INSTALLMENT BUYING DOWN The Federal Reserve Board said last month that credit buying during November had slowed consid- erably and that for the tenth successive month, the public | had cut its credit-buying sharply. The increase in the! credit debt was listed as $86,000,000 for November. To get an idea of the slower pace of credit buying, one should look at the figure for November, 1952. In| that month, a little over a year ago, credit buying in-| creased by some $464,000,000. That was more than five times the increase which occurred in November, 1953. The most drastic cutback in credit purchases in Nov- ember, the Board’s figures showed, was the slowed pace - of automobiles on credit, whereas in November, 1952, the total was an amazing $226,000,000, * Glancing over these figures, it is not difficult to see why a glut in the automobile market developed in Nov- ember and December, 1953. Because these figures are far out of line with the prosperity which prevailed in November, 1958, they are highly indicative of an anxiety) about future business conditions in the mind of the aver- age buyer.

Jealous of Carl's absorption in his work, his sense of duty toward all of his students and especially those, such as Helen, who required spe- eial assistance from him. She wanted to come first with him in everything, at all times, had always wanted that without thinking very much about it Aunt Mae had started her think- ing, had aroused vague dissatis- factions and this new, painful dis- trust of the basic perfection of her marriage. Had stirred strange, new doubts ar.d brought her and Carl to the point of ugly quarrel- ing. Jane, not being one to analyze her own emotional reactions, was confused and unhappy without knowing the real basis for her confusion and unhappiness. It was simple, easy, to pin it all down to one concrete thought: If he still loves me I can make him jealaus of me.
