Patience'ls the Need, Wife Told Permit Husband to Win Arguments, Jane Tells Woman. Don’t lot your prohlrmu defout you! ‘ Put thrm In a letter to Jane Jordan, who will help you see what to do. Dear Jane Jordan—l have two children in high school and this is my problem. My husband curses around about the least thing they do. They can’t do or say a thing but that he gets into an argument
with them. When they take a bath he complains that they use the gas. or put too much : water in the tub. ] We have to take : a bath, but you would think it i was a crime. He always is bringing up some little thing that doesn't amount to anything, nagging with us over any-

thing that may happen. We get afraid to move at times. If I speak he says I am slurring him. I love peace, but have given up hopes of ever having it. I don’t believe in divorce, but I can’t stand this much longer. I don't know what to do and thought you might be able to give me some advice. L. A. D. Answer—There are some men whose sole outlet for power lies in being a petty domestic tyrant. Without importance in industrial circles, sometimes they work under harsh taskmasters themselves and come home to “take it out” on their families. Sometimes a man of small stature thinks he has to be belligerent to be noticed. It is surprising what a few inehes in height will do to a man’s disposition. It is not inevitably true, but at least very usual to find a short man carrying a perpetual chip on his shoulder. How tail is your husband? What kind of father did your husband have? Was he, too, a tyrant whose family trembled at the sound of his voice? It is natural for a boy to model himself along the lines of his father. We often find men who suffered from harsh parental control revenging themselves on their own children. Sometimes they swing in the opposite direction and are overindulgent to their own children. At bottom your husband may be very fond of his children. Are they boys or girls? If he wanted boys and got girls it might account in part for his irritation. And if they are particularly appealing little girls he may be determined not to grow too fond of them and protect himself by pretending the opposite emotion. Such queer quirks are not at all uncommon in parents. Does your husband like to hunt, fish, bowl, play golf or any other games? If he does, encourage him, for it serves a double purpose. For one thing it keeps him out of the house, leaving you time to take baths in peace. For another it uses up his aggressive energies and gives him a chance to win at something. Don’t be afraid to let your husband win out in arguments at home. It makes him feel superior and when one feels superior it is harder to be cross and disagreeable. Perhaps you have become so disgusted with the man that you do not admire him any more and consequently show him no affection, no sympathy, no comprehension. The lack of these softening influences provides more opportunity for his temporary tantrums. To change the man would require a great deal of wise understanding, generosity and patience on your part, and your letter indicates you hardly feel equal to the task. Yet if you can see anything good left in him, the results might be worth the trial. How about it?

The way hats are decorated, women ouf) t to be in fine trim ior Easter.
BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor A VIRTUAL dress rehearsal for Easter is apparent in this picture. Here are two prominent Civic Theater players, Miss Brownie Miskimen and Mr. Richard Mansfield who appear as shining examples of triumphal Sunday clothes. Miss Miskimen wears, so graciously, this perfectly appointed costume suit of black imported wool crepe with rows of black taffeta fluting adorning the smooth-fitting jacket and skirt.
There’s a fashionable rustle to every little movement of this suit because of the crisp taffeta petticoat worn beneath! * 8 tt THE blouse, as you well may imagine, is all that femininity could command. Fashioned so daintily of gleaming white organza with set-in strips of narrow Alencon lace and infallibly fetching with round edged collar so flattering. That hat, which you surely must see for yourself to appreciate to the fullest measure, is a masterpiece of John Frederic’s. It symbolizes fashion in her dressiest mood, with a crown of net veiling
GOOD TO EAT BY LOLA WYMAN
A FRIEND of mine tells me she never wants to make the same thing twice. No matter how well a cake may turn out she is unwilling to repeat it. Os course, her attitude makes cooking a perpetual adventure, but when guests are expected I should think she would have some bad moments wondering about results. It’s a good plan to try new dishes on the family before serving them to company. How many households ever meet oysters any way but in stew, scalloped, creamed on toast or occasionally fried? Yet there are innumerable other fascinating recipes for preparing them, such as these turnovers. OYSTER TURNOVERS FOR 8 (.Main luncheon dish) 8 large oysters or 16 small ones. 11a cups flour. 4 tablespoons shortening.
Strain May Cause Lines BY AJ,ICIA HART Premature lines and wrinkles around the eyes generally are caused either by eyestrain or pure neglect. If you insist upon going without glasses when you know perfectly well that you need them and, although you know your skin is dry, never put nourishing cream around your eyes at night, fine lines are your own fault. If reading tires your eyes and makes your head ache, by all means see an eye doctor at once. If he recommends glasses, get them immediately. You probably won’t have to wear them with hats and evening gowns, so why worry? Even if you do, judicious shopping for frames that are more flattering than you suspect and careful choice of clothes will make you hate glasses a good deal less, stick to hats with brims, coiffures which form a soft frame for your face and, for evening, glasses which can be worn around your neck or carried in the hand when not actually in use.

