PUBLIC FAULTFTNDERS
LESS %CHOOSY AT HOME
The Man Who Orders -Four Kinds of Fruit, American Plan,
and kicks about 1t Apt to Eat Prunes at Home

THE restaurant was crowded. 1t was
l. the high tide of the dinner hour at
a large resort hotel-a time when
every waiter must keep his wits to make
only a minimum of mistakes.
Il am sorry, madam" this one was
saying, 'but I'll bring them just as soon
as I 60 back to the kitchen"
But the lady who had ordered mashed
potatoes and canGied sweets as we'll
from the "all you want to-eat' menu
would not be pacifed.
Il knew" she remarked t her hus-
band, but loud enough for the waiter to
hear, che wasn't listening to n thing
you were saying when you gave that
order. You'd think they'd hire walters
with brains in n place like this, the
price they charge for meals
Perhaps it was the walters fault and
perhaps it wasn't, h%umanely speaking.
But there is this to be remarked about
women and men who are the least toler-
ant of slip-ups when away from their
own homCs-they are usually the ones
most accustomed to unsmooth sailing
when they are in them. The woman
who phones downstairs to report the
maid who failed to put clean towels
in her room in the evening is more often
than not the woman whose bathroom at
home is always Uttered with half soiled
towels and gray-looking washcloths.
The man who orders four kinds of fruit
for his breakfast simply because he
finds them IN the American plan menu,
and then complains about them at that,
is usually the chap who sits calmly at
home at 8 o'clock every morning eating
a dish of prunes.

husband Is Riuht

Dear Cynthia am just twenty one
though | have been married going on
thrc" years. l have n baby girl six
months old. Now Cynthia, what l would
like to ask you is this. My husband
wants me to live on n certain amount a
wcck-that is not counting the rent. l
say he should give me his envelope and
trust me to save. What he doesn't give
me to live on he makes good use of. Am
| right? | would also like your read
crs' advice. j. b. Mes.
If your husband allows you enough
to live on, YOU should be satisfied, es-
p~rcialIy as you say he makes good use
of the money he does not give YOU.
1t is only fair that the one who makes
the money should have the handling of
it.
As every case of the kind is apt to
differ from another, the answer to prob
lens do not always apply to every in
dividual case.

4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
A SEALSKlN coat was once more
n than simply a cont made of the pclt
Of Il certain aquatic mammal. 1t stood
for something. 1t was admired for
more than tho nero beauty of the
fur. II was admired because the one
who saw it know that the on" who
bought i, lad had many shckclS ia
spend. and the one who wore it had
been of sufficient attraction to make
that purchase seem worth while.
In the small town or village on"
rather naturally divided the women
folk into two classcS-thoSC who had
SoaISkin coats and those who did not.
There was Il social distinction about
it. II vas not the garment of tho
coQucttiSh young woman o was it
the garment that needed to be III the
mode. If you had II YOU wore it for
many seasons just as it was.
Rut nowadays the scalskin Coat is
rather different; in fact, it has be
come n fur particularly beloved by
the II woman. and the skillfu
f@urricrs have managed to produce
coats Of this pclt that are cut in the
latest and most bcwitching lines.
In the sketch shown here you will
see the new idea or treating scalSkin.
1t is layishly combined with beaver
which forms Il huge collar and cuff
and a band on the cuffs. This band is
very generous. because the coat it
self has Il ripple back Of ample di-
mrnSions. 1t is bcltcd at the front.
The toquc is made of a crown of the
ScalSkin combined with a narrow brim
of beaver colorcd duvetyn. There i
n pink velvet rose at the center front
Of the hat.

The child whose hands are slapped for
putting his fingers on the polished piano
in his W home is placidly allowed
to carve his name fingernail fashion on
the one in the hotel p%arlor, IL that kind
Of amusement strikes his fancy. Ashes
and lighted cigarettes are ruthlessly
thrown on expensive rugs met in travel
ing, and the simple little one at home
is treated with the highest respect.
Sometimes a person wonders if there
is such a thing as a sense-of respect
for other peoples property!

To the Worried One

Why don't you actually call your
fathers attention to how the bust
ness has fallen off? Perhaps that would
convince him that he ought not to take
so many strangers into his confidence.
Get your mother to talk to him. There
is no way to break him Of this habit
but by showing how much harm he is
doing to his BUSINESS.

