Dear Jane Jordan—This sounds like an old-fashioned drama. I am in love with a young man to whom I was engaged until a short time ago. I was seriously injured in an automobile accident and before 1

left the hospital the doctor told me I could never have any children, 1 know women have been told this before and then had a flock of children, but this is definite. I can’t. The man I was engaged to, A, is simply mad about children. He used to tell me by the hour of the things we would do for his son and for Jane Jordan his daughter. I knew: our marriage never could be al success without them, and he would not adopt a child, so I broke our engagement. He argued and argued with me, then finally admitted I was right. This was about three months ago. Now I go with a young man who is very nice. I can not love him the way I do A, but I do respect, admire and trust him, He knows I can not have a child and does not care. . Now here's the rub. A is going with a former friend of miné who seems to be everything a man would want in a wife and the type who would make a wonderful mother. I happen to know that she had an operatio at one time of such a nature that she can't have a child, either. But she won't tell him. Of that I am certain.

‘She always told me that no matt8r who her husband might be she wouldn't tell him. She is entirely unscrupulous. I want him to be happy and he won't be with her. It. would be useless to talk to her and I don’t see how I can go to him. I never meddle in other peo- . ple’s affairs, but I feel that this concerns me, too. Could you please answer real soon? Tell me something. When I say I am desperate, I mean it. What shall IT do? DESPERATE. Answer—It is pretty tough for you to go right on minding your own business under such circumstances, but I believe that it is the smartest thing you can do. The only person whose destiny you are responsible for is you. There is no reason for you to go about saving others, particularly the man who regarded you only as a mechanism for the production of his children. Your judgment was sound and wise and I am not at all convinced that you have sustained a great loss.. If the young man had any real love for children as such, he wouldn't have been opposed to adoption. I do not mean that the man hasn't a perfect right to have children of his own, but I do know that when the love of children is above ‘the love between husband and wife, . that the wife is apt to have an unfulfilled life. Moreover, such a situation is not so good for the ichildren. Usually it is the wife who tries to work out her own emotional needs through the children, which leaves the husband out on a limb emotionally and handicaps the children as well. Apparently in this case it is the other way ‘round. Believe me, it's not a set-up to be envied by any one. May I compliment you on your ability to ‘have a look at the future before you gratify the desires of the present, as your friend is attempting to do. Such conduct is the mark of an emotionally mature person. Undoubtedly the day will come when this young man no longer makes an emotional appeal to you and you will feel no necessity to stand between him and disappointment. Your duty toward him ended

Old Attic May

| I . 1

Be Converted Into Modern Guest Room at Low Cost

. BY EMILY GENAUER TTICS, like closets, exist mostly to conceal old clothes, family skeletons and bad housekeeping. But with the advent of summer and its accompanying wave of overnight guests, brought on by providential (for them) thunderstorms, missed trains and flat tires, another use is suggested for the attic which heretofore has seen its chief service

sure, if one’s primary reaction to stay-over guests is to discourage them, then, by all means indicate, with a sinister demeanor, the fivefoot sofa in the living room on which, in the Procrustean manner, they will be obliged to squirm and even sharing the space with a kitten who refuses to be thus unceremoniously ousted from its carefully selected berth. But if your hospitality is made of sterner stuff, anc you really enjoy having company about, then it is a good idea to provide for them diggings from which they will not stagger in the morning with spinal cords wrinkled by creases it will take days to iron out. . ® = = ™ most striking example we have uncovered to date of a successfully reclaimed attic exists in that three-story frame structure, the exact counterpart of about a million others over the country, which the magazine, Child Life, under supervision of its assistant publisher, E. Evalyn Crumbine, recently remodeled into a home of genuine charm gnd individuality. After making comparatively few basic structural changes in the old- | fashioned, outmoded, dreary exterior and interior of the house, applying bright and colorful wall coverings and paint, substituting graceful, well-proportioned furniture in proper scale to the rest of the house, for the clumsy, overstuffed suites with which it had been furnished before, and hanging fresh, imaginative draperies at the windows, the modelers proceeded to the attic and effected the most extraordinary transformation of all. : First they cleared out all the accumulated rubbish. New windows and doors were installed and a new floor laid. Then a new type of wallboard was applied to the ceiling and walls (insulated to ward off the heat of the sun beating down on the roof) in a manner which changed slightly the shape of the ceiling. Over it was laid a sturdy waterproof wall covering in a cheerful, light green plaid design.

