Dorothy Dix Says
Don't Shut Yourself Away From the
World After You Are Married.

to throw away. Just as many good
business deals are put across dinner
tables as are over Office desks. Half Of
us go to this doctor when We are SICK,
or that lawyer when we need one, not
because he is superior to some other
doctor or lawyer, but because he be-
longs to some club We do, or We met
him at the jenkins party and took
fancy to him or because our wife likes
his wife. Perhaps if man had the
financial genius of a Morgan or
Rockefeller he might get somewhere,
even if he had no social contacts and
was human clam, but most of us
need to sell ourselves to as many peo-
pie as possible so that they will know
we are alive, and to have plenty of
friends plugging our game.
A man is simply silly and doesn't
know what is good for him when he
tries to keep his wife shut up in the
house all the. time and resents her be-
longing to clubs and going places. All
he achieves, if he succeeds in his plan,
is to make her as stupid and as unin-
teresting as he is himself, and to de-
prive himself of a companion who has
got something to talk about besides
the way the butchers meat has gone
up and the baby having the sniffles.
OF course, there should be modera-
tion in all things. A young married
couple should no more be perpetual
gadders than they should be Stick-in-
the-mudS, but once or twice a week
they should put on their glad rags and
step out to get a little fresh air and a
few new ideas.

heat waves rising up the way they do

"Old Hickory" Jackson's valiant de-

There was more point in going over
board on seasoning back in medieval
times when. according to the history
books, Europeans discovered that
spices from the East could be used to
cover up the fact that, without modern
refrigeration. their meats got too high
for even their abused palates When
Columbus started west looking for
India and places he had the idea of
short cut to the Spice Islands, which
were the source of so prosperous a
spice trade 500 years ago.
When VaSco da Cana went around
Africa and finally found himself in
India he had the same economically
sound idea. These crazy little vege-
tables, with crazy smells and tastes

turmeric. ginger, mace, nutmeg-sent
people across deserts in camel cara
vans, through typhoons. up against
pirates, fever and torture, just be-
cause the folks back home would
keep on paying high for something to
put a kick in the daily dish. The
Near East habit of seasoning meat
stews with cinnamon and the Hun
garian's idea of dropping caraway
seed into the goulaSh are modern
hang-overs of these days when any
old kind of seasoning was better than
none.
The modern housewife tends to for

ings than salt, pepper and maybe
dash of paprika over something to
make it look nicer. Every kitchen
ought to have bay leaves, black pep
per, mustard, curry powder, celery
salt and so forth. Use them with dis
cretion, and the effect on the family
will be like that of sudden burst of
sunshine on a dark day. And don't
forget that chiveS and garlic, as we'll
as the onion itself, are great cheerer-
uppers of food.

seasoning to break yourself in, try a

Grooming
Eyebrows
Necessary
Unkempt Appear
ance Results From
Stray "Wild" Hairs.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.


I'VE said it very often, but it bears
repeating, THE wise woman keeps
herself SO trim, so lovely that no mat
ter what fashions edict might be at
any given moment, no matter how in
consistent or changeable style trends,
she is never caught mapping"
Take the matter of skirt lengths in
their relation to lovely legs. The wom-
an whose limbs are lovely can 60 from
bathing suit to an evening dress
without qualm, or from a full-length
dinner gown to short-skirted sports
suit. That holds true for short -sleeved
and long-sleeved dresses or dresses
sans sleeves in their relationship to
beautiful arms. Again I say, the Wom-
an with foresight keep every part of
the beauty ensemble right up to mark
so that there is no frantic last-minute
preparation to meet the beauty needs
of fashion.
Right now we're thinking particu-
larly Of the brow and forehead. The
upward movement in hair styles, the
pomp effects and inverted rolls that
make us look so beautifully dignifed,
SO much the grard lady, are concen-
trating their beauty high above the
brow. This means that the brow had
better be beautiful, too, in order to
flll its place in the picture. The best
advice one can give about beautifying
the brow is: Keep it Clean" By
clean" we mean wedding out the wild
hairs.
A groomed brow Is very important
to the finished picture" And FIN
ished" is just about the word that
describes the beauty standards of to-
day. A very heavy brow looks mas
cullne and has an effect of coarsen-
ing the face. On the other hand. a
very thin brow robS the face of ex-
preston. But worst of all is the brow
with little wild hairs growing out of
march-above and below the natural
browline. The other day I saw a
brow that was quite thin and sparse.
ana the hairs grew every which way,
giving it very unkempt appearance.
In spite of its thinnesS, the wild hairs
were tweezed out. With the help of
an eyebrow pencil the brow was made
to look a little heavier, darker and, of
course, smoother and finished"
Once you master the mack of tweez-
ing out the little offenders it becomes
very simple matter, indeed. 1t won't
take more than a minute c. two every
day or two. It's a good little habit
to form.
Light brows should be darkened-
there's little expression to light brows.
But blonds should not make the mis-
take OF using black brow pencil. Brown
Is the better color for them.

