is that a wife doesn’t really want a so-called perfect husband. He is too apt to make her uncomfortable. What defense can she have against his criticisms, if she can't complain about the mess he makes with his tobacco, or the silly way he behaved at the party last night? No, a woman wants a man to be good, but not perfect. She its a man to have at least one or two mildly bad habits, as pro-| tection against her own weak-/ nesses. * » . » Q-—Should you marry a woman
