Unhappy Announcement

All readers are aware that I wrote "The TV and His Wife" for the purpose of helping wives to understand. Many of you also know that I've gone to some lengths in individual cases to try to help in situations where non- understanding was breaking things up.

It is naturally therefore, with some embarrassment that I have to say that i am about to enter a divorce my- self. If my marriage had only lasted 3 or 4 years it might be thought that TV was the whole cause. But in my case it has lasted for 11 years. My wife not only knew all about it before marriage, but helped me out in some of the battles I had with my first wife. During these years she has helped me with dressing, bought all sorts of items, done my hair, gone out with me and taken an active part in helping the girls of the Alpha chapter not only to un- derstand themselves but has helped their wives to under- stand too.

It takes two to Tan- go and also to divorce which is to say that it is not a case of my being lilly white and she the villian of the piece. No, I am probably not the easiest person to live with, though I've tried. I have naturally contributed my