. = =n =»

OW came the actual decorating. On the floor was laid a plaid, broadloom rug in a brown, cherry and green plaid design, simulating the texture of old hooked rugs. The furniture chosen was of cherry, made in the Colonial style, with the beds simple four-posters. Even the lamps and accessories were in keeping, the vases and decorative pieces being of old-look-ing, hob-nailed glass. The lighting facilities in the old attic room were entirely inadequate. One ugly socket dangled from the middle of the ceiling and was connected with a lamp. The transformed guest room had four new outdets installed for lighting conveniences. Over each bed was hung one of the new lamps which may be adjusted to: suit individual needs. Attractive lamps were also placed on the dressing table and chest.. A floor lamp by an easy chair, and -a modern ceiling fixture, complete the lighting equipment. ” ” # . O there you have the whole room, completely rejuvenated. Where before there were dust. and confusion, now are beauty, orderli-

ness and harmony. The room is remarkably ‘well suited to- the accommodation of guests, For one thing, without being flat or cold, it is still appropriately impersonal. There are, for instance, no family photographs, heavily framed, to frown down on a|tarrying guest. Instead of these, attractive flower prints hang low over each bed. There is plenty of storage space for clothes (a large chest of drawers, matching the beds, is not shown in the photograph), adequate light for reading in bed, and that seclusion from the heart of the family which guests invariably

prefer. \

UT, best of all, the cost of the transformation was very low. We have listed all the items, with the exception of floor and small

lamps, bed spreads and linens. Cost of installing four mew electric outlets, $4.50 each.

Lumber for new floor, windows

and baseboard, $20. Twelve rolls of fine wallpaper at $2.10 each. Wall board, less than $20. Rug, 9x12 feet, $30. Two hanging lamps, $17 each. Ceiling fixture, $6. Two cherry beds, $19.25 each. Cherry dressing table, $40.50. Cherry bench, $16.50. Cherry dresser, $52.50. Cherry mirror, $20.50. Cherry night table, $15. Chair, $9.40. Curtains, $4. A pair of crystal and lead vases, $4 for the pair. A crystal hobnail bowl, $1. Box spring and cushion, $84.50. Add to these the nominal cost of one-half gallon of enamel paint and of one-half gallon of varnish, assorted screws, nails, bolts and such, and you have the whole room, with furniture and reconstruction, coming to about $400.

Short Wearers Get Complete

Grooming Tips]

BY ALICIA HART Times Special Writer T= girl who wears shorts and bathing suits simply has to be well groomed from head to foot. It is not enough that her face, hands and -hair show careful attention. Her back, legs, shoulders and feet must be equally attractive. First of all, consider feet and legs. Are your toes neatly manicured and finished with bright lacquer? Are feet free from corns, bunions, callouses and discolored spots? If not, you ought to see a foot doctor at once, and to plan to give yourself a - pedicure. It really takes less "time - than a manicure and is almost as important. : Your legs certainly should not be covered with superfluous hair. Get . a liquid or cream depilatory and use it regularly on leg as well as under

arms. Use Bath Brush

Contract Problem

BY W. E. MKENNEY American Bridge League Secretary A SOUND guide for the bridge enthusiast, in the play of the hand, is to take nothing for granted. Do not, for instance, assume that, because you have three cards of one suit in one hand and four in the other, headed by the ace, king and queen, the suit will break and the last card set up as a winner. It is this kind of childish faith that causes the loss of many contracts, as it did in today’s hand, The hand, as it was played by declarer, went down because he hoped for a heart break to give. him the needed second spade dis--card; but this was not the safest

plan of play. Declarer’s hand is not balanced, and a spade trick should have been given up quickly. It is just the type of careless play made by declarer on this hand which causes endless arguments at the bridge table. Too much is taken for granted, and it appears that the human mind is so constituted that, when the eye sees four cards of a suit in one hand and three in the other, the .assumption follows that each of the unseen hands holds three each. It's a chance that is contrary to the mathematics of the . game, and foolish to take if there is another course available by which the contract can be made. Correct play would have been to lead two rounds of trumps and then return a spade. ‘East, in the lead, could make no return that would not permit fulfillment of the contract. The club king would afford parking space for one losing spade, and dummy'’s nine of trump would ruff the other: Copyright. 1936. NEA Service. Inc.)

Women Have No Desire for - Exploration, Writer Declares

BY HELEN WELSHIMER

We women like our comforts too well. We can’t get along without cold cream and bath tubs. When night comes, and we realize theie isn't a deep, soft mattress somewhere near, we collapse instead of relax, on, our canvas cots. That, we are told, is the reason that the ladies don’t beg their husbands t> take them along to the jungles when they go exploring, No, women merely kiss the men goodbye and have their pictures taken with the men on the boat before it sails. No less an authority than Dr.

| Cyril von Baumann, noted explorer,

who is starting out to Ecuador with Andre Roosevelt to enter regions where only one white man has ever

penetrated—a man who never came back—made this assertion. Men can get along without shaving and bathing and enjoy their rice and cooked snake meat—but not thz ladies; he says, Oh, no, never.

