Answering
Readers
Not Necessary to
Take Gift When
Going to Visit.
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST-There are
four young women in this Office and
we have all been invited to spend the
week end at the country house of
our employer. We are divided on
the question of making present to
Mrs. Employer. Some of us think
taking toys to the two young chill
dren would be better. We've met
Mrs. Employer only in the Office and
don't know her very we'll, in case
that would have any bearing on the
way you answer.
Answer-Under the circumstances
you describe I am sure no gift of
any sort will be expected. In fact,
very few visitors take presents with
them, or send anything afterward.
Each one Of you, however, must write
a bread-and-butter letter after you
have left. In other words, while 1t
is always courteous thing to do to
take a present, 1t Is not necessary
ever. On the other hand, if you
see game for all of them, or several
little toys or puzzles which you think
amusing and which are of slight
value. then taking these for the
children would be a very Thoughtful
and nice thing to do.

DEAR MRS. POST-When a gen.
tleman stops to speak to lady on
the street, must he keep his hat off
the whole time he is talking to her?
Answer-As long as he stands talk
ing to her he should hold his hat
in his hand. But if he turns to
walk with her. he then puts his hat

BY BARBARA BELL,

It's difficult to find exactly the
right design for those fashion,
conscious school girls who are Just
on the edge of young ladyhood. They
abhor anything babyish. Their
mothers know they must not look
too grown-up. And here's a design
that has exactly the right simplicity
and youth, with just a tiny flavor
of sophistication that the girls will
love. They'll want it~in wool crepe,
jersey or flannel for school; in velvet
for dress up.
You can see how cleverly the lines
are designed to flatter immature
figures. The princess cut makes
them look Slim wasted. Gathers

bands. men who think they are be-
ing kind to their wives when they
are inflicting the tortures Of the in
QUESTION upon them, men who feed
their wives on caviar and starve
their souls for tenderness.
OF course, 1t may be said that the
reason that women try 20 times as
hard to be good wives as men do to
be good husbands is because it is
20 times more necessary. This is
true. Marriage is not only a wom-
mans vocation, but her avocation.
Her prosperity as well as her happi-
ness is involved in her holding her
husband, as the phrase goes. and
keeping him from wandering of
after strange goddesses.
theoretically 1t is just as much
the obligation of man to be good
husband as it is to q woman to be
a good wife, but in real life 1t doesn't
work out that way.
Anu IL Is BECAUSE women KNOW
this and how disastrous an unhappy
marriage is to them that they try
harder than men do to make a sue
cess of their marriages. 1t is women
who study their husbands until they
know all of their peculiarities and
ways, tastes and habits until they
can say them backward in their
sleep.
1t is wives who starve themselves
to keep a willowy figure so as to be
pleasing to their husbands eyes, but
you never heard of man doing
without what he liked to eat in order
to keep his wife in love with him.
It is women who must make the run
ming in marriage, and so it is no
wonder that 20 girls are studying
to be good wives, while only one
boy considers it necessary to learn
how to be good husband.

Dorothy Dix Says
Women Try Harder Than Men Do
To Make Marriage a Success.

The University Of Washingtons
marriage course has attracted 20
girls to the class, but only one boy.
This is significant. as it indicates the
difference in the way men and
women look upon marriage and the
relative Importance that they put
upon preparing themselves for it.
The ratio Of 20 women who work
and study to prepare themselves to
be good wives, to one man who even
takes a kindergarten lesson to fit
himself to be a good husband need
astonish no one. 1t has ever been
that way. Wives have always had
to be on their jobs and put on a
star performance to give satisfaction
and make their husbands glad they
married them; whereas men have
felt that just being married to them
automatically raised their wives to
the seventh heaven and was all the
bliss that any woman could ask.
1t Is because men have given 50
little study to the art and science
Of being desirable life companions
that we have the curious paradox

pie or as elaborate as you wish
Every man likes tamale pie, with its
layers of mush and highly seasoned
meat. And there are other pies
that are equally good-all concocted
with minimum of expense and
trouble.
With these substantial main
dishes, little else is needed to round
out a nutritious and delicious dinner
or luncheon. Perhaps clear soup
to start with, the pie, chopped
green salad of raw spinach, lettuce
and minced onion, some crisp little
pickles and a fruit compete for
dessert. Light and appetizing, but
well balanced and sustaining.
Here are the recipes for four meat
pies that are easy to make and sure
to win the approval of all members
Of the family:
SHEPHERDS PIE.
Separate two eggs, beat the yolks
with two cups seasoned mashed po-
tatoes. Whip the whites until stiff
and fold in potatoes.
Line the bottom of a we'll creased
baking dish with half the potatoes.
Fill with leftover lamb mixed with
cooked vegetables. such as carrots,
celery, onion, with parsley added.
Or fill with cubed lamb shoulder
which has been dipped in flour and
Drowned in fat, then simmered in
little water with the vegetables
until tender. A fresh-cooked mix

A New Idea.

