NJ / DEAR JANE JORDAN-I have written you several times and you have helped me so much. I feel sure you can help again. I am a young woman just past 30 and have

20 years my senior, but the fact that he is older doesn’t make the least difference to me. He is a wonderful provider, buys me lovely clothes, wants me to have more help in the home and doesn’t go away without me. ; I am happy except for one thing. When we have guests for dinner he just sits and looks into the eyes of my women friends. He never says much, he just looks. If doesn’t seem to make, much difference whether they arg ugly or beautiful. We go to a large church and he will sit and look at one woman in the choir for a llong time; he just stares, He doesn’t pay any attention to me in front of guests and jt makes me feel bad. I sometimes think he would step out if he did go out more. I just feel like walking out. M. G.

Answer—As long as your husband does nothing but look at other women you have nothing to worry about. His attitude toward you is kindly and generous. Apparently he loves you very much, even though he still knows that other women exist and feels some curi-

|osity about them. Since he does

nothing about it, doesn’t it indicate that his relationship with you is more important to him than the adorning of his ego with ‘another conquest? On your part, you may exaggerate the importance of his observation of other women. , It may be that you over-react to its because it stirs an old feeling of insecurity in you which dates back to your childhood. The fact that you chose a man so much older than yourself sug-

‘| gests that you are in search of a

father substitute. You would like to ‘be his well-beloved only child and if he even looks at another you feel like running away. What you have in reality is a more mature relationship in which you must accept the faults of a man along with his virtues. Perhaps it will help you to regard yourself as a mature woman able to look after her own interests and able to meet the competition. After all you are past 30 and should have outgrown the childish need to have love lavished upon you continuously. Some risks’ exist in every relationship and one has to deal with them courage-

“Over there 24 years ago,” ex-|<

plains the | firm-featured blond Brigadier, “the doughnut was an emergency article. We put it together with whatever ingredients and kitchen equipment were at hand—it was a quickie, as they say about a movie. “But here, with our fine kitchens and good ingredients, of course we have cookies. . “A cookie takes a boy’s thoughts back to home and family like nothing else. And that’s one thing we're striving for. So I say, give them cookies. And see that they're homemade by mothers, sisters and sweethearts whenever pogsible.” As Ensign Helen Purviance, formerly of Huntington, Ind. she whipped up the first batch of doughnuts for A. E. F. members at Montier-Sur-Saulx, France, in August, 1917. It’s Cookies Everywhere In touch with Salvationists who operate 42 U. S. O. clubs in 26 states as part of the national inter-faith wartime welfare plan, Brigadier Purvianee has first-hand information ‘about what service recruits ask for. It’s cookies, she says, North, South, East, West. So she instituted the cookie jar in service men’s centers. Volunteer women’s committees in the camp areas keep them filled. Members operate on a schedule, supplying so-many dozens cookies on specified days. The cookies vary from place to place. In New England it's the

‘|| Boston cookie or the Cape Cod oat-

meal cookie. Maryland and Vir-

N ginia hold out for peanut cookies.

Farther south and in the West there are molasses cookies, “Maybe,” the Brigadier surmises, still looking ahead, “this war will give us a new symbol of American food—a new cookie of such satisfying taste and quality that word of it will pass around among the boys and it will attain lasting culinary fame. One thing I know. It will be more tempting than the doughnut.”

| Priorities Too Late to The Spring Fashion Picture; Block’s Salutes ‘Women at Work’

; By ROSEMARY REDDING There ate no drastic changes in women’s clothes this season. It was half expected what with all the talk of Uncle Sam reeding this and that material to use in the war effort. It is true, women will be feeling the pinch of priorities next fall but for the spring and summer, at least, they are to have the pretty clothes that are so dear to a woman’s heart. A

At least the fashions being paraded in Block’s shows this week would indicate that. Store employees were given a prevue last night and the show is being staged for the public at 2:30 and 5:45 p. m.

today ;and 5:45 p. m. tomorrow.

