~~ DEAR JANE JORDAN--My husband and I have been separated more than three years. We have a little girl. He just pays what the judge ordered him to pay for our support. My husband thinks I am old-fashioned because I don’t think beer taverns and dance halls are the place for a mother to go. Since we have been separated he has met a girl who will go any ‘place with him. Once in a while he comes back to see me. A time or two he said that he had hopes of our living together again some day. He usually is under the influence of liquor when .he comes to our house. He knows I am waiting there for him. . When I bring up ‘the subject of divorce he isn’t interested. ‘ Can I be a good mother and live the life my husband expects me to live? Do you “think my waiting is in vain? Can I win my husband back? PUZZLED.

Answer —I doubt very much if your husband- will undergo ' any © profound change of character at - this point. If you are waiting for a complete reformation in which he will become a sober and substantial citizen, devoted to his wife and child, then I am afraid that your waiting is in vain. Probably the best thing you can do is to drop your wishful thinking and accept the reality of your situation. If you could get a job and establisly your financial independence . you could afford to break away from your. husband, start a. new life for yourself. It would give you a new respect for yourself and more confidence in your ability to face the future one. You can’t spend your life | useless waiting for something which is not likely to occur. Scrape up all the courage you can and do something for yourself. SE JANE JORDAN.

Personally I shall miss and mourn the rich, if they become extinct. It seems to me ours will be a: very drab world without them, and monotonous, too, for we’ll have nobody to blameé' for cur’ own personal failures or our mass economic woes. * Ever since I was a little girl in the Indian terirtory, the rich have been a. great source of joy and entertainment for me.

I've had loads ‘of fun reading about the wealthy and their ways, and today hundreds of millions of others like me are constantly enter tained by their doings. Look at Mrs. Roosevelt, for example, and Gréta Garbo, and Doris Duke, and the Duchess of Windsor. They're famous, but they are also rich enough to get around a lot, so we lesser folk greedily desire accounts of their journeys, the
