Narlinc R. I'm so hurt that he ignores my birthday. Travis It. She cured me of giving her gifts long ago. Nadine R. For years I've been lying to my sister and friends when they ask, "And what did Trav give you?" 1 pull out a bag or perfume I've bought myself and put on an act of being so pleased, because the truth would embarrass me. Other husbands shower their wives with tokens. Mine is lav ish with pots and pans and mops, but never a trinket or a treat. Travis R. She may be em barrassed with nothing to flaunt before her friends, but it's her own fault. She humiliated me plenty in the early years of our marriage. For an anniversary, for example, I gave her a neck lace as we sat in a restaurant with friends. "What a waste of money!" she said, and I felt awful. She found fault with whatever 1 bought so I quit. The Council: Now we find new meaning in the Biblical mention of how blessed it is to give. It's not only blessed, it's usual ly easy compared to the pain of receiving. How many of us know how to accept a present, take a tavor, with grace.' Na dine didn't, and by throwing cold water on Travis' warm delight in surprising her, turned it to stone. Who gets the bunch of violets, the lace handkerchief, the record album from her hus band to light up special days? The gal who looks first at his joy, his shy eagerness about "remembering," and rises to his feeling, then secondarily fin gers the package. This guaran tees that whatever she blurts is right, appreciative. No bawl ing out about cost, taste, super fluity of the selection. Give her ; another chance, Trav. Let her learn to receive graciously by handing her a compliment on her appearance. II she's hep : she'll smile and say "thank you," not "What! In Ihis old rag? You must be blind."
