DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl, 21, and have been married and separated for a year. We went back together again and at first my husband took me any place I cared to go, but now it is<just like it was before we were separated. He never takes me any place. When he comes home and cleans up and eats his dinner I ask him to take me some place, but he always has an alibi. I like to dance and have good time like all the other married girls, but it seems there is no chance. I sit in the house day and night and never go out. If it wasn’t for the young married Tir next door 1 don't know what I would do. She keeps me company and we are both treated alike. Give me some kind of advice. READER,

ANSWER—If you sit in the house in the daytime, surely it is your own fault, You could find something to do and perhaps this is the solution to your problem. Get a job, adopt a baby, do something that will use up your energies in the daytime and fatigue you enough to make home seem like a blessed relief. This is the way your husband feels about home, I am sure. A woman who stays home all day has no concept of the nervous energy it takes to hold down a job. When your husband comes home he is spent, whereas you are ’rarin’ to go. In the first place, a girl of 21 has no business being married at all. Marriage is a problem for two adults to tackle, but hardly a satisfying arrangement for a skittish girl. Of course you want to laugh, dance and be merry! Your husband, expected that marriage would change you into a mature, settled woman, but such miracles do not occur. No doubt he found the strength to take you out when he was courtinig you and for that reason should compromise by going out with you once in a while now whether he feels like it or not. Meantime, find something more tiring in the daytime than comparing griefs with those of your next-door neighbor.

” 2 8 DEAR JANE JORDAN—I have liked a boy for over a year, but he goes with another girl and they both care a lot for each other. This girl is sweet. I have only met her once but my girl friend saw her often and thinks this boy doesn't care for me. I am still hoping, for I know he liked me once, and I think he will again. What shall I do to win him back? CONSTANT READER.

ANSWER—If I knew any sure-fire method a girl could use to win any boy who took her fancy, I could make my fortune; but I do not. I only wonder if you really want the boy for himself or if you want the . fun of taking him away from a worthy competitor. No doubt he is very attractive to be admired so heartily by two girls, but after all it isn’t half so much fun té charm an unpursued boy, is it? ’ JANE JORDAN

The popularity of lacy negligees is strong again, and delicate, lavishly trimmed nightdresses are the thing.

Etiquette

By PATRICIA

HE TABLE—the service plates should be set at the center, of the cover, one inch from the edge of the table; at the right ot the plate lay the knife, soup spoon and the oyster fork, in order of their use; the one first used farthest from the plate; the cutting edge of the knife should be toward the plate, the bowl of the spoon upward. At the left of the plate set the forks, tines upward, the one first used farthest from the plate. If a maid is in attendance the silver for the dessert should be set in place after the table is cleared for the dessert course. Do not crowd the articles of the cover. Let them lie rather compactly in such a manner that the whole may form a separate unit in the middle of 20 to 30 inches of space. - At, no time should there be more than three forks and two ‘knives at any one cover. : Set the water glass at the point of the knife and wine glasses beyond it. Bread and butter plates, if used, are placed at the tip of the fork, with the butter spreader laid across the top. These plates are not used generally at formal dinners. Place cards, if used, are centered just above the plate. The napkin should be placed to the left of the forks, or on the service plate. If large, the sides are folded to make a flattended roll or plain square.

Easy Exercises Make Graceful Hands Possible

BY ALICIA HART Times Special Writer “Please give me some exercises that will make my hands more supple. and . graceful,” writes a young woman. “I do’ not need grooming routines. However, in spite of the fact that my hands are neat and white, I am constantly aware of their awkwardness.” | There are many hand exercises which, if done regularly, certainly will make fingers and wrists supple and therefore graceful. Begin with simple steps, such as this: Place your elbows on a table with forearms erect and fingers straight. Drop the fingers back until palms are facing upward. Then gradually bring hands forward, moving each finger individually and making wrists do the work. Continue the forward movements until tips of third fingers touch base of thumbs. Now extend fingers slowly, one at a time, until they are straight again. Make believe that you. are pulling taffy. Swing arms outward,

'| fingers outstretched. Bring them to-

gether in front of you, fingers together. Repeat, slowly, about 20 times. Imagine that you are shaking water from fingertips. Shake arms, letting fingers ‘snap together io make the imaginary drops fall. Open and close hands rapidly a few times. Also, keep in mind that hands in repose always are lovelier than those which flutter constantly. Don’t fuss with your clothing, drum on the arm of the chair or wave your hands wildly back and forth pwhile you are talking, Gestures with meaning are one thing.” Nervéus, jittery, useless ones are quite another. .

Discipline During Heat Wave, ~~ Mothers, Fathers Are Advised Hot Weather Tries Young Nerves as Well as

. Adults’; Care for Child More Important Than Training at This Time of Year.

#

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON : weather it is almost useless to begin experimenting on

scorching days, all any of us can do is to get through with routine work and try to keep as comfortable as possible. Tempers are at the exploding point and small matters are magnified beyond rea-

save themselves and the family all the friction possible. It is often asked whether children feel the heat as much as their elders. They do in this way: Our bodies are calculated to do their most normal work in an average temperate climate. So, while some few may function better in extreme heat, is is not the rule. When weather goes above or below a cere tain “mean” normal (for us) we can not make the quick adjustment without physical balance feeling the strain. We can and do make the shift remarkably well because we are the most adaptable machines in the laboratory of nature, but extra heat or exra cold do things to our chemistry, nevertheless.

Child Is Unaware of Nerves

The nerves go first. And here comes in the difference between child and adult. The child will

be unconsciously nervous, while we, filled with apprehension and emotion about the blast furnace, add to our own discomfort. In this: way we do feel the heat more than chile dren. Food plays an important part in keeping the children well and comfortable. Digestion depends upon nerves and the “su er stomach” is no fable. Not only this but cere tain foods generate more heat, that is, the sugars and carbo-hydrates, Unless the child is unusually active he can’t use up an excess of energy-and-heat-producing foods. He needs some, yes, but not as much as in winter. This is the lush time of year when fruits and vegetables provide for most of nature's needs. This does not mean that we should eliminate all meat or all starches, but that the child who lives on meat, potatoes, gravy and cake will not be as cross as a bear and possibly ill. Neither does it mean that ice tea, sandwiches and raw fruit will keep him going. Food in summer should be regular, with meals as usual, and not too much deviation from normal. The difference is that in extreme heat, the accent should be on the lighter foods rather than the heavy ones of winter.

Care Supercedes Training

Child care is more important than child training in any kind of extreme weather, not only for physical reasons but because no child is receptive when he is uncomfortIt is hard to abide by. this when misbehavior seems to expand with the mercury, and our own temperaments are working overtime. Constant exasperation leads to insistent scolding all too easily.

Put over all the little lessons you can when it’s around 80 degrees. At a 100, almost anything you have to say will be used against you; and you will have an argument on your hands as well as a torn suit to

mend or a lost wagon to hunt. (Copyright, 1936; NEA Service, Ine.)
