dren of Difficulties.

Jane Jordan will help you with your problems by her answers to your letters in this column daily.

EAR JANE JORDAN—I have a beautiful home and children, but my husband just won't leave other women alone. As he has told me, he is weak. What can I do to help him? I like all Kinds of sports and try to be companionable but when he takes one of these spells no one can live with him. He wants his own way but doesn't want me to go out with other men. It worries me so when I talk to our son about those things. He says, “Daddy does ‘even worse than I do.” I'm afraid that our little girls will feel the same way the boy does as they grow up. Do you think it right. to take otheg women out and spend money on them and then ask the wife to save? I have tried to be a good sport in all things but one. I get tired of being hurt so many times.

LONESOME AND BLUE ANSWER—I wish- I “knew some easy answer to the. difficult question of how to make individual with a polygamous a into a wellbehaved, monogamous partner, but I do not. There are almost as, many causes for infidelity in marriage as there are men and women. In your case I know so little of the situation that I have no idea from which angle to attack the problem. There nearly always is an element of revenge #1 infidelity. The husband who strays usually has been made to feel inferior or unimportant by his wife. In seeking another conquest he proves to himself that he is 'still attractive and enjoys the unhappiness he causes. It is his way of proving that he is a big shot after all. The fact that he is careless enough to let his wife discover his new affair is evidence that he wants her to realize that she has . overlooked his charms. ‘Instead of seeing through his maneuver and spotting the childish motive underneath, the wife dwells on her injury hoping to make him feel more like a worm than ever. With a complete lack ' of poisé she shows him by her grief and fury exactly how successful he has been in his intent to hurt. If she has no financial means of her own, no training for earning her living, no understanding of the psychological implications of the situation, she is indeed caught in a trap from which one answer to one letter is powerless to release her. I do- think it is inexcusable for a father and mother to allow (children to know anything about their difficulties. There is no good reason why your son should have heard anything about his father’s behavior. Many times the mother tries to control the father by enlisting the children on her side. This is never justifiable and always reprehensible. I have never known a child who was not injured by

knowledge of his parents’ emotional |

disturbances. Even when they are carefully concealed the child feels something strange in the air, but at least he should be protected as much as possible.

I am afraid you enjoy your son's’

disapproval of his father because it emphasizes the man’s sins. You hope he will see the necessity of setting a good example for this son. Instead you only start your son off on the wrong foot. JANE JORDAN.

Beautity Hands - With Constant Care of Nails,

By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer

How to keep nails perfectly groomed and ‘cuticle neat and soft a~~ problems that a good many readers seem anxious to solve. The majority want to know ways and means to have alluringly attractive hands during the summer months when most of us go without gloves a good deal of the time. A weekly manicure is important, of course. If you have your nails done by a professional, do not let her use a clipper to snip off rough edges of cuticie or a steel instrument to push it back. Jagged edges should

scissors and unbroken areas never should be cut at all. If you push cuticle back with a towel each time you dry your hands and oil or cream it three times a week, it simply won’t show anyway. Dead skin which accumlates at the base of each nail ought to be removed with an orange: stick, wrapped in cotton which has been dipped in cuticle remover.

Regular Attention

Between regular manicures, nails need a certain amount of attention. One smart business woman uses an emery board to whisk nails into shape every other night. Twice a week she leaves oil on them while

changed the minute it shows signs of cracking, peeling or wearing off at the tip. As a result, her hands always are lovely. : T"o wear gloves when you are digging in the garden, trying to beautify the lawn, oiling screens or doing the daily dusting. If they are massaged with lotion _afterward, hands can stand water—even dishwater—but they simply will not stand dust. If you cannot wear gloves when dusting the furniture, do put soap under your nails. Dig them into a cake of toilet soap before you start to houseciean. When you wash afterward, all dirt will come out with the soap.

Furniture Can Make Background Pleasant

For very little money it is possible to get enough outdoor furniture to transform the backyard into a pleasant place to spend summer afternoons and evenings. Deck chairs and footrests and shade canopies, an iron table or two with chairs to match, pillows with waterproof covers and an inexpensive double chaise lounge or a swing are adequate. Insist that swing or chaise be covered with one of the new modern fabrics that are water and mildew proof and which the sun will not fade.

It Worries Liar.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON NEA Sérvice Staff Writer “James, why couldn't you have told me the truth in the first place? Why didn’t you say right out that you forgot to feed Sport? Then all

pened.”

