Dorothy Dix Says
A Wife Should Make Friends That
Will Help Husband in Business

because you think some woman has
snubbed you: because you are home
sick for mother and the girls and
your old bridge foursome and your
church sewing circle? Don't foo
yourself into thinking that if you
force your husband into giving ul
the good Job he has he can step out
and pick up another one just as good
back home. Good jobs are hard tc
get these times, and they are not
handed out to men who are so hen
pecked by their wives that they can't
be depended upon to do anything
except what their wives want them
to do Squawmen are not highly
regarded by employers.
Probably all of us would prefer to
live among the people We have
known all of our lives and whose
ways and habits are our ways and
habits. But that good luck happens
to comparatively few. Most Of us
have to go where our fortune calls
us. If we have any intelligence
whatever, or any character or back
bone, we adapt ourselves to the con-
ditions under which we must live
and to the people with whom we
must associate.
So my advice to you is to dry your
tears and quit worrying your poor
husband, who no doubt has plenty
of troubles of his own without your
whining and complaints. Quit show
ing your neighbors that you disap-
prove of them and have taken a
critical attitude toward them What
they do is none of your business
But it is your business to conciliate
them and make friends of them for
your husband.

Answer: 1t is unusual for an
unmarried sister to announce her
older sisters marriage if both are
very young. That is, a young girl
of II or 10 or even 20 would not an
nounce the marriage OF her sister
who is several years older. II both
are "a or more it would be quite all
right. AS a matter of fact, if you
have no aunt or uncle or other older
relative to announce your marriage
for you, this would, of course, make
your reason for choosing your sister
easily understandable.

Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
has died recently and I don't know
whether it will be considered good
taste for me to 60 to my literary
and woman's club meetings. And
how soon may go to resort for
change and rest? If this is not
questionable, I would like to go with
two friends.
Answer-You may continue any
activity that is not purely social.
You would continue your interest in
any civic work, club work, literary
work, but you would not go to a club
that had its meetings in the eve
nings and made festivities of the
occasions. 1t is quite all right for
you to 60 on journey, and to stay
in a resort if you lead very quiet
life while there. You would hardly
feel like going in to the dances in
a hotel or taking part in any OF the
social gayety of the place.

Dear Mrs. Post: l always tele-
phone acceptance and regret to all
invitations that are not written in
the third person. Am I wrong in
doing this? A friend tells me that
even formally third-person invita-
tons may be telephoned on occa-
sion and that it is not case of how
the invitation itself is worded, but
of how we'll you know the hostess.
Answer-Your friend is right. We
are much, more inclined to write to
a hostess we know slightly and to
telephone some one who is an in
innate friend. The principal rule,
however, Is to answer promptly.

houses and a country club. The
place is lovely, but I am unhappy
because the other people are differ

either no children or one or two
children at most. They drink and
smoke and do things that my hus-
band and I do not do. I am 81.

is worried because I am not happy
and it does not do his work any
good. He is highly valued by the

YOU were me? MRS. x.
Answer-Well, I hope that if I
were you would have enough cour-
age and common sense and affec-
ton for my husband to act like a
reasonable human being instead of
a silly cry-baby; to meet the situa-

make the best of it instead OF a

Automatic
Child
Only the Helpless
Ones Will Cling
To Such Ways
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Children sometimes practice a
motion until it becomes part of their
daily, even nightly routine. Thumb
sucking, hair = twisting. lip biting,
understanding, nail-biting, all come
under this heading. For some I'M
known reason the child found COM
fort in these motions and repeated
them until they took root. They are
not overwhelmingly important, but
they are annoying. and they call
attention to the child who practices
them in a way to embarrass him.
Teachers and parents are eager to
cure the child of the unfortunate
practice and have difficult time
trying.
The habits have been set for a
long time, so deeply set that they
are automatic. The moment the
conscious, directing mind of the
child is off duty the hand goes to
the mouth, or to whatever move
ment it is accustomed to making,
and the thing is in full swing once
more.
Take that finger out of your
mouth this minute! If you could
see yourself, just for once, you
wouldn't do that again. Why do
you do it?"
The finger comes out: The child
looks shocked. or scared or stub
born, according to his nature,
and for the minute the habit is
checked. But only for the min
ute, for unless the child is given
something to do at once. some
thing that will change his trend
of thought, keep his mind busy
and occupy his hands, the prac-
tice will start again almost i'm
mediately. Not that the child will
fully starts again, but that the thor
oughly infatuated mechanism of
nerve and muscles and memory
starts of itself. That is what a
habit is supposed to do and does,
always.
What can we do? Try to bring
that habit to the notice of the
conscious mind of the child; try
to make him thing about it, feel
so strongly that he wants to do
away with it that his purpose and
will are aroused. so that he earn
estly, deeply, wishes to break the
spell that binds him. Then the
thing is done. The task is to rouse
the conscious mind of the child
against the habit.
Healthy children are happy and
easily satisfied. They seldom take
to such ways for comfort because
they need no comfort. Find what
there is in the daily life of this
child, what person, activity, emo
ton or desire is causing him to
feel afraid or uncertain. Build up
his health. Don't talk about the
habit.
For little children in their cribs,
just remove the thumb, fill the
fidgetting hand with something to
hold. something to look at, or make
a pleasant noise. smile and go ahead.
For the older one-the health re-
gime, mental and hygiene, and
plenty of happy activity.
A mirror, placed so that the
Misunderstanding child, or the nail
bitter. or the hair wister-the un-
happy child under the spell of a
wasteful habit-can see how he
looks, is one of the best possible
helps. No ridicule, for that makes
the already helpless child feel
worse and need more comfort. No
punishment for the same reason.
Strengthen his weakness, build up
his health, help him to play sue
cessfully, and the thing will pass.
Only ailing, helpless children, the
inadequate ones, cling to such ways.

Lend Charm
To Family
Festivity
AHostess or Guest
Should Put Best
Foot Forward
is A merica.
Ry PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Thanksgiving is primarily family
party-a together when we are
apt to eat too much and quarrel
with one another when our digestion
becomes taxed!
Being woman the burden of
entertaining and being entertaining
falls upon you. Our men Chat is,
the majority of themD carry only
their appetites to the Thanksgiving
feast. In no other manner do they
strive to make the occasion happy
one or show their appreciation for
the bounty and companionship at
hand! So it is up to mother, sister,
wife, daughter or sweetheart to lend
charm to the day and see that things
run smoothly and nicely.
Even though it is for "only the
family" wear your prettiest Of
frocks, have your hair freshly styled
and be just as ravishing as i'm
peccable grooming can make you.
Bury old hurts Gf you have any
and greet the> clan with smiles and
good cheer.
If you are to be the hostess don't
spend all your day fussing with
the big meal. Take time out to
enjoy the rally and by all means
do not sit down all a-fluster, with
appetite vanished, at the spread
you have so carefully planned or
even cooked! Cool off before dinner
is served and be just as anxious
to dig in" as big brother Bob!
And If you are guest, help your
hostess by being an easy" one.
Enter into the conversations, volun-
teer your services if kitchen help
is limited, and make any allowance
necessary during the family day.
Any family, collected in the same
house, is difficult to take in one
dose! But keep in mind that you
have been greatly honored by the
invitation to join the intimate group.
Show your appreciation by being
just as charming as you can be and
help to make the reunion men,
orable one!
Before going on this reducing diet
have your physician give his ap-
proval. While reducing, follow Miss
Lindsay's diet health rules which
may be had upon request. Inclose
