EAR JANE JORDAN-—I

have been married seven | years. Now my husband has |

grown tired of me. The last | vear he has been running | with a wild crowd and coming

in at all hours with liquor on his ||

breath. If I say anything he raves | and calls me all kinds of names and says it is none of my business. Then he sulks for days and won't speak to me. He calls me grandma and oldfashioned because I don't drink or smoke or believe in such parties as | he goes to. We have two small | children who worship him, although | he will go for a week without | speaking a kind word to them. I| never go any place because I don't | have clothes and have to take the | children everywhere I do go. There is nothing cheap looking about his clothes or car, and he makes as much as the average working man. He could furnish a home in modern siyle, yet I have to wash my clothes on the board and our home is so shabby that I hate to have anyone come in, It isn’t from lack of work on my part. 1 don't see where I have failed for 1 love him dearly and do everything 1 can to please him. I have thought of taking the children and leaving, but I have no place to go and he says he won't give me but $5 a week. I know he is seeing a certain woman, but I hate to break up my home and take the children from their father. I'm afraid they will] blame me later. Besides I still love | him myself, but I can't put up with | this; so please help me. FORGOTTEN WIFE.

cause of it. Let us try to look at the situation from your husband's peint, for he isn’t happy either. He married a pretty girl for pleasure. If he had not believed it | would be pleasure he wouldn't | have married. The first thing he knew, what he had was a fretful wife worn down by child-bearing and tending, washing, ironing, slaving, The pleasure he expected disappeared with the reality of marriage. We think it is all his fault, but I wonder. Why did you let him do this to you? Why didn't you how! for clothes as good-looking as his? Why didn't you agitate for good times with your husband, and for somebody to sit with the children] while you played? This he would have understood where he does not understand your elderly viewpoint toward parties and pleasure. I am afraid you accepted your role of slave too willingly and took it for| granted that he would appreciate | vour devotion to duty, your self-| sacrifice, your reconciliation to dullness. Men aren't like that. Most of them want to have fun. After a hard day's work they want | pleasure and diversion, not more of the same with a weary woman. | Naturally after a strenuous day with two children you are not bent on frolicking, but you could have asked for some help with the | housework. Instead you grubbed | so that he could have a car, and | now somebody else rides in it. You give up pleasure too readily, | and look upon it as foolishness. | After all, it is an important part of | life, and you should have fought for | it. Ten to one you only cry. A more | selfish, demanding woman wouldn't | find herself out on a limb as vou | are at present. I don't mean that | you should turn into a harridan, but | I do think you need more backbone | in dealing with your husband. I do | think you've let your housework | overwhelm you until you've turned | into a domestic drudge. Above all, | don't scorn fun. Try to have some. JANE JORDAN.

Today’s Contract Problem

West has the contract for four spades. After winning the opening lead, he takes the club finesse, and then lays down the ace. Has South a chance to make an additional trick by his play to this trick?

Opener—@ 2. Solution in next issue.

Solution to Previous Problem By W. E. M'KENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary T does not pay to be greedy at the bridge table. The player who can see a sure set generaily is wise to take it, and not gamble for a greater one. In today’s hand, which was sent to me by Robert W. Wilkes, organist of St. Peter's Church, New York, the folly of trying for too much is aptly illustrated. West felt sure that his opponent could make four hearts, and made his bid with no idea of completing his contract. He was right; in fact, North and South might even make five if the defense slipped just the least bit. Due to South's effort to make the set what he considered worthwhile, however, West wound up by making a con-

| tract on which he could have been | defeated by two tricks.

The opening lead of the ace of hearts held the first trick. Another

| heart was won by South with the
