My parents, both in their sixties, seem to have gone clean out of their minds. They want to be divorced after 35 years of marriage. My father claims he has fallen in love with a woman business as sociate of his own age. Does this bother my mother? Not a', all. She seems to want to get rid of him. My brother and I have al ways felt that our parents were ideally matched. Each has little peculiarities that could annoy other people. They never seemed bothered by one another, never said a harsh word to one another. It would worry us terribly to think of our mother alone and our father living with another woman. We think they will de stroy something very fine. It's a tragic step and they'll regret it. Beginner-Simple! OJ3& children don't realize that ours was a loveless marriage. We were more or less pushed into it by our parents. I respect my wife, but I feel I've missed some thing very important in life. I can find it with this other wom an. Our religion doesn't rule out divorce. Where's the harm? ' Mn. K.M. The children don't realize this is all for the best. I have no need for my husband. I have lots of friends, lots of inter ests. Why should I be a ball and chain around my husband's neck? Th Council: This husband and wife think they are behav ing very reasonably, but at this point their children seem to be showing deeper wisdom and they should consider the chil dren's objections much more carefully. Laura points out that although they have "peculiarities," they have been able 10 live in peace with each other for 35 years. They gave "their children the im pression that they were ideally matched. Even if they believed they did not love one another, the mutual effort that went into the creation of such a home is not to be looked on as a trifling thing. There may have been more love in their married life than they have acknowledged. Mr. K.M. should consider that he hasn't experienced daily liv ing with the other woman. His dream of finding "something very important" with her may be an illusion brought on by the anxieties of growing older. He might find the illusion will col lapse under stress of daily life with her. Mrs. K.M. is taking the whole thing a bit too lightly. She must 1 a-k herself whether she Isn't con I cealing from herself the real shock that this proposal has giv en her. Is she really too hurt to protest to her husband? Has she really imagined what it is like to live alone permanently? It is not the same as being alone oc casionally. Both husband and wife should consider the fact that habit gives day-to-day life a feeling of se curity. They are adjusted to life with another. This is important in those years of the sixties. They haven't begun to think deeply about the problem. They must face it now. (Copyright 1956. General Features Corp.) Easier to Cut, Sew and Fit So simple, a child can do this embroidery!
