MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1940 JANE JORDAN

! DEAR JANE JORDAN—We are married and in our late 30s. We have a son 15 years old. We have a business together where we work side by side. Recently my husband took up with one of the girls who works for us and was taking her places while I kept the

business going. . : and caught them together. Then I let the girl

1 found this out 80 but I am still holding my post down. Now. we are like two strangers, as her face haunts me all the time. I feel like I never can trust anyone again. I think he is still seeing her although he says not. I can’t believe one who has lied so many times. He still tries to please me in lots of ways but is not affectionate. ; .. 1 am that simple sort of person who likes to love and be loved, hut 1 guess I have failed somewhere along ‘the line. Sometimes I {eel like I would like to go away and forget this part of my life and start over, I have had chances to goeplaces with other men, one a prominent businessman, but I have not. I am still the woman my husband married. Give me your advice please, = UNDECIDED. i i a—— © . : .. Answer—There aie few persons who have not had the wish to wipe out the past and start over again. No one gets through life without suffering severe disappointments at some time or other. Loss of faith in one's married partner is among the bitterest of all disappointments, yet many have survived it without going to pieces, and lived happy, useful lives in spite of the blow. So can you. ~ Don't let your grief make you into & martyr. You've expressed your wrath and rage and discharged the girl from your employ, which is as it should be, Nobody expects you to turn the other cheek and smile at the pair who deceived you. A direct expression of one’s anger is better than super-civilized self-confrol which pushes back righteous wrath to smolder under cover,‘ feeding upon the self or creeping out in disguised form. But now that you've blown up and punished the offenders, let go. '" The worst thing you can do is to brood over the situation. You can't remain remote and distant, teary and sad. forever. As long + 88 you are so unapproachable your husband will comfort himself elsewhere. It must have wounded his pride considerably to be caught with the goods, like any petty thief. Doubtless he deserved it, but you can't keep him in a state of humiliation forever. Right or wrong, no man Will stand it without restoring his ego through the admifation of some other woman.

It has been sald that in & marital quarrel the person who has -

been injured should be the first to make peace because he has less guilt to defend. That is, it would be easier for you to make the first affectionate move because you're not the culprit. Perhaps your husband feels like a fool and must maintain the shreds of his dignity af any cost. He must justify himself by over-estimating the value of the girl instead of admitting that she was a passing fancy without deep significance. Try not to give her the advantage of being the only cheerful person to whom he can turn, Be friendlier and see what happens. JANE JORDAN.

slip-cover materials are enchanting ly fresh and gay and, at the sameé time, more practical than ever. In the third place, slip-cover designs are as varied as are individual pieces of furniture. And, lastly, not only do the new slip-covers give a house a highly desirable feeling of freshness and airiness but with them a woman can change the whole appearance of her home. Suppose, for instance, she is intrigued with the new Victorian mood in decoration. During the winter she has been able to do nothing about it. Her rug is an Oriental perhaps. : Her sofa and upholstered chairs are eighteenth-century English and covered in conventional damasks or velvets. Her draperies are in keeping, and much too fine to discard in favor

Now, if she covers her dignified Georgian. sofa in a solid-colored cotton fabric, and drapes around its base a Victorian swag in a gayly flowered chintz wide enough to provide three or four generous, flowing folds, she keys the roo:n to the new mode immediately.

But always, in their use, there's some little surpise. They may, when they come to the apron skirt, do a right-about-face and run horizontally from there to the floor. Or they may keep running verti-

side the provocative little corner kick-pleats. ~~ ' : In many of the smartest pieces being used this season stripes are combined with plain colors. It's a particularly good idea for a modern sectional sofa. Covered in a patterned material, it might, since it’s a big piece, be too confusing in effect. Done in a solid-color fabric, it (might easily be too dull. The combination of the two makes for a piece extremely new-looking and smart,

Apparently the most professional-looking details can be worked out easily with the new sewing machine attachments.
