A LII the counters at the markets
n seem to be well stocked with
~ green's this week. Mounds
4 piled high In the background
or bushels overflowing In the fore
ground give proof that Mother Earth
has been profusely generous despite
the blazing sun and drought. Esca-
role, small, crisp, tender clusters;
small leafed turnip greens, baby cab
bage sprouts, bright green spinach,
baby kale and collard greens are ex-
ceptionally fine, plentiful and cheap.
Healthy, vivid green and free from
blemish, they are all apparently at
their prime. Homegrown garden
beans, small, tender, fat ones that are
so good steamed and served with
butter sauce or cold as a salad in
gredient, are among the cheapest
items to be had. Baby carrots, tiny
sweet red beetS, also from nearby, are
excellent buys, too.
Small baby limas are beginning to
come in now from nearby gardens,
and they are much cheaper than
they have been. Be sure to enjoy
them while you may-the local crop
has a short span Of life. Asparagus
is still available. 1t is very good for
this time of year and the advance In
price has been very moderate. Broc-
coli Is coming into its own now in
good measure. Every stall is display
ing firm, green bunches-far superior
to that received last week. Cault-
flower, from nearby, was received In
better lots. Last week the flower
cites were badly blemished and the
heads seemed rather wilted. This
weeks supply, however, is beautifully
firm and snow white.

to try 1t at the first opportunity, but
thought you might like to do little
experimenting yourselfl
From another source-also mascu-
line and fond of good cooking-comes
q wonderful suggestion for making
onion soup ''au gormet" with none Of
the usual agony Of preparation. Us
ing o good brand Of timed onion
soup, he proceeds as follows:
The soup is poured into a pottery
tureen. The tiniest Of finger rolls are
sliced through, crosswise, in slices
about one-eighth of an inch thick.
These are toasted to golden brown.
Float them neatly on top Of the soup
in the tureen and sprinkle grated
cheese thickly over all. Set in the
oven to heat until cheese has be-
gun slightly to melt. He declares
and I know from experience-that it
Is best to make plenty Of this-the
demand always exceeds the supply!
A ND then have been told about
IA special hot cheese sandwich that
has turned out to be just as good as
1t sounds. Cream one-half pound Of
cheese with one-hslf tablespoonful
prepared mustard, one teaspoonful
Worcestershire sauce, red pepper, one
egg well beaten, and one tablespoon
full milk. Mix well, spread on bread,
top with a slice Of bacon and broil
until hot and the bacon Is crisp.
A quick dessert may be made by
using bought" sponge cake and
topping it with sauce made from
marshmallow fluff and chocolate
sauce. A glorified version Of our old
favorite, cottage pudding" and
made with practically no trouble
whatsoever. This Is, apparently, a
favorite with Summer bachelors, as
Is the blueberry pudding from New
England, made with bread. For this
one, line a deep glass dish With slices
of white bread, about half an inch
thick, buttered. Crusts may be re-
moved or not, as you prefer. Stew
fresh blueberries just long enough to
start the juice and pour into the dish
on top of the bread. Set in the ice
box for several hours to chill thor
oughly and serve with heavy or
whipped cream. This is delicious.
You will find that the berry juice has
entirely soaked the bread and the
whole dessert Is a luscious purple
color that Is far removed from bread,
butter and berries!
That seems to bring the treasure
trove up-to-date. Now I shall have
to sit down at parties with an anxious
and worried expression so that more
friends will take pity on me and bring
me new hints, helps and what have

Dorothy Dix Says
No Woman Ever Understands the Con-
trariness of Most Husbands

their wives have no desire for finan-
cial independence and actually enjoy
begging them for everything and being
asked, What did you do with that
quarter I gave you week before last?"
WHY any husband has the nerve to
w speak of supporting" his wife
when she works IA hours a day to
make a comfortable home for him and
his children and to save his money.
Why husbands think that just being
married to them is all the diversion
that any woman could want.
Why husbands think that cooking
and washing and tending is a
pastime of which women never tire,
although being shut up in house for
a single day gives them the heebee-
jeebies and taking care of the baby
on a Sunday afternoon gives them
nervous prostration.
And most Of all, wives wonder why,
when their husbands know that a
few tender words and a kiss that
wasn't Just out Of cold storage would
make them happy and make marriage
worth while, they seldom get them.

