As they say, “A little “muthority certainly goes to some folks! ‘heads in a hurry.” And: ‘they - don’t like -the snooty ~ #ttitude of Mrs. Brown, who seems o think that her work is far superior to that of anyone else. Mrs. White is complaining, too. . “Ft seems she” thinks she wasn’t ¢treated very graciously when she _volunteered her services. She says, “If that’s the way they feel about it, they can get along without me.” . Of course, there are lots of women who are sticking to their knitting ~=and not getting their feelings hurt, or. hurting any feelings. But ‘the Bhair-pulling going on is what is _Bitracting attention.

Maria Kzum has an elegant one of this type, too. It is a deep purple kniited reefer, very hand-made-looking, with ‘brightest pink lining—a coat for sports, street and ‘evening. © Vera Maxwell has two other answers to the 24-hour question. One is a balmacaan, short and young and timely looking. Examples are a double-breasted chinchilla with. navy velveteen Collar and buttons, and a heathery Harris tweed. with. a wonderfully light, soft, warm lining of allrayon fleece. Miss Maxwell “also suggests a classic full-length casual for alltime wear. She makes one of red fleece, collarless, beltless, very slightly flared. This has a rayon bile lining that looks like: beaver. Box Silhouette -
One manufacturer offers a royal blue casual of straight and easy lines, deep raglan armholes, and hand-knitted collar and cuffs. The ‘hobnail-design’'knitting also forms a separate matching hood. All of which indicates the importance, this season, of the box silhouette. It is seen in all types and “in all ‘price brackets. ‘It is the favored over-the-suit coat. Sometimes it is tucked slightly at the waist-—for instance one manufacturer’s beige herringbone tweed, designed to be a good companion to a brown all-wool Shetland suit, though the two are sold separately. John Barr has a Chinese-mandarin-inspired tailored topcoat of this kind .. . new peacock green monotone tweed, straight Kleeves, slashes at the sides.

" DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am ‘19 years old, my husband is 22 and we have a baby girl., I love my husband svery much but almost every week he gambles his money away. I have thought about leaving him
and getting a job but I hate to miss taking care of my baby. We live with my mother and I have been trying to get my husband to move but he keeps putting it off. He makes $50 a week and last week he only gave me $8 to pay our board, our bills and buy the baby’s food and milk. .. That's all he had, for he had lost the rest of it gambling. If he ‘doesn’t quit soon I don’t know what I will do. We have been married three and a half years and have our own furniture. Help me if you can. WORRIED, 2 » ® Answer—The m o st important thing for you to do is to move to yourselves where your husband will have the full responsibility of keeping up his own home: As it is he has your mother to fall back on. If he cannot buy food for his wife and child, she won't let them starve. If he cannot pay the rent she will not kick his family out. The situation allows him te evade his responsibilities without paying the consequences of his failures. You and your mother should

to intrigue the housewife is packaged in hand-painted apothecary jars and bottles which she can reuse. These are authentic adaptations of priceless antiques in the historic Mercer apothecary shop, founded in Fredericksburg, Va., in 1760 by Dr. Hugh Mercer, general in the ‘con= tinental army and standard-bearer in the painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” Long after the delightfully scents ed contents are gone, the jars and bottles can be used about the household—as bottles: for witch hazel, mouth wash, oil, vinegar, as bud vases and lamp bases, to hold salt, pepper, spices, sugar, jam, cotton or even king-size cigarettes. The line includes cologne, toilet water, triple extract, talcum, dusting powder, bath essence and toilet soap.
Smelling Salts! | ANOTHER NEW ITEM in toiletries is a 1942 version of Grandma's smelling salts. The manufacturer calls it an “olfactory cocktail.” It isn’t the take-the-top-off-your-head salts that brought Grandma out of

years to pull his salary up to $50 a week and hence has the attitude that money comes" easily, A- person who gambles is lured by the hope of getting something for nothing. Like a child, your husband still believes in magic, and expects his life to be given to him. He doesn’t expect to lose; he expects to win, to be a big shot without working for it. When contrary to his ‘expectation he loses, then he plays- on to recoup: his losses always in the ‘infantile belief that his luck will change. One almast could guess that your husband bad not been encouraged to carry responsibility as a child. Now he finds himself a man who never has outgrown his childish attitudes and expectations. Whatever you do to awaken pride in his ability to support a home and family better than most young men of his age, will do more to cure him, of gambling than all the reproaches in the world. That is, to be grown
