Dear Ann Landers,
y husband is a bright, hard-working young man. He is also wildly ambitious, determined to wind up on top of the financial heap regardless of what it takes. Several months ago he went to work for a firm which offered him a fine salary and an opportunity to advance in his field. It has been two years since we made the move, and my husband is deeply disappointed in the firm and quite articulate about his disappointment. It embarrasses me when he speaks dis-paragingly about his bosses even though what he says is true. I've tried to tell him it's neither wise nor honorable, but I might as well talk to the wall. Can you help?-A Young Wife

Dear Wife,
This is what Elbert Hubbard has to say on the subject. Clip it out for your husband. It may change his ap-proach. "If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position, and when you are on the outside, damn to your heart's content. But so long as you are a part of the institution do not condemn it, or the first high wind that comes along will blow you away and you will never know why."

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
