Stage Your Own Rescue, Wife Urged Victory May Wipe Away Disappointment, Jordan Says \Vh*l flaw In tout rraaonlnc pr*arn| vftu from r,iln* your problem*? Put ynur ra* before Jane Jordan and read hr:' opinion In thl column. Dear Jane Jordan—l have been married JO years and have a son of 9 by my husband and a son of 17 by a former marriage. Mv husband seemed to love me the first year, but after the son was born he

started neglecting me and now the child is all that matters. I live in my own house, which I took at my moth er’s death three years ago. For the last nine years he has lived at his mother's house, and I lived with my mother. His moth-

Jane Jordan

er has a large home, and his bedroom is just like It was when we were married. She and I have never had any words, bless her soul. She loves me and I can't break her heart by telling her the facts. A divided house can not stand. I have not been a wife to him for years. My husband Just allows me barely enough money for utilities and Insurance. He pays my grocer himself. He has said he won’t even do this after spring. He is one of the stingiest, tightest men I ever knew to work and draw a government Siilary. I average about $5 a week out of his pay. A government man I know told me he banked about SSO a month. Why shouldn’t he with no rent to pay? I am a switchboard operator by trade, but how or where to get work after 10 years, and at my age, I don’t know. He hollers all the time about my getting work, but I tell him my place is at home. I couldn't do both, but I am sick of this life. I am at the breaking point now. He says he won't pay for a divorce, but I believe I am ready for it, win or lose. What would you do? DESPONDENT. Answer—The trouble with the average woman who gets in a jam is that she wants to be rescued by a father, a lover or some other doting person. When no such person appears she simply gives up. It does not readily occur (o her that she ran work herself out of the complications which imprison her. If work comes to her mind at all as a method of escape she finds a hundred reasons why she can not do it, “no experience, scarcity of work, children too young to leave,” and so on ad infinitum. Yet, courageous women the world over have soared over these obstacles and worse. I have known women without a scrap of experience to walk out on a bad domestic situation and by sheer strength of determination learn a trade or profession or turn some small, unsuspected talent into money. One woman has turned a good fudge recipe into a large candy industry. She started in a small way by selling her friends, then small tradesmen, finally investing what

she saved as she went along in her own store. It is perhaps no accident that one woman whose husband never paid his bills if he could help it became an expert credit woman. Long experience by the side of an irresponsible man with ail the hallmarks of an honest gentleman taught her not to accept surface evidence in making an accurate judgment. Eyes that have been sharpened Lc. look for irresponsible attitudes at home can put their sad experience to constructive use if the will to succeed is present. Women with younger children than yours have found work in harder times than these under the relentless pressure of necessity. In work they have found more than mon'-y. They have achieved self-respect, self-reliance, independence, compensation for bitter disappointment. In short, they have found a content for their lives, and so ran you. If you are an earner you can divorce your husband without fear. You can divorce him now- and the court will force him to pay a just sum for the support of his child. The only trouble is that the poor mans divorce too often spells desertion. With no property to protect he can disappear and leave you in the lurch. Get your job first.

Keep a mental eye on next summer’s needs and you will automatically steer clem of the rajah trousers and the native peasant costumes. Workmanlike sports clothes, unique variations of the shirtwaist theme, plenty of whites with bright printed accents, and printed silks that will be news in June will start you off on the right track. Remember that the season’s most exotic creation may be a mistake in your wardrobe if you have to wear it too often. When you’re trying to keep the cost of vacation clothes down, you have no money to waste on mistakes. Fortunately, the moderately priced collections have for the most part been well edited by the store stylists. The wearable but inexpensive fashions are shown on today’s page. You can see that wearableness need not be unimaginative. The

very professional tennis suit is girlish and becoming. The heavy linen tennis dress, with a halter neckline, has been pointed up by a silk bow tie, belt and printed sandals. The cumberbund dress, because it is white accented with print, will be one of the smartest spectators at the Hialeah races. Nice to know that you can reverse the jacket to the side that is most spic and span. n n YT7’HILE no girl wants to deny ’ ' herself one billowy evening gown for moonlit nights (such as shirred white net with lots of lace flounces worn with a white maribou cape), she will be just as insistent on including a less formal print, like the one pictured of gray challis printed with wine and accompanied by a puffed sleeved jacket and stock tie. Knitted swim suits that have uplift designing are better investments than the printed puzzles that take a terrible beating in the sea air. However, you will probably want one of the novelties just for fun and one of the knits for real service. You can find both newspaper and magazine prints in

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX DANA opened her eyes. She was in a hospital room, in a hospital bed. Someone was holding one of her hands firmly. Dana closed her eyes again blissfully. Scott was here beside her. She wanted to be silent, letting this wonderful fact flood her whole being reassuringly, joyously. What if it should be a dream—only a beautiful dream? She turned her head slightly and looked at Scott. He bent and kissed her gently. “Take it easy, Mrs. S.” “I'm not dreaming,” Dana said. “You have been,” Scott said, squeezing her hand. “But you are awake now. That's you and this is me.” “Not grammatical, but wonderful,” Dana smiled at him. “I fainted?” “Yes.” He sat on the bed. pulling her up to a sitting position beside him, encircling her closely with his arms. “Didn't know' you liked me that much." Scott said in a low' tone. “But I guess you do, you young

idiot. I guess you love me as I do you—like hell.”' “Like hell,” Dana laughed out suddenly. “Oh. Scott, angel, what a way to describe the heavenly state we're in!" * nun “O PEAKING of heaven,” Scott grinned. “I’ve sent for a minister and a license. We have an awfully accommodating bunch of fellows around here.” “Were going to be married here at the hospital?” “Just as fast as we can. So I can hurry you home with the sanction of the law and begin taking care of you." “It will be forever and ever this time. I promise,” Dana said, in a low tone. “That goes for me, too,” Scott said earnestly. “It doesn’t seem fair for me to be so happy, when I’ve made Ronnie unhappy,” Dana said thoughtfully. * u “TJ ONNIE will thank me some JX. day when he marries a girl who is as big a fool about him as you are about me.” A nurse put her head in the door. “Dr. Stanley, that young girl in 422 has had a nervous reaction. There’s nothing the matter with her, but she's frightened and insists on seeing you.” “All right,” Scott said. The door closed. Dana smiled at Scott, “Don't worry about me. I'm all right. And I'm remembering you’re a doctor. I forgot it once, but I won’t again.” “There's a letter at home from Paula,” Scott said, slowly. “I want

It isn't necessary. I'm beginning to understand about Paula. And I don't want you to begin telling me professional secrets.” Scott stood looking down at her. Some day he would tell her about Paula. He owed it to her to make' tha*. episode in their .lives very clear. She would tell him about Ronnie. That wouldn't be necessary, either. But he would want her to tell him, just the same. He bent and kissed her. Dana lay quietly, smiling happily. There had been another quality in Scott's kiss. It had held love—oh, so much love. There had been, too, anew kind of respect.