Lashes," is full of helpful hints. Send

Pockets
Essential
To Youth
Contents Should Be
Carefully Sorted
Over Occasionally.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

going to school need
pockets in their clothes. They
should carry clean handkerchiefs
preferably paper ones, and, according
to their grades, some bits of neces-
sary equipment such as fountain pens,
erasers, a change purse.
The little ones in the beginning
grades like to carry load of things
to school. They will gather all the
books they can get, pencil box; the
fuller the better, any balls, toys and
whatnots they can manage to stow
away. They carry these in plain sight
for the most part and their pockets are
not such a problem. First because
they are too small to carry all they
want to carry, and, second, because
most of their chattels are too large
for openings of the tiny Sits. A look
over before they start is usually suf-
ficient to ease that difficulty.
The children Of the third and
fourth grades, especially the boys, are
the ones whose pockets have to be
watched, sorted, kept clear Of all that
does not belong to a full school day.
No loose marbles should be allowed
because they have the unfortunate
habit Of rolling across the floor in the
middle Of q very serious lesson. No
chewing gum, no candy is to be lodged
there because they have the habit
Of lodging in a corner Of the face,
the one that shows most in auditorium
when there are guests on the plat
form. Neither are there to be any
bottle caps, bits Of chalk, strings be-
yond the one piece considered essen
tial, scraps Of paper, cards of any de-
scription, whistles. miniature toys,
nails, bolts and odd bits of plumbing.
Nor any Of the other choice possess
sions of this age Of acquisitiveness.
Small boys seek comfort from their
pocket pieces. When the lessons press
too hard, or the time between opening
and first recess stretches out endlessly,
the feel of q familiar pebble, whatnot
or jimcrack Is soothing. Its touch
charms the weary prisoner. He is lost
to all about him until the teacher
calls sharply. Sleeper, answer the
question" Sleeper starts, his hand
Jerks, out come his treasures to be-
tray him. They roll across the floor
in thunder sounds, they seem to cover
the entire floor. Pick that up," says
the teacher in a voice that would
freeze quicksilver. Poor Sleeper
crawls after his belongings, his ears
crimson, his head whirling. "Put that
in the basket" is the fatal blow.
Countless are the rows that have been
started by just this simple situation.
As q last measure Of precaution
take look at the pockets Of the chill
dren about to start for school. Order
all toys, all treasures of rowing dispo-
sition, all destructive material like
crayon and glass and razor blades
anything that is not essential to q
days work in school-left In q safe
place. II one begins with the little
ones there will be little difficulty with
the older ones.
There is always an exception to
every situation. Good sense will allow
that exception, just as it disallows the
pocketful of junk that Is certain to
cause trouble.

j Nv Venile
Attendant
At Wedding
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Can a girl of
Is take any part in a small church
wedding? The bride is having only a
maid of honor, and there is also to
be best man. Also there is brother
in the family, about Is, and If you
can find a place for the girl will you
also try to include the boy?
AnSwer-As there is to be a maid
OF honor, this means one attendant
walking alone Under these particu-
lar circumstances, think it would be
best to let the boy of Is and the girl
of 13 together precede the maid Of
honor. If the bride were having
bridesmaids, then the young girl
would walk by herself in front of
them, and the boy would probably
walk alone in front of the ushers.
nEAR MRS. POST: Last Summer
asked young relative of my
f1ance to be bridesmaid. Since then
we have not seen much of each other
and in fact are not overfriendly. Must
I remind her again about the we'd
ding, or may I take it for granted
that she wouldn't care to take part
now?
Answer-This situation is very diff
flcult for any one to answer who
doesn't know all the circumstances.
If there is a real GOODNESS between
you, perhaps the best thing to do
would be to say nothing, and since
you do not tell her where she Is to
get her dress and hat or make any
definite engagement to meet you to
choose her things, she can't very well
be bridesmaid. If she says to you
later that she doesn't think it was
very nice Of you to invite her to be
bridesmaid and then forget it, you
would necessarily answer that you
didn't think that she cared enough
for you any more to be your brides
maid.
DEAR MRS. POST: am the BRIDE
to-be's brother and am five years
younger than my sister? May I walk
with her or would my being so much
younger many any difference?
Answer-If the bride has no father
or if for any reason he cannot walk
with her, then it is always very
sweet thing to have her brother, even
though half-grown boy, take her up
the aisle.

short time and the question
- of going about a bit and keep
ing up our old friendships has risen

wouldn't ever want any society but

ciable nature. I like good times and
I think that for complete happiness
we have to have outside interests and
friends regardless of how much we
love each other. Which one of us in
right? PUZZLED WIFE.
Answer-You are, absolutely! No
young couple can make greater mis-
take than by turning hermitS at the
beginning of their married life. Friends
and outside interests are the salt that
gives SAVIOR to life after marriage just
as much as it did before marriage, and,
IL yOu lCdhC O0b, JOA WAL oOSAA
find that domesticity is not your dish,
as the English say.
The theory that a husband and wife
should be all and all to each other,
that they need no society other than
their own and should confine all their
interests to the four walls of their
home is the most misleading propa-
ganda that was ever preached. 1t has
led many misguided youngsters who
embraced it to the divorce courts. Be-
cause no two people in the world who
are thrown solely upon each other for
companionship can keep from boring
each other to death or from quarreling
just to put a little pep into their con-
verSation.

A IL of the records Of people ma
rooned on desert islands or in
snow-blocked cabins in the mountains
tell Of how they came to hate each
other. You will recall that the reason
Admiral Byrd gave for going of alone
to his igloo at the South Pole was be-
cause he knew no two men could spend
months alone together without getting
unbearably on each others nerves.
The same thing happens in home
life. The husband and wife who cut
themselves OF from other companion
ship, who never step out Of an evening,
who have no friends who ever drop in
for a game of cards or a chat, soon
find that they have talked out, and
that they are spending their evenings
sitting up in a silence that is as thick
and uninspiring as pea soup. They
have told each other every thing they
know, and heard all of each others
Jokes a thousand times. Between
yawns they are thinking that if they
had known that marriage was going to
be as dull and tiresome as this wild
horses could not have dragged them to
the altar.

Bring it up to boil and then turn
