Asks Advice On Attitude Of Husband

Loving Mate Turns Cross When His Parents Visit Home.

Pul your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, whe will help yeu solve them by her answers in this column.

EAR JANE JORDAN—

I have a husband who is a good provider and we get along fine together except when his people come to visit us. His people are very nice and I like them, but I certainly don’t enjoy being humiliated in front of them. When they come I either don't have the right things to eat or they aren't cooked right. He will criticize the way I keep house, but as sure as I am living I am not a dirty or messy housekeeper, Why is it that a sheet of ice drops between us as soon as they enter the house? Luckily they don’t come very often, but if he didn’t act this way before them I would be glad to have them at any time. I am sure that there is nothing between me and them. His own mother told me if she were me she would be tempted to slap his face. If you can make anything out of this, you will be doing more than I can do. JUST ANOTHER READER. ANSWER—Of course I don't really know any more about his problem than you do and cannot speak with authority. All I can do is make a few guesses which may shoot wide of the mark. On the other hand they may at least give you a clue to the situation.

When a man is pleasant and agreeable except when his family comes to visit, our first thought is that the family gets on his nerves and makes him irritable. But if he is close to his wife we expect him to complain to her in private instead of finding fault with her for no good reason.

It must be that when the family arrives it throws the man back into some infantile situation unrecognized by him. At the background of every person's life lie circumstances half-forgotten, which he sometimes transfers to the adjustments of his marriage. Perhaps the arrival of the family in some way revives an infantile problem, It may be that on these occasions he resents the fact that he is no longer a child, happily dependent upon his mother. An old childish sense of insecurity is one of the reasons which drives men to browbeat their wives in a futile attempt to prove to themselves that they are the undisputed heads of their own households. Perhaps your husband picks on you in the vain hope of arousing his mother’s sympathy. If, in the past, she was inclined to side with him in family disagreements and arguments, he may strive to recapture the old pleasant fecling of having a perpetual friend at court, The fact that she sides with you instead would only add to his sense of injury and make him more peevish than ever. It is characteristic of human beings that they continually reach back into the past and yearn to repeat situations which gave pleasure. Many a man only regrets his marriage when his mother is near. Her presence reminds him of how much simpler life vas when he was a child at her knee. Now he has a child at his own knee and it makes him eross. Again may I remind you that these thoughts are net facts but only guesses gleaned from the experience of others. Somewhere along this path back into childhood lies the cause for your husband's petty behavior but I do not know exactly where any more than you do, JANE JORDAN,

Soap and Bath O1l Suggested Guests’ Gifts

Some of the most interesting beauty preparations in late summer displays make perfect gifts for the week-end hostess to whose home her friends have been flocking to keep cool. For instance, if your hostess has many house and afternoon bathing guests you may be sure that guestsize cakes of soap would make her happy. One excellent cosmetic firm puts out a box which contains eighteen diminutive cakes, lavender scented, Another features small egg-shaped cakes in a variety of odors. A huge bottle of bath oil, to keep by the tub so guests and members of the household alike can enjoy it without feeling that to use more than one drop is decidedly wasteful, is another sure-to-be-appreciated suggestion. You might consider a new bubble type which comes ih two colors, pine and eau de cologne. Also acceptable are the new giant sachets. One of these takes the place of *hree or four little perfumed bags between layers of clothes in a dresser drawer. If you haven't much to spend consider a good cologne in a rather plain bottle, There are de luxe varieties galore (and any hostess will jove a handsome bottle to add to her collection), but if these are too much for your budget, don’t hesi-

If Tanned, Use Medium Shade Of Nail Lacquer

By ALICIA HART (NEA Service Staff Writer)

Fashionables whose arms and hands are tanned a lovely toastbrown like medium shades of nail lacquer, especially the ones which show undertones of beige. The smartest fingertips at race tracks and on the beaches are covered with lacquer which harmonizes beautifully with darkish complexions and summer costume as well.

One manufacturer of nail enamel | | advocates a medium rose shade with

dark green, dark brown, blue, lighter greens and biege. This tone is light enough to appeal to the conservative, yet dark enough to make hands look more interestingly alive. With wine red, navy, French and grape blues, dark green, rose, thistle and purple, the same company recommends a rose taupe. This, as its name implies, is a dark rose with brownish undertones. And it really is beautiful with navy blue. It, too, is a happy compromise between flamboyant and pale pink shades. Most authorities agree that it is a very good idea to buff nails lightly before applying any kind of polish, - Active sportswomen should use cuticle cream or oil every night, of course. And oil manicures help to keep fingers soft and cuticle smooth. When old polish has been removed and nails whisked into shape (with an emery board, please—not a steel file), simply soak fingertips in warm olive oil instead of soapy water, then proceed in the usual manner with orange stick, polish and so forth. If your hair is unusually dry, better spray it with brilliantine before you go to the beach. Hot oil shampoos and nightly use of special tonics are other wonderful ideas.

