That's where the scratch comes In.
Nails help a canine get a grip on
things. Hard surfaces wear them
down. Activity on grassy turfs urges
them forth to grow. Proper balance
of underfooting furnishes free canine
manicure. Every time Pups takes a
nice long walk, with a hard surface
here and there. he's attending to his
grooming. Enough activity and very
few appointments are needed at the
beauty parlor. A bit of attention now
and then, and all's we'll!
Not so with Fif1 of the sofa cushions.
She never gets sufficient exercise. A
touch of breeze here. Half a block of

duct does to her figure is scandalous.
Of course, chocolate creams add quite
bit, but every dog has sweet toothl
It's the house dog who has little run
ming that needs foot attention. Nails
don't get a chance to wear down. II

her board of control is suspicious Of
its locality. Feet and paws begin to
resemble the standing apparatus of

Regular canine manicure will do
much to keep dog underpinning In

the tips of the nails should come off.

Dorothy Dix Says
Ifa Husband Is Worth Having,
He Is Worth Fighting For.

women enticing their husbands away
from them. and all they do is just
wiring their hands instead of getting
them into the other woman's hair and
preventing her from getting away with
her crime.
Somehow it seems to give woman
an inferiority complex to be a wife.
1t makes her feel that she can't COM
pete with her rival. She may know
herself to be just as good-looking. more
interesting, more charming, more OF
her husbands type than the other
woman, yet she is paralyzed by the
obeession that being married to a
man is a handicap that wife cannot
overcome, and that all that she can
do is just to drop out Of the race as
gracefully as she can and take what
ever alimony the courts will allow her.
All of which is stuff and nonsense.
In reality the wife has all Of the
trump cards in her hands. and If she
doesn't beat her opponent at her game
it is because she is too dull and stupid
or because she is too inefficient and
cowardly to do so. To begin with, she
has all the organized forces of society
at her back. Mrs. Grundy is on her
side. Men are far more conventional
than women. They dread scandal
more, and it takes lot of urging on
the other woman's part to make one
face what people say about the man
who deserts his wife and children for
charmer. And we'll he knows that
it doesn't do him any good at the bank
or raise his stock in the business
world.
And, finally, in the wife's favor is
the fact that men don't like change,
even In wives. They don't want their
homes broken up and to have to make
a new circle of acquaintance and
friends and to have to adjust them
selves to q new wife and q new set
OF in-laws.
And so, nine times out Of ten. the
wife could get her husband back If
she would put up f1ght for him and
show him that she was better woman
than the woman he was currently in
terested In. And why more women
don't do 1t passes comprehension.

keep in mind for Springtime parties,
and for those outdoor occasions that
are so popular on the cooler nights of
the Summer.
A certain gentleman here in town,
who is famed for his hospitality and
the gayety of his informal and un-
usual parties, decided month or so
ago that he would like to take ad-
vantage of the crisp early Fall days to
have picnic cookery right at home.
He proceeded to draw himself up a
little plan-bearing in mind all the
while that the main objection to out
door culinary activities lies in the
prevalence of unwanted smoke and
eshes-and having got his idea firmly
planted on paper, went a-hunting for
material.
THIS, as 1t turned out, could be
found at amazingly low cost, in
the piles of old scraps collected by
wrecking companies. Nice, mellow
bricks, an old oven door complete with
damper; broken natural stone and a
sheet of battleship armorplate, thick
and strong enough to withstand the
onslaught of the flames for years
on end!
These spoils the gentleman bore
proudly home. In his spare time he
worked merrily away at the foot of the
grape arbor in his back yard" First
of all he had to add concrete mixture
to his finds, for his mighty oven had
to rest upon deep-set. solid base.
This was dug out. nodded, and left
to set until good and firm. Then the
oven of bricks was built-the bricks
on the floor of which were left unmor-
Evening star., 1937-10-23

tared, for easier cleaning and repair
purposes. Heavy sand was sifted over
and between these bricks, thus holding
them firm and in position.
Inside f1ues wer. made of brick, and
the outside of the structure composed
of rough, natural stone and more brick.
The thick sheet of armor-plate fitted
smoothly over practically the entire
top of the oven. and the smoke was to
be carried happily away through the
tall, rough chimney. we'll out Of ones
eyes and the cooking food.
In front of the oven door broad
hearth of concrete was laid, 50 that
any one doing the cooking would not be
standing on damp ground, or wearing
a hole in the neatly-kept grass plot.
4
A ND now the treasure was completed
and ready for trial! A roaring
fire of logs soon heated the arnor- plate
sheet to a red-hot glow: at one end a
steaming pot of green corn hissed and
boiled away; at the other 2-inch-
thick steak grilled snappily, hurting
tempting aromas into the air to vie
with those coming from the bubbling
coffee pot in the center. What .
feast! Out in the open. under the blue
october sky, with appetites mounting
every second, and the crisp tang Of Au-
tumn whipping ones cheek to rosy
glow! And no smoke. no ashes. no
long motor trip-a perfect picnic in
every sense of the word!
For the practical-minded, this oven
serves another useful purpose. Be-
sides being drawing card. Hospitality
speaking, it may also serve as an in
cinerstor during the colder months
when picnics are not very popular!
Trash, dead leaves, weeds. and similar
refuse can be tossed into its capacious
NAV, and utterly consumed, with no
muss or fuss. There Is no danger of
your burning leaves drifting casually
across the fence to light on your
neighbor's roof; and no time has to be
spent watching the flames.
It's fun to build, and fun to use-and
will prove a very helpful addition to
your menage And, of course, further
and fancier development of the original
theme lies entirely within your control
You might build stone or brick benches
and tables near the oven or surround
1t with groups of rustic furniture. Then
your outdoor playroom would really
be complete!

