Answering
Readers

By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: I have been sepa-
rated from my husband for over six
years. He pays toward my support
although l am working but earning
very little. In my work I have met a
man who wants to take me out and I
have been putting him off because
in all these 10 years I have not gone
out alone with men because I
thought it was wrong as long as 1
was married. Some of my friends
think I am foolish to live this soli-
tary existence while 1 am still young
1'm just 30) and say that after all
these years, people couldn't possibly
say anything unpleasant about me.
Will you give me your opinion?
Answer: Because you were once
married does not mean that you
must always sit home alone. But if
you are interested in this manor
any other-it would be best to get a
divorce.
Dear Mrs. Post: Do you think
Georgian silver would look all right
in a Louis XIV dining room?
Answer: Combining them would be
anachronistic, as you probably
know, since the Georges reigned long
after the Louis XIV period came to
an end. But unless you make a
great point of historical correctness,
there is no reason why you should
not choose this beautiful silver-no
matter where you put it.

Child Needs
Time to Be
Himself
Self.Expression Is
Essential to His
Development.
By ANGELO PATRI.

Just look at Peter. If I asked
him to work as hard as that, one
tenth as hard, and I'd be ashamed
to ask it, he would collapse on the
instant. But he will work like that,
using every pound he has, oblivious
to anything and. everything but his
play, until it is too dark for him
to see. Now why won't he do his
school work like that?
Because a childs play is his per-
sonal expression, of his personal
feeling. While he attends to doing
what he elects to do, he is enjoying
the greatest feeling a human being
knoWS-freedom Of spirit While he
works, Or as he calls it. plays, he is
running his mind without brakes.
The moment his activity is directed,
or imposed, which is the same thing.
his mind is working with the brakes
on. When his mind runs free. with
no outside control. it is tireless.
When it has to drag under the
weight of another mind, it tires very
quickly.
This is why all good teachers
strive to make school work become
so acceptable to the mind of the
pupil that he makes it his own and
allows himself to become absorbed
IN 1t. The teacher knows that as
long as a lesson must be imposed
on chllds mind the child is work.
ing under the control Of another
and so is not doing anything that
Will make any fundamental differ
ence to his thinking and behavior,
he gains knowledge. information,
perhaps technique, but these are
useless until he is moved by some
self-born idea, to use them to his
own ends.
Schools as they are organized
today cannot offer children oppor-
tunltles for Self-activity. How can
teacher whose work is set by the
course OF study. whose success is
measured by the childrens marks,
whose sole equipment is the room
with its benches, books and sheets
OF paper, give children-40 or so of
them - time, space, material and
stimulation for original, creative ex-
preston? Impossible. And it is
highly unfair to say that, under such
conditions, the public school teach
ers are failing. They work miracles.
Nor IS 1t fair to ask them to take
on methods of teaching that make
discipline and work harder without
compenSatlons of success. When a
class of little ones in the first grade,
who are learning to read out of a
primer, are asked to learn to read
through activity. and this activity
means tracing, cutting. coloring a
horse and printing a pupils name
under the result, the process is not
to be labelled self activity. Not if
one is at all thoughtful Cutting out
the figure of an object under the
direction Of the teacher is not self
expression of an idea. It is an
imposed lesson even if the teacher
says, Would you like to make a
horse?' They know they would
better like to make a horse. 1t is
a choice between that and sitting
still. hoping to be called on once in
40 minutes. 1t is relief, but it is
not self-activity.
Children in elementary schools
must learn the fundamentals OF
knowledge thoroughly, no second
thought about them. Then the
school program and the school
buildings, and the schools equip
ment must be set to offer time,
space. opportunity for the work the
children elect TO 90.

