reason so many men wander away
from their own firesides is that they
are in search of more entertaining
conversation than they find there.
RUT how can they expect a woman
- to be gay and witty and amusing.
if she has been shut up in house all
day, with no one to talk to but the
baby and the cat? If she has seen
nothing but what she could behold
from a window and hasn't had even a
chance at getting new idea, what
could she talk about except sterilized
milk and the price of butchers meat?
Far otherwise would it be if she spent
the afternoon shopping or at a
matinee or a tea, or playing bridge,
and came home with a budget OF
gossip and amusing stories.
In one Of Shaw'S plays there Is
a gay lady whose husband always
overlooked her little affairs because
she was always so entertaining and
amusing when she came back from
one Of her adventures. Without going
so far as that, certainly we must
admit that any woman who has
interests outside of her family is far
more interesting to live with than
the one who doesn't know or care
what is happening outside Of her
household.
A ND nagging The reason women
\ nag, the reason they harp on a
single string and can never let by
cones be bygones, the reason wife
will keep reminding her husband for
80 years Of the money he lent a
friend when they were first married
is that they have so few interests.
They stick to old things because they
have no new ones. Keep a woman
entertained and amused and you will
cure her Of nagging every time.
Nor Is there any other such efficaci-
GUS remedy for i'll health among
women as for them to have plenty Of
interests and amusements outside the
who boast that they are homebodies,
that they never 60 anywhere and
that they devote all of their time
to their families. That gives them
plenty of leisure in which to think
about themselves and develop symp-
toms, but give them something new
to think about, something exciting to
do, and they take up their beds and
walk. There is no better way for
a man to save himself doctors bills
than to keep his wife on her tiptoes
FURTHERMORE, men have been
= incredibly stupid in opposing their
wives belonging to clubs, for there
is nothing like club or cause
to take q woman's mind OF her hus-
bands faults and shortcomings.
Every woman Is born reformer, and
the wise man lets his wife work of
her reformation complex on the Hot
tentots or the State instead Of himself.

building Of muscles and other tissues
Of the body.
To be correct, technically. we should
saw proteins instead Of protein, Tor
there is a great variety OF these COM
pounds. and seldom do you f1nd q
single type Of protein by itself. WMte
of egg, for instance, is essentially a
solution of proteins in water, while
the yolk contains other types OF pro-
tein. Meat contains several kinds, SO
do milk, cheese, fish, the legumes ano
nuts. Cereals contain good deal OF
protein, and all vegetables have vary
ing amounts.
To begin with, we shall take two Of
the most important protein foods
meat and eggs-and discuss the best
methods of cooking them for most
nourishing results.
IN MEAT there are many different
proteins-some in the muscle flbers
which make up the lean parts, others
in the tissue that holds the muscle
fibers together and that make up the
tendons. The red color of lean meat
is due to the protein containing iron.
and the flavor Of most meat Is due TO
extractives, which are soluble COM
pounds derived from proteins.
The muscle fiber proteins are myosin
and myogen, which "set" when heated
Heated just right. they remain tender
heated too much, they harden and
become what We call tough" The
proteins in the connective tissue
| collagen and elastin-behave quite
differently, elastin not changing with
cooking, and collagen becoming con-
verted into gelatine when cooked in
water-especially when a little acid,
such as vinegar, is added to the water.
The tenderness of the cut of meat
depends upon how much connective
tissue there is in it. and how much
elastin there is in that tissue. 1t Is
the amount of connective tissue that
should guide you in the method to be
employed in the cooking Of the meat
II you are cooking q cut OF beef, fol
instance, that Is tender to start with
such as porterhouse steak, or prime
l rib roast, you can more or less forget
, about the connective tissue, for there
is little of it present. The cooking OF
such a cut is mainly matter of con-
trolling the heat-searing to develop
the flavor, and then reducing the heat
enough to keep the proteins Of the
lean parts tender.

~ OCULAR permanent waves Tor
- the girl who has been VIC
tim of sleeping sickness for
i Y several years may seem like
an uncalled-for expense, but
after all it is not difficult to sympa-
thize with her mother, who will not
let her sleeping daughter lack beauty
care. Beauty meant as much to this
girl before her illness as it does to
every other normal girl; when she
wakes from her prolonged slumbers
she will find herself as dainty and
we'll groomed as before.
1t is so easy to make i'll health an
excuse for neglecting beauty rites,
but it is just when milady is feeling
below par physically that she most
needs them. Doctors know that when
their woman patients begin to take
an interest in their own personal ap-
pearance they are on the road to re-
covery. The knowledge that she Is
looking pretty is good medicine for
any ailing woman.
OF course, it isn't necessary for the
sick-a-bed to keep makeup on her
face all the time. A judicious amount
is very desirable on visiting days so
that friends will have no excuse for
making discouraging comments on
her wan looks. There are other
beauty aids besides lipstick and rouge
that are more important for her. Care
Of the hair is always a problem for
those who must remain in bed dur
ing long illness. The simplest So
luton is to have the hair shingled
behind, but left long enough in front
fot permanent wave. Or the hair
may be combed straight across the
back of the head as in Ida Lupino's
coiffure. The scalp should be mas
saged and the hair brushed and
combed twice a day. When semi
monthly soap-and-water shampoos
are inconvenient the hair should be
cleansed once a week with a dry
powder shampoo or q liquid dry
cleaning preparation made especially
for shampooing purposes. The psy-
Geological effect on patient Of q
well-groomed coiffure Is not to be
ignored. When a woman knows that
her hair is Stringy and unkempt she

