DEAR JANE JORDAN-—Do people ever outgrow a hatred that has grown on them for several years? My brother-in-law and mother-in-law .work together in dominating the family. My brother-in-law is my husband’s oldest brother and brags on how he outdoes someone else. His stock always grows faster than other stock and he brags about how he tamed his wife, His wife is 30 years old and still whines like a baby, ties ribbons in her hair and has no ideas of her own. No one likes her and when I am with her none of my friends comes around me. My husband doesn’t like his family’s ways, either, but when we separated over the lies they told he went to live with them. When my husband lost his job I got work and worked 12 to 15 hours a day. At night I was too tired to notice him and his family told him I was running around with the boss or I couldn't hold my job in that place. Then we separated and while he was living with his brother the family tried to keep him from coming to see me. Every evening he came, but told me not to tell for they would stop helping him financially. Finally he asked to come back, but told his family that I ran after him and begged him to. Now everything is O. K. with us. He buys everything for the home and is as happy as can be. He never goes around his people but they want to make up now. They tried to turn my husband against my relatives while we were separated. Now he likes them as well as he ever did. I am afraid of more family trouble if we make up with his people.—X. Y. Z.

Answer—It is the part of common sense to stay away from people who jeopardize your marriage just as long as you can. You needn't feel guilty about hating them for hate is a good. honest emotion which all of us feel for dangerous enemies. If your hushand is happy with you when his family does not interfere, and dissatisfied when they do, perhaps he will be able to resist the pressure which they bring to bear. Since he doesn’t like to be dominated it looks as if life would be simpler for him if he avoided them completely. However, if your husband becomes unhappy because of the rift between you and his family, you will have to do what you can to pehave with civilized courtesy, but you do not have to be on intimate terms with them at any time or put up with your brother-in-law’s wife. : There is a way to get along with people and still keep your distance. The trick is not to see them often and never to tell them anything. If you can keep your husband happy without contact with his people, it is your privilege to try. If you cannot, be as decent as you can and see them as seldom as possible, Aside from necessary: civilitles you do not have to pretend

Army Doctor Advises Sulphur ‘for Chiggers

Most practical for soldiers, he found, is a vanishing cream into which sulphur is mixed. Several vanishing creams were tried but the most satisfactory, he states, is one known as “Hazeline Snow.” The cream can be applied quickly, dries rapidly, and leaves

College Fashions
Today's college girl is no longer
time world.
That's the way Dorothy Darling of Block’s sums up the new phil0s0phy dominating the feminine student body. It's the preface to comments she will make tomorrow at 2:30 p. m. and at 5:45, Aug. 10, at fashion shows for coeds. “Fashion as such,” she goes on to add, “is merely incidental to her needs. But despite the de-emphasiz-ing of the social angle of college life, certain definite clothing problems remain.”
“what needs” the store has enlisted the aid of a group of college girls to serve as faculty advisers in its College of Fashion. Adding her observations. too, is Dean Kathleen, the Block’s representative who calls at DePauw, Indiana and Purdue at least once a month. The answers?
The Classics
Well, Dean Kathleen says: “No difference what is shown, girls will always go for skirts and sweaters. They are the backbone of the college wardrobe. And fortunately the wool rationing hasn't curtailed those items as yet. There are just as many pleated skirts as last year.” Deans of women, she reports, are still encouraging the feminine things for class wear but girls definitely want slacks for wear at the sorority house. Block’s is predicting popularity for the fascinator—yes, the same sort of thing grandmother wore. It
1is the successor to those wool scarfs
the coeds loved. Girls will wear the fascinators as head or shoulder shawls, made into turbans or as belts.
Dorothy Darling further rescribes a picture of the 1942 college girl: “She hoards corduroys and is passionate about plaids. She takes to her heart fashions long the perogative of masculinity—shirts, slacks, longie sweaters, lounge coats and toppers. Anklets More Popular
“with her boy friend in service, she puts on her best tailored suit, her feathered sports hat and treks to the O. A. Os camp. For this, she likes good looking tailored clothes, with cute gadgets for a feminine touch and lots of color.”
~ And about that question of hose, Dean Kathleen says the popularity of the anklet will soar to make up for the lack of silk and nylons. Knee length hose, she reports, just never “went over.” She says, too, girls will consider lisle hose only as a last resort—she’s heard them talk.
For teas and special dates, the velveteen suit with jeweled buttons appears destined for popularity. For evening, it looks like honors will go to taffeta. Combinations of this fabric in checks is often combined with velveteen to make a dress which does double duty for a dance With so many college men in the service, formal dances, etc., will be fewer and there are less of the formal type gowns for evening wear shown.