and turban brim of fine straw strips interlaced together. It ends with a flourishing bow of black grosgrain at the back of the head and a flying nose veil to accentuate the charm of its face-to-face value! The silver fox furs swath Miss Miskimen in luxury and three fragrant gardenias reflect the festiveness of the occasion. Mr. Mansfield complements his escort with sartorial perfection in his flawlessly tailored cutaway, wing collar, top hat and ever important walking stick. Together, think, they make a perfect picture of what the consummate art of dress really means!
6 tablespoons butter. 1 teaspoon salt. 4 tablespoons ice water. 4 tablespoons grated cheese. 1 lemon. Little grated nutmeg. Salt, pepper. Drain oysters from liquor. Mix flour and salt and cut in shortening and butter. All ice water. Roll out on a slightly floured board and cut into rounds four inches in diameter. On each round place one large or two small oysters, sprinkle with salt, lemon juice, pepper and nutmeg. Brush edge of pastry with cold water and turn over, pressing edges together with a fork. Prick the top of each turnover with a fork and brush with milk. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in a hot oven (425) for 10 to 15 minutes. They should be a light brown. Serve with a cream-tartar sauce, made by diluting mayonnaise with heavy cream and adding finely chopped pickle or pickle relish and chopped chives to it.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
VTyASHIXGTON, Sunday—We flew down to Langley Field T near Newport News in three-quarters of an hour Friday afternoon. A friend of mine went with me and I took my daughter’s tw ? o children without a nurse, which they thought was a grand treat. I found it was the first time
they had really flown so they were very much thrilled. We had a few bumps to give them some excitement, but on the whole it was a very quiet trip. On arrival we went to visit Swanton. a community in which some houses are already occupied, built for Negro workmen of the Newport News Shipbuilding Corp. Individuality is allowed in the painting, and it really makes for great variety, although the houses are standardized so that they may be built more cheaply. It has been worked out so that the men are allowed to labor at given wages on their houses

and on clearing the land, this labor going toward the down payments. The houses are comfortable and well built with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, bathroom, hot water, electric light and city water. The rent per month is $16.40, which includes amortization, insurance, etc. This is all being done by a private corporation and shows what good business management, which has real interest and good will toward its employes, can do to back them up. On Saturday morning we were ready to leave for the shipyard at 9:15. I was presented with a most beautiful bouquet of American Beauty roses, and Sistie with an old-fashioned bouquet which pleased her so much she could hardly stand still. We had quite a little wait before the moment came for smashirtg the bottle and christening the ship, and I must admit I was a bit nervous for fear the bottle would not break. However, it smashed successfully, and fortunately before the ship actually slid down the ways, I remembered to say: “I christen thee the Yorktown.” It was a very impressive sight to see one of those big ships slide out, and interesting from the time the men began to knock out the supports from underneath, till she was safely In the water. We had a smooth trip back, and this morning, as my grandchildren were leaving, they insisted on a swim before breakfast. I have had a ride and have just very regretfully seen them off to New York for school, which begins tomorrow. (Copyright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)