Another Sunday night supper idea
is this unusual way of serving the
baked ham that may be left from
dinner. Cube the ham and mix
with chopped celery and chilled
mayonnaise. Then put this mix
ture into a hollowed-out ripe to-
mato shell and serve on a crisp
lettuce cup. Now isn't that simple?

Due to Message

BY ANGELO PATRI.

Barbara is 8. She is healthy and
usually happy. She plays we'll with
her toys, shares play with other
children, and makes friends with
them. She talks clearly. She Is in
telligent and active and as obedient
as any healthy child can be. She
got into trouble, or rather mother
got into trouble with her, the other
day, and mother could not under
stand how it happened.
20, Barbara"
Eyes, mother"
Come over here. I want to tell
you something"
Barbara went to her mother, still
carrying the shovel she had been
using to make sand castle. What
did you want, mother?"
"Now Barbara, listen to me. Listen
carefully. 1 want you to hear every
word I say. 1t is very important
that you do this right, you see. Aunt
Emily Is coming. You know your
Aunt Emily. She is coming with
father very soon. Now this is what
I mean. You listening?
"When Aunt Emily comes you must
60 up to her-remember she is your
only aunt and you must be very
nice to her-you go up to her and
you make courtesy. Show me how
you make courtesy. Pay attention
to me now. You make a courtesy
and you say, 7 am glad to see you,
dear Aunt Emily You understand?
You can do that, can't you, darlirg?"
Eyes, mother. Can I 60 make
my castle now?"
Eyes, but first, listen to me. When
your Aunt Emily comes"-etc., and
all over again.
BY and by Aunt Emily came
Barbara was busy with the castle
now ready for occupancy. She was
trying to catch black beetle for
gatekeeper and he was elusive under
the asters.
"Barbara!" called mother.
"Yes, mother" said Barbara, her
head under the asters.
"Come, here's Aunt Emily"
"All right. In a minute" said
Barbara, and went on after the
beetle. Her mother caught up with
her and hauled her to the house.
Here is Aunt Emily, Barbara"
'Hullo," said Barbara. "Good-by."
Why did she do that? Why didn't
she do what her mother had tried
so hard to get her to do? Because
mother drowned the idea in words.
Words are sounds, slowly delivering
meaning to childrens minds as they
fall on their ears. Pour out too
many and the sounds crowd on each
other and the meaning is lost. Chill
dren hear slowly what is said in
words.
Use the fewest possible number.
Say them slowly and clearly while
the child's attention is on you and
them. Keep the direction close to
the action. If mother had waited
until Aunt Emily was on hand, had
prepared her daughter then to say,
Il am glad to see you, Aunt Emily"
or the equivalent, whispered in her
ear, slowly and clearly, Courtesy
to Aunt Emily and say, Tn glad to
see YOU and then come back to
play" there would have been no
trouble.
Many, many cases Of disobedience
are really misunderstanding, or
no understanding at all, because
the meaning of the wordy message
was lost in the flood of speech. Make
1t short, sharp and immediate. And
be sure that the occasion is worth
the trouble.

TIPS TO
More Combinations

CROP combination is useful with
~ vegetables such as tomatoes,
melons or corn, as well as with
"small garden" crops like rad
isles, lettuce and carrots which
require comparatively less space.
The following combinations are
suggested by Harold Coulter, veg
etable expert of the Ferry Seed
Institute:
Sow dwarf peas early in rows
four to six feet apart; plant radish
between rows of peas, and plant
one row of cucumbers between
every two rows of peas.
Set caulifoWer early in rows two
feet apart; one foot on each side
of each caulifower row plant spin
ach; SOW radishes between spin
ach rows. When radishes are used
set tomato plants in the space
thus vacated. Peppers or egg
plant may be substituted for to-
matoes.
Sow early turnips in rows three
to four feet apart; later plant a
row of corn between the turnir
rows.
Give ground ample supplies Of
fertilizer when combined cropping
is practised extensively.
