We, the Women
A Vet Ought to Be Able to Buy Clothes

Then the talk shifts to shirts and do you know where you can get any white ones?
 And then the men get down to talking about shorts and under shirts. The veterans are as absorb ed in clothes talk as women ever were.
 And no wonder. They knew just what kind of clothes they wanted when they put their uniforms away in moth balls and started their civilian shopping.
 HE EARNED THE RIGHT
 But what they planned to buy and what they are getting aren't the same things at all.
 And that's a pity. For the man who takes of a uniform he has worn proudly ought to be able to find at least one new suit in which he feels right. And he ought to be able to stock up on white shirts after years of wearing brown ones. He ought to be able to buy as good a wardrobe as the man who has worn civilian clothes throughout the war has, since he is going to be in competition with him.
 But he can't And while he is pretty good-natured about it, still something ought to be done. When he has earned his right to wear civilian clothes-he ought to be able to find some to wear.

 Lest there be some misunder- Standing, do not advise the use of this or any other gargle for acute sore throat or cri. On the contrary I'd advise against gargling in such cases, although gently swishine home simple solution (boric acid ir water, teaspoonful to the pint around the mouth and throat with put gargling may keep one more comfortable during the acute in- nammation. The use of 'antiseptic' gargles in acute sore throat or cri Is based on misconception of the pathology of the condition.

MASTERPIECE OF EVASION

DEAR M. D.: Your problem is presented almost too evaSively to justify serious attempts at helpful consideration. We have nothing ex- cept your insinuations to suggest that it is your wife and not your self who has made teamwork inn possible almost from the first.
 Moreover, while your statements seem quietly keyed to charitable re- straint, one wonders-is this an un- conscious Cor maybe shrewd) device to obscure the consistent truth of the matter, which, if fully known and carefully evaluated, might put the finger on you as the immovably incongruent figure in the situation?
 This speculation is aroused by your admission that, while alleged ly trying to make the best of things for years, you were at the same time letting your wife know how you felt--namely, bitterly dissatisfied and intent on divorce, sooner or later-and also telling her often that she was free to leave when ever she liked. Is that perhaps a sugar-coated way of describing your behavior? Were you for the most part trying rudely to bulldoze or in- suit her into seeking divorce?
 You say you stayed for the child's sake-until his Cor her) education would be finished. Offhand, that seems basically a decen. stand. But did you stay for the child's sake, truly-that is, to give him the social security and psychological benefits of the most nearly normal home life that could be contrived by heroic endurance?
 Or did you rather stay for dog n-the-manger reasons: because di- vorce, then, would have given the child to his mothers custody with out question; and because you were determined dnfluenced by jealous attachment to the child and spite full dislike of the mother) to hang on long enough to win him to your view of her, if possible' Apparently you are satisfied that this has been done; and, as you say, your own family likewise indorses your wish to be rid of her.
 This puzzles me: If you indeed possessed the strength of mind and character, the moral austerity, tc

folk in their respective fields Dinah is Americas most popular female singer according to most polls and the girls are tops as the rhythm trio. Interesting to note is that ini- tial ventures into the radio picture was on a New York independent station, WNEW.
 Sammy Kaye and his orchestra, whose smooth strains make Sun day Serenade" on ABC one of the brighter Sabbath afternoon fea- lures, find that their following now embraces thousands of ex-service- men. These boys first heard Kaye via the Is V-Discs he made for them during the war. Tunes ranged from "A Little on the Lonely Side'' to the standard, There's A Long, Long Trail Awinding." Now these lads, back in the states, give vo- ciferous okay to Kaye.
 Unusual is the fact that the new format on the Abbott and Cos tcllo program over Thursday nights adds names which give the series two ABC combinations. Abbott (MeD Blanc and Costello form one starting with their last names Amy (ArnelD Bob (Matthews) and Carl tEoff) form another with their first names. But, instead of being on ABC, the program is on NEG.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: l have been married for 20 years and almost from the first I realized that 1 had made mistake in choosing my wife for my life companion However, I tried to make the best or it but through the years this has been almost impossible.
 I could hardly explain to you, or to anyone, all-or even some of the things that have pushed mo away from her during these years. We are simply incompatible. Our natures, our likes and dislikes are far apart; and after several years of marriage, during which I hoped we might bridge the gap, l decided would live with her until our child had finished school, which I have done-and then make other ar- engagements.
 During these years she has known how felt and have told her many times that she was free to go when- ever she liked. But evidently she would not permit herself to believe me, because for the past 20 years since asked her for divorce, she has delayed-calling it silly no- tion on my part and saying I am probably in my second childhood Once recently she gave her consent then went back on her word.
 Now, the question is, should stor trying to persuade her and get the divorce myself? I am willing to es- tablish permanent residence in an- other state where could easily ob- tain a divorce, if that is necessary And while I have no desire for her company, neither would see her in want. l intend to provide for her although many have told me that most men would have walked out on her long ago. Both my child and my own family are in full accord with nv wish tn hp free