One very trick idea sponsored by
this same shop was q "twin-use"
neglige, consisting of a full, wrap

dainty coatlet is ideal for a bed jacket
or to slip over q frock for protection

cosmetics between dates.

ways important during the Sum-

nicely into q suit case and can be
worn so inconspicuously to the Pull
man dressing room.
Also recommended for travelling are
the modish print-pique coats, which

DISCUSSION Of negliges brings to
mind other attractive intimate
garments shown In Washington shops.
Slips are smartly keeping up with the
Summer fashion parade, coming in
pastel shades for midseason frocks
and In the dark colors demanded by
the early Fall sheers.
We were fascinated by one very
complete collection Of slips made in
practically all the shades Of the spec
trum, with white and black thrown in
for good measure. Though manufac-
tured from q "crown-tested" fabric,
and wrapped in cellophane, these gar
ments sell for q mere $1.69. For the
information Of any who are as un-
initiated as we were before the buyer
of this stock took pity on our ignor-
ance, "crown-tested" means that q
fabric goes to the head Of the class
for durability, instability, color fast
ness and all those important things.
Another fashion advance heralded
by this particular shop Is man.
tailored pajamas, made by house
that formerly manufactured sleeping
garments exclusively for men.
These have particular appeal fol
girls who are already beginning tt

NCE there is no time like Sum-
mertime for luxurious lounging,
it is fortunate that Washington
~ shops offer such a wide variety
of attractive negliges and robes in
which to lounge.
Airy cottons are much featured for
Summer and afford an atmosphere Of
cool daintiness which should nightly
aid a heat sufferer in attaining and
maintaining an appropriate state OF
philosophic calm.
One light robe that particularly
struck our fancy was made from q
gay India print, cut on the slender,
sweeping lines that are tops" for
fashionable wear on boulevard and In
ball room. Not least among the pleas
ures Of settling down before an elec-
tric fan in such a swirling robe Is the
knowledge that it Is styled with the
same care given to gowns for street
and evening wear.
Dainty enough for q luxurious
boudoir setting, these inexpensive
prints boast q practical variability
that will survive the rough-and-
tumble of the beach. In fact, match
ing play suits with haring shorts and
halter waist are made for those
who want them. Robes and play
suits are sold separately for $2.95
each.
Chiffon negliges in pastel shades,
as featured at another shop, are the
acme of daintiness and filrny cool
ness. One model has short, shirred
sleeves stitched to narrow yolk. Fit
ting tight around the waist and hips,
the skirt falls away to the floor in
soft, rippling fullness. A sash in a
contrasting shade of chiffon and a

Influence
Of Courage
More Desirable Than
Pity in Time
of Need.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

