Dorothy Dix Says
Remarriages Successful Due
To a Better Understanding.

matically turned them back into the
gay and care-free boy and girl they
were before they married. There is
the wreck they have made of part of
their lives that no court decree can
obliterate. There are the ruins of the
home they have pulled down with
their own hands. There are the be-
wildered and frightened and unhappy
children. There are the memories Of
virtues as well as faults; Of tender
ness and kindnesses and sacrifices as
well as Of harshness, strife and faults.
We often need to get away from
those with whom We live so We may
get perspective on them that enables
us to realize their good points, and
divorce gives this to many people.
When man has his nerves no longer
rubbed raw with his wife's nagging
and fretting he can appreciate how
loyal she was and what a helpmate
and what comfortable home she
made for him. When a wife gets far
enough away from her husbands Pc
culiarities and aggragating little ways,
and even from his occasional side
stepping, she can realize that with
all his faults thick upon him he put
meaning into her life. and that even
bad husband is better than no hus-
band at ALL
So it is that the divorced couples
often come to know that their divorce
was a mistake, that they really love
each other and are necessary to each
other. When they do so, the second
marriage is generally success because
they go into it q wiser man and
woman, chastened by their experience.

and then repair work has to be re-
sorted to.
Dampness and bugs are real enc
mics of books, that often are not no.
ticed or even thought about, until it is
too late. OF course. in most cities,
people are not troubled with excessive
dampneSS, but homes on the fogbound
seacoast, must be heated to keep the
house dry. otherwise the pages and
bindings will warp, as we'll as fall
apart due to the glue and paste dis
solving from the excessive moisture in
the air.
Overheated homes, where the air is
dried of all moisture, is equally hard
on books, killing the life" of the pa
per and leather, making them brittle
and liable to crack and break To
avoid this, see that your home is
equipped with humidifiers so that the
hot air will absorb the water. You
should have these in your home any,
way for your own health, as well as
for the books.
THE various types Of insect life
that like to make meal off books
are a little more difficult to handle,
although exposure to the sunlight for
48 hours will often do the trick, as
these pests are never fond of the
sun. However, If they have left eggs
or larvae, more drastic steps are nee
essary, such as fumigation. Before
this is done make certain that the gas
or spray will not injure leather and
paper. The majority of gases are
ruinous to leather and most sprays
will spot the paper, SO take all pre-
cautions.
The process of oiling is a very SIM
pie one and may be done at home by
any one interested in handling books
with care. Go to an expert and OBJ
tain from him the best oils to use,
then carefully rub them on the leather
and leave for several hours or even
over night. Then polish with soft
cloth. Any expert in handling books
will be glad to tell you what to use or
you may purchase book on the sub
ject. The leather will absorb the Oil
and the wax in the mixture will give
it polish that shows up the color
and grain of the leather.
Book lovers may learn to do their
own repair work, but before attempting
this I would suggest that they pur-
chase one of the many excellent books
on the repair as we'll as the care of a
library. Of course if your editions are
very valuable and the repairs necessary
are of delicate nature, put them in
the hands of an expert workman.
Spring and Fall are the seasons for
house cleaning and moving, which all
seems very simple as far as the books
are concerned, but busting, if done i'm
properly, can be of more harm to the
books than if the dust we're left on. AS
for moving, every one says "Oh, just
pack the books in boxes" and lets it
go at that. This is very wrong, for the
packer who is not interested in rare
editions will probably let a few slip
and drop on the floor, which is one of
the worst fates that can befall book,
or will try to squeeze too many into
box and the stress and strain will be
ruinous.
Entrust the care of your library only
to some one that you know loves books
and will handle them in the proper
fashion.

BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I've just read in
your column in my newspaper
about the young step-grandmother's
difficulty. I am not step-grand-
mother, nor a young woman worried
at the thought of being called grand
mother, but I believe my own exper-
ience as a grandmother will be inter-
esting to her and perhaps to others.
can, not explain when or how it all
came about that my four grandchil-
dren began calling me Dear" but I
am Dear" to them and to their
father-my son-in-law. And don't
have to add that like 1t.
Answer-Of course you like it! I
would too.
DEAR MRS. POST: I have watched
your column to learn what /
want to know about teas, but the
questions have always been those from
hostesses rather than from the guests.
Never have I seen anything IN par
ticular about how to take leave. If
the hostess and her guest of honor are
still receiving arriving guests when
I feel that I must leave, am ex-
pected to 60 back to say good-by to
the hostess and her guest of honor or
just leave. The very idea of the
latter rather embarrasses me. I
should think 1t would give one a
feeling of dscourtesy since I have al
ways felt that the least one could do
was to express some appreciation.
And yet on different occasions l have
noted your answer to some one ask
ing about receiving lines, which was
that "once down the receiving line
was sufficient"
Answer-At very large tea
really a reception-where there is a
cue, and where the invitati tions are so
general that the hostess half the time
may not know her guests by sight, it
is better to leave without attempting
to cross the incoming line Of people
and to reintroduce oneself III order
to say good-by. If the guest should
encounter the hostess in the hall, she
naturally thanks her for having been
invited and says good-by. At small
tea In house of a friend, one al
ways shakes hands and says, "Thank
you for very pleasant afternoon" :"
For that matter, it is probable that
the guests stop for few moments
conversation with their hostess be-
fore leaving. The "walk-out- without
saying good-by' rule applies only to
very formal party that is also q
crush.

Child Needs
Teachers
Strength
Relationship Must
Be Free of Fear
On Both Sides.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

MY HEART sinks whenever I hear
teacher or parent say and
proudly, too, I'll make him do it,
You leave him to me. know how
to make him do it." I know at once
that knowledge of how to get child
to do what he ought to do is about
the last quality this person possesses.
Nobody who understands the growth
of children says anything like that.
Nobody who understands children's
needs thinks like that.
Nobody can make a child do any,
thing that matters in the least. Com
pulsion of the body leaves the mind
free, fighting for freedom, resolved
on freedom. 1t is possible to silence
childs voice; it is possible to sub
Que his body and compel his tongue
ton. But such treatment leaves the
child in worse state than before
Either he is completely wrecked and,
therefore, without possibility of
growth or he is set in rebellion. He
cannot be made to do anything worth
while.
But he can be led to do wonders.
Teaching is never a matter Of i'm
position, or force, or will. 1t is ac-
complished by the spiritual COM
munion of two minds, teacher and
taught. When the line of COM
munication between the two minds is
open, when the mind Of the pupil
lends itself to the thought that flows
from the teacher toward him, he takes
what is offered him and makes it his
own forever. So he learns.
What makes a child's mind open
to that of his teacher? I don't know.
I have found that whenever the
teacher likes a child, whenever the
relationship between them is free of
fear on both sides, whenever they
trust each other, all goes we'll and the
child learns easily and holds fast to
what is good. The minute that rela-
tionship is disturbed by fear or dislike
or suspicion, the learning stops. And
nothing is going to start it again until
the right relationship is restored.
The teacher who prides herself or
himself on being master in the class
room sets the stage for trouble. No
such attitude can truly succeed with
children. I have known it to pro-
duce some good marks in arithme-
tic, but they were accompanied by
hate and fear, and you will agree with
me that those qualities do not make
for the education of youth. Better
results can be obtained without the
iron hand, the grim jaw and the rau-
cous voice.
What is needed between teachers
and children, and between parents and
children, is the calm, everyday accept
ance OF each others way of being
happy, a strong desire to like each
other, a true wish to be Of service to
each other, and in this the adult is the
leader He has all the power of the
material world at his hand, while
the child must rely on his spirit to
see him through.
Be gentle to children. Have pity
Tor their weakness. Lend them your
strength and try to keep your own
weaknesses from hindering their
growth. Be strong for them, like
them, point the way and they will
follow you gladly. But don't try to
Make them!" It cannot be done.

