EAR JANE JORDAN—I have been married for eight months to a lovely girl. Again and again I have ex-

plained to her the workings of our budget consistent with

my salary. Monday I give

her the household money for

her personal and household expenses. Every. week about Wednesday or Thursday she tear-

fully comes to me asking for more money. This has happened so often that last month I had to borrow money to pay the premium on my life insurance. I love my wife and wish to make her happy. How can I teach her to manage her affairs, or do you think that if she did not learn after eight months that she never will learn, and that I had better leave her. now while there are no children to suffer from her misman-

agement.

BUDGETEER.

ANSWER—Why not give your wife enough money to last until Wednesday and then enough

to last the rest of the week?

She acts like the

Indian who was sent from one frontier fort to an-

other carrying a, message. fort he was given a large meal and a package of food to last him on the journey. J Instead of carrying the food he sat down a

Before leaving the first

short distance from the fort and added the package of lunch to an already full stomach. Now if your wife persists in acting like an untutored savage, she will have to be treated as such. If she can’t - handle a large sum of money so that it will come out right perhaps she can do better with a small sum. At any rate it is too bad to break up a marriage which is

satisfactory otherwise simply extravagant cry baby.

Perhaps you need more of the kind but

DEAR JANE JORDAN—How can a girl really meet nice men when she enters the business world? Nearly all the men around offices are either married or just plain uninterested. I belong to a church where there is no young people’s club. I dislike blind dates; so there is only one solution, it seems, and that is to flirt with the available men. That doesn’t seem the best possible way to win a boy friend. Can you

help me to good times?

DISCOURAGED.

ANSWER~—Always remember you meet men through the -, women you know. Cultivate the married women whom you meet

in business.

One day one of these women will need a young girl to entertain a younger brother, cousin or acquaintance, and if you have gone out of your way to win her friendship, she will think of you. Cultivate the women and you'll meet the men. This is particularly. true of the older women who do not regard you as a competitor for a

. young man’s attention.

JANE JORDAN.

decoration of at least one boudoir. The setting (above) is effective with a gracious lightness and dignity of design which give it unusual charm. The dressing table is the key feature of the room and is reminiscent of grandmother's wedding gown, with its flounces of shirred taffeta The upper flounce of cream taffeta harmonizes with ivory-toned chintz . window draperies. The deep rose colored: flounce and baw, catch the accents of the same color shown in the French figures of the drapes. » ” ”

HE prime essential of rooms intended for feminine occupancy is always the dressing table mirror. In this instance the straight line hangings at the windows outline the l~rge mirror in decorative manner. The bed, which you see- reflected in the mirror, has a twin. They are harmonious examples of the successful co-operation of the designer and the craftsman. The exposed wood surfaces are of antique walnut and the bedspreads of cream colored, satin-striped moire are in keeping with ‘room’s general lightness. With pipings of delphinium blue they- link-up with clear :blue walls of the same heavenly.-shade. Glistening white woodwork, venetian blinds, and clear white lamps all enhance the color scheme of the rose and blue of the room. : The quaint dressing table chair "of Louis XVI design reflects the rose tones, also in its satin-striped upholstery, and the airiness of the room is held down in proper proportion by a warm colored rose carpet of deep tones.

Honest View of Figure Is Aid to Correct Posture

BY ALICIA HART Times Special- Writer

“It's difficult to teach women to stand and walk correctly because very few of them are honest: with themselves about their own figures,” an exercise director said recently.

“If 1 can get a girl to step before a mirror without changing : her normal position, then to admit the flaws in her posture, I can help her. But if she straightens up and is - conscious of ‘her stance only when in front of a glass, the task is pretty tedious.” Any woman can analyze her own posture, he insists, and correct the defects in- it, too. She should remember that good carriage means

hollow, a high chest and hips carried forward. : Floor Test Easy When you lie flat on the floor with knees doubled up so weight of the legs rests on balls of the

feet, the last three or four verfe-|

brae of the spinal column should be turned upward. There should be very little or no- space between the center of your back and the floor. When you get up, retain the position. If ack curves too much in the center, stomach and hips will not be

straight up and down. . When you walk, you ought to think of your body as being lifted up toward the sky. Imagine. that a string, suspended from the clouds, is attached to the top of your head. Whenever you slump, the string pulls your hair. Remember, too, that correct breathing is an important requisite of good posture. »

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

BY WILLIAM E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary IF declarer holds the king and one small card of a. suit in the dummy, and three to the jack in his own hand, he can, of course, make no’ trick in that suit, if he has to lead it and finds the ‘ace to the right of the king. On the other hand if that suit is led by a defending player, the declarer can

.always assure himself of one trick “in the suit, regardless of where

the missing honors are located. On the opening lead of the heart four, south, who was well acquainted with this rule, played the six from dummy, and East correctly finessed against his partner by playing the 10, He reasoned that West might hold the queen and. jack of .hearts, and thus the king could be captured.

‘This would be impossible if East

played the ace on the first lead. South won the trick with the jack, and took stock of his resources. He had one heart trick and three diamond tricks ,and he could develop additional tricks in clubs or spades. . If the club king was held by East he was sure of four clubs which, with his other tricks, would give him his contract. On this theory declarer played

He then led the club queen; East, of course, refused to make the useless cover, but South let the trick ride, Declarer then - continued ' the club suit, winning four clubs, three diamonds, one heart, and one spade, fulfilling his contract.

Community Reform Impossible

There isn't anything to be’ done, that's the sad part of it. Nothing I know of anyway. There she is, the mother with her home all set in the community, and there are the neighbors. Even if fhe neighbors are nice, and their children nice, there exist still the differences in ages, in temperaments and ine terests. Some are allowed to do this, some that. Orders ir one family are disregarded in others. Ths permissions are different and the standards by which they are judged. However, when it comes to down right impossible surroundings, then the .only thing. to be. done is to plan moving away. ; When a.situa« tion is serious, only radical meas ures will: help. vw One can not make over .a whole community, and neither. can one always be fussing with -other par« ents about what their children have done. This isn’t good for the child anyway, always to be having: his battles fought for ‘him. Indeed, the fewer outside champions he hag the better. He should learn to fight his own fights to bear with trouble. However, we are talking now about the influence on general, charactér, politeness, kindness and the verities, It - works out “about the same, Jimmy’s training and his character are as’importart, or more so, than his immediate happiness. So, "it is right to change residence for one

‘thing, it is equally: right to consider

the other. > A y School Days Bring Relief

Sometimes it is possible to “take the child off for: part of each day to other scenes and people, or in some way change his present group. When school: begins there is a better chance. of doing so; because ‘he may find congenial souls in “his room, which will facilitate mew friendships. AT AT But by-and-large, the community and its problems are still there. And

‘as it happens, sometimes it is the

community itself that suffers if an incorrigible moves in. One bad boy can spoil an erstwhile peaceful and happy street. It works both ways. In looking for a house,.it pays to

‘take thorough stock.of the close~by

inhabitants - before deciding. . Ask

| yourself, “Will the. children around

here - be clean . and - well-behaved? Are there boys and girls about: the right age.to play with?”..And so on. It will save time and. trouble later. But if you own your property,:that is another story. In this case there is nothing left but to. try and get playmates from afar:who are- like your own children in kind - and breeding. ! 2 ‘ (Copyright, ' 1936, NEA Service." Inc.)
