they are fulfilled she will probably retain her toler- ance, but when she feels neglected she rebels.))) Sometimes the situation seems perfect until the children begin to grow up, then the father has to deprive himself of his "hobby", or simply "go underground". I know of only one case in which the children have been told that there's nothing wrong with daddy playing the part of mommy. The kids are 9 and 12 and apparently take the whole thing in their stride, expecially since the neighbors know all about it and they come to play card every weekend.

I feel much better this way." As to the eyebrows, a little at a time is the right procedure. After a few months you have them nicely clean and shaped