NEVER say, poor child" Never
~ is a big word and one should be
chary in its use, but this time II is
tustified. Never say, poor cnlo
even when your heart is breaking with
sorrow at the plight Of an unfortunate
child. Struggle against that feeling
until YOU can master 1t. 1t will do
the child no good. and it is likely to
do him harm. 1t creates a feeling OF
self-pity in the sufferer, and that
feeling makes recovery slow and difn-
cult.
There are some extremely painful
facts in life. There are cruelties, in
Justice, great suffering, that fail upon
helpless children. Often they cannot
be avoided, sometimes they cannot be
cured. They have to be endured with
what grace one can muster. Stand
ing by such a suffering child one
must present a stanch front, not
the pale smile of forced gayety, not
the flimsy makeshift Of indifference
to the situation, but the stanch, firm
front of endurance, strength, courage.
Children know how we feel and
what we think. We can no more hide
our emotions from than we can dis
guise the tones of our voices. II We
are trembling on the verge OF tears,
If we are suffering in sympathy with
the sufferer, if we are deSpairing, he
knows it the moment we step into the
room, and his heart falls accordingly.
We have to stay out Of sight until we
have built up sufficient faith and
courage to face the thought OF the
child's af1iction.
Cast pity out. Pity is without hope
and hope is the first, fine strand OF
the cable we are going to help the
child weave to haul himself out of
this Slough Of Despond. Hope for
him. Push aside today's grief, and
reach out for tomorrow's hope and
hold fast to it for the child's sake.
When an illness passes, leaving a
lasting mark Of its passing, don't lose
hope. If he cannot walk again as
other children walk, If he cannot see
or hear, or play again as other children
play, there are other things for him
to do and he will do them. They will
make his life happier. Often they
enable him to overcome the worst OF
his handicap. Dwell on these things
and drive hard to accomplish them
for his good. Don't stop to say, ''You
can't walk So" He knows he can't
walk and he wants to know what he
can do. Hand him that. Fill your
own mind with cheer, as well as you
can, and he will take his cue from
you.
There will be hard hours. No use
denying that. They have to be faced
with what courage and hope you can
achieve for his sake. Stand by him anc
keep hoping for him. Bring some on,
to see him, some one who can laugh
Bring books, pictures, and pet fol
companionship. Many an ailing chile
has pulled through to some degree o.
health and happiness on the strength
Of a little dogs love.
But whatever you do, however you
suffer, don't say poor child" Don't
allow yourself to think it. Hope fol
him. Hope for yourself, and the day
will come when you both can smile al
the tragedy that has gone from you.

husband is always that his
wife doesn't understand him.
Il OF course, she doesn't. No
woman understands any man, and OF
all races, tribes, cults and sects OF
man none has so many curious pc
culiarities as husbands. Each Is a
cross word puzzle that his wife spends
her time from the altar to the grave
trying to work out, and among the
things that keep her guessing are
these:
Why a man is so different before
and after marriage that his wife
wouldn't know him for the same in
dividual If he didn't have his mar
riage license tag around his neck.
Why the man who before mar
riage spent hours telling her how
beautiful and wonderful she was and
how different from all other women,
and who complimented her upon the
way her hair was fixed and her taste
in dress, never mentions the state Of
his affections after marriage or no.

WHY the man her father had to
w practically throw out of the
| house before marriage in order to get

wants to spend an evening with him
after marriage.
Why q man can remember all OF
his sweetheart's tastes and her most
casually expressed desires, but hus-
band never knows what his wife likes
or wants and is as deaf as an adder
to all of her hints.
Why a man marries for home and
then spends as little time in 1t as
possible. Why a man marries girl
for one thing and then expects her to
be something totally different. Why
he picks out q Dumb Dora for a wife
and is bored by her because she isn't
brilliant. Why he marries a living
fashion plate and complains about
her dress bills. Why he selects a
career woman for wife and feels
that he has been stung because she
isn't a crackerjack cook.
Why husbands in general do not
| feel called upon to treat their wives
as If they were ladies and why they
say things to their wives that they
would not dream Of saying to their
stenographers or clerks or any wom-
an who has an able-bodied brother.

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Few amateurs realize how easy
it is to make many plants out
Of one, and thus increase their
supply. The secret is division Of
the root growth. Take the old
fashioned bleeding heart, for ex-
ample. At any time in August
It is possible to dig up a big
plant and cut off the stout 11eshy
roots within 3 inches or so Of the
crown. Enough root will be left
so that the plant will go on grow
ing when you set it back in the
ground. Divide the severed roots
into pieces 2 inches long and
plant them in a well-prepared
bed, 3 inches apart. BY next
Spring they will make large
enough plants so that you can
set them in their permanent
beds and get a wealth Of flowers.
It's an economical short cut.
