Alan A. My wife has taken
up with a woman of bad repu
tation. Elain A. 111 choose any
friends I please.
Alan A. I am at a loss to
know how to deal with my
wife. She has taken up with
a woman of bad reputation
and I can't get her to under
stand that she is harming our
married life and our three
children.
This woman Carol has
been married three times and
is known in our community
as a home-wrecker. What she
and my wife can have in com
mon is more than I can imag
ine. My wife had a wonder
ful upbringing and never even
went out with anyone but me.
Things have gotten so bad
that the neighbors are all
talking. One of the women in
our housing development
came to tell me about it. She
said she is very fond of my
wife and hates to see others
get the wrong impression of
her.
, Elaine A. I think that
'woman who spoke to my hus
band has more nerve than
brains. Who is she anyway
my governess? I am 27 years
old and I'll choose whatever
friends I please.
I met Carol when she hap
pened to be passing the baby
carriage and caught my Daby
as he almost took a dive for
the sidewalk. I was so grate
ful I could have kissed her.
Then we started talking and
I found her very pleasant. I
don't approve of some of her
language or the way she dress
es, but outside of that she is
very nice.
I have noticed that some
of the other women have
steered clear of me since I
took up with Carol. I don't
care because I find her more
interesting to talk to than a
lot of them.
'
- Th Council: We can find
-only one villainess in this
story and that is the woman
who went bearing a silly tale
to a too-easily-upset husband.
. We get the impression that
.Elaine is the kind of person
who is sure of herself and her
own standards. She is not
afraid to be grateful, court--eous
and kind to a woman of
, doubtful reputation because
she knows she cannot be easily
.tainted. Alan offers no com
plaints about his wife's be
havior since she has taken up
with Carol, so we are assum
ing that the possible evil in
fluences have failed to ma
terialize. It is possible that Carol has
had a lurid past yet is cap
able of good and of appreciat
ing respect and consideration
when they are given her. The
friendship of a woman of good
reputation and character may

mark a turning point in her
life.
If Carol is so disturbed as
to be beyond the help of a
kindly woman, the chances
are that Elaine will find her
self forced to give up this
friendship. Elaine could be
wrongly affected by Carol
only if she were herself very
confused and unhappy with
her lot. In view of the absence
of such signs, we would con
sider her quite capable of suc
cessfully choosing her own
friends.
We think Alan ought to
bear in mind the incident that
brought the two women to
gether the saving of his
baby from a dangerous' fall.
It is reminder of the possibil
ity of good which lies in
everyone.