Care Of the complexion, hands and
arms belongs in the beauty program
Of the sick and convalescent. Often
the skin tends to be dry, especially
the elbows, so that massage with a
tissue cream or softening skin lotion
is necessary. The face should be
cleansed twice daily. Nails should be
we'll manicured arms and hands
massaged. The weekly pedicure
should not be forgotten.
Daily sponge baths, alcohol rubs
and body massage are refreshing and
necessary to keep most bed patients
comfortable. Attention should be
given to correct posture. Pillows that
are too high encourage double chins
and round shoulders. Bed coverings
should not be drawn in too tightly
at the bottom so that the toes will
not be cramped when one Is lying on
ones back.

shoulders and underarm seams. The
peplum hangs loose from the waist
and appears only in the front. The
pockets are an added touch Of sophis-
tication.
Really distinguished results can be
obtained from smart fabrics-silk,
wool, cotton or linen. Either two
solid colors may be used, or solid In
the major part of the dress, with a
novelty for the jacket front.

sauce was smooth and thick. She
added one cupful of cheese, salt, pep
per, a bit Of mace, teaspoonful of
lemon juice. Then she put in the
pieces of fish. The finely rolled corn
fakes were sauted in butter and
topped the dish, taking the place Of
crumbs. The dish baked for one-half
hour, eked out though it was with
crusty rolls and a green salad. Apple
sauce turnovers were the dessert.

The Old Gardener Says:

BY careful planting, 1t Is pos
sible to nave an almost uninter-
rupted succession of vegetable
crops from Spring until the COM
ing Of frost, and by companion
cropping even a small garden
can be made to yield abundantly.
Dwarf peas, for example, may be
planted very early, in rows AZ
feet apart, and when the ground
is warm enough, tomato plants
may be planted between the peas.
Later, when the peas come out,
the space can be given to turnips,
lettuce, late cabbages or some
similar crop. Radishes can be
planted thlnly in the rows of
early vegetables Of all kinds, to
serve a double purpose. They
will mark the rows SO that culti-
vation can be begun right away,
and they will give early radisheS
for the table. Spinach is an early
crop, and early lettuce will soon
be out Of the way. They can
provide space for rutabaga tur-
nips, late heets, late carrots and
celery.

Dorothy Dix Says
Are You One of Bluebeard Husbands Who
Think Wife Better Off at Home Than
Out Playing Bridge.

A LONG time ago, doubtless in
~ the dark ages, some Bluebeard
~ Of husband promulgated the
4 \ theory that the ideal wife was
one who stayed put in her own
house and whose every interest was
centered within the four walls of her
home.
Strangely enough, the great major
ity of men still cling to this supersti-
tion. They feel that ingrowing domes-
ITCHY is womans highest virtue and
that a model wife spends her days
SteWing and preserving and canning,
and her evening darning socks, in
stead of faring forth to enjoy herself.
YOUNG husbands are particularly
= sold on the notion that wives
should be incarcerated for life in the
home jail, and they are shocked to
find out that the young girls they have
married desire any other diversion be-
sides footing the family treadmill.
No woman Is anathema to them
more than the one they call "gad-
der" and they look with a dark, sus-
picious eye on womens clubs, thinking
that those who attend them would be
better employed at home making pies,
than they are in listening to literary
or political discussions, or asking
what's trumps.
Of COURSE, no man could stand
~ being shut up in a house contin-
ually. One day of it drives him mad.
He knows he needs diversion, change,
to get out into the open, to go new
places, see new people, hear new
things. It puts fresh pep into him and
gives him o clearer view of his own
problems.
But he thinks that with women 1t
is different. They don't need change
or diversion. They are perfectly
happy, or at least they ought to be
perfectly happy, just staying at home
and performing upon the same old
cookstove and looking at the same old
walls and doing the same daily tasks
over and over, every day of their lives.
NOV, of course, In the old days
when women cooked on wood
fires and ground their own meal and
pdICIlcu
by hand, there was good and suf1i-
cient reason for a woman never to
stick her nose out Of her door. 1t took
all of her time to get the work done
necessary to making her family COM
Portable. But nowadays, with houses
equipped with every sort of labor-sav-
ing device, a woman is lacking in
gumption and management if she
cannot do all of her work and still
have plenty of time in which to play.
As a matter of fact, instead Of men
objecting to their wives stepping out,
they should encourage them to do so,
for they would thereby save themselves
from many Of the matrimonial Ills Of
which they most complain. Being
bored, for instance. Undoubtedly the