Getting Real Facts

“Is that the only reason that the girls are left behind you?” we asked. “After all, women do climb om ainy and go on fishing trips Dr. von Baumann corrected himself. It seems that there is a more

NEW FABRICS ARE USED FOR DRESSES

For the house and garden section of the 1936 bride's trousseau designers have launched a whole galaxy of leap year fabrics—bright sprigged cottons and piques splashed with peasant : patterns, leaves, flowers or gaily colored designs, on white or light grounds. Some prints as sheer as lawn are made into crisp little house frocks with high necklines, short sleeves and fluted collars and cuffs. Heavier materials such as plain or printed piques make sports frocks or bright Jackets for town and country wear.

forceful reason for the stag lines to the jungles, so it isn’t fair to accuse us of too much love of creature comforts. : “Men, even the best of friends, when they are far away from civilization, in a group which includes, say, just one woman who is the wife of one of the men, will begin to grow jealous and covetous. Living so closely together, as people on jungle expeditions must do for protective. purposes, ‘all akiutions must be performed within sight of one another. much, often, for the men. Even splendid men sometimes will plot tn procure the woman’s favors, and grow jealous of those who stand in their way. The expedition may he overthrown vecause of a woman.”

Best Not to Go

This being true, it is just as well that {we don’t want to go, anyway. There are dangers enough in IndoChina and Mongolia and the regions of the South Seas and all the other places where the expeditions are making their surveys today, without women bringing in bigger ones. Yet, Dr. von Baumann, is it fair tu say that we cherish ultra-comfort when we couldn't go anyway? Certainly an occasional women does go on an expedition that, so far as is known, gets along like a big, happy family which comes cheerfully back fo New York Harbor, laden with rhinoceros hides and statistics on vanishing wild life and biological explorations in New Guinea and other places. This, it appears, is the exception.

Woman's Place Explained Probably the main reason that women do not go adventuring into physical wildernesses is: due to our lack of desire, Men have fought the jungles through the long ages that wind back to the dawn of creation. Women have kept the fires, hright flowers in a bowl, and something simmering in a kettle against a man’s return. There are two sexes in the world, and each has a certain strength and a certain place in the cosmic program.

That, Dr. von Baumann, is why we |

don’t take our knapsacks and go up the Ganges. Maybe we would miss our cold creams; maybe we would bring you into danger. That doesn’t influence us. We just don’t want to go and most of us aren't at all offended because we haven't been invited to a jungle party. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Voters’ League Seeks Opinions of Candidates

Twenty-four: Indiana candidates for Congress are expected to answer questionnaires sent them by the Indiana League of Women Voters this week. ; Questions were on subjects of legislative concern to the League, and information derived from answers is to be cempiled and made available to League members throughout the state before the November election. Among questions included were those on extension of the merit system; extent to which the Federal government should assume responsibility for social legislation and public welfare; enactment of a new food and drug law for the purpose of consumer protection, and tariff reduction and trade bargaining through reciprocal trade agreements. Prospective Congressmen also were asked for an expression of their opinions on a proposed neutrality policy for the United States, and amount of: appropriations they believe necessary- for various government agencies. Preparation of questionnaires for candidates for the Indiana General Assembly’ now are being prepared at League headquarters.

Summer Calls for Hot Muffins

There’s nothing like blueberry muffins, ‘and they want to be hot out of your own oven for breakfast, tea or luncheon, or for the one hot dish for a dinner of jellied consomme, cold meats, salad, fruit and cake, when the thermometer gets out of hand.. Your consomme or tomato bouillon will jelly deliciously right in the can in the electric refrigerator, if you have not time to stir up your own. Give it a few drops of Worcestershire, and a squeeze of lemon juice if you like high seasoning as a hot weather tonic. A cheese cracker or a pretzel stick will not go amiss with it. The mixed green salad comes out of the refrigerator crisper into the salad bowl, and the dressing is waiting in a corked bottle to be

shaken and applied at the table and

well mixed. . And now to get at those blueberry muffins—and give the rangs just a look-in, for 25 minutes only. Even here the refrigerator gets in an assist, for the batter may be mixed and put in a covered bowl in the refrigerator, to have the berries added and be slipped in the oven half an hour before they are wanted by a hostess all ready for dinner, and no harm done to her make-up or ruffles. ..

Frightened families and friends peered through spy glasses as rescue boats ‘hurried through the high waves. ; As the race began, Clayton Mogg's craft crossed the starting line frst, and held this position until the end of the first lap, when Stephen Hord, Lake Forest, overtook him for a short time. Mr. Mogg made up his loss- and came in first.

Class C Race Thrilling

The race for Class C boats offered an equal number of thrills, as spectators watched five boats capsize, including that of William C. Griffith, last year’s Class C winner. An off-shore wind yesterday, which made the lake look comparatively calm, brought dangerous squalls on every tack. Three boats capsized. Ag . Mogg held first place, finishing about six lengths ahead of william Munk, whose boat had capsized in the Saturday race. Culver Military Academy’s new boat, which won last year’s Inland Regatta C class trophy, came in yesterday by half a boat’s length ahead of Miss Elinor Winslow, causing shouts of excitement among spectators. Clayton Mogg’s victory this year was a repeat of his winning in the same class last summer.

Many New Boats

Many new boats were entered this year, including Migs Winslow’s, daughter of Walker Winslow, which won in Class C. Other new boats were those of Frederick T. Holliday, fleet commodore, Class E; Pierce Ward, Class E; Frederick E. Matson and C. Harvey Bradley, Class C.
