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 man never gets ahead. My argument is that any ambitious man could manage to be worth more than his present income. ccessory Dress! . A whole wardrobe of fashion In ONE pattern — that's the beauty of this basic new style!

He still thinks the same old luck will follow him. I've tried to get him to go on salary for just a year, until we could take care of our debts. He refuses. "We were married eight years ago, and for the past five I've held a job. I took it so we could move away from his family home. (We have no children). I don't mind working, except I'd prefer to keep shouse and cook; but if I can be a better helpmeet by holding a job, then I'm happy to. "My husband is intelligent; he has a good personality and a loving nature. I .sincerely be- lieve he loves me above every- thing else, as I do him. He is 34, the youngest of a large fam- ily; they were poor, but he had what he needed. Can you . give me any suggestions? DISCOURAGED" * One would suppose that a • man from a poor family * would value a dollar too dear-. * ly to gamble with it. Your • husband's one fling spoiled * him; now he is incurably * hopeful, believing his luck m will repeat itself. Also, the * very uncertainty of his present * commissions may arouse his * gambling tendency. ,: To most wives, how com- 'k forting is the weekly pay en- * velope! -- Particularly to one * of your nature, who considers ,, owing money • dishonest, and * who longs for. financial secur- * ity in a home of her own. * To put your request on the * basis of, "If you love me —" * is repugnant. You can, how- * ever, remind your husband * that this problem is the only * barrier to your complete hap- * piness; if it were removed, * you could look ahead to the * day when you are free of debt * and able to save regualarly * and manage practically, as * most women prefer to do. * You could relax into the dom- * estic routine you really love, * and look forward to raising the * family you hope for. * 1 hope your husband will * realize how fair you are in * asking that he try your idea * for just a single year. Surely two mature people are able to discuss pleasantly the best way to handle their in- come? Vet money arguments rate high in our divorce courts. . If this problem faces you, ask Anne Hirst's opinion; she can explain how to handle it in an adult way. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St,, New Toronto Ont. The knowledge, I think, therefore I am, is the first and most certain that occurs to one who philosophizes orderly. —Time Pescartes. ill'RETTY DOGGY .— Now you can match your swimsuit to your dog's personal pattern - unless the pooch is a Mexican hairless.

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, wha knows her own mind, refused to work in "Jeremy Rodock" in which she was to co-star with Spencer Tracy.. So 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 winner when the awards are made March 30. If she cops it she won't be any easier to cope with (2) MGM can't wield the economic whip because her father is a multimillionaire. 'FAIR ' TALKS clam Andx-w,s. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that figs aren't nearly as much used in cookery today as they were a few years ago. Which is. a pity, as they have a much wider range of use than many cooks realize. Recently, in The Christian Science Monitor, Ethel M. Eaton published some fig recipes which are well worth passing along to.. you.

Fire -gutted buildings seldom would be replaced. Families would be thrown into a lifetime of debt by the costs of automobile accidents and other liabilities arising from mishaps and errors. Few people would risk their money on investments. Industries would go bankrupt. lobs would be lost. ALL CANADA a:a tas2utt*tvoe r rr,nvLoel Today in Canada, the insurance busi- ness provides protection against nearly every conceivable risk. Fire insurance alone safeguards property valued at $32 billion. And claims totalling niot•a Than $200,000,000. are paid each year to offset the costs of a variety of mishaps - from people slipping on stairs to tornados. In this way, the insurance business makes a substantial contribu- tion. towards Canada's continued secu- rity and prosperity.
