Dorothy Dix Says

The third thing that married cou-
Piles quarrel over is the children. They
rarely see eye to eye about how their
youngsters should be brought up.
Father thinks they should be disci-
plined or spoiled, while Mother is
determined to bring them up accord
ing to the baby book, or it Is the
other way about. Especially does this
issue become acute when the children
get to the adolescent stage and begin
to want to step out bit.
Generally, then, Father, who has
been overly indulgent, wants to clamp
down on them. He thinks it is absurd
for Mary, who is still baby, to want
to go to parties and have boy friends,
and he is all for taking away from
Dick the automobile he has given

facturer in caring for the canner, being
especially careful to keep the surface
between the cooker and cover clean
and smooth. But do not scour 1t with
harsh abrasives. Keep the guage and
safety valve open and clean.
For processing acid products, like
fruits, tomatoes, ripe pimientos and
rhubarb, the temperatures obtainable
In the water bath are suficient. The
high temperature of the pressure can.
ner tends to damage fruit flavor, color
and texture. For water bath a
boiler, bucket or a large kettle will
do, provided the vessel has a tight
cover, rack or false bottom, and is
large enough to allow for one or two
inches OF boiling water over the tops
Of the Jars.
If buying new containers. they
may be glass or tin Glass Jars are
best for the small quantity homo
Gamer. because canning with tin
means the purchase of a machine for
sealing the cans. But for families
That use several hundred quarts of
canned vegetables and fruits every
year TIN cans have several ADVANTAGES.
The f1rst cost Of the tins is less (al-
though cans may be used satisfac-
torlly only once). Use of tin USUALLY
snortens the processing period be-
cause heat penetrates metal more
quickly than glass. Also more tins
Will fit into the cooker at one time.
Tins may be plunged into water to
prevent overlooking the contents.
They won't break and are easy to
handle and store.
Glass jars may be used year after
year, with only the cost of new rub
bers or tops to be considered. Glass,
OF course. has a decided advantage
from the standpoint of eye appeal.
Many home Gamers take a pride in
the beauty of their pack and tin
cans are not good exhibition mate
rial.
II the homemaker has decided in
favor OF tin, and is in the market for
sealing machine, she should select
one that is substantially built. 1t is
poor economy to buy a sealer which
is not heavy enough to stand up un-
der years of wear.
On glass jars. the market offers a
wide choice. Several different types.
designed for different tastes and dif-
ferent uses, are frequently sold by one
manufacturer. Glass tops should be
used for pickles and wide-mouth Jars
for large fruits.
Glass jars require new rubber rings
every year. The home Gamer should
make sure that her rubber rings are
new and of good quality. For simple
test, double the ring and press it
tightly between the fingers. The
rubber should not crack. A good rub
Der ring should stretch to twice its
length and snap back into its original
shape
If there are enough jars for all the
vegetables and fruit which the family
has a right to expect-are there
enough caps to 60 around? Don't
count any that do not fit tightly or
are dented or Clipped"

TALLY a very young" wedding Of the
picture-book variety.
Frosted organdy Is a new material
to find its way into the bridal party.
For the informal wedding the bride
may wear it in white, and her at
tendants in pastel colors. 1t is us
ually combined with rows Of tiny lace
edging and looks for all the world
like an fashioned lace valentine.
X
WHITE net over shimmering white
satin makes bride look as If
perfect cloud of mistiness. You can't
tell whore the veil stops and the dress
begins, and it is all quite bewilderingly
lovely. Some of these dresses are en-
tirely of net and some combine the
net with lace on the bodice. One of
these is very lovely with a square,
necked bodice shirred to very snug
fit along its lines of lace insertion.
The long tight sleeves Of lace have
small puffs at the top and the full
gathered skirt Of net has several lines
OF insertion set in vertically The
train is very deep and full This is
the dirndl version of the bridal gown,
and for all its beauty is not too ex-
penSive.
In the same shop we found a sur
prising number of choice bridal gowns
priced to suit the limited budget as
well as the more abundantly padded
wallet. For the small sum of SIT, we
found a very pretty soft satin gown
with lace set into the tops of the
sleeves, making a flattering rolled
collar around the back Of the neck.
This dress was well cut and had
medium length train. There was also
an attractive gauzy marquisette dress,
with Chantilly type lace set in wide
panels at the back of the skirt and
narrower bands of it through the
sleeves and across the front of the
bodice forming an Empire line, that
was priced under S25.
Embroidered mousseline is used in
several f1lmy, lacelike gowns. One of
these has heart-shaped neck and
taire separate sections that may be
sewed in for the wedding ceremony
and later detached so that the dress
may be used for dancing. It has a
long train, but this, too, may easily be
cut off later.
Bridal lingerie is at present being
prominently displayed in all stores.
Negligees of creamy lace over pink
satin are contrasted with those of
fowered washable rayons, floating
chiffons and tailored satins in white
and pastel colors. 1t is the brides
season and the best of everything is
being set out for her trousseau!

