DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 29 years old and single. I am in love

and has three children. My mother doesn’t want me to keep company with him because he has been married. She thinks there is something better in store for me. She says I have to.choose between him and her. mother’s advice but now I don’t know what to do.

She is a widow and has done what every mother would do for

her in any way, but I am afraid

forgive me. He loves me and says he will do all in his power to make me happy. Do you think I'd make an awful mistake by marrying him? I hate to give him up. I love my mother, too, and I'd hate to hurt her but I do want to get married and have a home of my own. Please tell me what you think I ought to do.—~UNDECIDED.

os ” ” Answer—I do not know whether you should marry the man or not but I do think you should be the one to decide and not your mother. A woman of 29 has every right to marry if she wants to and it is not necessary for her to pick a man who suits her mother. It is wrong

for a mother to tell a daughter of any age that she must choose between her mother and the man she wants to marry. To face a mature womah of 29 with such an ultimatum is ridiculous. = There may be reasons why a marriage with this particular man is hazardous. The fact that he is divorced and has three children to support may well give you pause. If your mother had put ‘the facts up to you and allowed you to make up your own mind without threatening you with the loss of her love, we could respect her. But the way she puts it makes one suspect that she doesn’t want to part with her daughter at all, or that she is overly ambitious for you and sets a goal impossible to achieve. Look back ‘over the past. What has been her attitude toward men who were attentive to you? Was she encouraging in her attitude or did she drive them away by one method or another? -If you examine the facts very likely you will find a long history of maternal domination which has been most unfair to you. It is important that you break it whether you marry this particular man or not. After all your marriage is your own business and you do not need your mother to help you pick out a partner.

Sugar & Spice

And Other Things Nice Adequate for Cake-Baking.

By EMILY C. DAVIS Science Service Staff Writer .WASHINGTCN, Dec. 2.—There are plenty of spices and sweets available for America’s Christmas cake-baking this holiday season. But you may “go American” to some extent in your fruit cake mixing and the Department of Agriculture suggests featuring

watermelon rind, grapefruit and cranberry. \ Conveniently for United States’ spice supplies, major spice sources are tropical lands that still send us cargoes in spite of war. The bulk of our spices and seasonings are normally imported, commerce officials point out. Checking your fruit cake’s making: cinnamon is apt to come from Ceylon, India or Netherlands Indies. Cloves are mainly from Zanzibar and Pemba, British protectorate islands off the East African coast.. We get nut‘megs and mace from Netherlands Indies and British West Indies and from Spain when that country can send them. Latin America has been venturing ahead in growing some spice, but a good deal of the growing is what agriculturists call “exploratory.” ” 2 2

CITRON FROM MEDITERRANEAN countries may be scarcer in our shops and that is where Ameritan fruits step in. The Department of Agriculture suggests substituting for citron candied grapefruit or other citrus peels, or preserved watermelon rind, all ‘good and easily made at home. Maraschino cherries from Italy no longer reach America, but some are sent from Spain and we prepare some in this country. An American substitute is the candied cranberry. Federal food specialists say that cranberry, citrus and watermelon ingredients in cake are economical. As for nuts, molasses, dates and raisins for the cake, American ageioiiinre is supplying those, as. usual.

stronger, not weaker, after the war emergency,” he was to say in speaking on “Woman's Role in Democracy.” “Women will return home with a practical appreciation of their responsibilities as citizens and they will be better qualified to teach their children what it means to live in a democracy.” Dr. Wood was to concede, however, that there are “grave pitfalls ahead” for the American home. These include the growing army of nomad defense workers whose families live in camps and trailers, placing family life at a disadvantage; the scattering of families caused by removal of some to work in distant cities and the drafting

the postponement of marriages unavoidably resulting from opegation of the draft.

Consumer Aid Speaks

* “Some women,” he was to warn, “will be loath to return to ‘the humdrum of domestic existence’ and these must be made aware how vital is their work at home in building a strong. democracy.” “But I don’t believe the American home is doomed. It may be a new type of home, but women will continue to draw the blueprints.” Following a business meeting this morning, Miss Dorothy I. Cline, regional representative of the Consumer Division, Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply, talked on “The Consumer and Defense.” Her speech was followed by a 12:30. p. m. luncheon.

Pot Holders

By MRS. ANNE CABOT

-A pot of good hot tea and a plate of bread - and -bufter sandwiches will take on the air of a festive party if you have this colorful fivepetaled pansy potholder or the lovely black and white butterfly holder with which to grasp the handle of the hot teapot! They're both made of wool and crocheted in a jiffy. If you have some odds and ends of purple and violet wool for the pansy design, so much the better?! If not, a few cents worth of wool will make them both. Pansy holder is 7% inches big and is quickly made of five petals. The butterfly is made of a small amount of white wool and is edged in black (use another color for edging if you have left-overs of bright wool). The pansy can be used as a hot-plate mat if you like. Butterfly is just the right size tc vse when pouring tea or coffee. These are very handy little design patterns to have on hand to use up odds and ends of yarn and the holders make really lovely and inexpensive gifts. For complete crocheting direc-

holders (Pattern No. 5256) send 10 cents in coin, your name and address and the pattern number to Anne Cabot, The Indianapolis Times, 106 Seventh Ave., New York.
