The trouble is, my husband in- sists on working on commission. Some weeks he makes nothing; others, up to $100. but his yearly average is about $40. I have fig- ured it all out, He refuses to ad- mit he could make more on a salary; he says a salaried plan never gets ahead.

IN .'A STATE OF SUSPENSE — Box-office booming Grace Kelly is off MGM's payroll — and Metro -Goldwyn -Mayer is on the spot. Winsome Grace, who knows her own mind, refused to work In "Jeremy Rodock" in which she was to co-star with Spencer Tracy. 5o MGM suspended her, which means she's not only off their payroll, but she can't work for any other company. MGM's doubly on the spot because (1) Grace is likely Oscar winter when the awards are made March 30.
