I did, I am a good wife and housekeeper, and do all I know to keep him happy. "Whenever he went out, 1 was always along. Lately, though, the men he knows joke with him about having me always with him, and now he wants me to stay home altogether 1 He believes, I think, that his friends don't respect him nor me either . I don't understand what is going on. When he drinks (oc- casionally) he tells nze what they think, and says they are right because he seldom sees them out with their wives.

I met his mother and she was sweet to me, too, and we became friendly. Now he hasn't dated me for a month, and I am so worried I cannot l sleep, "His mother knows about it, and telephoned to say she is sorry. I told her I understood (which I don't) and everything is all right (which it isn't). "Do you think I might drop in to thank her for her call?

Let things * ride. * Since you two did not quer- • rel, he has perhaps become * interested in someone else, * or maybe he thought you two • were seeing each other too * often; since he is not ready * to marry yet, that would be * logical.
