. Times Special Writer NEW YORK, May 20.—Probably the most lived-in looking rooms ever offered in a department store Qisplay ate those Lord & Taylor dedicates to the WIVES—that great army of American women. The new seriés of 10 rooms takes up. the major living problems war wives inherit—combining mother’s. boudoir with baby’s nursery; housing grandma comfortably in a niche of her own; converting the game room to a fix-it shop: turning the living. room ever to: the neighbors’ youngsters while their mothers work, yet keeping it a living room, anyway—somehow, We commend the decorators for realizing that toys are.aot going to stay neatly out of sight in their boxes. The solution is to plan the room’s arrangement so the toys will clutter in the right places. When grandma comes to stay she's used to having her own things around her—including her tea cozy and cookie jar, and possibly her tea table where she entertains the children—so she has been allowed to bring them. s & = a 4 4 THERE ARE SOME SPECIAL pieces worth keeping an eye out for on this 10-room tour—the beautiful corner cupboard and the old maple clock in the living reem-nursery; an old rocker beneh in the “office” where the war wife runs her farm; the writing desk that becomes a dressing table in the bed-living room; the old wooden knitting bow! on legs which we would proinptly rechristen as a standing salad bowl, and the big lazy-susan table in the dining room where the family can serve themselves with a twirl of the top. No maid, you

know. As a final guarantee that the decorators think in terms of people

rather than model rooms, they've made a place near the stove for Fido’s house, and you'll find his well-gnawed bone in the hallway. In the living room which a young war wife converts to sleeping quarters, too, a handsome canopied bed lives harmoniously with the piano, within walls of a heavenly shade of blue-pink. Note the spread on this bed, because its elegant quilted whiteness is fashioned from fabric that costs about $1 a yard. Just shows what you can do.

It is unfair of her to bring up the subject of divorce when you aren't home to defend yourself and, when you need a carefree mind to devote to the task of fighting. Cer-| tainly you were wrong to drink and |

wrong to run out with the boys, but! now is no time to bring that up. It can wait until after the war.

Your wife cannot get a divorce for the flimsy | reasons you quote. All you have to do is firmly refuse to consent to it. You've done all you can do. You have not only admitted your mistake, but corrected it. It won't help your case any to crawl. On the contrary, it is time to assert your rights as a husband and tell her that she cannot have a divorce un-

The maid shortage problem is nicely solved with a lazy-susan dining table. The family just serve themselves with a twirl of the top. Decorative wall cabinets keep everything handy, and a coffee corner is set up in this very pleasing big dining room.
