But television commercials are
something from which you simply

Just good. Everything is the best.
A new advertising wrinkle has
recently appeared on television.
There is hardly an article advert-
ised that does not contain some
mysterious "ingredient” in addit-
ion to what it ;• supposed to con-
tain. 1 don’t remember the exact
phrasing. But it seems to me there

This column would hardly be
worth the reading if there were
not another - - more dangerous
- - element to this sort of adver-
tising than Juat Us childishness.
I is surprising how many arti-
cles one can buy for only a trifle
down and a trifle a w«4k. I figur-
ed that night that the average per-
son, were he or she to take ad-
vantage of all the “amazing" of-
fellow Tdny’s insulting threaten
ing behavior when you sought
help from him recently, and in his
family’s malicious gloating over
your downfall.
To your husband 1 suggest that
be is confronted with opportunity
in this instance to determine whet-
her he is a heel or humane man in
dealing intimately with human
frality and crucial need; whether
he really is more decent than you,
as he righteously assumes at pres-
ent, in vowing to quit you and
take the children.
With you, he stands figuratively
before the .court of heaven, in this
time of trouble. It seems to me.
You are defenseleptly a culprit in
a sin agairist unity and trust. But
he is being tested too, as to whet-
her he has charity, as defined in
1 Corinthians 13. And if he has
not charity, he is nothing - - that’s
'■♦at God’.a word fella Ss, in this
same passage.
Appaal to Man's
Better Nature
Your husband needs guidance
in getting his bearings, so as to
behave constructively in the situ-
ation. He needs to see the family
relationship in its entirety, so as
to know what to do, and what to
avoid doing, to minimize the da-
mage. He needs to act magnanim-
ously, and with loving foresight,
for the children’s sake - - if not
for yours, primarily.
You are the mother of his child-
ren and nothing can alter that
fact, What happens to you, es-
pecially now, will make a differ-
ence in their lives (for better or
worse) as long as they live - - be-
cause the effects will be felt in
their souls. Thus to secure their
long-time welfare, he should pro-
tect you now, while a sane solu-
tion of the problem is being work-
ed out. In so He will im-
measurably increase his stature
as a person, and father - - and
bring redeeming virtuge to a bad
situation, to counteract your mis-
take.
So, my hdvleo la, ask your kas-
ha nd to read the foregding; tthrl'to
cooperate in such pntoput plans
as your local Family Service
