How To Make
Marmalade, Told
By Sister Mary

Orange or grapefruit marmalade
Is delicious with toast for tea on
breakfast.
If a dish of stewed prunes has
been the breakfast fruit, a bit of
marmalade with the toast and co.,
fee adds just the necessary touch
to the meal.
While many people object to he
bitterness of marmalades, of citrus
fruits this very tang makes a stimu-
liant for faded appetites. Home
made marmaIades can be made just
as bitter as one desires 1t.
Candied orange peel is a sweet
meat easily made at home and a de-
lightful change from candy. A plate
of orang peeling will be quite as
acceptable on one corner of the
bridge table as the usual dish of
b%on-bons.
No English tea is ever complete
without its marmalade and the
English people like it with a tang"
one recipe calls for 'bitter" oranges
to mix with the sweet. But the Bit
terness is controlled by the number
of times the skins are parboiled.
a rather sour orange should be
chosen. Lemons may be added II a
somewhat tart marmalade is desir-
cd. Lemons do not add to the bit
terness of the marmalade.

1 do not think that a woman who is so selfish and self
centered will ever make any man happy, and that the sooner
he puts her out OF his life the better. That type of woman
never loves any one but herself. and the pity of it is that. by

instead of trying to save their wives from all hardships, men
would make their wives carry their fair share of the domestic
burden. A great many silly and frivolous wives could be stead
led if their husbands ~ould put responsibilities upon them.
Men think they are being kind to their wives when they work them
selves to death so that their wives may be idle. This is a great mistake.
1t is work that keeps women out of mischief, that keeps them from get
ting neurotic, that keeps them healthy and sane-also, that keeps them in
love with their husbands. Because no woman " cares long for a man
who lets her in over him and put things over o n him.
Furthermore, a man should require some sacrifice at
his wfes hands because we love the best people that we
help; and this is particularly true of women. 1t is not the
man who gives most to women that they love most. It is the
men who demand most of them. You don't hear of many
divorces in the circles Tin which the wife has to take in wash
ing to support a good for nothing husband. h
And there are several morals in that. DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX-Can you tell me which Is the safest gamble
to marry a man of my own age who is jealous, grouchy, conceited and *
