For one thing the rancho is worth more than thousan dollars. On the twenty-fiv- e other hand, the old man is about to walk away with all the money he has won, or so Star La Rue thinks. So they compromise. The ol man gives back to La Rue his winnings, to be kept no matter how the cards fall. That evens matters. The Rancho de los Tres Hermanos is put at stake on one matched draw of the cards. I have worked for Star La Rue a long while. I am the most skillful dealer he employs. So they come to my table.

Most people do not need the services of a psychoanalyst so much as they need common sense and a little continues Miss Norris. Generally the cause of the difficulty is well known. It may be extravagance, or jealousy, or a desire for dominance. In any case, the psycho-analycan do little more than point the trouble. He cannot make the necessary changes in the individual $ character or circumstances. Often a husband and wife can solve their imaginary mew tal problems by a frank talk. Whether the difficulty arises over money, or relatives, or some personal fault, pie solution can be found by bringing it out into the open.

A secondary great cause of married distress is jealousy. Dont give each other cause; that is the simple cure, and that is all the scientist can say. But if there is cause, a psycho-analycant cure it.

After the most skillful handling, the facts will remain the same; he is making love to another woman. Jealousy was the basic trouble with a man I knew, according to the he consultexpensive psycho-analyed. The analyst told him that he had been jealous of his father and mother, his sisters and brothers, his teachers and associates. This did not, however, help him with his wife, who shortly afterward justified his jealousy by going off with another man. Jealousy is a sin, and so are unkindness, domestic injustices, extravagance, waste, penuriousness, nagging, drink all the other ills to which marriage stands heir. Sin is cured by grace, not by analysis. Drinking and gambling husbands know whats wrong, without long luxurious talks about it.
