On Marriage And Her Job

Employed Girl Told She Should Not Make ‘Leaner’ of Fiance.

Jane Jordan will study your problems for you and answer your letters in this column each day

p= JANE . JORDAN — While I lived in Chicago I met a young man. We are

both 82. Then 1 was sent

here to take a good job. We have corresponded for three years and he wants to marry me. A year ago he had a good job but was in a serious accident and had a skull fracture which endangered his sanity for a while. He has com pletely recovered except that his memory and mind do not work so keenly as before the accident. 4 He has another job which entails long hours, a great deal of responsibility and mental strain. His doctor advises him to find a job with less strain in case this one doesn’t work out all right. My work is very enjoyable and the salary good. There neither long hours, mental strain nor rush connected with it. My prob- . lem is whether I should go to Chi-

cago and try to get along on my fiance’s small salary until I can

find a job or have him come here and take a chance of finding congenial work. I really prefer it here but hesitate to ask him to come as it may be impossible for him to find anything. | It sounds as if I am selfishly looking after my own job but I do not mean it that way. If I go to Chicago and have to travel a distance to and from work, I would find the housework and cooking for us a burden whereas here it is just good exercise after sitting at a desk all day. A READER. ANSWER—I ldo not think you should make the decision at all or influence the young man one way

or the other. I|do think you should wait to marry until the young man gets on his feet physically and financially with a job that pays] enough to carry you both in case of | emergency. It is all very well for you to help out by working, but if yours is the job which carries the family and his is the job which pieces out the income, the situation will add to the strain instead of relieving it. Most men prefer to be the backbone of their own families. When the wife is more secure in her job than her husband is in his, it is a severe blow to masculine pride. In time the wife comes to feel a subtle disrespect for her husband because he is not as strong a character as she is. His position as leader, conqueror and provider is threatened by the efficiency of his wife. In such cases the happiness of both parties is threatened. From your letter I can tell that you are a brisk, decisive person who | shoulders responsibility well.” You | are inclined to take hold of a dilemma by both horns and manage things by yourself. The man’s accident and. consequent struggle for readjustment appeal to your | strength. You feel protective toward him and want to be helptul.| These qualities are very fine indeed, but you will have to be careful that | you do not usurp your nusband’s | position. Let him be the leader. | Let him decide where you shall live. | Let him settle himself, here or in | Chicago, in a job which he can han- | dle. When a woman makes a leaner of her husband, it is a bad begin- | ning for a marriage. ! JANE JORDAN,

North rightly felt that these should justify a bid of six when South had so plainly shown his desires. The second club was won by South with a trump and the ace of trumps was cashed. To determine the trump distribution, South now led the queen of trumps and overtook with dummy’s king. Both op-

It's Mother Who Carries

| Home Woes

For Children’s Sake’; Husbands Escape.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“To be brave for the children's sake.” How many mothers have whispered this to themselves since time began: No home goes on eternally without trouble. Sometimes it comes with a crash, again it is the slow deadly pull against adversity of many kinds. Whatever form it takes, death, sickness, money-worries or someone's trying disposition, the mother tries not to let it affect her children too vitally. But what a terrible strain it is, to smile and keep going, to act as if everything was smooth and lovely with that load on her heart. It is easier to fight an enemy with arms than to wage war against this kind of thing that fights in the dark and against which there is ro defense. The real, soldier, man or woman, is the one ‘who endures and tries to. keep normal at the same time. There are more heroines among mothers than ever graced a stage. Father's Burden I say “mothers,” rather than fathers, not because men escape tragedy but because they can get out, away from ‘the family. Women must stay, and put on an act before the children, whose happiness they try to keep at a level. . The children, of course, may know about the worry. In many cases, they should, unless circumstances make the knowledge inadvisable. I believe that when the burden gets too heavy, a survey of what might have been or what other people are going through will so often make our own lot seem happier. Perhaps, then, we can smile for the children, and be a bit gay. Yes, not all unhappiness is hopeless. Much of it is not really tragedy at all. We must try to govern our own thoughts and hearts. and then not only the children will benefit, but -ourselves

as well. (Copyright. 1937. NEA Service, Inc.)

Polo Em Like Baked Cheese Dish

Athletes’ Pr Proferines Ar Discussed by Hotel Food Specialist.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Maybe it's really the food as much as the climate that makes California famous after all. Anye what state produces more big { athletic stars? William Parker in | charge of the “training table” for Ia multitude of golters and poloists— | the main dining room of the” big | Del Monte, Cal, hotel — confides \ what they like best to eat: | “Before a chukker of polo, they { will eat a club sandwich, butter- { milk, fresh pineapple, or again hot | consomme, baked cheese sandwich, | rasher [of bacon and prune pie.

+ That baked cheese sandwich seems

| to suit the sportsmen right to the ! spot. And their wives go for it, too. | The golfers eat a little lighter, I'd | say—something like this before a | round — Monterey sandabs, rolls, | coffee, fruit sherbet.” When you meet a Californian | who prefers to discuss food 'in- | stead of the climate, that's news.

Peas Favorite

“We have frggh peas, the sports= | men’s favors Yegetabie 365 days of the year jout here,” he boasts. Well, that’s [fairly moderate for a Californian, especially when followed with a | chicken hash hint. “You cut up raw potatoes in small pieces and cook them in chicken stock. Then use two parts chopped cooked chicken to one part cooked pota= toes. Flavor with a little onion and season to taste. Put in individual baking dishes and set in oven to brown. Garnish top with baked bananas and brown sauce. Serve very hot. “Oh, yes—that sandwich. Shouldn't really give away professional secrets you know. But—combine ground American cheese, eggs beaten slight-

Worcestershire sauce, mustard - sauce and salt. Spread on buttered toast. Leave as open-face sandwich and cook in hot oven or broiler 3 or 4 minutes, until cheese mixture has melted and browned slightly.” An=other nice thing about it, you don't have to play polo.
