DEAR JANE JORDAN—I wrote to you a few weeks ago about my husband. I think I worded my letter wrong as you advised me to 80 out with him. How can I when I was never asked? After I wrote you his youngest brother told me that my husband has been going with a young woman for three years, and he owned up to it. His brother says this woman is bad, but my husband says she loves only him and wants him to get a divorce, but he doesn't
. Want any,
He says he loves me and wants to live with me and doesn't love her. He thinks I ought to forget it and go on just the same. Do you believe I could trust him? He says this won't happen again, but if he runs to these dance halls like he has before, I feel it might lead to the same thing. He says he’s no good, but I know there is some good in him. He used to take such an interest in his home. He claims that when his health got bad he went haywire. Maybe you think I have not been a companion to him, but I have gone with him when he went fishing and hunting and climbed hill after hill to please him. My husband doesn’t want our boy to know about this woman. Well, he knows something is wrong and you can't keep everything from an 18-year-old boy. I don't want to turn the boy against his father. Would you give him another chance? He says he will support me even if I send him away, but I don't want him to. DISCOURAGED. = = = ” ” = Answer—You'd be perfectly miserable if you sent your husband away, dnd your son would be unhappy, too. Besides he doesn't want to go. What he has done doesn't seem half as serious to him as it does to you, and he can’t see why you would want to break up your home and destroy a relationship which has lasted more than 18 years because of it. Your husband is discouraged. He doesn’t feel well and sees old age approaching. He wanted to feel young again. It made him feel better to go to a dance hall and take a drink. You disapproved of this device for escaping one's troubles. In my last answer I told you that your disapproval accounted for the fact that he didn’t ask you and that if you tried to hide your feeling, you might be invited to go along. Nothing restores the faltering ego of a man like having a younger woman fall in love with him. Her infatuation makes him feel like a young man again. I doubt if she means any more to him than the drink or the dance hall. She's simply a symbol of his vanished youth, a temporary anesthetic to bring forgetfulness of dull reality. Reality is home, wife and the boy, but trouble has made home a gloomy place, his wife over-serious, the boy critical. Possibly he deserves to lose all he has built up because of one misstep, but I can’t see what you'd gain by it. You might get a temporary satisfaction out of punishing him, but you'd pay for it heavily in lorfeliness. Your son might stand by you, but in his heart he’d blame you for the break instead of his guilty father. It is characteristic of children, particularly of sons, that they expect their mothers to make things come right somehow. No matter how dificult the situation may be, Mother is expected to do something fine and wise to straighten it out. I think you should give him as many chances as he needs.
Lots of have difficulty in adjusting to middle age. : Sm : y JANE JORDAN.

The merit system is pretty serious business for League of Women Voters members, judging from the intent expressions on the faces of this trio as they took a “Merit Quiz” yesterday at the league's meeting jn the American United Life Building. Left to right, Mesdames Robert Loomis, Robert Speers and Thomas G. Sinclair, answered test questions. They were among a large number of the Indian-
Times Photo. apolis members who took the quiz just as other league groups throughout Indiana are doing to promote discussion and to increase general knowlegde of the merit system. The Misener Cup will be awarded the league having the most points. Results are to be tallied in the state office on percentage of members present, percentage participating and percentage of correct answers.

Stoles Are New
One of the newest fur fashion notes is the revival of the stole. The new stoles, however, are shaped to fit the shoulders, are handsomely lined and some have gold throat fastenings. Mink, sable, lynx and stone marten are importantly used. Stoles are equally attractive worn over plain suits, untrimmed cloth coats or street frocks.

Stocking Weight Important Factor
Women spend a fair-sized percentage of their clothes allowance on silk stockings. To be sure that you spend no more than is absolutely necessary it's important to select the right size and weight. For usual street wear a threethread hose is most satisfactory, four-thread for heavier wear and two-thread for evening. Select the leg size and length correct for your build. It's economical, too, to buy no less than three pair of the same color and weight at a time and to wash hose after each wearing in a mild suds, rinsing and drying carefully.
Cleaning Decorations Fruit and flower table decorations made entirely of glass can be cleaned by dipping in warm soapy water, rinsing in warm water, then dried with a lintless soft cloth.
