DEAR MR*. MAJFItUJ)
I am a young widow with three
children, the last of whom belongs
to an unmarried man I’ve been
going with lor years.
He culms ge loves us, but
says fie will never marry me
or anyone else. He refuses to
<lo right by u«s but will not
stay away from us either.
(Not that I would want him
to.) tie says he has never
been happy and Isn't capable
of making anyone else happy.
He has an inferiority complex
he can’t shake.
He is afraid of marriage and has
never had any ties or responsibil-
ities. I wish I could convince him
to at least try marriage. I wouldn't
try to hold him if he were dissatis-
fied. But how does he know he
wouldn't be happily married if he
won’t try? Perhaps there is some
deep-rooted explanation for his at-
titude that even he can't under-
stand.
He is extremely unconventional
and refuses to go by other people’s
rules or ways of living. I have my
own home and everything is ready
for him to step in and enjoy. How-
ever, he can't put himself into that
picture. I have an income of my
own, so he would not even have to
shoulder the entire financial end
by himkglf.
whole heart and permit you and
your child to continue without ben-
efit of his name! That’s why I say
I don't believe he cares enough.
And I think you’re behaving quite
wickedly and qdite stupidly to con-
tinue such .a setup as you have
now. when it would be so easy for
him to prove that he cared.

We don't want to say good-
bye but we hoIh kltow , we
should not see so much of each
other without being married.
Wish 1 knew how to help him
'see that he is all I need to
ipake my life complete. I could
never forget him or want any-
one else.
PERPLEXED
DEAR PERPLEXED:
Well I’m perplexed, too. There
you are a yqpng widow, with your
own home, your own income, and
what is most important of all, the
mother of this man's child. He
says he loves you. he continues to
live with you, but he won't marry
you.
There is only one thing I can
think — and you aren’t going
to like it. It’s simply this. He
doesn’t love you etuiugh to
want to marry you. Listen,
PERPLEXED, I've had years
and years and miles and miles
of letters from men pouring
out their problems of the heart.
I have yet to have a letter from
man who completely, deeply,
truly , loved a woman without want-
ing to marry her, unless the wo-
man was already living with him
outside the bonds of matrimony.
I've said so many times I’ve
virtually shouted from the rooftops
that the last thing a woman should
do is set up housekeeping with a
man if she wants him to marry
her. Oh, granted there are exccp-1
tions, but so very, very (ew com-
pared to the number of cases of
men who shy away from matri-
mony if they have what they want
without it.

A Downright Repulsive Mete.
DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD:
Our son sure pulled the grand
flop in a mate.
She's very much the “toots” or
“babe’’ type. Wears low-cut dress-
es of flamboyant, flowery mater-
ial, shoes with anl(le straps, bulky
fur coats, large hats, always has
a cigarette dragging from one
side of her mouth, chews gum,
has dirty nails, and is downright
repulsive.
All our son's friends and re-
latives have dropped him be-
cause of her, but he still lets
himself be bullied by her. She
never has a kind word to say
about the family, in fact In
her lingo, we’re "stinkers.”
She is doing all she can to turn
the children (our grandchildren)
against us, and our son just won’t
speak up. We’ve given them pre-
sents and more presents and she
gives them to friends of hers. We
gave her some costume jewelry,
expensive, too. WHAT did she do
with that? Gave it to her little
daughter to play with In the sand
pile.
Our son won't speak up, and we
feel powerless. What do you think
we ought to do?
DANNIE AND GAIL
DEAR DANNIE AND GAD.:
I know how you feel, and I am
very sympathetic with you. It's a
sorry situation when the. family re-
lations are curdled.
However, there is one thing
to bear In mind here. This
woman IS your son’s wife. She
was his choice, and apparent-
ly still Is. It is more Impor-
tant to keep your son's regard
than it is to quarrel with her,
and alienating her will almost
surely alienate him.
Goodness knows it takes more
patience and forbearance than a
lot of us can muster to see this
sort of problem through. But ac-
tually, if you want your son, you’ll
have to take her, too, I guess. For
the time being anyway.

NEW YORK IM A powerful epi-
demic is reaching across America
now, affecting millions of house-
holds. .
The malady ustially picks as, its
welcome vjetim the, rp!ab-of-'thAi
house.
It is spread by men’s clothing
stores ai»d earned injto the home
by newspapers. It .is< called "the
semi-annual clearance sales ‘fe-*-
ver.”
Symptoms: An itching in the
wallet accompanied by a delirious
male urge to buy . . . buy . . . buy.
Treatment: The wise wife will
let her little man enjoy the fever
until it runs its course and. his
wardrobe is re-stocked, it is the
only known cure. . . > , L
Since women do moat of the buy-
ing today, special sales are held
for them all over the calendar.
But men get to exercise their hunt-
ing instincts only twice a year—
during the store-wide winter clear-
ance and the summer clearance
held sometime after the Fourth of
July.
Gets that Wild Look
These are the only periods when
a papa gets to buy some pretty
with a question. When you ask if
you should sever the relationship,
that means you could without car-
ing too much, apparently. And cer-
tainly this is the last attitude a
young man should have \oward a
"potential wife.”
As for the spirit of compe-
tition being abnormal or un-
healthy, I’d say not at all. It
could be stupid on her part if
she usually wins. That’s some
thing no "potential husband”
would like I’m sure.

row into sock piles and play tug-
of-war with each other when they
grab the same speciaLprieed neck-
tie. They are swept up in a group
danse of swirling ma<ftaAs.
Survivors Stagger Out
The salesmen stand on the out-
skirts, taking money from the sur-
vivors as they waddle out of the
churning mass, their arms loaded
with loot.
"Men are always kidding women
about their shopping behavior,”
one salesman said. "But I wish
sometimes that we had.a specta-
tors’ gallery here during our
men's sales so wifes could see how
their husbands act. *
"They'd really get a laugh. It’s
like watching a bunch of kids
who've been turned loose in a
candy store and told they could
have all they wanted for a f>enny.”
But he added that men rarely
got into hair pulling tussles or
tongue lashing duels as womln
omctimos have t>cen known to do
when two wanted the same piece
of apparel. «

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Answer to Ysstsreay’s Puatls
Strong Competition.
DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD:
I’m a junior in college and go
with a girl whom I think a great
deal of. In fact, I consider her a
potential wife.
The trouble Is, we are just
about too much alike. So much
alike that we have developed
a spirit of competition Hint is
not normal- • -Whether It’s
ping pong, bridge, bowling, or
what, there Is still the barrier
of competition, each of us try-
ing to outdo the other.
What I want to know is, do you
think this is a passing phase. Is
it as unhealthy as I think it is?
I don't know whether to let this go
on, or sever our relationship now.
What do you think?
