peak JANE JORD AN—My husband has been going out evenings to various resorts. Most of the time he

took another woman with him. Recently he lost his job and since then he has had no money. and stayed at home. - He seems to be faithful to me. I'have an excellent position with enough, salary to support us both. Should I give him a home and

money to live on while_he looking for a job? Do you think that he will start going out again as soon as he has found a job or should I believe him when he says he has reformed? I love this man and want him to be a father our children can admire and respect when they grow up. Is this God's way of bringing my 2 husband to his senses, or. is he merely pretending to be good in order to have some place to stay? : BREADWINNER. ANSWER—Your letter reminds me of the old saying, would be.” I do not mifis to say that your husband is a devil, but only-thgt he is an opportunist. When independent ‘he .did as he pleased without regard for your feelings.” Now that he is dependent he has the good; genie and good taste not to bite the hand that feeds him. I do not think you can count on his reformation, however. . .

Jane Sordan -

. In spite of your well-founded doubt of the permanence of his reform, you hardly can kick the man when he is down. A husband .is not devoid of all value to his family simply because he is unfaithful to his wife. I do not defend his conduct, but merely say that one flaw doesn’t make a failure. If you see him through his difficulty without hurting his pride too much the chances are . he will be reasonably grateful and make it worth your while. For all 1 know he may be a model of, virtue from now on in, but it takes- more of an optimist than I am to believe it.

” n 5 n u = DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am 28 years old and have just moved to the city. 1 work entirely with men in an* occupation so exacting that little time or energy is left for the social side of life. Since I am a stranger in ‘the city I have met very few people. Where can I make contacts i my spare time in order to acquire a circle of friends cons genial “to my tastes and interests in life? I like to read good literature and spend most of my free time reading. Is there any group in this city. for young men where they can meet and discuss fine literature? : I am anxious to make friends. STUDIOUS STRANGER. ANSWER—I do not know of any private clubs but no doubt there are many circles in which you would be welcome. Since you _ are studious why not take some of the night courses offered by the Extension Division of Indiana University? The contacts you would make there might provide you with the kind of friends you wish

to make. : % JANE JORDAN.

“When the devil is sick the devil a monk

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS

Times Fashion Editor

MART femininity has gone high-hat this giddy season!

Stylists are

saying that the higher the crowns go, the smarter they grow!

Much is to be said of the fashion significance of this fall number (above), appropriately na me d “Fashion Peak,” since ‘it virtually “tells all” that you may expect of the new mode in millinery. In the first place, it is flatteringly feminine and will give you ‘those coveted inches in height. Its peak may do a sleight of hand trick and disappear if you wish to change its appearance. 2 #2 \ HE crown is variable and may be manipulated to suit varying

moods. This is a particularly thoughtful idea for the already tall woman who may crush or drape the crown rather than let the peak realize its full possibilities. One of its most important points

{is that it hugs the head-—peak or

no peak—and is a boon to women who have wearied of elastics. It is fashioned of two-toned velvet with grosgrain ribbon trim and is an especially desirable model to wear with large fur collars or fur scarfs.

HIGH CARDS

Today’s Contract Problem |

Wast opened the bidding with one diamond, North doubled, East injected a bid of one spade, and South. finally got the contract for .three no trump. The ‘first trick is won with the diamond king and the spade queen is led. What card should East play to this: trick, and why?

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY WM. E. M’'KENNEY, American Bridge League Secretary VERY person who has progressed beyond the primary stages of bridge realizes that dis-

tribution often is far more impor- .

tant than aces and kings. Void suits, and thus the power “to ruff, make aces and kings valueless in many hands. Often a’ player with tremendous offensive and defensive strength finds his kings and queens of no more worth than a handful of deuces and treys would have been. ; In today’s hand, South holds what some bridge players call “the deck.” By any’ high card count, he has a powerful hand, one so strong that he does not expect either opponent to enter the bid-

-. ding, and also so, powerful that he fears a pass by his partner. He

would have fared better if he had been a.little more pessimistic and opened with two no trump.

ably would defeat the contract, as there .was a chance that North held the heart ace and there were only two small trump in dummy to ruff losing clubs. However, his hopes of a set that would teach East his place and a proper respect for big hands was gone. He would have been satisfied with a set of one trick, after the loss of that first trick. But even that was not to be, it seemed. East cashed the ace of hearts, ‘entered dummy with the ace of clubs, discarded a club-on the king of hearts, ruffed a diamond in his own hand, and used both of dummy’s small trump to ruff his losing clubs. The declarer was generous after that, however, and made no effort ~ to shut out either the ace or queen of trump. Since these were the only tricks that South won, the , contract was made with one overtrick. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

HERE’S SUBSTITUTE FOR PIE AS DESSERT

Instead of going to the bother of baking pie on a hot day, compromise on a lovely dessert made with slices of canned fresh pineapple embellished with chopped mint.

It makes a fine: combination—

fresh mint leaves chopped as fine as possible, then sprinkled all over the wedges or slices of pineapple.

+: This is also something nice to

serve at cocktail time. If one is very fussy the pineapples may be cut in little sticks. Cut any way, the pieces are eaten from the fingers.

Preventing Egg Cracking

When boiling eggs, wet the shells

in cold water before putting them

up to boil and they will not crack, says Barbara Stanwyck, star of RKO Radio's “The Plough and the Stars.”