The Old Gardener Soys:

Coal gas is probably the worst
enemy of house plants and un-
fortunately is found to a greater
or less extent in most city
homes. 1t may come from the
heater or from the coal range or
from the lighting system.
Whatever its source it is in
furious, although some plants
are more sensitive to it than
others. 1t is impossible to grow
the Jerusalem cherry, for ex-
ample, in a room where even a
minute quantity of coal gas es-
capes. for the leaves will drop in
a very few days. AS a matter
OF fact, coal gas is much more
injurious to most plants than
illuminating gas. Some tough
kinds, such as the aspidistra, the
sansevieria and the rubber
plant, will continue to grow
reasonably we'll, even in rooms
where escaping Illuminating gas
can be detected. Even foliage
plants, including geraniums, be-
gonias and cinerarias, will last
for time but will eventually
be killed. All these plants will
expire much more quickly in the
presence of coal gas.

BY HELEN VOGT.

This upSWept coiffure has had
some far-reaching results. 1t has
affected the mode of dress this
season, done miracles for the MILL
merry and hairdressing industry, and
provided material for countless car
toons and comic strips But there
are number of really serious after
maths of this new mode-chief
among them the problem of the
throat, neck and shoulders.
For years women have been in
chned to skip over" their necks.
Hours they may spend in caring
for their faces. but when it comes
to equal consideration of their
throats they may be inclined to say
"Oh well, it doesn't need the care
that my face does, and really isn't
half as important Or possibly
they just aren't aware of the i'm
portance of it. Or perhaps there
is just touch of laxness about
this part of the beauty routine.
But at any rate it didn't matter
so much until we started piling our
hair atop our heads. Then came
the panic Women who had been
blessed with the advantages of long
bobs and curls were robbed of this
aid, for the upswept coiffure dis
played the neck to its full advantage
Or disadvantage Gowns, too, cor
responded with the new head dress
and appeared strapless and very
decollette for evening or with finely
detailed necklines for day-botn OF
which called attention to the throat.
Ladies who were firm believers in
the "upswept" suddenly appeared
with longer bobs-simply because
they found their necks were not up
to par.
Beauty experts had every right to
rub their hands and fendishly leer
Il told you So" For years they
have been stressing the need for
proper care of the neck and throat
with somewhat discouraging re-
suits, but it really took the intro
duction of the upswept hair to make
women realize the truth of these
statements.
So now we are off on a frantic
orgy of throat Identification. And,
fortunately, We have every advan-
tage at our disposal so that it
should be comparatively easy to
Evening star., 1938-11-07

remedy the neglect of past years
There are numerous creams on the
market that are excellent for
smoothing and softening the throat
and countless exercises that should
be of assistance in capturing the
illusion OF "swanlike" appear
ance.
A good throat cream may be mas
saged into the neck night and
morning in order to lubricate the
skin. Be sure that your throat has
been thoroughly cleansed first, then
apply the cream and leave it on
Tor a little While-about Is minutes
is the time advocated by many ex-
perts, To enumerate the various
methods of using throat creams
would be difficult task, but use
cream Of some reliable brand and
follow the directions carefully.
Next in Importance is the use
OF exercise, Two that are especially
helpful are as follows: Drop the
head back as far as it will go. Then
raise 1t to an erect position. not
by pulling the chin up, but by
stretching the tendons in the back
of the neck up until you feel as
though you were trying to touch
the ceiling with the back of the
top OF your head. You will find
that you are holding your head in
a correct position-With your chin
parallel to the floor Repeat this
10 times. 1t should help YOU
great deal in gaining a firm, smooth
neckline. The second exercise
which really isn't an exercise at all
is to apply cream and then lie
Tor ID minutes with your feet one
foot higher than your head. This
Is SAID to stimulate the circulation
to facial areas and cause a new
supply of blood to nourish your neck
from within, 1t certainly relaXes
you beautifully.
And while we are on the subject
mere are a few hints to 90 along
with your beauty routine. First.
When you use a throat cream apply
IL pehlnd your ears, too. Remember
that they have not been so exposed
before and are probably Just as
much IN neeG of care as your throat
Next. with the new hair STYLES. we
are advised to apply eye shadow
outward from the center of the lids
not toward the nose. Accent your
eyes with mascara, tip your ears with
tiny bit of rouge, and apply powder
all over your face, behind your ears.
and on the entire surface of your
neck so that your complexion will
have an even tone on both face and
throat.
And a final word We are told
10 apply our cream upward along
the throat column, using both hands
to get the best results.
Necks are in the spotlight this
fall. It's time to do something
about it :.