As Miss Frances Hawkes, the fashion director pointed out, “The

moment in time has come when

‘the hand that rocks the cradle’ also ‘serves’ the world. War brides, women in industry, professional women, civilian defense workers— each has a job to do. Block’s salutes ‘women at work’.” The show throughout was keyed to double duty lives; war work and the home for some and jobs and war work for others. Practicality

was the keynote. But anything

given up on side of sophistication and extra prettiness tipped the scales to the side of quality and brightness.

Color Is Riot

This is certainly a season for color, which should be placed right up there at the top among morale builders. | Navy, of course, is the spring color with plenty of those practical blacks with white touches. But more than ever before, color is riot—in an attractive way. The names of them even are colored by the way women are thinking. There are freedom blues, “all clear” red and Sam Brown tan and inspired by the “good neighbors” are Argentine | wheat, Chili bean brown, Panama straw and Peruvian pink.

The Suit’s the Thing

And there just isn’t any considering spring a suit season this year, it IS. Women in defense work will serve and live in suits. Fashion's therhe song for a long time has been a classic suit with two sets of accessories, one for spectator wear and another to dress it up. It is being sung louder and lustier with three, four and even five different sets to go with one basic suit. The serviceable gabardine seems to be first choice in fabrics with crepes for dressier suits. It is up to milady to choose between the long or short jacket but she prob-

Affect

ably will want a pleated skirt (or at least one with front fullness) to be in style. On Hand

Many of the suits shown last night were worn with the gauntlettype gloves worn over the suit cuff. The three-quarter length sleeve in the “dressy picture called for a glove length to meet the sleeve. The manufacturers of cotton gloves appear to have answered the American woman's cry for glove fabrics which approximate those lovely double-woven ones imported before the war. More than often, gloves, in those “luscious” South American colors, are THE accent for a costume. Coats and Dresses

Although coats and dresses appear to be running second to suits, there were several modeled in last night’s show. The dressy coats were fitted. One eye‘catcher was in “all clear” red corduroy worn with a navy felt hat, trimmed in red, copied from the commandos. Prints dominated the dress picture.

The Hat Picture

Miss Hawkes had these words for women head first in a whirl of activity: {There are clean-cut little caps for your functional suits; gay

little dabs of flowers,, feathers and veils for your morale-lifting moments; dashing felts with feathers for luncheon with a man in uniform and clouds of violets atop your curls for little dinners with men in the service.” And if violets stand for anything, they spell spring 1942 for they make whole hats, trim hats and “sprout” from suit lapels.

Bags Are Larger

Walk and save your fires seems to be the practice these days. This ‘means . sensible shoes. Low heels are on the march because they are more comfortable for hiking about. The emphasis is on polished calf. Calf shows up again in handbags in the bright as well as the dark colors. They are extra size with

extra compartments. Faille, patent,

Shades of 76

Four Hosiery Colors Will Be Life, Liberty, Pursuit, Happiness. : Times Special | ; WASHINGTON, Feb, 18.-- “Hence forth only four shades of hosiery will be permitted.” i So rules the War Production Board.

and corde are favored for dress. Lucite and metal are still touches but priorities may remove them before long. Metals seem, to be still available for jewelry with big bold . pins, set with colored stones, appearing frequently on lapels. Lopps of pearls and colored beads appear to grow even longer.

For Quick Changes

In line ‘with the stress piaced on accessories, Block’s fashion director pointed out, “Quick changes are such an important part of a busy woman's life that she keeps several fresh white and pastel collar and cuff sets at hand, Sometimes all she has time for is a rapid change from pique to crgandy and lace to take her from the office to dinner. White revers are much in demand because they make a dark tailored suit look fresh and feminine and immaculate dickeys re inseparable from sweaters.” For “off duty dalliance” were shown dinner dresses, invariably with that covered up look. The shirtwaister, long a daytime favorite, has moved right into the nighttime scene as well.

That's the picture on the clothes “front.”
