MANNERS

JANE JORDAN wants more letters from people in need of sympathetic advice. The more she receives, the better she is pleased. Send a stamp if you want a personal reply. Dear Jane Jordan—X am. 36 years old, married and have two children. My husband Is very Rrouchy. I guess I started out wrong, humoring him and waiting on him hand and foot. I build the fires every morning and have breakfast and his lunch box ready before I wake him. I carry all the coal and water We live three miles from town and I haven't been In town for eight years. I am very nervous from mv husband's constant nagging. He drinks and stays out all night, and thinks It is all right. He also curses me and calls me vulgar names. When we sit down to eat. he watches every bite we put in our mouths and savs expenses must be cut, although he wants plenty of the best for himself. At one time I was a stout woman and weighed 140 pounds. Now I am nervous and run down and only weigh 98 pounds. I can't stand it much longer. I thought of divorce, but decided to write to you first. I’m sure I would be lots better off without him. I believe freedom is what he wants, anyway. What is best for me to do? BLUE BONNIE. • Dear Blue Bonnie—Divorce always is deplorable where there are children, but it certainly is the lesser of evils when a man is as hopelessly cruel as yours. Parents who can not get along together decently owe it to their children to separate and save them from witnessing such devastating and destructive scenes during the formative period of their lives. It is particularly dangerous for a little girl to be reared in a home where the father is not respected. The way her father treats her mother determines her emotional health. If her father is cruel, she will come to believe that all men are like him, and her prejudice becomes so deeply rooted in her subconscious mind that it is practically impossible for her to make a happy marriage of her own. This has been proved over and over again. A quarrelsome father sets a bad example for growing boys, too. If the boy patterns himself after the father, it is ruinous. But more often .it happens that he turns against the father and clings too closely to the mother. Sometimes he is psychologically unable to pull away from her apron strings when the time comes for him to found a home of his own. This is called a mothpr fixation, and is a real ailment, wellknown to psychiatrists. You should separate from your 'husband not only for your children’s sake, but your own. Isn’t the situation gradually driving you towards a nervous breakdown? Can you care for your children efficiently, and be kindly, patient and wise when your nerves are stretched to the breaking point each day? The law has provided for your protection by holding that the cruel and inhuman treatment so which you are subjected daily is grounds for divorce. You have a right to your freedom and the custody of your children. You can get it if you go after it. Why have you waited so long? One word of warning. Be sure that your husband is tied up legally so that he has to maintain your children! A good lawyer will help you plan your release. After you have talked to one, write me again. But even if you have to go to work eventually to support yourself and your children, it wouldn't be as back-breaking or heart-breaking as living in a domestic inferno. I wouldn’t be too reckless about cutting loose financially ... lay your whole situation before a lawyer and let him advise you. a a u Dear Jane Jordan—l have been married for fourteen years and have three fine children, but I am not .happy. I can not set along with my husband. We have a nice home, a car and all we want t > eat. He goes into a rage at anything that does not please him, and we both say mean things and he curses me and slaps me and has even given me a black eye. He never says he is sorry. He told me he didn't care a thing about me, that all I think about is fixing myself up. For one week I didn't clean up nice, and he quarreled about that The last time he slapped me I had a headache for two days. X don't think I ever can please him His people are good to me and they told me he never would treat me any , better. X hate to leave, for I couldn’t take the children, as I am not able to work. X wash for five on the washboard and the teacher compliments me on sending the children to school so clean. What can I do? He has been mad now for a week. WORRIED WIFE. Dear worried wife The law was made to protect women like you. You can divorce your 1 husband on the grounds of cruel

What’s in Fashion? Colorful Play Suits Directed By AMOS PARRISH ■■■ ■

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Watch children trooping to school. Look over a crowd that’s mobb.ng Santa Claus in toyland. Take a birdseye view of the game of tag going on down in your back yard. You can spot the newest play suits every time by the use of color against color, as you see it in women’s clothes this season. And that's the kind of play suite to hang on Christmas treets for small nephews

and nieces. Probably children themselves have had something to do with the fact that the twopiece windbreaker style is so popular. It looks like grown folks’ windbreakers ... a great big point in its favor. The windbreaker style shown is of tan suede cloth with checkerboard cuffs and belt of brown-ani-tan. The belted rtyle stands next in the lineup. and is smart for girls since it very often

We show a knitted one which might have been made just for Christmas giving . . . it’s green with contrast in the red-and-green scarf, cuffs and cap. \ Os course when you’ie considering a child who bounces around like a jack-in-the-box, jou’re apt to lean toward the one-piece suit with roomy, ski-type leggings. The one in the picture runs true to form, with scarlet collar and anklets contrasting with a bright blue suit. It’s only the toddlers v.ho haven’t gone in for color contrast. They still feel that they look their best in plain white, blue or pink angora. (CoDvrieht. 1931. bv Amos Parrishi Next: Amos Parrish reports on the new Christmas dolls.

and inhuman treatment, which you easily can prove. He will have to support you and the children. I would see a lawyer to show your husband that you mean business. Nothing could be worse for the psychological health of little children than a quarrelsome father who strikes their mother. You don’t have to leave your home. Make him leave. Talk this over with his people, who probably will help you all they can. Don’t quarrel with him any more. Take refuge in silence and do not
