JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 32. My husband is 42. We have
been married four years. I do not love him. He does not:love me. ‘We are polite to each other and seldom quarrel, but our home is
devoid of love. ‘
Our marriage is one in name only because neither is attracted’
to the other. We have nothing in common. I do not enjoy his society and I believe he feels the same although both are foo polite
to admit it. Despite all this, he is not willing for me to get a
divorce. He refuses to leave and I have no money to do so. ” There is no other man, and so far, as I know, no other woman.
Do you know whether I can obtain temporary alimony just to tide
me over until I would be in a position to support myself and son by a former marriage? He earns a good salary but has no property or investments, and refuses to make any settlement on me or even to agree to a separation, only because of public opinion. - . I am growing old before my time because of my state of mind, and I am very nervous. My physician advises me to leave my husband and find other interests in life, but it is not easy to break up one’s home especially when one is penniless. to turn to for help. SOMNAMBULIST:
8 = = 2! a #
_ Answer—It would be best for you to see a lawyer about the legal aspects of your problem. I imagine you could get temporary support until your case came up in court, but even so what would you do when it was discontinued? : - Wouldn't -it be better to find employment first and get on your feet before you break up your home? Many women work and run a home at the same time. Since your husband is so enslaved by public opinion it might hurt his pride to have his wife work outside the home but he can’t prevent it if you are determined. I believe you would be more contented if you had a job. Work will not take the place of love forever, but it does give one a chance to compensate for failure in one field by success in another. An
occupation gives you a better outlet for the energies which now are
tearing you to pieces. Besides you would be moving toward a goal of eventual freedom from a loveless marriage. Few things are harder to bear than a complete deadlock in life. Any kind of action, if only a quarrel, brings a measure of relief from emotional tension. Yoy.and your husband are bending over backward to be polite in a situation charged with antagonism. If Jou aired your complaints against each other you might feel a little er. I cannot believe that your husband is any happier in such a dull marriage than you are. Action on your part surely would help to break his lethargic clinging to the conventions. Once he is accustomed to the idea he might welcome a break and be willing to help you get a start. I agree with your physician that it is better to find other interests in life than to live in complete loneliness by the side of an indifferent man. JANE JORDAN.

FOOD
THERE'S NOTHING so good as a jar of cookies and a pitcher of cold milk. That’s thought as good as Omar's loaf of bread and jug of wine, any day. But all this begins in the kitchen. Let’s make up a large batch of ice box cockies and fill them with different jams and jellies according to the flavoring used in the batch. Separate parts of the batch, and flavor the different parts with different extracts. It’s quite easy. Store your cookies in glass Jars, then wait for the apple tree urge. - :
2 = » ® » 2 HERE'S THE basic recipe for the cookies:
Ice Box Filled Cookies (Makes 48 cookies)
. 3%. cups sifted flour. : 1 teaspoon cream of tartar. 14 teaspoon soda. 1 teaspoon salt. 114 teaspoons allspice. 114 teaspoons cinnamon. 1 teaspoon nutmeg. : Sift flour once, measure, add cream of tartar, soda, salt, and spices, and sift together three times. Cream butter. Add sugar gradually, creaming after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with egg. Add vanilla or other flavoring. Divide dough into four parts. Shape into two-inch rolls. Wrap tightly in waxed paper. Chill overnight, or until ready to use. Slice into 3 inch slices. Place one half df these slices on ungreased cookie sheet. Put teaspoon orange marmalade in center of each slice and cover with another slice. Press edges together with small fork dipped in flour. Bake in hot oven (425 degrees F.) 12 to 15 minutes. Cook on cake rack. Store in covered jar.
8 8 = 8 #8 8
IF YOU FLAVOR the dough with lemon extract, instead of vanilla, fill with raspberry jam, apple butter or pineapple marmdlade. If you use orange extract instead of vanilla, these fillings are good: grape jam, red currant jelly, peach preserves. For cookies flavored with almond extract, use apricot marmalade, plum” jam. Black walnut extract used for flavoring suggests filling of orange marmalade, apricot marmalade or plum jam.

. PATTERN 986 LOVELY PRINT HAS NOVEL WAISTLINE
A truly well-designed dress keeps in the background and puts YOU in the foreground. In other words, a dress should be just a frame for your own personality. Claire Tilden nicely expresses this idea in Pattern 986. Notice how the front bodice, made in one simple piece, slimly extends to lower-than-usual, pointed seaming, with horizontal darts at the natural waist for trim fit. The easy-to-stitch panels at both the front and back skirt make for well-placed fullness without thickening your silhouette. Neat darts at the shoulders hold in ample bodice softness, and perky ribbon bows lend enchanting color accents. You'll want both the pointed neckline and the soft short sleeves crisply lace-trimmed are more to your taste. : Let a belt from the sides tie in back, or have it all-around and front-buckled. And do choose a gracefully flower or leaf-sprinkled crepe or cotton for this attractive
make up with the Sewing Guide's able help. Pattern 986 is cut in women’s sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 3% yards 39-inch fabric and 2 yards lace edging.

CHILDREN

To Give Review
WHEN THERE ARE TWO girls in a family near the same age one is almost sure to be either prettier or more engaging than the other. And unless parents are very careful, the pretty one or the one with sweet ways may, get more than her share of attention approval. It is so easy, without intention, to emphasize the attractiveness of one and the shyness and awkwardness of the other. 2 Some parents—loving both the same—still show their approval of the more attractive child by such remarks as, “Mary, it's too bad you haven't your sister’s good disposition.”—or “I wish you cared as much about the way you look as your sister.” After holding up one as an example to ‘the other for years—the parents are surprised when the less attractive daughter grows less and less attractive—instead of improving. The parents of daughters who are not equally pretty should see ‘that the plain child’s ego is built up just as much as the ego of her lovely looking sister. 2 8 a IF MARY HAS LOOKS and a way with her—Jane is certain to have her good points. And these the parents should look, for, and bring out. : Perhaps she is very intelligent, or has @ talent for drawing, for music —or takes to sports like a duck to water, She should be made to feel that what she has is every bit as important as what her sister has. And everything possible should be done to .improve her looks. If a permanent will give her confidence in herself, then she should have that. If dancing lessons won't wreck the family budget, she is, perhaps, the one who should have dancing lessons. Not the naturally graceful one. Parents should remember that it sometimes takes years—until a girl is a grown woman—for her to outgrow the sense of inferiority she felt