School Pupils Held Handicap

Don’t Weaken Child’s Own Power, Parents Are Advised.

(This: is the first of three articles on “Going to School.”)

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Mothers the world over: look forward to the day when school opens. The children are getting out of hand perhaps, orslazy and dull They make faces, of course, and talk about wishing. the . building would burn down before the fatal day when they must return, but after the first cold plunge they usually settle down as meek as mice and submit to being bossed again with something like a real thrill. The paradox comes in when the very mothers who have expressed themselves as being anxious for school routine to begin, develop over night a certain partisanship with their children against the

| erstwhile savior.

It. is not resentment over losing the company of their familjes, but

rather a worry about everything in |

general. Billy fs so hard to understand. Will the new teacher know

how to get him to work without| ~

making him stubborn Jessie is slow. Will Miss Brown understand that she can get lessons if she is allowed all the time she needs? These thoughts are natural in any mother, but there is only one thing to do. Stop feeling sorry for the youngsters. The minute we show sympathy to any one for anything, we are weakening his own power to fight. Fight, in the sense of normal courage in himself. If the child is ever to learn to stand .én hisown feet, it won’t be because of being caught on a cushion every time he comes down but because he will learn to manage himself better, ani thus avoid trouble, Traits Considered Considering everything, few children have more crossés to bear in school life than in family life. But in one they have fewer allowances and rope-stretching than the other. And naturally they make the most of it. Dawdling over, tasks, not finishing what they have begun, edging out of responsibilities are frequently condoned at home, but not in school with any success. Naturally there are character

| traits to be considered, and the

blanket-rule of school life is not so likely to take all these into account, because it can not. Yet, those very complexes and obsessions of the child are often fed on ‘too’ much sympathy. Unless there is serious cause for his failings| the chances are that impersonal handling will ~| be good for him. | : School Like Anyway, school is compulsions match th child, as a man, will have to brace himself for as long as he lives. Billy will have to learn some time that his will is not invincible; and Jessie, that she has to snap put of it and get things done on time. She might surprise herself and her family by her ability to think hard and act quickly when she has Except with very 1 ttle children, and even then in a degree, the swift change from home feathers to school husks, figuratively speaking, is a good one.

It is held firmly and by the end of the handle, with the index finger pointing down the back of the blade, Having cut off a morsel, the fork is trust through it, with prongs pointed downward and conveyed to the mouth with the left hand. A few pieces of meat may be cut and the knife laid aside so as to transfer the fork to the right hand. To zigzag the fork from left hand to right at nearly every mouthful is not acceptable. The fork should be held lightly petween the thumb and. the first finger with the handle resting against the second finger. It should not be. grasped tightly with the fingers completely surrounding it, or held in the fist when aiding the knife; ‘Toothpicks never are used or offered,

Indian Maidens Used Mud Packs and Vapor Baths

BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer

The longer the hair, the more attractive. an American Indian woman considered herself to be. She believed in clay packs, vapor baths and oil .for the scalp. . Her cosmetics were crude and a far

cry from modern beauty preparations, but they were us important to her as indelible lipstick is to the modern business woman. This information about the beauty routines of women of the red-skinned race that once ruled America has been dug up by Binnie Barnes, English-born stage and screen actress who is to be starred in “The Last of the Mohicans” and who naturally has great interest in the way Indians lived as well as the way they looked. It seems that the well-groomed Indian girl unbraided her hair several times a day, covered it with oil, then sat in the sun. As a result, it grew thick, long ‘and glossy. She never cut it unless she happened to be in mourning ‘and wanted to appear as ugly as possible. The mourning . period lasted until her hair grew long and luxurious again. Miss Barnes discovered that vapor baths were popular among Indian women. They made a cage of reeds and twigs, placed it over a huge vessel filled with water, then dropped red hot stones into the water. The bather simply sat in the steaming water. Afterwards, she wrapped herself in blankets.

Have Bowl Th Cold Before Filling It # With Greens.

By NEA Service : On a hot day nothing ‘is more & tempting than a crisp, well-chilled & salad, served in a big wooden bowl,

But crisp the salad must be, really chilled, if it is to be appetizing! Here's a trick that's worth knaqwing about salad-making. -Be sure to chill the bowl thoroughly before you fill it with the greens. You'll be surprised to see how long the salad stays cold if you do this. Second servings will be as appetizing as the first. If the bowl is wooden, so much the better, for wood holds just:

Combine mayonnaise with firmly whipped cream in thé proportion of four tablespoons whipped cream to one cup mayonnaise.

Hard-cooked eggs and tomatoes db their share toward making the ‘combination a success.

Stuffed Tomato Salad

Choose small tomatoes and allow two for each person to be served. Scald them for hot more .than 60 seconds and then dip into very cold water. The skins will slip off without cooking the tomatoes the least bit. Scoop out the centers and sprinkle the inside with salt. Invert - on a plate, cover and chill several hours. This salt treatment makes the flesh firm and luscious. Fill with the following salad mixture: Four hard-cooked eggs, 1 tablespoon caviar, 1 teaspoon pearl ; onions, shredded lettuce, head let« tuce, mayonnaise, stuffed olives. Separate yolks from whites -of eggs. Mash yolks and mix with mayonnaise to make very moist and fluffy. Add caviar, ohions and shredded lettuce.
