. ” » DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I1 am married to a man who makes a good salary but who will not allow’ me any money for my personal use. He expects me to stay at

home all day and never go any place or do anything that . 1 am not extravagant, but I would like

involves money.

to be able to play in an occasional bridge club and see a movie every now and then. Should I leave this man and su€ him for separate

~ maintenance, or should I allow myself to remain his household drudge?

I must do something soon as I can no longer stand

his excessive stinginess.

JUST A DRUDGE.

ANSWER—What would happen if you got a job and earned your own spending money? I expect your husband would put up a big howl about

your neglect of your household duties and of him.

If you had -enough firmness and decision in your makeup to make him see that he neglected you before you neglected him, and that he forced you to take such a step in order to have just an

average amount of money to spend, it would make

an impression and drive your point home. Of course this is a very superficial solution of the problem. In

man is stingy.

' order to effect a lasting cure we would have to understand why the Unwarranted stinginess is a symptom of some psychol-

ogical disorder which is beyond the province of this column. The chances are that money is a symbol which really stands for something else in your husband’s mind. To straighten it out would require the services of an expert. Nevertheless the simpler solution might bring alittle relief into a strained situation.

. 8 8 B® x EAR JANE JORDAN-—I work in an office with: a number of other girls. We all read your column daily and discuss it during our

lunch hour.

We would like to go out at night and dance a while but

we do not wish 10 pay for our dances with excessive kissing. Why can’t the men understand that all girls do not enjoy

this end to every evening?

Why can’t they take us home at

night and leave us without the needless scene which usually results when we try to control their advances? Won't you please tell them that girls appreciate a pleasant evening much more if all is based on mutual friendship and not sex appeal? Do you think we are old-fashioned because we ask this of our escorts?

OFFICE GIRLS.

ANSWER—Boys who kiss all the time are too limited in intelligence to be able to think of anything else to do, or the young lady is so dull that they know of no other method of entertaining her. I do not mean that only dumb boys kiss, but only thaf intelligent young men have more than one string to their bow. If you do your best to divert the young man in conversation devoted: to his interests without success, then you simply have chosen a youth of limited intelligence and would do well to look around until you

found somebody more versatile.

Molded Peas and Cold Meats

Suggested for Summer Fare

BY LOLA WYMAN What a bore cooking in the summer can be—if you let it. If your mind is a blank when you go into your grocer’s and you let your eyes pick out a can ot this and a can of that for dinner, no wonder you yawn at the very thought of food. Go fortified with an idea before you get to the store. An idea such as this—molded p¢ - serve with cold meats; #'t it"Sound good?

And such sa nice change from the|

inevitable potato salad, too. MOLDED PEAS FOR 4 OR § 1 can of peas or. 2 lbs. fresh peas Salt, pepper 1 teaspoon onion juice 1 teaspoon gelatin Minced olives Parsley, lettuce Rub the drained can of peas

BEGIN HERE TODAY _ Molly Milford, rich and popular, has received proposals of marriage from three suitors, but Brent Stuart, whom she loves, has not asked he’ to marry him. ; Bored with parties, Molly goes to “The Red Poppy,” questionable night .club, with another admirer, Wick Ross. The lights go out and when they come on Molly find herself dancing with a handsome stranger. He tells her his name is “Nelson Whittaker.” In reality he is Nelson Ferguson, bank robber, one of a group planning to spirit Molly away and hold her for ransom. A few days later he asked her to have dinner with him and she agrees. Waiting for him at a downtown store, Molly encounters a girl who is her exact double. Impulsively Molly exchanges her luxurious costume for the other girl’s shabby one. Molly apd “Whittaker” go to a place called “Frepchy’s.’”” Police arrive and there is shooting in which “Whittaker” is fatally injured. - Molly is forced. into a car and taken to a deserted farm house. Leola Barlow, the girl with whom Molly changed clothes, is found dead. Newspapers report that the dead girl is the heiress, Molly Milford. A member of the orchestra at ‘Frenchy’s” tells Brent Stuart that a young woman sent him a message, but the message is lost. The musician adds that the girl looked exactly like Molly Milford, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER NINE : ACK in the library, Brent turned the pages of the newspaper with shaking fingers. The report of Molly's death had almost crowded the story of the bank robber from the front page. It was there, less conspicuously placed, and there was a line reading, “Picture on Page Two.” *

Brent studied the photograph of the young man the police had slain. There wasn’t a doubt of it. He was the same man who had danced with Molly that night at “The Red Poppy.” Sleek, dark hair, bold eyes, lips parted in a smile revealing very white teeth. .. He read it all—the story of Hand-

ferred a natural shade.

