LOVeIOrn
Cold
Wife Says
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Famous authority on prob.
lens of loUe and mdrriGge.J
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We've been married six years,
and i am still devOtedly in love
with my husband, but he is so cold
and undemOnstrative that / doubt
if our marriage lasts. When ask
him if he loves me, he says that's
a fOOliSh question, that i ought
to know he does.
1T can't be my looks that makes
him so indifferent, as other men
admire me. But l don't want their
admiration; want my husbands
affection.
1--WE tried to be like him, hard
and SulIen, but it's difficult when
you care as much as / do. Some
times I think it would be best to
quit and leave him.
WORRIED"
This letter might be used as a
text for those husbands who deny
word of appreciation to their
wives, and seem to get a SadiStic
joy out of being consistently in
different.
If this lady should quit, as she
has considered doing, it would not
be a solution of her problem. The
better plan would be for her to
concentrate less on her appar-
emily unintereSted husband.
There is a whole world OF &C.
tivities open to the modern wom
an. Join a class: learn to
cook Gn the higher branches,
tap dance. sing, play an ac-
Gordon. study interior decora-
ton, bind books, repair old
manuscripts, or do any other of
the one hundred and one things
open to women today.
If you develop skill in any
one of these lines, you may be
able to earn a little money.
And believe me, my dear.
money in your own purse is a
great sweetener of life's prob
lens. Good luck.

TOOm.
Gould we use the after dinner
coffee cups with a light lunch
after cards or an evening Of enter
tainment? One wouldn't want
much to drink under such Circum-
stances.
"I would like to use the small
cup and spoon with a small sand
wich for a midnight snack. Would
this he prOper? "M."
Yes, it is proper to use the after
dinner coffee cups and small after
dinner coffee spoons when you are
serving coffee at table at an in
formal dinner. This little spoon
is not placed with the other silver
as you set your table. When it
comes time to serve the after
dinner coffee you would place the
tray with all the accessories for
serving the coffee before your place
at table, or have it on a serving
table at your right. On this tray
would be the cups and SaucerS, the
spoons, the coffee pot, the sugar
bowl and sugar tongs, cream
pitcher if you are to offer cream) .
2. Guests vary definitely as to
their choice of a large cup or a
small cup of coffee, on such occa-
sions as a lunch after bridge or
other entertainment or a mid
night snack" And hospitality
means that we give our guests
what they want, insofar as we are
able. So on these and similar occa-
sions we should offer both large

MARKING PRESENTS

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"WiIl you please tell me what
the proper way is to initial my
Silverware and linens? Should l
use my own initial or the initial
of my fiance? READER.
Every bride-to-be must decide
this question for herself. The con-
ventional form, usually chosen by
conservative brides, is to use the
initials of the maiden name, in
the marking of silver and linens
for the new home.
But many brides-elect prefer to
use the initials of their name-to-be.
It's a question of choice no
definite rule about it.

DANCING DIRNDL IN MODERN SETTING

THE DIRNDL Of the Tyrol
has inspired many new eve
ming gowns, and one of the
loveliest is this schiaparelli
copy, with the flattering
neckline. It makes a per-
feet bridesmaids gown for a
spring wedding, and it is
particularly noteworthy be-
cause it has the new ankle
length skirt. The dirndl
frock is of lace, in the most
entrancing shades. 1t is
photographed in coral, and
also comes In flame, brown,
dove gray, blue and white.
A lovely bridemaid's head
dress of blue tulle is shown
with it. For the name of
the store where you may find
it, call District 1000, Exten-
sion 459, during business
hours, or write Miss Laville
at The Times, enclosing self
addressed, stamped envelope.

SNOBBISH
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
$50 often in your column you
advise girls to entertain at home.
I'd love to do this, and my mother
is willing to let me, but / am
just afraid. I'm sure something
would go wrong, and the meal
would be a failure.
1--WE been to other girls houses
where they have nice little Sun
day night suppers, and they're
very popular. But the boys /
want to ask both live in better
homes than ours. and I'm afraid
they wouldn't enjoy themselves.
"MARY"
Whether you know it or not, my
dear Mary, you're a little snob.
The worst form of snobbishness is
the fear of offering our friends
and I mean friends-What we our
selves have daily. Every girl, not
utterly dumb, can learn to cook
and put on the table a decent Sun
day night supper. If you doubt
your culinary powers, go to the
Y. w. C. A. and join a cooking
class before you undertake to en-
tertain.
1t requires no great skill to pre-
pare mixed grill or a palatable
oyster stew, or salmon or veal loaf
in aspic jelly. or a dozen other
things, which people enjoy at
home more than in a restaurant.
And don't forget the Presidents
faYorite dish, scrambled eggs.

COMPANY MANNERS

SOhA EA4N l. NAAGN1NDINC
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"AS far back as / can remem-
her. no member of our family has
been on speaking terms with all
the others at the same time. Some
one is always mad with someone
else. When they make up, they
pull a feud on another member.
THE ring-leader is mother. But
she's peaches and cream to every
one, if there's company around.
She calls her children dear and
darling and when the company
goes, refuses to speak to dear and
darling of few minutes back.
Two of the boys have left
home, and it seems to me that
life is hard enough without turn
ing home into a hornets nest.
What do you think? How can 1
make my mother the woman she
appears to be in company?
MISS H."
The world is enough of a
hornets nest at the present time
without trying to start one in
miniature, on the side. 1t may
sound Pollyanna-iSh, but if fam
lilies can be courteous and ap-
preciatiVe, even if they do not
see eye to eye, the strain. of Iiv-
ing under one roof is considerably
leSsened.
To induce mother to transfer
her company manners to the home
circle would seem to require the
wisdom of Solomon.

 Overcast skies with snoWstorms aad blowing snow were general conditions over western Alaska al the morning airway observa- tioo while clear skies were ob- served between Ruby and Fair banks. Generally fair weather is reported along the Gulf and in southeastern Alaska while rainy and unsettled conditions obtain over Oregon, Washington and California.
 Higher temperatures are observ d in western and northwestern Alaska this morning while they are slightly lower along the Gulf.
 An intense area of low atmos- phe-ic pressure covers the Berang Sea and extends southeastward to the Pacific Coast. The lowest readings are charted west of St. Paul Island, Alaska. It is there fore likely that cloudy and un- settled weather with snow storms will continue for Nome and vic- inity during the next A hours with moderate to strong south- east wind.
 Not much change in tempera- ture IS indicated.
 The lowest Nome temperature last night was 2 above and the highest yesterday was 2o. Forty four inches of snow remain on the ground.

Sportsmanship And Good Feeling
 Fairbanks

The selection of Miss Nome, 2: the Fairbanks Ice Carnival, Thurs day night, brings hoyne the feel ing that Nome is literally pulling itself up by the bootsrape, and taking part in civic and ter-itor- ial affairs. Too much isolation for any city spo!k is spirit and much of the incentive Of its pop ulation.

that a proper heroine would have

would have debated with herself,
in tears, all through the night
that it might be better for him to
