NEW YORK, Apr. 15—Three bellhops and the housekeeper were trying to wedge me into a fulldress suit the other day, down in Washington, and I got to thinking that no man alive has the right to lowrate a woman's fashion foibles so long as he submits to claw-hamimer coat: and biled shirt. The tailcoat and the cast-iron shirt front are outmoded as or, as non-functional as the vermiform a; , ‘and aboutasdomfortable as a hair tunic. Not one man in a thousand looks like anything but a strayed headwaiter in one of
waiters, except sheer venomous hate, I don’t care to look like ome. Any time I want to be a bandit I will.do it with a gun, However . . . After I had paid off the three bellboys and the housekeeper, I looked at me in the mirror, I was scrubbed and slicked and, between the bear's grease and shaving lotion, I smelled real high. I looked some more, and thought some more. This is a tirade on tails. wt I am tied‘into a shirt with a round razor for a collar-band, literally trussed into the thing from ‘behind, like you secure a baby to a chair or a lunatic into a strait-jacket. I am wearing a standup collar made of tempered steel, with the edges carefully filed, saw-fashion, the better to behead you: There is a cute little wedge chopped out of the front, for my chins to fall through. The general impression is that of a newly-manu-factured sausage, with the excess stuffing still hanging out of the tied end. ’ ah

WASHINGTON, Apr, 15—Federal® Reserveman Marriner 8. Eccles was glum, The world was in a mess for sure and getting messier by the minute. For hours he talked in this vein and if it hadn't been for Sen. Robert A. Taft, I think I would have wept. The gentleman from Ohio had one small, cheerful thought to lighten my own fiscal gloom. Pork chops still are for sale. The pessimistic Mr. Eccles said it looked like we'd have to keep on shipping billions to Europe to foil those Russians; like we'd need to spend billions more to get our Army to fight ‘em. And, said he, we simply haven't got that much money and, or, goods. The result; he continued, either will be such an Ee ha thas of Joioe: on 8 °e e time OPAs, OE I other alphabetical agencies designed to keep the law of supply and demand from leading to financial tragedy. “But that would be just like in Russia now,” protested Rep.

All but Senator Taft /
MR. ECOLES SAT there in the caucus room, staring through his tortoise-shell eyeglasses at the Committee. Most of the Senators and Representatives charged with keeping an eye on the financial affairs of the nation fidgeted nervously. All but Sen, Taft. I don't want to give you the idea that he tried to laugh off the seriousness of the situation. He said, tn fact, that he was inclined to agree with Mr. Beocles, “But ¥ don’t know whether all these inflationAry threats are quite justified or not,” he continued, with a puzzled smile.

MR.

In speaking of the gift of the house, the bishop said: Praises Sherwoods *The thoughtfulness and generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood and their children have deeply moved the trustees and will be greatly appreciated throughout the Diocese of Indianapolis. It is the finest thing that has happened for us in many a long day. “Mr. and Mrs. Bherwood have let a contract for the erection of a new and smaller home on the Pennsylvania B8t. side of their property which they hope to occupy by Dec. 1.” Bishop Kirchhoffer also today announced the resignation of the Bev.

The cathedral congregation will hold a meeting tonight to discuss the problem of his successor and the whole matter of the cathedral situation.

I HAVEN'T BEEN KISSED in months. We could be the happiest family in the world if my husband would just stay at home with us. His mother says his coming in late with lipstick on his shirts may be a passing fancy, but it's been 10 years passing. He doesn't say a word—just jumps into bed and starts snoring. :
We've been married 15 years and I'm in my early 30's, We have two school-age children. I tried to reason with my husband but he says he’s been to loige.

I love my children; my husband and my home but after sitting home night after night alone, knowing he's out having a “high old time,” I feel I can’t go on. I've joined two lodges and two clubs but I still have time to think. I'm tired serving and would like to be served. Am I wrong? LONELY. . A conscienceless man will have to want to stay home before he'll stick around. Overcoming 10 years’ serving and mothering your husband is difficult. Find some mutual friends and recreations, and spend that extra money you're earning on making yourself pretty. Encourpge your husband to talk about himself. That job of yours and your club affiliations will help make you more interesting to him. He won't be interested in the women's hats, though, or their progress in housecleaning. Wish we could forget the lipstick. It might diminish if you ask for a bigger allowance. Don’t let the snoring get you down.

Thinks Someone Does Husband's Thinking
I THINK SOMEONE is doing my husband's thinking. I don't have a dime I can call my own and I can’t stand to work long at a time. No woman likes to live with a man and beg for everything she needs. My husband is a goad provider and pays all the bills and buys groceries but he doesn't want to help my daughter by a previous marriage go through nurses’ training school. We've been married 15 years and he wanted to claim my daughter and not accept help froma her father until she was 16. We had some trouble then and I applied for a divorce but we smoothed this out and went back together. He then refused to keep her and because my health was bad and I couldn’t work I had to make her father keep her. During our trouble he moved to his parents’ home and they tried to keep him from helping my daughter and me. We went there for Christmas and there wasn’t anything on the tree for my daughter. They had the nerve to ask her to pass out the presents. I feel like if we could stay away from his people things would work out our way. I think my daughter and I should come first. What is your opinion? KITTY. Has your daughter been pleasant and grateful to this stepfather who supported her for several years?

You can't ignore in-laws but you can be civil and untouched by refusing to let their thoughtiessness prey on your mind. Try remembering your husband's previous support of your daughter.
