Dear Ann Larders: Joe and I have been married less than a year and we arc already having serious trouble. We went together three years before we married. I admit we fought like cats and dogs, but I thought it was the way people in love ironed out their problems. During the courtship he broke into my apartment by sawing off the. lock. He got into my personal tollers, tore up pictures of other fellows and read my diary. He threw my past romances up to nie later. !When.JUR8H;,Piadat .hinu.lor snooping he said a fellow has the right to know all about a girl be lore marriage. He said 1 should have nothing to hide, ! Last week I got suspicious when l.p told me he had cashed his salary check and lost it out of his billfold. I did a little snoop ing on my own and found a bank book which showed $1,840 I did n't know anything about. When I faced him with the bank book Ibis morning he go so mad he slapped me. isn t a wife entitled to know what's going on financially? Now lie's so mad at me he won't speak. What shall 1 do? Nellie. Dear Nellie: In a good mar riage people don't hide things from one another. You should have had clue to this bird's personality defects before you married him. When he broke into your apartment that should have been enough. Now that you've bought the guy for better or worse you've got a job on your hands tto make things better before they get worse. See a marriage counselor or a clergyman together and try to get this turkey of a rela tionship on a working basis. , Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Wagner re turned home Saturday from a three week trip.
