This is the most horrible thing in the world as far as she is concerned, and that's that. I recently learned of a case in which the wife just walked out on him tak- ing the children with her. She would not expose her little "angels" even for a minute to his perverting in- fluence. The poor TV was actually in tears when he told me the story.

So we come to the end of this rather incomplete and admittedly biased examination of TV wives. A, B, & C-wives are awfully hard to find. Their number how- ever, is possibly much larger than we imagine if we consider that there are thousands of TV's we'll probably never hear about who are happily TV-ing at home with some wonderful A or B wife. But again, this might be wishful thinking. It could also be that most of them are caught in the D E F category and that's why one feels like saying to all TV's contemplating marriage: "Don't, chances are you'll be sorry." There are many cases of early acceptance by the sweetheart (and later, the bride) which turn into nonacceptance and hostility after the first few months or even years of marriage. This is the most heartbreaking experience for any TV.. to find that his A- wife is rapidly slipping down the alphabet. However, I prefer to end on an optimistic thought. I think that through their own self-acceptance, their better knowledge of themselves, and their femin- ine talents, a good many TV's are able to push their reluctant wives upwards towards the A and B positions.

She was so disgusted with his dressing that she purposedly started to get fat so that he couldn't wear her clothes any more, it turned out to be an expensive experiment because she had to buy a new wardrobe for herself and he had to do likewise... Ever since she found out about his TVism she lets him do the ironing at home. He does it better than she! For Xmas she always buys him something girly and even
