Myllii M-I'll be a disap
pointment to Leonard.
Leonard D. If only she'd
mate an effort.
hyllii M. I am 19 years old
and have been going out for the
past year with a young man of
20. We are planning to be mar
ried next year when he gets out
of college.
What bothers me is this. While
he is away at school, Leonard
writes me long, long letters
about all kinds of intellectual
things the things he studies in
school. He sends me lists of
books to read and tells me what
plays to see. Many times I don't
understand what he is talking
about in his letters and I don't
care for the books he tells me to
read. When he comes home, he
always bawls me out for not hav
ing discussed in my letters some
of the things he mentioned. He
forces me to read the books I
don't like.
I am beginning to feel that I
just can't keep up with him. I
love Leonard very much, but I'm
ure I'm going to be a disap
pointment to him.
Leonard D. Phyllis is the
brightest girl I know, but she
just refuses to use her mind. She
was one of the top students at
high school, but she didn't want
to go to college. She wanted to
go to work, but she isn't even
seriously interested in her ca
reer. She just cares about enjoy
ing herself now and raising a
family in a few yean.
I meet girls at school who are
not nearly as intelligent as
Phyllis and they read the books
I tell her about. I want my wife
to be able to talk intelligently
and to know about the things
that interest me. Phyllis can do
it if she would only make the
effort.
Phyllis seems to resent my ef
forts to help her. She thinks I
am lording it, but she'll be grate
ful to me when she sees how
much more there is to enjoy
than she now imagines.
The Council: In the legend of
Pygmalion the sculptor creates
the statue of a beautiful woman
and then falls in love with her.
This classic love story was re
created by George Bernard
Shaw into a play about an upper
class gentleman who undertakes
to make over a girl from an al
most hopelessly oppressed work
ing class. Leonard appears to
want to recreate the story once
more in his own life.
Phyllis, however, is neither
marble, nor clay, nor a girl f rc m
an oppressed class. She has some
education, and had the opportu
nity for more. She is a real, live,
intelligent girl with a will of her
own. She does not want to be
made over into somebody else's
ideal.
This is why she resists Leon
ard's efforts to "help" her. She
would probably have no great
resistance to books if they were

offered simply for pleasure.
Leonard is in contact with
girls who share his interests, yet
he shuns them in favor of Phyl
lis. It appears that it is the chal
lenge Phyllis offers, rather than
the girl herself, that appeals to
him. This is very immature and
it is no basis for marriage.
Phyllis' instinct is right. She
would be far better off with a
man who appreciates her for
what she is. Leonard would be
better off turning his creative
energies on his own work and
studies. He is too unformed, him
self, to know what kind of wife
he really wants.
