DEAR JANE JORDAN—My hus- «. band and I are a very young mar- : ried couple and I haven't yet got over the idea of romance. We have one baby and are expecting . another in November. My husband works nights from four in the afternoon- until 12 at night; so I only get to see him four hours out of

He doesn’t want to spend his time with me upstairs but goes to

. hobbies. I feel neglected and we argue because he spends so much time with his hobbies instead of with me. Do you think he still loves me? ‘ He is very good to me and the

“ and gives me all his pay to spend as I see fit; yet he neglects me as far as love and kisses are concerned. How can I handle him without losing my temper so much? I love him very much and want to be with him every hour. You

“fore we were married. Now I ‘am trusting you again. . NEGLECTED. » % Answer—I don't think you're neglected at all. You are an exceptionally lucky girl to have ja husband who likes to stay home and who has something to occupy his time so that he does not have to find his diversion outside the family. You must not be jealous but should regard them as a great asset + to your home life, a sane and sensible outlet for your husband’s _ energies. * No man living is going to make Jove to his wife continuously after - geveral years of marriage. You must face the fact that the period of courtship is over and must be replaced with other satisfactions. - Among these satisfactions is the joy of building - a home together and making it a center for all your in- : terests. "The more interests you share in " eommon the happier your life will ' be. Couples who have only each other to love quickly become satis- . fled, but those who love many, things together keep their relationship ‘alive, "I am afraid that you require more . affection than it is possible for you fo get. You have a childish need to be petted but now that you are a woman, you must learn to get along “with less petting. This does not ‘mean that you never will have ex“pressions of - affection . from your . husband, but just that you can get - along with less if you try.

DON'T think that the office of price administration is getting any joy out of the prospect of cutting down your daily consumption of coffee. Rationing, which begins Nov. 28, means a lot of extra work for an already- busy department. One OPA headache arises from the “wise guys” who stocked up before sugar rationing commenced. These persons were deprived of ration books until their hoard of sugar was used up. Many of them still are without ration books, so OPA must now devise a method for doling out coffee ration cards to them. ' Hoarders likely will get these ration books minus sugar coupons— provided they haven't also stocked up on coffee. Another OPA problem is that of instant pulverized coffee, which so far hasn't come under the rationing rule. Ground coffee, of course, is to be rationed by the pound. But the instant variety, which is more concentrated and lighter in weight, will have to be distributed by some other method. OPA also’ will have some sort of enforcement law to make sure that sugar ration cards for children under 15 aren’t used to obtain coffee.

Minus Nail Polish THERE'S one shortage that is a cinch to be welcomed by the average American husband. That's the shortage of nail polish. Nitrocellulose and acetone, its basic ingredients, are highly critical materials needed for war production—so col-

HOUSEWIVES might place OPA’s new shopping card for nylon hose under the plate of the household's male member if they have inside information that the man of the house may be starting his Christmas shopping early. These cards will list the new ceiling prices on all types of nylons.

IN THE VERNACULAR of the Pennsylvania, , Mennonites, “Papa Is All” means that Papa “doesn’t live here any more”—in short, that Papa is a defunct individual. When Jessie Royce Landis appears in the role of Mama in “Papa Is All,” which opened last night at the English theater, “glamour is all,” too. Miss Landis, before each performance, parks glamour in her dressing room along with “her street garb.

The role of Mama requires her transformation into a gray-haired Mennonite matron who, in accordance with the Mennonite sect’s more - than - a - century-old customs, wears long, plain. dresses of brown, black or gray, with caps or hooded bonnets. Miss Landis does a thorough job of the transformation. First she brushes her own auburn tresses atop her head, then, with brush and grease paint, she sketches the wrinkles and shadows that add the 20 or more years required by ‘her role. Binding back her hair, she dons a gray, bun-in-the-back wig and a cap. Then, because a good actress is a stickler for detail, she paints her hands to simulate the veined, red-knuckled appearance of age, ” ® ”

FOR THE WHOLE New York theatrical season last winter, “glamour was all” for Miss Landis —and she grew a little tired of it. She was afraid people might forget what she ‘really looked like. It was her first character part and, “I was tired of that old woman makeup,” she ‘says. “I wanted ‘to be a glamorous heroine again.” So, as a change this summer from Mama, she played glamorous roles in several summer theater productions, got the yen out of her system, and now is deep in her second season with “Papa Is All” “I've never had so much fun in

The Theater Guild company went to Lancaster, Pa., t8 “soak up” local color and to learn something about the Mennonites. They didn’t learn much, Miss Landis feared. The deeply religious Mennonites came from central Europe to Pennsylvania because they wanted to be left alone, and apparently they still like: being left alone. They frown upon new mechanical inventions’ and cling to their somber dress and old, independent customs, : ” ” ”

THE BELMONT OFFICE IS OVER-CROWDED WITH CALLS

Lb Fast service on every Belmont call isn’t possible now. Many of them will be handled as rapidly as ever, but fiot all. In the Belmont area are many of the city’s’war plants, an army base and air field, and big new housing developments. This is where Indianapolis is getting in some of its best licks against the enemy and that’s the very reason why the Belmont telephone office is over-crowded with calls.

Frankly, there isn’t very much that the Tele-

phone Company can do to relieve the congestion.

Mose and more calls are being made and we

don’t have and can’t get the facilities it takes to

handle them all with peacetime speed. Matefials

for telephone equipment, such

as copper, are go-

ing into guns and ammunition, tanks and ships.

That’s where those materials

will do the most

good for all of us. For the present, the existing lines and equipment must carry the load.

USE YOUR

Y Try to make at least one less call a day. Every social call you don’t make eases the heavy burden on overloaded facilities.

% Keep your telephone conversations as brief as -possible. Explain to the youngsters that they, too, should use the telephone sparingly in wartime.

TELEPHONE SPARINGLY

The telephone is of vital importance in the war effort. Although your own line may never be used for a military or a war production message, remember that every call you make must pass through central office equipment, and therefore uses facilities which may be urgently needed for war calls.

'% Please don’t ask the Information operators for numbers you can find in the telephone book. Always consult your directory before calling.

% If you have party-line service, be a good telephone

neighbor. Sharing the line will other fellow to better service.