~ EAR MISS DIX am law
yer. Not long ago a woman
came to see me for the pur-
- pose of getting divorce be-
cause of another woman. She had
two children and she said that her
husband was very fond of them. Also.
she told me that her husband didn't
know that she knew of his infdelity.
OF course, her vanity was cut, she was
hysterical and wanted to punish him,
and divorce was the only thing that
would satisfy her. I persuaded her
not to take hasty action as long as
her husband didn't know what she was
doing. Then I told her that she was
in a contest to see whether or not she
could win him back and stop the other
woman from stealing him. I asked
her if he was worth fighting for and
if she was going to take licking lying
down? I reused her pride and her
fighting blood. The battle was on,
and she won out. She is now su-
premely happy, her marriage and her
home saved. If there is nothing funda-
mentally wrong wife can triumph
over the other woman in vast majority
of cases if she will face the issue and
set about her task in the right way.
But most of them give up without even
striking blow for their homes. They
sit supinely by and let some gold
digger, who is looking for security,
steal their husbands from right under
their eyes. H. C. B.
Answer: I hope that every woman
who is bedewing her pillow with tears
and planning to take the children and
go back to mother because her hus-
band has fallen for the come-on line
of some adventures, who tells him how
handsome and young he is and that
his wife doesn't appreciate him. will
read these words of wisdom from a
famous lawyer and act upon them
forthwith, Immediately, at once.

IT is one of the marvels Of feminine
psychology that wives so tamely

very latest and sr11artest, as well as
the "loudest" letter paper comes in
chartreuse green, with a maroon
colored border, with your monogram
or your name In maroon. OF course.
II you Just want dash Of color, you
can have white or gray, with the
borders in vivid shades.
A great many of the papers have
the top fold narrower than the bot
tom, giving two contrasting borders
that is most effective. II you own
yacht, get the white paper that has
red border on the top fold and blue
on the bottom, then have your two
pennants crossed at the top in place
of your monogram.
Tan paper is also very smart. with
a border of light and dark brown.
Have your initials In block letters of
the two tones to match the border. If
you are partial to powder blue (the
way / AMI, you will find a wide selec-
tion of size and shades as we'll as some
with colored borders. Have your
monogram of the same shade as the
border.
IN THE old days only crest or
monogram was held in good taste,
but today it is permissible to have
your full name written diagonally
across the left-hand corner of the
letter paper.

to have your address in the right
hand corner and a small telephone in
the left-hand corner with your phone
number. Perhaps you have lovely
place outside of the city, that requires
that your friends without cars take
a train. In this case have a miniature.
"choo-choo,'' with the name Of the
station where they are to disembark.
In this way there will be no mistake,
getting off at the wrong station and
waiting hours for the hostess. while
she is waiting at another station,
wondering if her guests have forgotten
about the week end. This form is
particularly popular on Long Island,
where the stations are so close
together.
Every home should have paper
that will be correct for all occasions
and may be used by every member
of the household. There are only two
that serve this purpose-either white
or gray, with your crest in the center
or your street address. The address
may be in deep shade of gray, mid
night blue or Yale blue. This type
is correct for men and women, old and
young, as well as for most purposes.
When purchasing your paper. get
the note size as well as the letter size,
Evening star., 1937-10-23

but be sure that they both fit into
the same size envelope, as this will
have your nerves and money. Moth
ing is so upsetting as to have your
note written, only to find that you
are "out" of the correct size en-
velope. If you slip 1t into the larger
envelope you will be Immediately
branded as poor manager!
CALLING { cards are another thing
the entire family should have of
the same paper and color Nothing
looks worse than to leave stack"
of cards, each of different color
and texture. The newest and smart
est shade for this purpose, as we'll as
for invitations, Is called natural"
This is difficult to describe, as it is
between" white and ivory. It lacks
the yellow tone of ivory, but has a
warmth that white never has. Also
use the same type of engraving on all
the cards.
Have envelopes to fit your cards.
You will find that they are very
handy when inclosing your card with
flowers or with a gift.
Another item that is very con-
venient is the folded card with your
name and address on the top side of
the fold. The same plate that is
used for your calling card is used for
this. These cards are very nice to Use
as invitations for an informal after
noon party, or If you have invited
guests for luncheon or dinner by tele-
phone use these as reminders to your
guests by writing the date and hour
that you expect them.
This type of card may also be
had with colored figures on 1t de-
noting the cocktail hour. which are
very attractive if you plan TO Use
them only for that type of party.
The plain type, just with your name
and address, is more practical, as they
can be used on many occasions. When
your calling cards are too small to
write a message that you want in
closed with your present. Use the
folded card, as you will find it gives
much more room.
Many people prefer to have their
name and address put on card
known as twice the size" of a calling
card, which also gives ample room for
extra writing.
Select your paper and cards now
so that they will be ready for use
as soon as the invitations begin COM
ing In and for the first "at homes
that will be starting In the near
future.

New Idea in Cooking.

Tr1lited meats are becoming In

menu The idea has been used in
European cookery for many years. but
only recently have Americans come to
appreciate what they've been miss

delicious in themselves and impart a

prunes are pleasing garnish. Pre-
