EAR JANE . JORDAN—I am a married woman. My husband is 35 and we have a little girl. We have been married 11 years. always got along fairly well with my husband. He likes to drink and run around, but I have always Jone ‘with Nin "ss J; ike a quod time, too. He has always worked nights and I hardly ever go out any place as I don’t care for the shows and he doesn't want me to go to the dances without him. He used to be home Saturday nights, but now he has got so he goes out on Saturday afternoon and doesn’t come home until midnight and after. He says he is gambling. I never mistrusted him until recently. Now "he has done so many funny things JI Just can’t help it. I asked him if he had another woman and he said

Jane Jordan

no, but he does not treat me the |

same. I don’t know how to treat him to win -him back. Should I pretend I do not care or should I ask him to give the other woman up. I hate to leave him as I still care for him and I hate to leave on account of the baby. I think a girl needs a father and mother both. JUST BLUE. ANSWER—Some wandering husbands aré brought ‘into line by sa good scare staged by the wife, whereas others are driven farther away by opposition. Some are stirred by a show of indifférefice on the part of the wife and others are merely relieved. A great deal depends upon the temperament of the man and the strength of his affection for his wife, In the majority of cases a row only widens the rift. It takes a level-headed woman to hold her ground when first her marriage is threatened by a third party. Without forfeiting one ounce of her rights as a wife, the wise woman refuses to let hard words, vain tears and recriminations put distance between her and her husband at a time when their union already is shaky. The greater her self-esteem, the less howl she makes about a circumstance which may. pass if she pretends to be a little blind, The lower her own self-esteem, the more jealously-she guards-it with emotional scenes, tantrums and tears. She forgets that while she is behaving like a disappointed child and doing everything she knows to make her husband feel like & low down so and so, the other ‘woman is serene and smiling and makes him sure that he is misunderstood and unappreciated at home. Instead of swollen eyes and a red nose, she presents a : picture -with plenty of pink cheeks and ‘powder. : I know ‘of ‘no sure cure for your situation. I only know you can't help it ‘any by making yourself obnoxious ‘and: that you would be a

fool to walk out and turn your hus-|

band ‘over to the first woman who takes .a fancy to him. Do. not be idle: while ‘you walt for the stant ta blow ovet, but keep yourself inter- | ested in something. 1f you're interested yowre apt to be interesting. JANE JORDAN.
