Thursday, January 10, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THBKK Mrs. Rita E. My brother is making a fool of himself. Charles J. She's going too far. Mrs. Rila E. I want to pre vent my brother, who is a wid ower in his 60s. from making a very bad marriage. It's true he is old enough to make his own decisions, but sometimes an old er man can be more of a fool than a young one. Charles brought this woman to my home for a week end for me to look her over. Aside from the fact that she is nice looking and a good talker I can see nothine good in her and a lot that's wrong. She is nosy. unmannerly and, I suspect, a gold digger. This woman went through my home carefully examining every article of furnishings and ask ing me where I had got it and what I had paid for it. Then she asked all kinds of questions about our whole family. I can't stand people like that and I don't believe Charles could ever be happy with her besides he hasn't got the money to keep her in the luxuries she wants. Charles J. My sister is real ly going too far in interfering with my life. I wanted her opin ion of my friend, but. I didn't expect to get a barrage of abuse against me and this woman. I think my sister is being un fair, but just the same, her at titude worries me. I wonder whether I can be so blind that I just can't see these things my sister is talking about. I have been going out with this woman several months and I've never noticed her being unmannerly. She seems to have a taste for luxurious things, but I believe she has a fairly good Idea of what my income is and she wouldn't bother with me if it was just money she was in terested in. I'm fairly confused now and am afraid to introduce this woman to my friends because she may make a bad impression on them as well. I had hoped she would fit in well with my family and friends because these things really count as you get older. a The Council: Rita has abused her sisterlv privilege of "look ing over" her brother's friend. She was asked for an opinion and has instead torn the woman apart and is up in arms to pre vent her mature brother from making a fool of himself. Char les should realize his sister is being overbearing, and should be less intimidated by her opinion. "I can't stand people like that," says Rita, overlooking the fact that her reaction has been a strongly personal and feminine one. She despises the woman's lack of social finesse without stopping to realize her brother may not find this so very im portant. She shows a lack of social finesse herself in this hos tile explosion against the woman who may very well become her sister-in-law. Rita has also applied that harsh term "gold digger" to a woman who may simply be look ing for a certain degree of se curity. If the woman has gone out with Charles for several months, she probably has a fair ly good idea of how much she can expect with him. Charles ought to clarify the matter furth er if he has any doubt on this question. Charles should have more con fidence in his own judgment. A sister's opinion can be valuable but Rita's reaction appears too violent to be taken as objective. If the woman appeals to Char les, she is likely to fit in well with his friends. He should certainly introduce her to them and observe particularly how she gets along with other women, if this is important to him. If it isn't, he ought to try to for get and go by his own feelings. (COPYRIGHT 1957, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