Child’s Togs Need to Be Easy to Don

Stiff Clothes Should Be Buttoned Down Front, Claim.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

We dress our children more sensibly every year, it seems to me. The little snow-suits and skiing costumes are so comfortable and protective. Goloshes, necessary to supplement the low shoe, are indispensible to the outfit, and altogether the entire ensemble is admirable for exercise and warmth. But with due apologies to those who design and make clothes for the wee folk, I have a suggestion to offer. Why not keep an eye on the facility of adjustment, make it easier for the child to slip into his togs and save mother’s time, too? Getting Henry ready to go out for his airing is often a bout that leaves the child peevish and mother exhausted. For instance, why are not inflexible materials buttoned down the | front instead of, too-often, the pull- | over type? Dressing Tires Mother

"I watched a mother recently dress her small son for the street. I thought the child pretty tough to stand for the punishment of getting ready. He looked lovely when finished and as comfortable as an Eskimo in a bear skin. But mother was ready to lie down and so was I, watching. In a few minutes he was back. His leggins were slipping down. The rubber around his waist did not hold up. She put in a safety pin or two. “It will tear his suit,” she said, “but it’s the best I can do.” “Put on some buttons and get him suspenders,” I suggested. Which no doubt she has done. As it happened in this case, the lady was, herself partly to blame. The rigid snow-suit that nearly took off Henry's scalp, as she pulled it into place, was her choice because she liked that particular piece of plaid. She cpuld have gotten another style, one that zipped shut or one that buttoned; but they were not so becoming to Henry as this one. Purchase Guide Supply

She could have bought a onepiece suit for the little fellow, and there would have been no difficulty about the pants. When the powers that be find mothers going in for the comfortable and practical they will concentrate on these things without doubt. Demand always effects the “kind” of supply. When buying clothes or anything else for little children, the mother should keep two things in mind. “Are they easy to get on?” “Can Henry and Mary learn to manage for themselves?” Everything from crown to sole should be easy to don, to wear and to take off. Be sure that the goloshes snap easily and do not press into tender ankles, that harsh wool does not chafe tender necks and chins (if it does, sew a piece of silk inside.)

Avoid tight eaps. They should fit well but not leave a mark.

Hatters to New York Society Predict Topless Turban’s End

By FRANK T. FARRELL Times Special Writer “The boys,” who were paid fancy prices for trimming as much as they could off milady’s bonnet until they had things down to that last vestige of chapeau known as the topless turban, capriciously have taken a coms-

plete about-face,

“When we get through they will be paying us all over again to sew back more than we cut away,” says Mr. John, pouting.

Mr. John is in no small dither. As artistic partner in the firm of John-Frederics, Inc., custom hat makers, he feels he has a right to get wrought up about the way the topless turban has swept the land, spending its loveliness in promiscuity like a popular song. His challenge to the overwhelm=ing popularity of milady’s revealing summer headgear is, “We'll put the tops back on so tightly there won't be ventilation enough for a microbe to breathe.” John-Frederics, Inc., in the patois of Park Ave, is always “the boys,” John and Fred. John is John Harburger, who now legally signs his checks John Frederics. “Please do not call me Harburger,” he said. It cost me $50. It came out so often as ‘Hamburger’ I had it changed in court.” Fred is Pred Hirst, who doesn't seem to care much. He is the conservative, the reticent member of the firm, though he is given to flaming red cravats with his otherwise lumberjack-size apparel of subdued combination. Mr. John, as he is called, is the spokesman—a chipper, smooth, dark sort of person. His skin is dark, eyes deep brown and his black hair curly, but plastered back, retreating at the temples but bushy at the collar-line. “They are nice hands, are they not?” he asks, holding forth the delicate pair which twists and furls and stitches chapeaus for customers like Mrs. Harrison Williams, Marlene Dietrich, Mary Pickford and the Duchess of Windsor. They are the hands that created the Empress Eugenie, which thrived and died. They took a piece out of the crown for Florida consumption two years ago. They kept cutting from the crown, and now you see

self forced into a position by the defending side, in which he is morally certain the finesse will lose and must resort to the squeeze as the last hope of making his contract. This was the position in which South found himself in today's hand. West opened the ace of clubs to get a look at the dummy. East played the seven and West now shifted to hearts. This presented the immediate choice between a finesse, which appeared doomed, and a squeeze, which might succeed if Bast held both the club queen and the heart king. South played for the latter. He won the trick with the ace of hearts. Then he followed with four rounds of trumps. The ace and king of diamonds came next, followed by the last three trumps, and East was squeezed. Before playing to the last trump, he held the queen and 10 of clubs and the king of hearts. Dummy held the king and jack of clubs, while declarer held the heart jack and the club three. East dropped the club 10 and the last two tricks were won with

the king and jack of clubs. (Copyright, 1087. NEA Bervice, Inc.)

