We The Women Who can a woman talk to when her marriage seems to be cracking up and she is so troubled and confused she can't find any satisfactory answer to her problems? This is what one of my readers writes. I quote her letter because many women must have at some time in their marriages felt just as helpless and alone and unsure of their own judgment: "My marriage is going to pieces and I am helpless to know what to do about it, My husband and I can no longer discuss any problem without bitterness and resentment and the usual end is a violent quarrel.

"There is more than one thing wrong with the marriage, and I know we are both at fault. But I can't figure out any sort of plan to work at. One day I think one thing is the answer. The next day I've discarded that as no good. And the next day I'm in a 'What's the use of frame of mind.

I'm just so confused and mixed up I'm thinking in circles. "But who can I talk to, since I can't talk to my husband? I don't want to drag my parents into it. I can't bear for my friends to know what we are going through. Yet, I think if I could talk to some outsider I might be able to see things more clearly." When a woman becomes that confused and "mixed up" she needs expert help, not the sympathy of friends or the championship of her parents. It would probably be wise for her to ask her family physician to recommend a good psychiatrist.

But in the end she wUJ have to talk to the one person vho ihwres her troubles--her Personals CHINATOWN HIGHLIGHTS-Dancer Dianne Shinn has a big "O-o-o-oh" for the eight-foot Chinese lantern hanging in a San Francisco restaurant.