Of
Taking Men
Lodgers
Lone Woman Must
Avoid Any Risk
OF Criticism.
-sketched from Washington shops.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I am a widow
and 60 to business. I was left
a good sized cooperative apartment.
which I cannot sell during these I'M
settled times and in which really can
not afford to live my myself. 1 had
two young women living with me; that
is, each had a room. One of them
has just gone home to live and the
other one is going to be married soon.
My experience with having women
roomers was pleasant but I found
them always wanting to use the kitch-
en- and to press their clothes and ask
ing many other trifling favors, which
after while turned into real annoy
ance For this reason I would like
to have men roomers. My sister does
not agree with me that this plan
could avoid being questioned. She
believes that I will be running into
considerable criticism, which may
sooner or later affect my business con-
nections. For the life of me 1 can't
see how I could be taking any such
risk. I am middle-aged, have always
lived here and have always been re-
spected But I would like to have
your opinion.
Answer: think you would run less
risk of criticism having men If you
had two dodgers instead Of one. More
over, you should find out something
about the men who apply for your
rooms. Very old gentlemen. or on the
other hand, very young men, would
be equally suitable from the point
of view of propriety. Older men
would probably be In your apartment
a good deal of the time while you
are at your Office. Young men, on
the other hand. might not be able to
afford the rent you have to ask. Quite
frankly, I think for woman alone,
who is as young as you are, women
dodgers would be the much safer
choice. If you tell them before letting
them have the rooms exactly what
house privileges are included in the
rental, then you should have better
luck with the next ones than you had
with the last

= OMETIMES I think that the ideal
set-up for a happy marriage
would be for both the husband
- and wife to be either millionaires
or paupers, for them to have been
doorstep babies and for them to have
no children. At any rate, that would
abolish the three principal causes Of
friction in domestic life.
Married couples quarrel more over
money than they do over anything else,
and their disagreement as to who
shall have the spending of the family
income provokeS more anger, bitter
ness, vituperation and leads to more
divorces than unfaithfulneSs and
drunkenness and all the combined
major and minor sins. They fight over
the pocketbook like dogs over bone.
Balancing the home budget Is just as
controversial matter as is balancing
the national one.
The next thing that married people
quarrel over Is each others families
whom they appear to regard as their
hereditary foes against whom they
must always be on the defense. OF
course, the basis of this is jealousy.
No bride could be as green-eyed over

All Children

By ANGELO PATRI.

THE telephone rang late in the
evening. Granny wondered which
child was i'll as she hurried to answer
TITS me, mother. I'm calling to ask
if the mountain hut is going to be
used this next 10 days. If not I'd
like to have it,
"Of course, Caroline, you can have
it. But what's moving. you to 60
there this time of year? Your garden
Just coming out, and all"
"Yes, isn't it too bad? But Helen
is coming with the two children for
the next two weeks and don't feel
equal either to fighting them or re-
forming her notions about training
them, so I'm off to the hills. Don't
you think you'd better come along?"
The two children in question were
the children of professional people,
we'll up in all the latest theories OF
the day. child training among the first.
Both parents were firm about allowing
the children freedom. and their notion
Of freedom seemed to center about the
child's own wish and will. They must
do what they wanted to do at the
minute, and so, by some magical
process, come to know what not to do
The fact that nobody concerned
seemed to enjoy the process did not
dampen their ardor one whit. I'VE
don't expect any easy time while the
children are growing up" said they
accepting martyrdom with the zealot's
Zest
Joe and Joan began the day with
uproar and met the night with the
same unrestrained joy. They did not
want to be dressed first thing, so they
ran about as they were. Later, when
nobody was free to attend to them,
they insisted upon being dressed, Sc
lecting their own outfit regardless OF
its fitness. They rolled in bed OF
tulips They caught the neighbors
cat, tied it in bag and rolled the
bag down the cellar steps. They
carried and unloaded sand on Miss
Turner's immaculate front porch.
They visited the garage two blocks
down the street and mopped the floor
with themselves. Then they climbed
happily into the painted breakfast
chairs that were the family pride and
joy, and left smears on everything
they touched. They pulled hair ane
spilled their soup bowls. They checked
old Norah until she turned on them
and ran them out of her kitchen
Their mother came to the scene and
said, Remember they are only chill
dren, Norah."
"Yes, and it's that thought that
amazes me. That children could be
like this I never thought. They're
being ruined for the want of a good
slap on their behinds."
This sort of thing is not freedom
1t is bondage. Freedom is a matter
of the spirit. Children need to be
trained and taught the rudiments o1
living. They are not born with thai
knowledge. They are given a period
of six years to become accustomed te
living in houses with other people
to learn speech, manners and at least
a glimmer of understanding, of con-
sideration for others. It is our duty
to supply that training and discipline
Freedom is not achieved in infancy
It comes as the result of lifetime
of self-discipline which is ripenine
of the spirit. Children must bt

