Ruth Millett Guessing Games Are Fun, But Not for Your Husband Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Memo to this summer's brides: Keeping a young man may be an important part of courtship, but it's a game that doesn't set very well with husbands. Don't put a husband on the spot with guessing games if you want him to feel comfortable in your company. Why ask with a pout, "Don't you notice anything different about me?" when he obviously has failed to notice your new hairdo, new dress or your experiment with a new eye shadow? Be a sport and come right out and tell him what's new, instead of making guess. Why put him on the spot with, "Ill bet you don't know what day this is?" when you well know he has forgotten it is the anniversary of the day you had your first date, or started going steady or get your engagement ring or whatever? Besides, you'll be accumulating other i portant dates, so why make a fuss over the ones that belong to courtship? And you don't want to drive your new husband crazy -being your conversational tidbits with "Guess who "Guess who called me up "Guess who I ran into at the "Guess who is going to have a baby?" makes a guessing game out of incidental information which doesn't make it sound more important.

It's much more likely to make it seem awfully unimportant. Above all, don't ever make your husband guess why he is in the doghouse. If you're mad about something, say so in no uncertain terms, instead of acting like a disillusioned heroine going around with a long face, while your husband tries to figure out what he has done wrong NOW. There's no guessing at all when you read Ruth Millet's booklet, "How to Have a Happy Husband." Send 25 cents to Ruth im-Millett Reader Service, C-0 (The Kokomo Tribune), P.O.
