EAR J AN E JORDAN—I am 17 and have been married four months to a young man of 21. We got along all right until a week ago when he met a friend, a girl my age who is also married. She is very friendly toward my hus-
band. They dance together
all the time. When we are
at dances he forgets all about me, although I am a very sociable type. She is very friendly toward me and tells' me to think nothing of her
close friendship with my husband, He makes me a good living and he thinks
to her.
that he seems like a big brother
that is all that is necessary. He acts life he loves me at times, especially in front of his mother. He has told me that he is going to start going out by himself but he has never done so. I am considered - a good housekeeper and am always clean when he
comes home.
I have tried td} do my part. girl is a different type.
This She is not the type to be
married. He has told me that if I was like her, he wouldn't live with me, but yet he enjoys her company. Should I leave him, wait till he gets tired
of her or shall I go and do likewise? ANSWER: It is too late for me to lecture you

on the folly of getting married before you had
gained enough. knowledge to handle adult problems,
Now that: you
have undertaken the responsibilities of marriage you should not walk
out when the first difficulty presents itself.
It is a bad precedent to
establish, for we can not spend our lives in flight from that which
causes us displeasure. Neither can you control your
husband by “doing likewise.” It
is true that a man often feels a revival of love when he is about to
lose a woman.
-But when a young, inexperienced girl, motivated
solely by revenge, tries to outdo her husband in flirting, she only
succeeds in making matters worse.
Very likely your husband has women divided into two classes in
-his mind: playmates.
Those who make good wives and those who make good . I believe he has told you the gospel truth when he says
that if you were like the girl he flirts with he would not live with you. This 1s a rather typical masculine concept, born of the Victorian era when wives were considered too “precious” to be loved with gusto.
That earthly emotion was reserved marry.
for the girl whom men would not
You are right to mistrust the young woman's declarations of
friendship.
They are not sincere.
But since you can not attack
‘her without arousing your husband's opposition, about the best thing You can do is to conceal your feelings and not let your actions be
“predictable.
‘When you are at a dance, interest yourself in others and try to forget what your husband is doing.
In case you see fit
to take him to task about his behavior, keep your dignity. Most young wives weep and spill reproaches all over the place, whereas a calm statement of disapproval carries more weight than
many emotional scenes. you keep your poise.
I believe the whole thing will blow over if If it does not, train yourself in some occupation
. Where you can earn your own money. ~The independence you gain will -give you more assurance in handling other problems.

Culbertson Believes Bridge Safeguards Children’s Lives
BY ELIZABETH CARR
Teaeh children to play bridge. It’s a good accident preventive. This is the firm belief of Ely Culbertson, .bridge master.
He believes that if children, as young as 9 years, develop a sense of probabilities through bridge playing, the danger of their being hurt in traffic can be minimized. Mr. Culbertson who lectured last night at William H. Block Co. on ‘“‘How to Treat Critical Hands,” said his daughter, 8'2 years old, is to take up card playing next year. Any one can learn to play ‘contract bridge. That was Mr. Culbertson’s message to downhearted beginners. The same qualities which go toward

Misses Jeanne Bugbee, Retha Hogue and Dorothy Jane Lewis are to be hostesses tonight at a party in honor of Mrs. Charles Howland Bond. They are to entertain at * Miss Bugbee's home, 3466 Ken-wood-av. : Mrs. Bond, before her recent marriage, was Miss Alice June Holloway, daughter of Mrs. Alice G. Holloway. ; Guests in addition to the bride and her mother are to be Mesdames Robert S. Smith, S. James Doss, Charles W. Cook, James E. Fenner, Samuel M. Chase, Lawrence G. Cummins Jr. Lee Stout, Catherine Pyle, Misses Dorothy Groff, and Mary Beth King.