spring and summer particularly well.
Palest tints of color also enter into
the choice of bridal gowns. Several
local shops have displayed exquisite
bridal dresses in blush pink which
have attracted much attention from
window shoppers, and put new
thoughts into a lot of pretty heads.
This tinge of color is SO faint that
it can hardly be called pink, yet has
a glowing quality that is more be-
coming to some skins than pure white
or mellow ivory.
Loveliest of these displays was the
one shown recently with the bride
In simple frock of organza with
its heart-shaped neck, short sleeves
and voluminous hemline edged with
ruchings of the dress material. The
slender princess lines were emphasized
by the long row of small self-covered
buttons down the entire length of the
front The bridesmaids wore frocks
of the same material, with charming
off-the- e-shoulder bodiceS finished with
wide ruching. Narrow velvet ribbons
were tied about the waist-pink for
one and pale yellow-green for the
other.
Another blush pink wedding gown
was shown by another store. This
gown was combination Of net and
lace, the bodice and long sleeves being
of lace, with net used for the skirt
and train, with lace motifs cut out and
appliqued at widely spaced intervals.
With this was worn a fingertip veil
from a cap made Of narrow braided
strands of the net.
DELIGHTFUL for the informal
garden wedding is white
organdy frock with tiny embroidered
eyelets. 1t is fashioned with wide
V-neck, edged with narrow pleated
frill, close-fitting bodice forming a
deep point at the front, and full
skirt. A matching boiero jacket is a
part of this costume and it is shown
with a wide -brimmed white horsehair
hat worn off the face and tied under
the chin with white tulle. A little
flower girl in pink frosted organdy
ankle length dress with poke bonnet
carried her flowers in basket.
There have been a number of all
white weddings this spring, with the
bridesmaids dresses copying those of
the bride minus the train and often
accented with pastel-colored sashes to
match their bouquets. One white
wedding group shown in recent
summer fashion promenade featured
quaint white frocks of embroidered
dotted organdy made with three tiers
to the skirt and an off-shoulder neck
line with small puff sleeves and mar
row shoulder straps. The bridesmaids
wore identical dresses, but they were
embroidered in yellow dots instead of
white, and they had small bonnets of
the same material tied under the chin
with yellow ribbons. This was essen

Bureau OF Home
Economics of the
United States De-
partment of Agri-
culture sneaks up
with a big release
on the subject of
canning and pre-
serving e qui p
ment, just as I
am beginning to
shake the Easter
eggs out of my
mental basket.
Evening star., 1938-05-11

With very red face for being so slow
to catch on, I offer you the Bureaus
remarks:
First in the line of canning equip
ment comes the steam pressure cooker.
This is an essential piece of equipment
for the safe home canning of nom
acid vegetables and meats If the
homemaker has no pressure cooker
she may be able to borrow one through
the community canning center, or the
home demonstration agent. Pressure
cookers are often owned jointly by
group of neighborS, when the cost is
too much for one family alone. If
pressure cooker is not available the
homemaker should never attempt to
can non-acid products by any other
method. 1t is better, then, to use
other preserving processes, drying,
brining, curing
For those who will buy pressure
cookers this year, the bureau offers
these suggestions:
Select canner that is substan-
TALLY built and large enough for can
nlng-a pressure Gamer, not merely
a pressure cooker. The 18-quart to
3O-quart sizes are most satisfactory.
Cookers smaller than this are much
less suitable for canning, because of
the difficulty Of regulating the pres
sure. Sudden changes in pressure
cause liquid to flow from the jars, with
loss of food value, less juicy prod
uct and one that will not keep as we'll
as If covered by liquid in the jar. The
canning capacity of the 18-quart size
is five glass quart jars. eight pints or
IA No. 2 tins. The 30-quart size holds
8 quarts, 20 pints or l9 No. 2 tins.
BE sure that the top fits perfectly
and is held tightly in place by clamps
or heavy band. Pressure cookers are
usually Of aluminium, but some of those
now on the market are tin-plated iron
These are heavier and require more
careful handling to prevent melting of
the tin plate. The top and cooker
cannot be ground to fit, as the alum
mum ones are, so large rubber gasket
is used to form a tight seal. This
gasket must be replaced periodically.
"All pressure cookers are equipped
with a petcock, for exhausting the
air, and with safety valve as well
as pressure guage. sometimes the
petcock and safety valve are COM
bined)

IF THE family already owns a pres
sure cooker, make sure it is in good
running order. Pressure guages often
fail to register accurately after much
use, hence the home Gamer is advised
to have the pressure guage on her
