My wife says she doesn't wait 'o injure the child emotionally an.l hat I should stop acting like ".in iiiiinul." May I have some ad tee' biplaced. Dear Displaced: Yo jr wife is fostering this neurotic depend ency in the child because she's pretty rr.uch of a child herself. In plain English the arrange ment is mighty comfortable 'for both "kids" because your wite doesn't want to be a wife. She needs professional help. If she refuses to set a doctor and put the child ba:k in her own room where she belongs, you have every right to see a lawyer. The arrangement you describe is no marriage. You are merely lining in a house and paying the bills.

My wife's grandmother who is from the old country tuld my wife this birthmark is a punishment because she stole plums from a neighbor's tree when she was a little girl. My wife is not a stupid person but Ann, she actually believes this ruhhish and it s making her mis erable. Will you say something to give her peace of mind.' Can any thing be done alwut the baby's birthmark? Concerned Dad, Dear Dad: Ask the witch doc tor if she has a license to prac tice in this country. There's ab solutely no connection between birthmarks and plums stolen from anybody's tree. A birth mark can happen to anyone. It appears for no apparent reason and without explanation.
