Dear Doctor,

  My husband and I got married in 1995 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children.Then four years ago,our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.

  My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision.He emphasized all of the things l can do around the house,and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

  After several weeks of job-hunting,l found my present job,which is working for a small public relations firm.At first,my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends,“My clever little wife can run that company she's working for.”

  But as his joking remark was close to reality,my husband stopped talking to me about my job.I have received several promotions and pay increases,and I am now making more money than he is.I can buy my own clothes and a new car.Because of our combined incomes,my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing,but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy.

  We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends.For the first time in our marriage,l think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.

  I hove my husband very much,and I do not want him to feel inferior,but I also love my job.I think I can be a good wife and a working woman,but I don't know how.Can you give me some advice?Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

  Please help.

  Tony Bennett, the American singer recently touring Britain, can’t remember how many times he has sung his standard hit “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”.He sang it again to his audience at the London Palladium last night.

  “I never get tired of singing it, ” he said, “I like it very much.It’s a great city and it’s a good song.”

  Bennett is to record a TV special with the American singer Lena Horne while he is here.And a new LP recorded by him in London for Philips titled “Listen Easy” will be published in June.

  “I like it here,” he added quietly.“I would like to live here so many months of the year.”

  He already keeps a large flat in Grosvenor Square, where he is staying with his actress wife Sandie Grant and their three-year-old daughter Joanna.It has a studio where he likes to paint.Tony plans to have his first exhibition later in the year and he has already sold one picture for $4000.At the end of the year Tony is to star in a musical film which has been specially written for him called “Two Bits”, an informal expression for 50 cents.It’s about an Italian immigrant(移民)who goes to America, but he becomes a failure.

  “In many ways it’s very close to my life the way the story has been written,” said Bennett.“My father, an Italian, was ill and died when I was nine.He always wanted me to sing, but he never lived long enough to be a part of my success.”

  As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying, "It's too late! They're all dead! There's nothing you can do! " To them he replied with one line, "Are you going to help me now? " And then he kept on digging.