FALL HAT STYLES SHOWN AT OPENING
Feathered and furred hats, eliciting all the glamour of the new season, were shown today amid a setting of orchids, gardenias and lilies of the valley at the formal opening of the Wm. H. Block Co.'s French millinery salon. Society women who modeled daytime and evening hats throughout the day were Mesdames Robert Ferriday Jr. Henry Todd and David Stone and Miss Brownie Miskimen.
making a good housewife and a successful business man are part of the makeup necessary for a good contract player: Observation, concentration, logic and’ unlimited patience. From Auction Contract
“An auction bridge player can move into contract play in one sitting,” he said. “Of course, he would not be a very good contract player. For the first few days he is interested in contract, for the next few weeks, he feels he is an expert at it; but in five years, he’s not'so sure he knows anything about it. That comes from the more you know, the less you knew you know. “You may not agree with me, but next to love, bridge is America’s greatest indoor sport. There are 15,000,000 bridge players in America today, and incidentally, Indianapolis is one of the most bridge-conscious cities with ‘which I have come in contact.” Mr. Culbertson rates Mrs. Culbertson as a leading authority on contract, saying “In back of every successful man, in any field, there is a woman.” Big news In the bridge world
is Mr. Culbertson’s announcement:
that there will be no change in the Culbertson system in the next three or four years. “It has about reached its maximum development,” he said. “The pioneering stage is over and the age of standarization is here.”
Returns From _Abroad
He has just returned from abroad where he attended the organization of the International Bridge League. with 54 countries represented. The next world bridge championship is to be held in Budapest in 1937. “There is a very good chance that an Indianapolis team may participate,” he said. Amusing, Mr. Culbertson said, is the fact that .business men seek him not to ask the rule of eight or no trump bidding, “but to get me to tell them confidentally how, in the midst of a depression, I could
build a big industry out of a deck of | cards.” :

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS PROBLEM ; BY WILLIAM E. KENNEY’
American Bridge League Secretary \HE Culbertson System has settled on a jump overcall as a strength-showing bid which is not strong enough to be absolutely forcing. This applies only when the jump overcall is made at the level of two. West's jump overcall of two spades gave East the option of passing a weak hand, or keeping the bidding open with trump support or with about one honor trick. Having

When West ruffed the third round of clubs, he led to the jack of spades and finessed for the king of hearts. . West took another round of trumps, then the ace of hearts, and then ruffed a third heart with East’ s last trump. Since this dropped all the Rearis West's hand took the remaining tricks.

May Be Taught Child at Home
Repetition Viewed Best Way to Correct Grammar.
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Repetition is the secret of habit.
I believe this tobe responsible for repeated mistakes in
grammar. | The child learns to say “I seen” at
home and perhaps uses the term or one just as bad, some hundred times a day. Then at school he is taught that “I saw” is right. In school he writes it a few times and is corrected when he uses it orally, but this is not enough to offset the perpetual usage at home. Perhaps few children actually
‘| say “I seen” today, but the num-
ber who are really ungrammatical, if not illiterate, is appalling. Sometimes I wonder why schools don’t have some special way of defeating | this careless, and almost national, habit, It’s Up to Mothers Now it often happens that a mother knows her verbs and cases very well. She knows, for instance, that “He doesn’t” is right and “He don’t” is. wrong. But she, too, has become careless through the years, because her husband or the neighbors take ‘little stock in correct speaking. It goes either one way or the other; either the correct one donverts the other, or the incorrect one influences the erstwhile follower of good form. The trend is usually down, just as a shiftless character will take the finer one with it, So it is the woman of the family, as it usually is," who must try to elevate the whole general tenor of speech. Repetition -is the cure. Have Johnny, who persists in saying “he don’t” come right to your knee and say fifty times at a sitting, “he doesn’t,” “she doesn’t,” “it doesn’t.” Let him skip the “don’t” words such as “I dont,” “we don’t,” “they don’t,” during his exercises, because you want him to remember that only a few pronouns are followed by “doesn’t.” It must become second nature for him to choose the combination. It sounds hard, RQut it is as simple as can be.
Start on Child's Errors :
If he says “I seen” or anything like it, begin on that. Get after the glaring mistakes first. If he drops his “g's” and says “readin” put him through a course of “ings’s.” If He uses “ain't” for everything, try to make him say “are not” or “isn’t.” The word is used some places correctly as an abrevation, but it makes most people shiver, and rightly.
Get the pronouns sorted. If
Johnny insists on saying “him and
me went,” make him. say “he and I” dozens of times a day. One thing at a time. It is worth while to in revamping one wrong phrase of Johnny's. The whole family can drone the daily dozen together. Put a little fun into it. Demand small penalties for infractions. "Anything that helps the future senator to be his own man when he gets up ‘after dinner to adress a crowd of college presidents.

By NEA Service Is chocolate cake the frst | ‘ave orite with your family?" . It is, if yours is a strictly ortho ‘dox American household, representative of the nation as a whole. Ckico=late cake and apple pie—these are America’s preferred desserts, according to the food experts. Chocolate cake can be a freat, indeed. But, unless there is unusual unanimity in the home, one member, at least, is likely to vote for some other variety for instance, cocoanut. Among the chocolate cake devotees, too, there are differ~ ences of opinion, some preferring a dark cake and some a light cake with chocolate icing. To please all tastes, here are a variety of recipes.