The hungry dog had gone foraging and upset a garbage can. The neighbors sent for police who found Sport without his collar and license, and Sport had been impounded. Two dollars to get him out, an admonition to keep the dog at home and take care of him—thus ended James’ lie when he insisted that he had fed him well at noon. James said, “You'd -have told me I was careless. I didn‘t want you to say it again.” “See here, son. You have to learn to stand up and take the consequences of your carelessness. “The minute people begin to cringe before the truth, then they are almost worthless. The very essence of manliness is to learn to own up.” : Cites Bad Example

James was ashamed, and promised to do better, but after a bit he said suddenly, “Mother, Paul Jones cheats and lies all the time, The teacher thinks he’s just apple pie and so do most of the kids.. He’s

gest liar in school. I know because—" : And James went into details. “I'm sure his reputation can’t last very long,” said mother. “A few people know it know, and gradually others will lose faith in him. And some day he is going to wonder why he hasn't friends. Maybe

a- good lesson. “But listen to this, James. The it worries the person himself. Paul hasn't any self-respect. He can’t have. In his heart he knows he is mean and dishonest. He will not be able to look people squarely in the eye. And he is going to have to try to invent ways of getting people to think better of him than he does himself. “The busiest person on earth is the liar. He tells one. fib and has to invent half a dozen more tc make it seem true. After awhile he is relying on his memory to keep track of the tangle, and it

Price Is Too Great “It is not worth it, all the scheming and loss of self-respect. It makes slaves of people. It is so much better to say, ‘I can’t do it,’ than to steal a lesson, or say ‘I forgot,’ or ‘I didn’t look, or was careless,” instead: of inventing falsehoods. “Sometimes boys do things, knowing they are wrong, then depend on a deliberate lie to save them. This is almost the worst lie of all. The very worst kind of lying is the cooked-up story meant to hurt another person, without any excuse to hurt. To blame another is always mean, but to brand him deliberately is criminal. “James, my dear, you aren't that kind of a boy, but begin now with a clean slate and keep it clean. Learn to own up, to take what's coming and be a man. In fact, it’s just about all there is to being a man. It gives you a power over yourself that nothing else in the world can do.” Other mothers may profit by this little lecture, if a child is tempted

to fib. (Copyright, 1937. NEA Service, Inc.) —— eee

By WILLIAM E. M’KENNEY American Briage League Secretary ;

RIDGE writers often are too prone to emphasize the squeezes and end plays by which an apparently impossible contract is made, and do not put proper stress on the playing of a hand in which neither of these elements is presented. Today's hand is one in which there is no squeeze. Obviously there was no end play, for the declarer, doubled at five, took all 13 tricks. But the hand is worth studying be-

cause it shows how a master player copes ‘with the problems which arise in hand after hand at the bridge table.

The South player was Waldemar von Zedtwitz, captain of the team which recently won the National Masters’ team of four championship of the American Bridge League. When the opening lead was made, Von Zedtwitz, noted for his deliberate style of play, took 15 minutes to decide how he would play the hand, but, once decided, he played the cards with machine-like precision. For each play he made there was a reason, based on cold analysis. He won the opening lead with the spade ace and led the nine of hearts. He went right up with the ace in dummy, dropping East's king. He did not expect this result, but felt certain, because West had failed to double five hearts, that he did not hold that card. Next Mr. Von Zedtwitz led a low diamond to the ace and returned that suit at once, winning the second, trick with the king and ruffing ‘the third round of the suit. Now two rounds of trumps were taken, the second being won in dummy with the eight. Losing clubs, and spades were disposed of on the established diamonds. The student can gain much from a study of South's play and the accurate conclusions he drew from the bidding of his opponents, which enabled him to make seven, while still reasonably safe dn his contract of five.

Into Fun.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

A bride to be happy needs more

than a wedding ring.

She needs those little gadgets that make mealtime a joy instead of a chore. . If her young lord and master is: a waffle or pancake enthusiast,

then she certainly should find room in her hope chest for the new syrup dispenser. It's a gadget with a lever, which releases the syrup, honey, ketchup, salad dressing or whatever you -like, from the bottom. The glass globe sits peacefully in its holder when not in use, looking as tidy as a sleek house cat. It's easy to fill, too, and, of course, easy to handle.

» Even the fairest of brides may have to peel her own potatoes.

‘| Now comes the belle of the kitchen .| for such purposes, a little scraper

gadget - which follows the contour of potatogs and fruits and slices off a very thin peel. The fingers don’t get stained and it does not clog easily, so it' belongs with beauty and temper-saving things every bride deserves to have. Blade is of tempered #teel and the frame of duralumin. Costs very little. No love in a cottage can afford to neglect it. :

Slicing Your Beans

How many slices to a bean? All brides should know the answer. If your mathematics are not strong, provide your bridal kitchen with a new bean slicer and stringer. Yes, it actually does both those tiresome kitchen stints for you. You strike off ends of the bean on the outside edge of the top knife, then holding bean short, you push it through a cup-iike gadget and in a few shakes of the proverbial lamb’s tail, the five slices of one bean, long and thin, fall off. Very simple, and might be good fun, too. There’s a lot more to a roast than the cooking. Have you table control over that delicately browned chicken? If not, consult your local hardware salesman about the new roast clasp which enables young heads of the house to carve rather than hack the meat to pieces. This gadget looks not unlike a pair of ice tongs finished in polished chromium. It is held with either left or right hand and keeps the chicken or ham or leg of lamb fast in its grip while you make your social positon secure as a nifty carver. For supper parties, and in fact for all summer dining in a cottage built for two, the new Mitla pottery is something any bride will love. It comes from the state of Oaxaca in Mexico in tan and blue and other handsome color coms binations.
