from coast to coast!
Mary K. - I'll take loneli
ness and dignity.
Janet S. - She'll get bitter.
May K. I am a 33-year-old
widow with two children. My
husband died three years ago.
Only in the past few months
have I been able to think in
terms of marrying again.
I realize that the odds are
against me. Single men of an
appropriate age are in short
supply - and they certainly
don't need a woman with chil
dren. My sister tells me that
unless I get "on the ball"
to a
long
can look forward
life of loneliness.
In spite of my recognition
that she is right I just don't
find myself able to do some of
the things she suggests. I'm
not the aggressive type and
sometimes I think it's better
to keep one's dignity and re
main lonely, if one must.
Janet S. My sister talks
lot about dignity, but I
don't see anything especially
dignified about a woman go
ing around sad and alone.
Eventually Mary will find
herself getting bitter. She'll
have nobody to blame but her
self. I have begged Mary to join
certain neighborhood group
that includes some eligible
men. But she feels that every
one will realize she has come
looking for men and will
sneer at her. I think they will
sympathize.
I have also begged Mary to
get in touch with an old flame
of hers. I've heard this man is
still single. What's the harm
in her calling him? We both
know that this man is very
shy and unlikely to make the
first move.
The Council: It is certainly
difficult for a woman who
has enjoyed the comfort and
security of marriage to move
into the rough and tumble
battle for a second mate. Jan
et's emphasis on the need for
aggressiveness has probably
frightened Mary more than it
has helped her.
However, the fact of the
matter is that Mary is lonely
and that her life has probably
settled into a rather dismal,
narrow routine. This won't
come to an end by continuing
this way and merely hoping
things will eventually im
prove. Loneliness or loss of dignity
are not the two alternatives.
Neither do we think it is ne
cessary or desirable for a
woman to stage a big man
hunting campaign unless she
so intensely wants a second
mate that she can be enthusi
astic about entering the bat
tle. The simple fact is that
Mary needs a bit more in her
life than child-rearing. With
out a husband's companion
ship and the normal social
life that goes with it. a wom
an in Mary's position must
make an effort to enlarge her
life. She must have friends
and interests outside of her
home.
Mary should certainly join
that neighborhood group and
she needn't feel uncomfort
able about it if she knows she i
is going for companionship
and ordinary social inter
change. She should also avail
herself of any other opportun
ities the community offers in
the way of courses or volun
teer activities.
Once Mary starts to live a
more normal social life, she
should find herself thinking
less about her own dignity
and will be more interested in
others. She will have less time
and inclination v for self-pity
and fear about the future. As
she builds up contacts, it is
quite likely that marriage pos
sibilities will turn up.
We think Mary greatly ex
aggerates "the odds" against
her. Despite statistics, it is a
fact that warm, pleasant, in
teresting women of any age
usually manage to awaken a
certain amount of masculine
interest and get marriage op
portunities if they really want
them.