Another Answer to Margaret


Dear Cynthia-In Mondays EVE
MING PUBLIC LEDGER, ! saw a letter
signed Margaret" in which she asked
what your readers would think of a
young girl who would marry a divorced
man. May l tell "MargarGt' n little
of what / have endured since | decided
to do what her friend is contemplating?
l was twenty on years of age and
l met a young man who after several
talks with me COntidCd to me that he
was divorced from his wife, because she
had left him and had finally married
another man. lie talked very we'll and
described how he had loved her and
surrounded her with every comfort, but
how badly she had treated him. My
heart went out to him in sympathy.
My mother learned that he was di-
vorced and warned me not to encour-
age his attentions, but | would not
listen and finally l married him, though
my dear friend whom / had known from
childhood, our Episcopal minister, beg
gCd me not to and refused to marry us.
Well, we were married four years ago
and for the first few months, though |
was happy with him, l suffered terribly
from the snccrs and Sights l %encoun-
tered from my old friends. Not one of
the girls | had grown up with came
to see me, and when we met in the
street they hurried by. This was cs-
pccially noticeable in one l had great
" loved. One day l stopped her in the
street and asked her what l had done
to he treated so. And she said "Why,
Mary, you married a man whose wife is
still living" but they were divorced, y
[ cried. ''Oh, yes,' she said, ''but
don't approve of rcmarriage after di-
vorcc." and went on. This cut me to
the heart and n little later | found that
my husband was not so attentive nor so
kind, and now after four years of life
with him, | find | can scarcely stand it
any longer. He is treating me as l have
since learned he treated his first wife,
| will not go into details, it would be
too h%umiliating and l have lost my
friends. l hope this letter may hclr
to stop "Margaret's" friends from tax
ing the same step.

Another "JeWepv

Dear Cynthia-.I think very few boys
care for the "Jcwcl type" of girl. The
majority of the male sex will go after
these painted dolls, as we call them.
While ! missed Jewels letter l can
imagine, from the letters printed since,
just what kind of girl she is and |
an another belonging to that type. |
find very few men or boys who care
for us, because. | suppose, they think
we ar" slow and these ''painted dolls
are such ''big timers" or ''sports,''
as We ottrn hear them called. | have
been told several times when n man
chooses II wife he wants to choose n girl.
and n real one. of cheerful disposition,
sensible dresser. n good housckccpcr.
not necessarily one to do all the work
in his home, but to keep it clean and
attractive. and n girl who hasn't been
"Iallygagging" with every boy she ever
met. | know for u fact that the ma
jority Of boys care more for these
painted dolls than they do for the real
Jewel type"
Hoping to see this printed in your
column real soon. l am, MARY.

Grape Juice

Wash and stem twenty-five pounds
grapes. Remove grapes from stems
and place in preserving kettle. Now
add four quarts of cold water, bring
to boil, MASKING grapes well. Cook
until grapes are soft; then pour into
jelly bag and let drip. Pour juice
into sterilizeG bottle, cork or seal.
Then put for fifteen minutes in hot
water bath for a pint and twenty
minutes for quart. Remove from
bath, cool, dip tops of bottles in
melted parafin and cool. One cup
of sugar may be added, if desired,
to each quart of juice after strain
ing. If sugar is added, heat sugar
with part of grape juice to boiling
point. Cook five minutes, then add
to the balance of juice. Cool. Then
bottle as directed. Use pulp of
grape for fruit butter.

NOV that cooler weather is coming
= the housewife feels that the
Sunday dinner will need to be more
substantial, and for this reason she
will select a piece of meat that car
be made to do for two or three meals
and perhaps a lunch or two. A pot
roast of beef will make splendid
eating and if carefully prepared will
vie with the choicest cuts Of beef.
Select a cut from the bolar cross
cut or Boston roast, which is really
a fancy rolled brisket. Have the
butcher place a piece Of suet and
bone with the meat, tying it into a
firm piece. Now, when ready to pre-
pare this meat for the table keep the
fact in mind that the reasonably
priced cuts can be made just as
tender, and frequently more palat-
able, than the most expensive cuts
by carefully cooking them-that is,
that long and slow cooking will make
the ibers tender.
Now, although this is not quite
the place for it, I would like to tell
you that the French folk don't like
our gas ranges "Too queek," says
madam, with a shrug of her Shout
ders, "ze charcoal, eet eez JUS fine.
so eezy-and slow" Evidently
madam hasn't noticed the simmering
burner. This burner is quite slow
and will cook ~potroasts, braises and
stews in a most palatable manner.
Start the meat cooking on a large
burner and when we'll heated trans
fer to the simmering burner, where
it will cook very slowly. Now this
requires time, and for a four or five
pound piece of meat fully three
hours. So you will need to start in
plenty of, time. The wise woman will
prepare this on Saturday and simply
reheat it in the gravy for the Sunday
dinner.
This may also be made a true
economy, for Saturday evening din
ner may be had from the meat and
then it can be served with another
garnish and gravy for Sunday, and
then the family ii surely enjoy it,
and when it is cut cold for lunch it
will be palatable and we'll favored.
