THERE'S GLAMOUR in gloves this season, and variety, too, in shape, fabric and color. There are flared gauntlets for tight-sleeved egats and suits, and Jong gloves that cover the arm to just above the elbow for the short-sleeved model that sets off your beauty for cocktail time,

short gloves, hand stitched, that go with tweedy, sports suits and there are dressier models, tight at the ‘wrists, but loose on the arms, for the bell-sleeved ensembles.

suited to your needs. As with any medicine, the-one that helped Aunt Mary or Cousin John may not be at all the one you. need. Vitamins arc used like medicines to cure defini'e ailments such as pelliugra, rickeis, scurvy, beriberi, certain kinds of neuritis, the skin and eye disorder called ariboflavinosis and to'prevent or check hemorrhage due to deficiency or poor absorption of vitamin K. Vitamin pills may also be ordered for sick persons who cannot eat a full normal diet and who therefore fail to get enough vitamins from. the natural food sources. fe HEALTHY PERSONS, most authorities agree, should get their vitamins from food. You will find that if your doctor does tell you to take & vitamin preparation, he will also, unless you are on some special diet, advise you to eat plenty of the vita-min-rich foods in addition to taking the vitamin pills. ‘The vitamin-

JANE J ORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young married woman of 19. I have been married for two years and have a baby nine months old. My husband is 24. He is in the habit of spending his weekly pay check by gambling and instead of paying bills. At first I used to fuss with him but it didn’t do any good. I tried talking it over with him nicely but he is not the type to talk to. Now I don’t say a thing’ to him. We are buying a home but I am afraid of losing it. He stays out until all hours of the morning and says he was with the boys. He says he loves me and admits he is wrong but can’t reform.
I always was quiet and never said much but it is pretty hard
to keep sweet all of the time, I know if I live with him I will have
- to suffer the rest of my life. He will never change as far as I can’
tell. I care for him but don’t want to live the way I am living. I: don’t want to be in doubt ‘all the time. a husband lives for today only and doesn’t think ahead. I am just the-o I've tried: to: think what to do but can’t make up’ my mind.
Answer—You are more mature than your husband fn spite of the fact that he is five years older than you. He still clings to the childish idea of getting something for nothing, whereas you know one must earn one’s way. He is irresponsible about his bills whereas you know they must be paid. Like a child, he is concerned only with the pleasures of the moment with no ability to renounce present gratifications’ in the interest of a more satisfactory future. However, you are not correct in assuming that he never wilt
change. Perhaps he will not, but it is only peshaps. I do not mean
that you can expect a magical change of heart but sooner or later : he is going to come up against hard reality which cannot be evade ed. There comes a time when bills cannot be put off any longer, when facts must be faced whether one likes them or not. It is his reaction to this circumstance which will decide whether he can reform or not. When the man is ¢ornered, when he no longer can fool himself or anybody else, ie may come to his senses. In the meantime all you can:do is keep him firmly face to face with facts. While fussing is futile, it also is futile to keep too still while bills go unpaid. It. is your right' and your duty not to let him lose sight of responsibilities which should be shouldered. When you have done this with all the firmness you can command, you have done all you can until the crash comes. Stand by him until you are sure that he cannot cope with the world as it is. In that case you have no one to depend on but yourself. JANE JORDAN.
