o TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MftIL JRIBUNE Monday, December 19. 1933 Soeiety and Clubs Fifth Avenue Stroll Provides That No One Has Everything By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.PJ Nobody has everything, o One shopping trip down Fifth Avenue will disprove the0 old Christmas cliche. Start along about Tiffany's. If the glare from the 128-carat Tiffany OJiamond in the front window doesn't blind you never 0 mind asking price, it isn't for sale anyway, ask the clerk to show you something nice in a solitaire diamond ring. q Notice how restful and un 0 crowded it is around the coun ter? The best diamond ring in the place, brought out for your inspection, is a modest emerald- angular rtinmnnrle Prifo ill II I Does your girl smoke? Bet she doesn't have a gold cylindrical cigarette case studded with saph hires and diamonds worth $1900. Tiffany's does. Across the street you notice a few people lingering, red-nosed from the cold and wide-eyed fronr-'the view, before a plate glass window at Bergdorf Good man's. Go on in and tell the first clerk you see to wrap up that gold and pink brocade host ess gown with the mink collar and cuffs. Then make out a check for $1493 to pay for it. In the Jme store there is proof that men can lounge in luxury too, though not quite so luxuriously as women. A man's cashmere bathrobe is on the Christmas gift counter for $185. Just down Fifth Avenue a couple blocks you might step in side and ask for a cocktail shak er. That's good for bachelors on your list. The Christmas special is a sterling silver cocktail shak er in modern Swedish design for S290. Eight matching cups cost $300 extra. Then liiere's a 540,000 sable coat and an $8,000 chinchilla bolero ready to be wrapped up and taken out of Esther Dor othy's fur shop just a little east of Fifth Avenue.

Let Determined Wife Have Her Freedom. "When a wife is determined to have her freedom, there is little her husband can do but permit her to have her wish. (Q) "Last summer, my wife went away without Jelling me W! ana got a jod 'm in another state. She has written and aid she was going to get a The farm population of the U.S. decreased from about S32, 000,000 in 1900 to only about 28,000,000 in 1950. divorce as soon as she has enough money, She asked if I would contrib- Dr. Hurloek ute to this. I consulted my attorney and he told me to tell her nicely in a letter that I was very sorry she could not see she was doing wrong by leaving me and our two children. He said to tell her also that we will contest the divorce. I am now sitting tight and waiting to see what her re ply will be. My mother has come to take care of our home and the two children but I want my wife back. What is your sug gestion about my next move?" C.B.R. (A) Why not go see your wife and talk over the whole matter with her? A face-to-face talk is always more satisfactory than writing a letter. From talking to her, you will find out why she wants a divorce better than you possibly could from letters You cannot hold her against her wish, even if you contest the divorce. While it is true you can keep her from getting the divorce if the judge decides she has no grounds, that still will not bring her back to you and the children if she is determined to leave Under no conditions should you contribute to the cost of the divorce. By doing so, you would actually be telling her and the court that you were willing to let her have the divorce, which is not the case at all. If she is sure she wants to divorce you -and give up her children, there is no way you can persuade or force her to come back. Even if you did I can assure you that she would not make a good wife or mother Feeling as she does, your chil dren are better off with you and their grandmother.
