"iou ve got me. Now try to bold
me."
Judging from the mail that
comes to me from women readers,
that must be the attitude of an in-
creasing number of married men.
If it is, it's no wonder. Week af-
ter week and month after month,
through magazine articles and ev-
ery kind of advertising, women
are told that if they fail to do this
or neglect tu do that, they can ex-
pect to lose their husbands.
Men Read, Too
Such advice is supposedly aimed
at women—but men can read, too.
And if they get to thinking they
are some kind of lucky prize their

wives have won, no one should be
surprised.
And once they get to thinking of
themselves as prizes their wives
have fought for and are wholly re-
sponsible for holding onto against
any and all competition, they be-
come mighty poor risks as hus-
bands.
For they quit thinking of mar-
riage as a partnership supposed to
endure for a lifetime. They start
thinking of themselves as having
been "caught" by a lucky girl
whose job it is to hold them—or
else.
Only Loser
That relieves them of the re-
sponsibility of trying to please
their wives as they expect to be
pleased. And it also gives them the
sneaking notion that if their mar-
riages should fail, only the wife
will be the loser.
For, prize packages that they
are, they can always let themselves
be "caught" by another lucky girl
who will devote her life to holding
them.
Of course, no man who is men-
tally mature believes such rubbish.
But a lot of spoiled, selfish, im-
mature men do find it easy to take
this "hold your husband" advice to
heart.
Such men are anything but a
prize to any woman. But unfor-
tunately a lot of women today are
finding themselves stuck with men
who think any woman is lucky to
have them. (All rights reserved,