IFTEEN minutes later he was saying, “Donna, please humor me. I Know I sound insane, but I want you to try to remember. Was there anything unusual about Molly? After death, I mean.”

“I don’t understand, Brent.” “Anything different.” Anything at all you may have noticed,” Brent urged gently. ¢ “It’s so hard to talk about. It doesn’t seem as though it could be true.” Donna’s voice was ‘choked with emotion. : “Yes,” Brent said in a low tone, “but try to remember.” ; “I noticed one thing particularly. We—they,” she shuddered. “Her shoes were so tight. It was a little difficult—" ’ “Much too tight?” “Yes. I—why do you ask?” “Donna, please! Was there anything else?” = _- = “Yes. Molly always liked the very best, of everything. Naturally, you know. The silk slip she had on was different. - Trimmed with lots of lace and the material was inexpensive.

Simple Dress

Held Best for Students’ Hair

BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff. Writer

: Easy-to-manage varieties of cur-

| rent hair modes are best for the

college girl. She will want her

| shining locks to be brushed upward

at the back and backward from her brow, of course, but she will want

| to be perfectly sure that the ar-

rangement from then on is casual and fresh-looking and simple to whisk into place. . If you want to go to college with your hair brushed upward and fixed in a roll that extends, coronet fashjon, all around your head (Parisiennes like this one), better have your hair cut quite short. Otherwise, yow’ll have too much trouble coaxing the long ends back into a roll. If you have had a fine permanent on the ends of your hair, why not a glorified version of your old favorite, the windblown bob? - If you cut bangs, do have them start quite far back from the forehead, get them permanently waved and wear them fluffy, in the Katharine Hepburn manner. Right now is the perfect time in your life for you to study your features and neck as well as the texture and thickness of your hair. The coiffure that doesn’t frame the face in flattering manner, makes the neck look long and slender, but not too long and certainly not skinny, isn’t worth the trouble it takes to have it fixed. Furthermore, ‘you ought to start wearing your hair the new way several weeks before you take the train to college. This way, you allow yourself time to get used to the feel of it and to learn how to care for it.

make too much of children’s mistakes. Children are impulsive, : So, of course, they will make blunders.

1 heard a man who has done as much in a lifetime exclaim in disgust over a lazy neighbor:

how to do it better. At any rate, why do we parents jump down their . throats the way we do when the impulses that urge them are no more represensible half the time than the mistakes we make oure selves? The difference is that we judge them by adult standards instead of the natural standards of growing childhood. Con

Some Scold Too Much This has to be regarded as something removed from discipline and training, which are necessary, too. But discipline and especially traing ing are not made up of constant harping and criticism, if they are the real thing, but rather a per-

sistent ‘and “steady conditidning to

morals and behavior. Fault-finding

is not only the small end of discipline, but in a dozen ways may defeat it. : The child who is naturally age gressive and, as we say, always in hot water, gets the feeling that he is always in disrepute with his family. He goes to sleep and gets up with the idea that he is a bad boy. He may be cheerful enough about it, but there is a tight place in his body that never goes away. A sensation of being different from everybody else in the house. He couldn’t tell you about it if he tried.- All he knows is that he lives in a perpetual shadow of wrongness. He never expects to be right or to be praised.

Always Have Excuses

With some more-sensitive or weaker-willed children an attitude of excuse results. They are so ace customed to being blamed for every« thing that their excuse is blurted out before they know just what it is they are blamed for. Others manufacture alibis and learn to lie glibly. Still others learn to be very, very good by giving up everything, including work. Spirits broken, or well bent, they follow the line of least resistance and move only when compelled by stronger wills or necessity. And often not then. The will to do things on one’s own responsibility is the one that makes the most mistakes. But it is the one that learns, that sometimes makes a dunce of himself, and a fool, but that some day

gets things done and done right. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)
