“Will you kindly tell me how I can prove that my fiance loves me? He often says so, but I have no way of proving that he speaks truly. Ought he not to do some noble deed for me, or are the daily little attentions sufficient proof of his devotion? “Jane L.” We think that the “little things” of life weigh far more heavily in the balance than one heroic action. Both men and women do a heroic deed, when occasion requires or permits, merely through the stimulus of danger or the love of excitement, but it is the truly good man who is faithful in the “little things,” and smooths the daily life with his thoughtful attentions. We do not think you have anything to fear, as your fiance probably loves you, and he will do the heroic deed if it is ever necessary. “I am in great distress of mind, and having read your good advice to others, I make bold to come to you in my perplexity. I am not a very good cook, and my husband knew it before he married me. He used to say when he was courting me that anything that was made by my hands would be heavenly. Now he says a woman is a fool who does not know how to cook, and he is positively profane over some of my dishes. I have tried and tried, and I cannot learn to cook. I do dressmaking beautifully, and make quite a little money. Don’t you think he ought to be willing to hire some one to do the cooking? “Agnes D. B.” We have heard of men like your husband before. They are a species of human being who should not be tolerated. A right-minded man does not marry a woman simply to have her cook for him, and if that is all he cares about you we certainly pity you. We would not advise any good dressmaker to spend her time in learning to cook; neither would we advise a good cook to fritter away her hours in trying to master the art of dressmaking. Every man to his trade, and every woman, too. If you are helping to support yourself, you can certainly do about as you please, and the first thing for you to do is to put a good girl in your kitchen. Perhaps after your husband has partaken of a few well-cooked meals he will be a little more amenable to reason. “I have been reading the Correspondence Department of ‘My Queen’ ever since it started, and am going to add my question to the list. Are love and jealousy always inseparable? My lover says they are, and even adds that the greater the jealousy the greater the love, and when I disagree with him he says I do not love him. I should be very glad indeed to hear your opinion. “Evelyn D.”
