children myself? S. q, S.
Answer do not believe that
you and your husband hate each
other, and / think your impend-
ing divorce is preventable. Expe-
rience teaches us that any strong
emotion is apt to be coverup fol
opposite feeling.
1t is difficult to scare up
good hate for a person whom
you never have loved.
I do not say, however, that no
one ever hated a person whom he
had not loved, but I do believe thai
you and your husband are not
wholly "in hate"
No couple with a small income
should have large family. In this
enlightened age it is difficult to see
how you could have escaped knowl-
edge of birth control. Love simply
will not stand up under the strain OF
too much work, too little pleasure
and no financial security. The wife
soon blames the husband for hel
heavy burdens and the husband
blames the wife for his increased re-
sponsibilities. IF only had not
married I wouldn't have these wor-
rieS."
Caught in each others tolls, it
is not surprising that one or both
strike out for revenge. BY court
ing an affair with your husbands
brother you shot straight for the
weak spot in your husbands ar
mor-and hit.
Most brothers have been rivals all
their lives. When one of them takes
the others wife, he evenS up the
score of countless childish defeats
at his brothers hands and hurts hin,
as no other man could. Your in
Stinct for revenge was true when
you chose your husbands brother
instead of a stranger. With one side
of your nature you may not like
the storm you have brought dowr
on your head, but doubtless the sell
you are ashamed to acknowledge
gloats over his discontinue in Sc.
cret.
/ do not know whether you and
your husband have the will or the
insight to untangle this web by
yourselves. If some third party
with knowledge of the situation
would work with both of you it
would help to iron out your diff
cultieS.
Each of you needs a chance tt
air his complaints against the other
Each of you needs a better under
standing of the others complaint.
against you. To understand all i.
to forgive all Before you Jump al

decorated her own home. She
was happiest when in the mic.st
of changing the color scheme of

closet.
1t was like so much play when
she began planning the decora-

Added to her experience of art
study while in Indiana University,
was her habit of observing un-

She chooses lighting fixtures in

are adequate.

MRS. WILLIAM LOW RICE
1Vl has her own career but it
doesn't place Mr. Rice in the be-
lifting position of being referred
to merely as Delta Rice's hus-
band" Instead of choosing a ca
reer in competition with her hus-
band, she has linked her work
with his.
Mr. Rice builds houses in the
Fairview district. Certain features
about their structures suggest a
"woman's finger in the pie" To
explain that, Mr.. Rice doesn't
pretend that he has an unusual
understanding of housewives
problems. He readily admits that
Mrs. Rice contributes the femi-
nine touch.
For four years she has been
contributing her ideas to the
architect designing the Rice-built
houses. To make certain that the
builder has the proper materials
with which to carry out her sug-
gestions, Mrs. Rice supervises
buying of many of the building

Women
Do Tricks
to Reduce
Madame Sylvia Has EN-
Rolling on Blocks
Stage and Aisles
BY ELIZABETH CARR


Everybody loves fat man. But
what about a fat woman?
indianapolis women actually
turned handsprings today to prove
to Madame Sylvia, figure expert of
Hollywood, that they could take it
if she would dish it out" And she
did.
you are young only between IA and
%, but take it from me, baby, you
don't ever have TO be old!" she told
the audience assembled today in
VIM. H. Blocks auditorium.
An expert masseuse. she dashes
back and forth between Hollywood
and Manhattan where film celeb
rites and society beauties keep her
busy. She is here this week explain
ing her system Of exercises to reduce
weight. She appears from 2 to
daily in Blocks auditorium.
With a punch and couple of re-
sounding slaps, Madame Sylvia told
a woman how to walk, how to take
off an inch here and how to put on
an inch there.
The 54-year -old four -foot-ten-
inch dynamo of Norwegian birth
minced no words in her war on
carelessness and laziness. Instead,
she turned her exercises into a
game, and had sophisticated women
rolling on the stage, and their
friends rolling in the aisles." Her
clipped suggestions in Scandina-
Wan accent were sprinkled with
why must you wear a hat like
that?" e.
And the women loved it.
Fat is not a crime, but it is a
crime to keep it. Until you pull on
the muscles you want to reduce, you
could exercise until you are blue in
the face without results" she said.
Advise Rough Exercise
She approves rough treatment.
"The rougher you are with your
body, the younger you will keep it.
But timber up. That's one thing all
women need-to get glamor into
their walk"
Madame Sylvia avoids mention of
diets-"A woman's best friend is
too likely to serve her rich foods, %
she says.
Mrs. Smith may have one reason
for wanting to be sylph-like and
Miss Brown may have another, but
you can't fool Madame Sylvia-it's
either a husband or job.
And both might be swell, but
what about your personal appear
ance?" she asks.
She has found it takes common
sense diets, hard exercise and mas
sage together with will power and
determination to improve figure.
Men come to this expert for ad-
vice, too, as many movie Romeos
are interested in taking off double
chins and preventing "bay win
dows."
Gloria Swanson, Ann Harding and
Jean Harlow are three of the many
movie actresses who have been adj
vised by the masseuse. Mae West?
She's never consulted Madame
Sylvia.