he could suggest to them the best
ways of preparing these same cuts so
that they would be juicy and tender.
For instance, how often do you
serve flank steak? This is an economy
cut of beef which you will be glad to
add to your list, if it isn't already
there.
Like many other of the less
demanded cuts, flank steak is fine
in flavor and rich in food value. Be-
cause it contains more connective
tissue, it requires long, slow cooking
in moist heat.
X
ONE advantage of flank steak Is
that it can be very conveniently
stuffed and served with dressing.
Dressing Is not only good in itself,
but 1t too is an economy idea for it
makes the favor of the meat go fur
ther. There are many different dress
ines which can be used with flank
steak. Your favorite bread dressing
will do very well. Pork sausage is
another dressing which goes well with
flank steak, the fat of the pork blend

per cent of divorced couples
remarry? And what success do they
manage to attain in their second VEN
ture? E. r.
AnsWer-A great many divorced
couples remarry and these marriages
are generally successful, because both
the husband and wife have had their
lesson and have found out that If they
were unhappy together they are still
more miserable apart.
A great many people wreck their
homes in gusts of temper, with as
little thought of the consequences as
a peeved child knocks down its house
Of cards. The husband and the wife
get into the quarreling habit They
nag. at each other until neither can
say word that doesn't start a fight.
They make life miserable for each
other and they think the only way
they can find peace and happiness is
by getting divorce.
Or perhaps the husband grows tired
of the monotony and domestiSity and
of wife who is so absorbed in the
children that she has lost sight of the
fact that he is man who wants to
be amused and entertained and made
love to, so he philanders bit. The
wife in her anger and resentment, out
ragged pride and jealousy, rllshes off to
the divorce court.
But they find that divorce is not
the cure-all for all their ills that they
though it would be. 1t has not auto

be lonely or bored with himself.
Of course, We all like to keep up
with the modern books and authors,
but every library should be built
around collection of old classics.
Many people are fortunate enough to
have had handsome sets left to them,
while others will have to purchase
them. The book stores carry hand
somely bound editions of all the
famous classics. or if you prefer the
covers to have that "old world" look,
then wander about the various sec
ond-hand book shops, looking for sets
that are in good condition.
Inspect the bindings carefully be-
fore making your purchase. If they
are broken and very badly worn don't
take the volume, unless it happens to
be a very rare edition. which is un-
likely. The reason for this is that re-
binding is expensive, and restoration
virtually impossible at that stage.
NO MATTER whether books are
old or new, they all need at
tention, if you want them to remain
in good condition. Start with new
books by oiling them at least once a
year and more often if necessary
Don't wait for them to get dried out
and old. If properly handled and
taken care of they will last for CEN
turies.
The first thing to remember is to
handle them carefully. for many a
book is ruined by the way it is
opened. Then carefully place them on
book shelf sufficiently wide to hold
the books properly. in an upright po-
sition, or fiat on their sides. Never
crowd them on the shelves, as that
causes friction and rubs the leather.
Also. never let books sag on the
shelves, leaning against each other.
If you haven't sufficient number to
fill the shelves properly, then place
book ends to hold them in position.
If book, especially large, heavy
one, rests on the fore edges, the text
will be pulled away from the back

need. Just wash the floor with a good
1ather OF soap and water and rinse
1t of with plenty of clear water. If
it's been waXed, of course you'll have
to wash it with turpentine to get that
off. Next STEP smooth out all the
rough spots with sandpaper. Then,
using a good varnish brush, give the
surface two coats of varnish. The two
coats will give you an extremely
tough, wear-reSisting finish and are
more economical in the long run.
AS you apply the varnish, first use
strokes with the grain of the wood,
secondly against the grain, and then
with only a slightly moist brush,
again with the grain. In that way
you've reached every crevice and
every single portion of the wood. And
remember, good varnish won't chip,
or scratch white or discolor with
either hot or cold water, so be care
full and get good recognized brand.
The best is not costly.
