| DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 32 years ‘old and have ‘been married four years. My husband makes very ‘good money, has a new car and spends every penny on other women in taverns. He gives me only enough to buy food. He looks 100 per cent when he goes out but I have no clothes. I never get to go with him. He says he is ashamed of me. He beats his bills and never has told me the truth since I lived with him. ‘I love to dance and go and I do everything in this world to please him. I worked for him until I took sick and had to quit. Now all I ever hear is “get a job.” ‘He is chasing my own sister, spends every dime on her, takes her to dances and tells me he has no money. She has a husband much older than she, and he gets her any- . thing she wants, but still she has broken up my home. Her husband ' knows all about it. . It has come to a showdown where I just can’t stand it any longer with him. I see no: future ahead with him at all. I was married 15 years ago to a swell fellow but had the same problem—women and drink. Shall I go out and have a long talk with my sister, or just let him move, leaving me with the rent unpaid and no job? I never had any children. What shall I do? — WORRIED MIND. £ ¥ ” Answer—Your husband has given . you legal cause for divorce and if you're sure there is nothing left to build on, it is your privilege to wipe the slate clean and start over. You and Your sister must have|o _been rivals for a long, long time,|S dating far back into your childhood.. She is taking this means of evening up an old score. When and if you divorce your husband, my guess is that her affair with him will break up. Your husband's interest in your sister is ‘an aggression against you. It is more humiliating for you to lose him to her than toa stranger, and the situation gives both of them .an ugly - satisfaction. Just what you have done to incur -the enmity of those who should be closest ‘to ‘you 1 do‘mot know, but the fault is never one-sided. Wrong as they are, you cannot: be wholly blameless or you wouldn’t be in such a tangle.’ It is up to you to honestly face your own faults and try to correct them regardless of the conduct of others. This is the second time you have chosen an: unstable man ‘with a taste for taverns. When a woman makes the same mistake twice
r protected you inst its repetition, but it didn't. ow- for the second tithe you pay the price of bad judgment. - Will there be a third time? Perhaps if you would sit tight for @ while the trouble with your sister would iron itself out. In your place 1 would rather work than depend on a precarious living unwillingly offered by an unfaithful husband. The _ divorce can wait a while until you get on your feet. In the meantime, your honest effort to solve the situation in a reasonable manner may result in honest attitudes from your family. If not; there is nothing left ig to go on-alone.—JANE JORDAN

walls and woodwork are sparklingly clean, all marks of Junior's grubby little fingers removed. Some curtains may need washing. For the enlarged table that seats everyone from -little’ Billy to Grandpa, your largest tablecloth may need be laundered. - Does that sound like a tiring ‘program? are some little household hints that will make cleaning simpler, if you follow them carefully. Let’s start with floors and woodwork. For varnished wood surfaces, wash with a cloth or brush that is not too stiff, using warm suds made
from caked or flaked soap. Rinse
the soap off with clear water at once, dry the wood thoroughly, then polish with wax or any good floor polish. If your floors are waxed; wash them quickly with light lukewarm suds. After rinsing and drying with a soft cloth, rub fresh wax deep into the surface. The same methods are correct for washing baseboards, which should be done at the same time. Flaked soap suds will do for slightly soiled woodwork, but if it is heavily soiled it should be washed with a damp cloth rubbed over a bar of mild soap. Juways rinse the soap off at once, w only a small portion at a time. | and dry this portion before: Rinne on a Rew one— and don’t forget to work from the

A Neat Job. -
Thanksgiving day is now less than a week away and it’s about time that tne nead of the house
Marie Gifford, - who heads the kitchen service for Armour and Co. has the following pointers. to offer: Place the platter on a carving cloth in front of the host with the neck of the bird to the left and feet to the right. With a firm grasp on the fork, stick the tines deep. into the breast, just at the tip of the breast bone, to. keep the fowl firm on the platter. Step 1 (see drawing): Separate the leg and thigh from the nearest side, bending the thigh away from ‘the body so as to disclose the location of the joint before .cutting it free. Lay it onto the platter or a separate plate provided for the purpose. (2) ‘Separate the nearest wing inthe same manner cutting around the joint to disclose its locations. (3) Carve the breast meat in thin slices starting at the tip of the breast bone and cutting - down toward ‘the wing joint. (4) Now divide the thigh and leg and cut them into thinner lengthwise slices.’ When enough meat is carved to serve all guests once, serve the plates. Serve a piece of dark meat and a slice of white to each, along with a spoonful of dressing. For second servings, turn the platter and: cut from opposite side of bird. A chicken is carved in the same manner but the leg and thigh are left whole, rather than sliced. When the platter is removed from the table the carving cloth is also removed. This clears the table of crumbs and pieces which may have been dropped around the platter,
