Sometimes it's better not to attempt to uncover what's bothering him, but to do some undercover work to please him and raise his . spirits. Has the apple of your eye V turned into a lemon? Don't throw ,-in the towel and say "ouch" if ; your hubby's a grouch. Chances , are he is reacting to the strain ' of pressures and anxieties which * he may or may not want to f discuss. Now, while he is stalking ^around the room, muttering, don't sharpen your battle axe... * and don't pry. Better not attempt to uncover what is bothering him for theP moment... but rather do j* some undercover worktoplease ' him, and raise his spirits. v 1. Be worth your weight in gold--with silence. Avoid lengthy or frequent repetition of . 'any comment which is "only for his own good." Nag? Of rcourse you wouldn't dream of *it but we all do it! 2. Be feminine. "Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts and his higher nature--and another woman to help forget them," quips humorist Helen Rowland. Cropped hair may be easy to take care of, tweeds undeniably smart and comfortable, but most men associate femininity with long hair, silk and soft colors. The right clothing and a little make-up can help you look the part when he first comes home in the evening till he kisses you goodbye in the mbrning. 3. A good cigar is as great a Comfort to a man as a good cry is to , a Woman. So get your hubby to light one up during his troubled moments--for it's relaxing! Make sure the kids hold off asking him why the sky is blue, when he comes home tired and troubled. Give him time to enjoy his smoke in peace and quiet. Nothing helps sceneiy like ham and eggs, notes Mftrk Twain, who was a lovable grouch inhis own way. It's great advice. You can often settle the grumble of your hubby by cooking the right dish at the right time.. Psychologists agree that one of the major causes of overeating in men (and women) is anxiety-- and. being overweight can make either o^you miserable--but you can vary a sensible diet with a < touch of something special when he is feeling particularly low or ir^table. 5. Giye him a friendly surprise: a gift. Useful and practical, yes, but not prosaic--it should have the spice of the unexpected. Dr. Rollo May, noted American psychologist, be-. lieves that-the moment of giving should be clearly highlighted and set apart by the gift. This can be accomplish by the^urprise quality of the preset for example, a hardheaded businessman giving his wife a book of her favorite poems--or a wife, taking the trouble to buy her mate a box of fine cigars because she knows that it will please him. Indeed, according to recent surveys conducted on campuses and among other selected groups across the nation, it was found that most men preferred cigar smoking in the home, away from the bustle of life, while preference for cigars at work took second place. The same surveys also pointed out that men, although they prefer to buy their own cigars, are always flattered to receive cigars as presents. Why? A good bet would be that it has something to do with masculinity. 6. Don't keep asking: "Do you love me?" Many, men, inf articulate about expressing their feelings, are only annoyed or embarrassed by this perennial feminine question. Your mate may prefer to show his affection instead of talking about it--and if you've followed the otheir rules up to now, he probably will! 1 n wg* Iff/' \ ' \ spoils a romance so much as take Chad, Africa, is unusual sense of humor in the woman!' among lakes in that it has many is a fool.

The poet James Step- That is a lot of farm land, and hens tells us that women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more. Translating this, gals, many men really don't mean what they say or do when they grouch; how often have you heard him sax he can't stand you when he really loves you or he doesn't want you around when all he wants is you? This is the challenge: shaping that grouch into a husband again--through love and patience. 9. Don't ever call him Fatiier or Dad (and especially not Grandad). And gently dissuade him from calling you Mother--at least till your diamond anniversary. Nothing blights romance more effectively. 10. Learn to appreciate him. "The difference between a man and his valet," the American poet Robert Frost once said, "is that they both smoke the same cigars, but only one pays for them." You should realize that your husband isn't a valet, and ask him to do only those things which are reasonable--after all, he is the one who pays--for everything-- and he works harder than you can imagine to do it!
