Dorothy DiT'S Letter Bor

Dear Dorothy Dix-I would ap- preciate very much if you would tell me what kind of a disposition a woman must possess to be popular c. S.
 Answer:
 To be popular, a woman must be cheerful.
 None of us pine for the society of grumpy and grouchy people, and we especially walk wide of women who are fearful and complaining, and who always have 8 tale Of woe to tell us.
 To be popular a woman must be kindly and amiable.
 Nobody likes the catty woman who has always got her claws out, and who gives a rake that brings the blood every time she gets a chance Sarcastic women, spiteful women bittertongued women, high-tempered women, are never popular,
 A popular woman must be a kindly sympathetic woman.
 We all love the women who are first at the house when there's birth or death in 1t, and who are always willing to be kind. and helpful, and neighborly.
 To be popular, woman must be interesting, or at least interested in other people.
 None of us like to be with dull stupid women, or women who spend their time talking about themselves and their own affairs. And we all enjoy the society of women who are good listeners, and who will let us monologue along about ourselves and our interests.
 To be popular a woman must be nice looking; she doesn't necessarily have to be beautiful, but she must be neat and trim and clean.
 None of us like to be seen with a woman who looks like a human rag-bag. Follow this recipe for popu- larity and you cannot fail.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix-I was very much interested in your article on The Golf Widow" I know It is all true, but did you ever consider the Lodge Widow? The men in this coun try are lodge-mad, and the wives have to put up with it, although there Is HOluiHB lHdL VIII separate husband and wife as quickly as secrets
 There are couples among my friends who. to outsiders, appear to be happy. but in the home there is arguing and wrangling all the time because the husband is spending all his time and money taking degrees and going through the chairs ol lodges. All the chummy feeling is gone and husbands and wives have nothing in common.
 I know there are plenty of auxili- aries for the women, but they are supervised by the men. and do not put the husbands and wives~~on the same footing, for the men still have their own secrets.
 When the lodges open their doors so that husbands and wives can join togther they will be doing a big thing toward getting rid of the di- Vorce evil. What do you think about lodges? A VICTIM
 Answer: Lodges, like other good things have to be taken in modera- tion. Otherwise they are a virtue that lean to vices side. Undoubted- ly wife whose husband spends more money than he can afford or his lodges. and Is away from home more than two nights a week at. tending them, has just cause of com. plaint. E
 But I think that most women dc not grant their husbands enough freedom for amusement. The aver. age husband is worse off than 6 hired girl. He hasn't even got one evening off a week In which to dc as he pleases.
 Women do not understand how nerve caring and exhausting hnsi.

ness is, nor how much a tired man needs recreation and a complete change of interest Otherwise they wouldn't begrudge their husbands their lodge, and they would think themselves lucky that their spouses were at the lodge instead of else where. Of course, tired housewife is just as tired as the tired business man and needs as much diversion. < The ideal arrangement would be for family to go 50-50 on fun and for the husband to offer to stay at home and take care of the children while wife went to the movies as many evenings as he spends at the lodges.
 As for the lodge secrets being a cause for dissension in the family goodness gracious. sister, where's your funny-bone? It Is to laugh about them. DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Miss Dix: I would like tC ask your advice concerning my fu- ture My husband is an ex-soldier and has poor health and is In a gov ernment hospital.
 l must support myself. I am 25 years old. Have no children. Am not very strong. What can do to make living? I have s400.

Wild Duck.

There are many varieties of wild duck, but they should all be served rare and the red juice, not blood, should follow the knife when carved. If the duck has Q strong, ftshy odor' parboil it before roasting, and as a further precaution roast a couple or white onions in it. Wild duck are not usually stuffed, but some cpl cures like a celery dressing with just dash of onion A celery stuff ing will best bring out the flavor Tn the redhead. Teal is good with plain, dry stuffing, but the canvas lacks lacks are best without any dressing

Answer: Sit down and have a heart to- heart session with yourself Put aside your egotism and your dreams that make you think you would like to be grand opera sin ger or a movie star.
