Looking we'll turned out can
represent an investment to a
career girl in her getting ahead
on the job. At that stage q
small budget for clothing US

her wanting to look as though
she's a junior executive at the

To the homemaker, appearing
Well-groomed and attractive on

OF planning where clothing pur-
chases are involved.
In one respect many women
have a similar viewpoint. All

to be credited with a keen eye
in obtaining the best buy pos
sible.
A new collection of McKet-

In the group of styles are mid

Childless couples frequently
drift apart and then the Ques-
ton arises whether, had there
been children, the rift would
have occurred. We have seen
scores Of instances Of couples
dropping their quarrels and hv-
ing in harmony after the arrival
of a child. Nevertheless, there
are. unfortunately, many cases
of separation and divorce that
are tied closely to children. Take
the case of Mrs. G., into whose
home this type of trouble is
creeping:
IT have never heard of
family with so much basis for
love. that is nearly breaking up
from quarrels over the bringing
up of the children. whom both
parents love deeply. We used to
say we wanted a large family,
but we certainly don't dare to
have another until we can pre-
sent a solid front to them, and
we certainly aren't doing that
with the two little girls whom
We now have
"A large part of our quarrels
grow out of their eating habits.
/ claim they should sit down to
the table at dinner time and
should eat little of everything
that is set before them, whether
they like it or not. If they don't
want to eat, OK; but then they
should go over to the next meal
without nibbling betweentimes.
My attitude infuriates my hus-
band, who claims children are
entitled to their own preferences.
If one Of the girls won't eat,
my husband demands that I
cook a special meal for her, and
by the time have done this our
own dinner Is ruined-and my
disposition as well. feel that
my husband Is enslaving me to
the children. In return he asks
what kind Of q home is it
where any member Of the family
can't get what he likes?

should you and your husband
disagree in the presence of the
children. Like many other men,