common sized peaches cover them
thickly with sugar, and let them
stand three of four hours; beat
them into quart of cream, or a
very rich custard Gf cream, sWeeten),

PUMPKIN CHIPS.
Cut slices from a high colored
pumpkin, and cut the slices into
chips about the thickness of a dollar;
wash them, dry them thoroughly,
and weigh them against an equal
weight of sugar; add to each pound
of sugar half pint of lime or lemon
juice, boil and skim it, then add the
pumpkin; when boiled, take the
slices out of the sirup and let them
cool; then return them and boil
until the pumpkin becomes clear.
The peel of the lemons or lines,
pared very thin, boiled until tender,
and added to the chips when nearly
done is an improvement.
OYSTER PIE.
Drain the oysters from their liquor
and rinse them; sprinkle them we'll

fry them a little with an onion,

oysters to bake. make a crust and
line your dish with it; stir the liquor
IN with the oysters, and put them
on your crust; cover the top with
butter and some spice. and lastly,
sprinkle with a powdered biscuit or
bread crumbs, or a crust may be put

The following recipe is taken from
an old book of my grandmother

The recipe itself has been heavily

that a girl is not popular with her

And So I said to the girl who

MATRIMONY.

"oIldi DSSI ITleIlQ is always
man.
"Ah,' I replied that's where YOU
are mistaken. A womans friend is
always woman. Never a man
The only unselfish friendship a
woman ever gets she receives from
another woman. A mans friend
ship always has a price-tag on it.
Men are fair weather friends to
women. AS long as you are young
and pretty, gay and amusing, you
will have plenty of men friends. Let
trouble come your way and your
men friends will just fade out OF
the picture. They will send you a
bunch of flowers from the florist
and leave a card with 'Sincerest
sympathy written on it at your
door Or maybe one or two more
generous than the rest will lend you
little money once or twice. and
that will be the end of your mascu-
line friendships.
Men have a morbid horror of
sorrow and tears and they shun
them whenever they can. So the
very lads who used to spend hours
in your jolly room listening to funny
stores will not come near you when
you have a tale of woe to tell. 1t is
only women who 60 and sit by their
sick friends bedsides. or let those
who have known a great grief weep
out their hearts on their breasts.
''It is your women friends who are
first aids to matrimony and help
you to a husband. No sooner is
Ethel married and established in a
cozy little apartment or a vine
Wreathed bungalow than she begins
a campaign to marry off all CT her
girl friends. She toWs in all OF her
husbands eligible friends and rela-
tives to little dinners at which Sadie
and Mamie are also present.
Another reason why a woman
makes a mistake in disparaging her
own sex is because she is thereby
cutting her own throat, socially
speaking For in America at least
women give more of the parties, ano
when they turn thumbs down on a
girl she is out. A girl may think
that because she is popular with
men she can afford to be snippy ano
rude to women, but that is where
she guesses wrong.
"It is some woman who makes
out all the invitation lists and de-
cides who is to be asked to the balls
and the teas and the luncheons and
the gay house parties. When she
writes down the name of that ador-
able little Smith girl, who is always
so sweet and courteous to the older
women and who is such a favorite
with the other girls, and leaves out
the woman-hater, there is nothing
that the woman-hater can dc
about it.
But perhaps the greatest mistake
of all that the girl makes who dis
likes her sex and says that they dis
like her is in thinking that it makes
a hit with men. 1t doesn't. Quite
the contrary. Men know that they
don't understand women. but the,
