The trouble is, my husband in-

Some weeks he makes nothing;
others, up to $100, but his. yearly
average is about $40. I have fig-

manage to be worth more than
his present income.

That can be remedied by build-

cord to form a little cushion
for the bottle to sit on, then
stick the cord and bottle togeth-

cement. When covered with the

like part of the bottle.
Let the plastic wood dry-it

IN A STATE OF SUSPENSE - Box-office booming Grace Kelly
is off MGM's payrrll - 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.
So. MGM suspended her, which means she's not only off their
payroll, but she can't wcrk for any other company. MGM's
doubly on the spot because. (1), Grace iso 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.

Home-Made
Pottery
Rough-textured loottery has a
prominent role in modern home
decoration and many women
have taken up pottery-making
as a hobby, But if you've neither
the skill nor the inclination to
tackle the art, here's a short-cut.
All you need is an empty bot-
tle-one with an elegant shape
-and a tin of plastic wood.
Plastic wood handles like putty
and hardens into wood and 'it is
used to fill, cracks and hOles in
wood. It is excellent for mend-
ing loose chair rungs or repair-
ing handles on knives. You can
get it from a paint dealer or at
a hardware store.
The shape is the thing which
worries all serious workers-in-
clay. But here •you have the
jump on • them-t-you start with
the already perfect shape of the
bottle and simply plaster it.
Work.carefully and methodi-
cally, using a little plastic wood
at a time and smoothing it on
with a knife. Don't make it too
smooth, of course-the -rough-
ness is half •the beauty. Cover
every bit of the bottle, from
neck to base with a thin coating.
Plastic wood sticks to the fin-
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
haves 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.

"The trouble started, 1 think,
after he got out of service.
Starting on little, he made .a
small fortune -- and lost it all
gambling! 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 house and
cook; but if I can be a better
helpmeet by holding a job, then
I'm happy to.

has a good personality and a
loving nature. I sincerely be-
lieve he loves rite 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?

* 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
* will repeat itself. Also, the
* very uncertainty of his present
* commissions may arouse his
* gambling tendency.
* To most wives, how corn-
* forting is the weekly pay en-
* velope! - Particularly to one
* of your nature, who considers
* owing money dishonest, and
* who longs for financial recur-
* 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 &tad relax into the dom-
* estic routine you really love,
* and look fortvard to raising the
* family you hope for.
* I hope your husband will
* realize how fair you are in
* asking that he try your idea
