10 THE POST-STANDARD, Syracuse, N. Monday, September 2, 1957 How to Get and Keep a Husband (Concluded from Faye 1) try and raised oranges and bees? certainly could have fed you." I reminded her. Her frown turned into a real laugh. "Oh, no, not that--not that'" "Well. I retorted, "what are you looking for?" That was difficult for her to answer.

"I don't know," she replied after a moment. "I really, honestly don't know." I What did I have in common with their busy, meaningful lives? They (wouldn't have hurt me intentionally for anything, but they could not avoid impressing me with the fact that really, after all, I did not belong. How humiliating- to be told when seeking- credit at a store, "You have a maximum of $200!" When I had a husband the sky was the limit. Can I ever forget the embarrassment of being turned away at the door of a supper club because we, my friend and were two women without a man! Many times for lack of a man I had' to miss dances, cruises and other parties. I KNEW WHAT SHE was looking for--what far too many American women are looking for in a man.

Now don't shout back at me that I'm wrong and prejudiced. I'm not. I'm on the woman's side. But believe that our women should face certain facts about themselves. A great many are looking for a man with money, f.rst; pies- apartment is a TMreai second; looks, third; love-well, last and maybe not at all if to happy marriage that i A THE HURDLE OF BEHAVIOR was the most formidable of all.

I discovered that suspicion and criticism are waiting everywhere to cast the shadow of ill repute over the single woman. One of my friends once said, "The single woman with an apartment is a threat to our moral standards. She is a danger tige, money comes along without love. Miss was looking for a man with money first and maybe love second. She was paying for her attitude with the same lonely existence that I endured until I found the formula that brought me a happy, successful marriage.

Some fine women give an Impression that they do not care for marriage. They evidently live by the theory that by travel- Ing alone in their own way they can arrive more quickly at their destinations of success and happiness. But their number is an insignificant minority compared to the masses of women who yearn for their natural roles of wife, mother and homemaker. I was continually harrassed and embarrassed by the disadvantages of being without a husband. Many times the only single woman- present, I lingered with we must defend ourselves against." How true! The burden of solution rests as much with the married woman as with the single one.

For her own well-being, the woman with a husband should do everything in her power not only to hold her man but to help her single sisters find husbands of their own. After much thought, personal experience and research into the single woman's problem, I see these unsatisfied desires: Motherhood. Sexual completeness and emotional release. Co-operative companionship. Acceptance within a social orbit of some kind.

More financial independence. A feeling- of being needed and wanted. Stability of life pattern. Those are the things a single woman misses. Now let her re- fcunifv ties "and love.

the capacity to receive it. It is easy to find love; holding it is the I was just another working girl with an apartment and a job. difficult task. The woman equipped to handle happiness is far more likely to attract it and keep it. Our abilities and capacities if properly used have a way like magnets of drawing us into compatible associations.

The single woman should strive for the following: 1. A capacity to receive happiness. 2. Balanced by ability to give happiness. 3.

Sparked by willingness to give happiness. These are the three parts to a formula which the single woman can employ apart from outside conditions and circumstances. Look upon' your loneliness as precious solitude. Use this treasure of time to put into effect a piogrum that will prepare you for marriage. And bring your dreams down to reality! There is no such thing as "ideal" in choosing a mate.

When a woman sets up a list of requirements beyond basic compatabihty she is doomed either to single loneliness or married unhappiness. If she carries in her mind a hard-snd-fast idea of what she wants and thinks she deserves in a man, she probably will fail to find him. IF REASONABLY SURE she is marrying a man of good character, stability, and industriousness, a woman can divide all hei expectations by half. She should be glad if 50 per cent of them materialize. If more of our women would see the fallacy of holding out for Mr.

Just Right--the man with the nice bank balance, movie- star looks, plenty of lovemaking and social position--and put good character, compatibility and industriousness at the top of the requirement list, thousands of our ladies on the sidelines could find happy marriage possible. (From "How to Get and Keep Husband." published by Dorrance Co Philadelphia. Distributed by Mirror-Eni erprises Syndicate, Los Angeles, Calif) Tomorrow: Kate Constance describes the attributes in a woman which make her desirrble to man, in an installment titled U'omen Men Prefer--and Marry). Are You Really 'Qualified 1 to Many? By KATE CONSTANCE (Copyright 1957, Dorrance Philadelphia) Are you really ready for marriage? Ask yourself these questions and answer completely frankly: 1. Are you reasonably unselfish and considerate, sympathetic and kind? 2.

Are you willing to assume responsibility and some work? 3. Are you free of serious complexes, phobias and neuroses? 4. Do jou have a deep desire to give happiness, service and love, to give more than you get? 5. Can you inspire a man's highest ambitions and emphasize his better qualities to bring out the best in him' 6. Do you value a man for what he is, not for what he possesses in wealth, good IOOKS and prestige? 7.

Are you a good sport, willing to take hard knocks and losses with him? 8. Do you have an enthusiasm for life and the small daily 3oys of living' 9. Do you have a yearning to establish a home, and not just have a husband to pay your expenses through life? 10. Do you adhere to a high standard of behavior?

A score of indicates grounds for improvement--and make it now rather than waiting until after the ceremony. If your score is less than 60 you should sit down and taku a long, hard look at yourself and your prospects for the future. Dear Abigail Von Buren The Family Council Criticism of Boy's Father Would Be Out of Place THERESA father doesn't trust him. MRS. R.

something wrong with that man. THERESA am 16 ana I have a boy friend a year older Our problem is Kenny's father, who is much too strict with him. My own parents like Kenny and have no objection to my going him, but Kenny's father doesn't think he ought to be going steady at all. Kenny and I go out once or, at most, twice a week. We like to talk on the telephone every day, but he has to sneak out to call me We always come home at a reasonable hour and we aren't wild like some kids.

We are both planning to go to college, so we don't talk about engagement or mainage. Just the same, Kenny's father seems to think that he's going to get ideas about marriage if he fceeps seeing me. When we go out, he calls my home--sometimes twice in an evening--to see if -we are back yet. How can we make him trust Kenny? MRS. R.

would like to talk to Kenny's father to straighten him out a bit, but my husband says it wouldn't be a good idea for me to "mix in." I don't see how my talking to him can be considered interference. After all, I am just as concerned about my daughter as he is about his son. I feel there is really something wrong with this man, psychologically. Surely he wants his boy to enjoy a normal life for a 17-year-cld. The kids are as nice and well- behaved together as anyone could possibly ask.

Kenny is a lovely boy and we don't worry about Terry when she is out -with him. My husband says it would look as though we are pushing the kids together if I spoke up for them. Nothing could be further from my mind. THE COUNCIL: Mrs. R.

S. ought to listen to her husband. He is right that her interference would be interpreted as an attempt to "push the kids together."

Mrs. S. is wrong to assume here is "something wrong" with Penny's father and that he needs to be "straightened out." The mere fact that he has raised such fine young man is an indication that he knows how to do a good job as a father. Because of his deeper knowl-j dge of Kenny or because some personal or family ence, he may have very good' reason to oppose the boy's steady dating. He has as much right to position as Mrs R.

S. has to If he ir, wrong, or if his tudes need to be modified, the, Jroblem should be wrestled outi within his own family circle. Mrs. R. S.

would do better to' encourage her daughter to data other boys. It is understandable that she likes Terry to date a boy she already knows and approves, but it is highly probably Terry will find other nice boys.
