RElNG q newspaper woman, Mrs.
Caswell has to put up at times
with irregular hours, and she will
doubtless enjoy the Cuban system
OF working, eating and eniovine
oneself at all times of the day. Nobody
thinks of having dinner before 7:3o or
8 pm, and the shows in the theaters
are timed accordingly. Cubans are
great movie-goers, enjoying the same
pictures that we do, and every movie
has Gran presentation de moda !"
which starts at 9 or $50, at which the
house is packed Go in earlier and
you will find plenty of empty seats.
Just what this does to Cuban house.
Keeping schedules I wouldn't know
But then, the Cubans didn't impress
me as people who would worry in
tensely about a housekeeping schedule
There is much advice which / could
give to a visitor to Havana, if the
visitor wasn't Womans Page Editor.
For instance, to visit the Tropical
Gardens, one OF the most beautiful
spots in the city. However, these
gardens surround brewery, and
there is a place in them where beer
is served free, with the brewery's
compliments. I might also suggest
finding out If the Ell Inferno Night
Club is still open, and If that 175-
pound dancer is still trying to do the
rhumba. But such matters are not
for the sacred precincts of the Wom-
ans Page. However, in all serious
ness I would suggest an automobile
trip into the city's suburbs. The
countryside around Havana really
looks as the tropics are supposed to,
and the country homes with their
Towering gardens, the roads lined
with royal palms, and the sleepy little
villages are like something out of
story book
I liked it all. Havana is a great
town; and the trip will undoubtedly
do Mrs. CasWell world of good It
may even do her too much good Who
can tell what effect Havana will have
on her? After she gets back she
is liable, in the midst Of q column,
to break out into "reminiscences Of
that evening at the Casino Nacional,
or the wonderful lunch she ate on
that trip to Matanzas. She may
return with pair of castanets con-
cealed about her person, which she
will get out and keep time on as
she pounds her typewriter, humming
snatches of THE Peanut Vender" the
while. Strange tropical dishes are
likely to crop out on the page, with
the explanation that this is little
thing I learned to make In Havana"
We may be told how to serve papaya
salad-we should, as it tastes swell
We may even hear Of the merits of

All this, however, is mere imag-
lining of an alarmist nature, and 1t Is
quite possible that none Of it will
come to pass. Let us hope so. 1t

Early manuscripts speak of red, white
ana plue hounds. Color didn't seem
to matter either. Another Gaelic
writer tells Of his favorite hound being
the gentlest sleeper of all his bed fell

IN thoSe days. Hounds slept, ate and
hunted with their owners. When
tribes came to blows they fought right
alongside OF their respective warriors
and did little free-for-all biting.

FOR Havana is like that. It is a per-
lect place for vacation-a foreign
city at our very doors, clean, spotless,
picturesque, endowed with a charm
that makes a lasting impression on
any one who visits it. I was there 10
years ago and still look back on my
short stay with pleasure. OF course
there may have been some changes
since that time-a few bullet holes

and so on. But even so, it's we'll

with the gilded dome of the Presi-

1t doesn't look real. It's like the

THE Woman's Page Editor will
probably buy a lot of souvenirs
to bring back home. Most visitors do
especially the feminine ones. The
shopping section is down in the older
part of the town, where the streets are
so narrow that two automobiles can't
pass in them; in consequence, they are
the original one-way streets. The store
awnings from each side overlap each
other, giving the street the appearance
of an Oriental bazaar The selling
methods are Oriental, too. There is
no set price for anything; a prospec-
tive buyer offers half as much as he
expects to pay, and the merchant asks
twice as much as he expects to get.
When the haggling is over and the
sale Is made, the buyer thinks that he
has a bargain, and the merchant
thinks he gypped the customer. So
every one is satisfied.

This correspondent was doing his

lace or not to lace"-tightly-was an
international problem. BY 1870 the
discussion had reached such propor-
tlons that the views expressed through
the columns of women's magazines
were reprinted in London in a volume
entitled The Corset and the Crino-
line The preface to this timely work
explains that the leading journals
especially intended for the perusal OF
ladies have been for many years the
media for the exchange of a vast num-
Der of letters and papers touching the
use OF the corset" The compilers of
the work, however, want to remain
strictly neutral in the matter, merely
performing the part of the public's
own correspondent and desiring to
set forth corset history.

THERE'S nothing new under the

OF the corset, whose origin can be
traced as far back as the belt from
which the savage hung his hunting
knife. Held together with laces or
thongs, in the normal course Of events
it took on more and more ornamental

diminutive of the Latin word corpus

~ EAR MISS DIX: Don't you
think there is scarcity OF
J good husbands? I am a
woman Of 20, good enough
looking, intelligent enough and we'll
enough educated, up-to-date enough,
and wish to marry. But when I look
around among the men I know I do
not find one who looks as good to me
as my job does. Also, when look
around among my married friends
envy none OF them their husbands. In
our grandmother's time good husbands
were apparently plentiful At any
rate, all the girls married and divorce
was almost unheard Of. but nowadays
the supply of good husbands seems to
have petered out. What's the reason?
PAULINE.
Answer: The supply Of good hus-
bands and good wives has never equal
ed the demand. That Is one CON-
modify that has always been as scarce
as hens teeth. That is why their
price has always been above rubies.
Wnether there are 1eWer good hus-
bands In these days than in the past is
moot question. Possibly the reason
that more girls married then than now
Is not because good husbands were 80
plentiful that they were to be picked
up like shells on seashore, but be-
cause the girls in those days were not
50 choosey as they are now. A hus-
band then was a necessity and not a
luxury, as he is now, so girls took
what they could get and made the best
Of 1t, however far it fell beneath their
ideals.
OF course, we like to idealize Grand
pa and hold him up as a model of all
the virtues, but as q matter Of fact
Grandpa was just as much of philan-
derer as grandson; he was just as
much addicted to drink; Grandma had
just as much trouble getting q little
money out of him, If he was tight
wad, as granddaughter does out Of her
close listed spouse. And Grandpa
gallivanted off just as often OF an eve
ming as grandson steps out, leaving his
wife to her lonesome.
Evening star., 1937-03-13
PERSONALLY am persuaded that

PERSONALLY, I am persuaded that
there Is nothing in which there
has been such a great improvement
made in modern times as in husbands;
that the husband of today is just as
much superior to his grandfather as
the up-to-date bathroom is to the
Saturday night tub in the kitchen or
the electric range is to the wood cook
stove. Grandpa, for instance, thought
woman's place was in the home after
she got married and that all the diver
sion she needed was having babies
and seeing that he was we'll fed and
made comfortable.
He never dreamed OF such a thing
as making her his partner in his
pleasures and sports. Grandpa grab
bed all Of grandma's property, if she
had any, when they were married and
she never saw it again. In any case,
he doled out what he saw fit to give
her and would have dropped dead at
the very suggestion of making her an
allowance. And grandpa talked to
grandma in way that no modern
husband would dare do to wife who
would put on her hat and 60 back to
her old Job If she wasn't treated po-
litely at home.
But it Is the rare modern husband
who doesn't treat his wife as an equal;
who doesn't give his wife an allow
ance; who doesn't generally consider
that she has a right to a fifty-fifty
split in the perquisites of the holy
estate.
The reason why there are so few
good husbands is easy to explain. 1t
is because human nature is human ma
ture and there are so few men, or
women, either, for that matter, who
are capable of loving any one but
themselves; so few who are unselfish
and loyal and patient and kind and
understanding Any girl who wants
to marry has to take husbands "as is"
and risk the gamble.
