. PASS UP that second spoonful of coffee; put fresh fruits for their natural sweetness atop your morning cereal; have honey on your rapefruit for a change—then immediately deposit the sugar you saved in a “sugar bank” made from the Jar your real mayonnaise came in. It makes a game of the sugar shortage, and when your mayonnaise jar is filled to the brim with the sweet stuff, bake a special cake for a special event—one could go to the USO or to your favorite soldier at camp!

DEAR JANE JORDAN—We have been married for 15 years, and we have two children, a boy and a girl, now 12 and 14 years old. My husband has a good job, but does not make enough to keep up our present standard of living. He inherited some money and we have been dipping into it all these years to keep the children in private schools and to pay for other luxuries which we have enjoyed. Now the inheritance is gone and we must reduce our standard of living or go in debt. : My husband wishes to mortgage our home and borrow against his life insurance to keep going. He feels that it is necessary for him to keep up appearances in business in order to increase his earning capacity. He feels sure he will make enough money to pay back his debts. I want to reduce the expenses, do my own work and put the children in public school this fall. He feels that this would injure his prestige. His job calls for considerable entertaining and he thinks business would fall off if he failed to cultivate his contacts. I am not willing to gamble on this by going into debt. Which one of us is right? PLAIN JANE, » ” o Answer—Without doubt you have

your local sewing center to show|the common sense and practical

view of the situation. The mistake was made in the beginning when you geared your living above your husband’s income. The inheritance

flooring and ‘walls should remainishould have been saved for the shining and in good condition. Use|emergencies of life. Now it is gone a damp cloth wrung out of clear water for regular washing. If the

and you have no emergency fund.

Has this expenditure actually helped

your husband’s earning capacity or has it simply accustomed him to rovide for himself? P . The idea that one must live beyond his means in order to get more business simply does not hold water. It is the excuse which your husband puts up in order to avoid depriving himself of the extravagances which he loves. His view that if he spends more he can make more is not in accord with reality and it is a principle which he has not been able to prove during your 15 years of married life, The government is urging people not to go in debt and restricting eredit in order to prevent them from doing so. Everyone is economizing in order to meet taxes and buy bonds. A cut in your living expenses would not single you out for comment at this time at all. It is an experience common to all and requires no explanation to business friends and acquaintances, I doubt that so much entertaining is necessary in order to get business under present conditions, but if he thinks so you can do it in a simple fashion which is just as enjoyable to those whom you entertain. Persuade him to share in the common lot and reduce his standara of living. JANE JORDAN, *

Look at Eyes For a Key

To Makeup

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer IF YOURE INTERESTED in a facial filip to use this summer— and who isn’t, please?—it would be wise to investigate the new summer makeups. They're darker harmonies, to glorify your tan and your summer clothes. But, now more than ever, every woman should know her basic makeup colors, and equip her dressing table with them. And surprisingly few do know. In order to know YOUR colors, first study your face. Vaguely, you always have realized that your cheeks have red in them. But— what red? Some reds are almost purple, others are almost brown. Most colors are composed of several elements, the blended effect of which depends on the predominance of one or the other component. 3 ”» 2 A SIMPLE WAY to choose your makeup is to key it to your eyes. See what yours are—not merely

that theyre brown, for instance,|

but whether they are light brown with a strong yellow or green element in their composition. True brown eyes, which are not so common, invite brown tones in makeup. With these, you should have a winey or maroon shade of lipstick, and your eye-shadow should have brown or purplish tones just as your eyelids probably do when theyre shadowed naturally. ! Hazel eyes are flattered by warmer, clearer, purer red lipstick, and by Dutch blue or aquamarine tones in eye shadow. Green eyes, especially those that go with red

‘Second Fiddle’ To Man's Job

By RUTH MILLETT THERE IS one sure way for a woman to make other people feel sorry for her husband and that is to complain about his first love —whether it’s a hobby or his work. For the wife who resents a man’s enjoying himself doesn't look like any prize package herself.

Will Sponsor

" Proceeds of the party, to which members and friends of the club are invited, will go toward the purchase of a sewing machine for the organization’s Red Cross unit. Mrs. Claude T. Hoover is general chairman, assisted by the following directors: Mesdames William H. Hart, Ray B. Dorward, George E.

It's too bad women don’t realize how unbecoming is the “poor-m e-m y husband's = al=-ways-busy” role. If they did, there wouldn't be so many of them playing it for all it is worth. They don’t all play the role alike. Some wives concentrate on telling their troubles to Ruth Millett outsiders when their husbands are around to hear their complaints. Others do most of their complaining while visiting their women friends. A: few try to discourage a husband’s interest in a hobby or more than ordinary interest in his work by ridiculing it. They try to make him look silly to himself and to his friends. This is the meanest trick of all—and consequently makes the woman who tries it look even worse than the woman who pulls the “poor me” line. And, of course, there are the wives who harp on the social angle. The ones who tell you—and everybody else—how they never get to go anywhere or do anything because their husbands spend all their spare time at this or that.

” ” ” OF COURSE, there is such a thing as a husband being selfish about his work or his hobby—devoting all of his time to it, and saving none for companionship with his wife. But even then there's no use in a woman's trying to force a man

by nagging, feeling sorry for herself, or ridiculing his interests. All she accomplishes is to irritate her

into spending more time with her|

Make Soap Jelly

From Leftovers

“Save” is the housewife’s watchs word these days and soap comes in for its share of economy. If you live in a locality where the water

is hard, use a water softener and

dissolve it thoroughly before soap is added to solution. Be systematic, too, about using soap in your electric washer. Dis= cover ‘exactly how much you need to build a good, adequate suds and from then on, don’t guess, but measure your soap into the washer, Unwrap soap cakes and store them away in some warm, dry, ven= tilated place. Driedout soap goes = further. And don’t throw away little difficult-to-handle nubbins,’ Put them-in a jar and cover with hot water; they'll make a good soft-soap jelly. | |