Miss Karstadt

Miss Mary Elizabeth Karstadt was honor guest at a bon voyage party given recently at the home of Miss Myra Jean Ross, 5168 Kenwood Ave. Miss Karstadt is to sail July 31 on the 8, 8, Pan American.

the net result everywhere you turn in the street. They sell accessories and unique favors. Lady Mendl recently went to the shop, which occupies the entire seventh floor of 501 Madison Ave. She wanted something individual in the gift line. “The boys” went into a huddle and came out holding a watch-or-key chain spelling in long thin letters the names of the guest to whom she wanted to make the presentations. “They were Lord Cavendish, the Duke of Windsor and ...” Mr. Fred Objects

Just then Mr. Fred entered the room. “Shush, tsk, tsk, her Ladyship would object,” he shushed. “I am sure that is a confidential matter. Oh, dear!” Mr. John looked serious until Mr. Fred was out of sight; then a devilish smile bit through. “You must not mind him; he is different from me,” he said. “He is a businessman. He has a good head. I am an artist. Marlene Dietrich bought 20 of those chains right after Lady Mendl. They cost about $300 apiece.” Then Mr. John flung all precaution to the wind. He opened the door of his workshop, called for pretty Frances MacDonall, his pet model, and tailored the type of hat John Frederics will indorse for late summer and early fall wearing. Hats Will Be Bigger It is a closed, receding, stovepipe affair, generally speaking. Turbans are out. Hats will be bigger. And a veil, somewhat reminiscent of the old touring duster, seems the motif in the way of hatbands. When a particularly good customer suggested that perhaps women might go without any hats late this summer in view of the trend toward more air for the hair, Ms. John was not alarmed by the fact that madame had seen a few bare heads in the swank Colony Restaurant at luncheon. “Tsk, tsk, never you mind,” he chided her daintily. “Wait until they get a look at the women in Russia. Communist + women don't wear hats, either.” Mr, John is mass conscious, While he professes no political tenets, he admits that once the public at large fancies a model the mass hatters of Bleecker St. kill the golden-egged goose for “the boys.” But with regard to whom he would beautify with his creations, he says, “Anyone who has the face, the figure and the money to pay for my art.” Some Hats $200 His “art” comes to about $45 ner hat ordinarily, but customers have been known to pay as high as $200. “We have no set price,” says Mr. John. “We fix our price on how pleased madame is with her purchase and on what material goes into it.” On the matter of materials “the boys toss just about everything into hats and make Madame like it. With a spool of thread here, a dainty touch there, a clasp, a band, a compliment and some gaudy tidbits of conversation about names around town, “the boys” manage to do a tidy business. The boys live, work and play together, and when they unite in action upon the carriage trade by way of the billing department there is always enough left over for a yacht, In winter they live in a spacious duplex apartment on E. 75th St., with maid, Japanese valet and chauffeur. For the summer they happily retire to an old mill house in Bedford Hills, where they entertain every week-end-—but only for artists. We hardly ever appear in public at night clubs,” says Mr. John, speaking for the wealthy enterprise which has zoomed to the heights in the last seven years with shops in Paris, Palm Beach, London, New York and Hollywood.

Abnormality, Of Kidneys Held Hazard

Patients Seldom Aware of Their Condition, Doctor Says,

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, American Medical Journal Sometimes people are born with kidneys that are not shaped like ordinary kidneys or which differ in other ways from the normal, They may have the two kidneys joined together in the shape of what is called a “horseshoe” kidney, They may have a kidney which is full of cavities containing fluid, known as cystic kidney. About one in 1800 persons may be born with only one kidney, Moreover, the tubes which pass from the kidneys to the bladder may be abnormal, There may be only one such tube passing from one kidney, the other kidney not having any, or there may be two tubes passing from one kidney.

Trouble First Sign

Ordinarily, people with abnormalities of the kidneys do not know about them until they begin to have trouble, In many instances when there is only one kidney it will do the work of both satisfactorily unless an infection arises. If this develops in the one kide ney, the danger to life is obviously great. It is, therefore, of the great - est importance for the doctor to know as soon as possible in such cases exactly what the situation is. This he finds out principally by the use of the X-ray. It is possible to inject fluids into the body and then to take an X-ray picture which will show quite definitely the shape, size and other structural conditions in the kidneys. It is possible to pass wires up through the bladder into the kidney. Until the doctor knows that thers are two kidneys present in the patient, he is hardly likely to undertake an operation for the removal of one,

Fat May Be Cured

From time to time, individuals, women particularly, have eomplained of suffering which is said to be associated with a floating kidney—that is to say, the kidney may move up and down and ace tually get out inte the abdomen, If the function is satisfactory there will be no symptoms. Sometimes, however, kinking of the tube which passes from the kidney to the bladder will occur, In such cases, there may be severe pain which is sometimes mistaken for that of appendicitis. In these cases the kidney may be caused to remain in place sometimes by the use of abdominal belts, sometimes by rest in bed with a diet so nue tritious that extra fat will form, this fat having the ability to hold the kidney in place. In case all of these measures fail, it is customary to do a surgical operation so that the kidney may be fastened where it belongs,