Cured Cancer
Patients Will Organize Club
The formation of a Cured Cancer club for Indiana has been announced by Mrs. Beryl Holland of Bloomington, state commander of the Women’s Field Army for the Control of Cancer. Mrs, Lucile Emerson of Indianapolis has been appointed director of the organization. Approximately 36,000 cases in the United States have been registered with the American College of Surgeons as having been cured of cancer for at least five years. These persons have formed a Cured Cancer club for the purpose of encouraging others to understand that with the proper treatment, taken in time, cancer is curable. In order to be a member, suitable evidence must be presented to show that the case was given the proper medical examination and treatment. The patient must have been cured for a period of five years with no recurrance of the disease. : The membership of the new organization is on a voluntary basis with no publicity attached to the names, Any person who can qualify and who wishes .to aid in the cancer education program should contact Mrs. Emerson at the cancer control = headquarters, Claypool hotel.

The Question ‘Box
Q—Where should the monograna be placed on large dinner napkins? A-If the napkins are to be folded so that the centers show, the mone ogram is placed in the exact centers if they are to be folded so that a corner shows the monogram should’ be placed in one of the corners.
Q—When selecting furniture, drae peries, etc, for a room, are there any general rules as to the come binations to use for the color scheme A—T1t is better decorating to cone fine the color scheme to three colors (1) a predominating color, (2) & contrasting color, (3) an accent cole or. Different shades of color may be used, but not too many different. colors. Have the rug and the largest piece of furniture ‘of the predome inating color. Use the contrasting color for the.next largest area, say a large arm chair; and the accent
color for the accessories. Select a good picture, or perhaps a piece of cretonne, done in colors that ape peal to you, and use this as the basis of your color scheme, Use the predominating colors of the picture or cretonne for the floor covering, walls and large furniture, and the contrasts (those that ape pear sparingly) for the accents— such as drapes, slip covers and small accessories,
Q—Please reprint the directions for the electrolysis method of cleaning silver.
A—Fill an enameled pan with water, in which dissolve one teas spoon of either washing soda of baking soda, and one teaspoon of salt to each quart of water. Heat’ this solution to the boiling point, put in several strips of aluminum or bright zinc, add the tarnished silver and boil. When the tarnish has disappeared, remove, rinse and dry the articles with a clean cloth,
Q—Do you think. that children should be allowed to talk or enter into the conversation at the dinner table? There is some disagrees . ment on this point among our friends and in our family.
A—Under no circumstances should children be allowed to monopolize the conversation. For times when guests are present, & child can be taught to stop eating, look at his mother, who will, when there is a pause in the conversas tion, ask him what he wants to say, When eating with the family, children should not only be allowed to enter into the conversation but should be encouraged to ‘do so. The art of interesting and easy table talk is acquired by the child in this way. Also, table conversae tion often improves the child's ape petite because, when interested in conversation, he eats without Teele. izing it. pf
Q—I have noticed in “books on etiquette that English household. servants are usually called by their last names. What is the proper. American custom?
A—It is true that in England ally servants are usually called by theielast names, but it is merely a mate ter of custom. In America a maid is usually called by her first name, a housekeeper is always called Bs, or Miss, as is a governess. Man servants may be called -hy. either
the last or first name, whichever one chooses.
