Jordan Declares Wife Can End Husband’s Parent Fixation.

Don’t give up on your problem’ Write 16 Jane Jordan for more information.

She will answer your letters in this column, .

_ Dear Jane Jordan: What would Jou do if you were married and had & two-year-old girl and your hustold you that he loathed you ~ and wanted you to get out? He didn’t say this in a fit of anger. It has been this way ever since we married. The reason is that I don't do things like his mother. He always cared more for her than for me. He never eats a meal at home but always goes to his mother’s. She has 80 hard to separate us and I believe she will succeed. Should 1 £0 back to my folks at home or stay and live in a hell on earth with some one who hates me? My father is having a hard struggle in keeping his home, and that is why I have put off going back. It would please me so much if you would print this and give me an’ answer $0 the best of your knowledge. THANK YOU x = # Answer—It seems a shame to let the mother lick you when you and your: child need your husband and -father so much. You can’t emulate him and return as a hurt child to your own parents without becoming an intolerable burden. You'd find earning a living for yourself and child equally difficult. Since all . avenues of escape are cut off, isn't it better to work with what materials you have, even though they ‘are disagreeable to handle. I doubt very much if your husband actually loathes you. As a rule such extravagant statements are made to cover the opposite feeling. He may want you to get out because you disturb his infantile relation with his mother; but do remember that he wouldn't have married in the first place unicss part of him wished to cut “fhe silver cord.” At least he made a . stab in the direction of normality.: When he found that you weren't a duplicate of his mother he turned on you in a childish tantrum and you smacked back. Now you're + mad at each other, but all is not "lost: In reducing your problem to a childish level, I do not wish to minimize it. A mother fixation is hard to break and it can not be done by another child. You will have to grow up and not react like another baby when “him goes home to him’s muvver.” My fear is that in gaining further insight into the infantile nature of your husband’s problem that you will taunt him with it. Nothing could be a graver mistake. You must fight with concealed weapons which are dangerous in the hands of any but a full-grown, well-poised adult. Why scorn “doing things like mother” as a strategic move in vanquishing the enemy? If he runs home to eat, is it not because she cooks his favorite food and flatters him? You don’t wean a baby by starving him to death but by giving him other food: Nor do you put

You are desperaté and defensive because you're losing. Where is your courage? Where are your woman’s wits? Where are the wiles which won him in the first place? Put down your disappointment and attack your problem with the will to win, Surely you are equipped with intuitive, instinetive gifts which will work for you if only you learn not to show your hurt feelings so read-

Solution to Previous

Contract Problem American Bridge League Secretary Peruars West did play this hand “wide open,” as bridge players say when the defending side has an established suit, while ~ declarer must establish winners in another suit and then take a finesse to fulfill his contract. But behind the method of play decided upon was sound logic and the knowledge that, if declarer’s plan did not work, the contract could not be made by any other line of play. Thus, declarer’s choice was what ‘some bridge players call a “percentage” play. The odds were for him, because the chances favored division of the honors in the suit, i the plan was dictated by 1 ty, because the open hand had only a single card of entry.

NTAGE’ PLAY

the diamond and hope to lose only one trick in that suit. But, unfortunately, West had a single entry to dummy. He then hit upon the one line of play that gave him a chance and, as the cards actually lay, permitted him to make his contract. z He decided to play for a division of the diamond honors, and to conserve his entry to dummy by making the first diamond lead from his own hand. North's jack won the trick. / North returned a heart. West won this trick and then led his singleton spade, discarding two ¢lubs on the remaining high spades in dummy. The diamond finesse was taken, and when it held, the contract was made. The plan would have failed had North held both diamond honors, but it was the one chance to make the contract.
