JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 2a widow past 25. My husband passed away a few months ago. Recently I met 3 man who is rather a big shot and I have been going with him. He is married and I am urging him to get a divorce and marry me as he can give me the things I never had. I do not love him but I could be happy with the things he could provide. I never can love another man as I loved my husband. This big shot friend of mine deserted his wife when she was sick and she is making every effort to get him back. She is head over heels in love with him and is a rather fine, decent woman whom he treats as if she were poison ivy. They never had any trouble until he met me and left her. Now their business, home and everything is gone and he is driving a truck. He gives me all his money but I know that down in his heart he loves her and is ashamed to go back. I met him when he was drinking hard and caught him on the rebound and have hung on to him ever since, not because I love him but for what I can get out of him for my son and myself. Do vou think I should tell him that I do not love him and send him home to his wife or should I continue getting all I can and urging him to divorce her? If he marries me I am fixed for life as he makes good money and I get it all. T understand that his wife does not even have a home but must live with relatives and do housework. Of course I am above that as I wait tables in a tavern. Please tell me if you think I would be happy with this man. The only reason he will give for leaving his wife is that she is too old for him and very homely, although I have seen her pictures and she is nice-looking.—B. B.

Answer—Your letter does not have the ring of reality. It is not written from the viewpoint of one who wants advice, for no woman voluntarily besmirches herself as this writer has done. It sounds more like a letter written by an angry wife, or the friend of an angry wife, about the woman who has stolen her husband away. I believe that you have tried to imagine what the other woman is like and have written a letter causing her to expose herself for the pleasure of seeing her reviled in print. There are several inconsistencies in your letter. For one thing you say that the man drinks, that his business, home and everything else is gone, yet the woman would be fixed for life if she married him, This does not hold water, for such a man could not be sure of his job and no woman could depend upon him. Envy and jealousy is the keynote of your letter and I do not believe it was written by the other woman in the case at all. Even if I am mistaken I have no advice to give for such a selfconfessed reprobate would not take it. Life itself will impose more punishment than any reproof from me —JANE JORDAN,

GREEN CORN is one of the blessings of summer. In buying it, select ears with husks clinging smoothly. Do not buy husked corn at the market. Corn tastes far better if the husks are not removed until just before cooking. To cook, remove husks, cut off stem end and the tip and remove

all silk. Have a large kettle of boiling water ready, put in corn and cook only from 7 to 12 minutes, depending on size. Remove immediately. To cook corn off the cob, cut the kernels from cob with sharp knife, slicing downward. Then scrape over the surface again, removing the milk. Add milk to cut-off kernels. For each ear use 1 tablespoon butter. Melt butter in frying pan, turn in corn, and cook over very low heat until cooked. Stir frequently. Should cook from 10 to 12 minutes. Season to taste.

SNAP BEAN SUCCOTASH

Cook beans almost tender. To each cup of cooked beans, add 15 cup corn cut from cob and cooked as described above. Cook together until beans and corn are tender. Dot with butter liberally and season delicately.

CORN OYSTERS (Serves 4) One cup corn pulp, 1 egg, % cup bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 12 teaspoon salt, ¥% teaspoon sugar, pepper to taste, 12 teaspoon grated onion. Scrape corn from cob. Beat egg well, and add the scraped raw corn pulp. Add bread crumbs, melted butter, onion, sugar and seasoning. Have hot frying pan ready with melted bacon fat. Drop corn mix ture by teaspoon into hot fat. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Serve at once.

CORN PUDDING (Serves 4 to 6)

Two cups corn cut from cob, 3 eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 cup cream or top milk, 1 tablespoon melted bute ter, salt, pepper, 3. tablespoon suge ar, 1 teaspoon paprika, fine bread crumbs. : Beat eggs well. Add milk, cream, melted butter, corn and seasoning, Pour into greased casserole. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top and dust with paprika. Place casserole in pan of hot water.
