Manners
of the
Moment

ITS horrible sensation TO miss
street car by inches. When YOU
have dog-trotted the whole last block
to catch 1t. 1t seems pretty mean Of
the conductor to yank that cord 80
gleefully under your very nose.
I used to be able to Jump on mov-
ing street cars, and I'll bet still
could. But it wouldn't be dignined.
And. anyhow, I'm never sure of nv
heels, now that I have gone into high
ones.
So I have to take it along with all
the rest of the people who value their
hides. I have to stand and watch
the conductors flendish smile and sea
the car glide beyond my reach.
I have decided now that will
never again allow myself to miss q
street car by an inch. I'll miss it by
block at least. I'll stop 10 look at
the flowers and I'll amble lesurely
up to the corner, even If I do ses a
car waiting there. If it's going TO
wait, 1t can wait for me to walk. And
If 1t isn't going to wait. to blases with
1t. I didn't want that car anyhow.

Dorothy Dix Says
When Day Is Done, Working Wife
Needs Same Rest as Husband.

THERE are, of course exceptions to
the rule. but the great majority
OF husbands do not seem to appreciate
that for a woman to hold down two
Jobs puts her nder physical and
nervous strain mat only one with an
iron constitution can stand. She must
begin the day under high pressure
Rush through getting the breakfast
and doing little slapdash cleaning
up. Hurry TO the office or store Give
every ounce of strength and vitality
to her work. Hasten home. stopping
on the way to buy the food for the
evening meal.
Then. tired and worn out bv all she
has been through. she must clean up
the house. cook the dinner and do the
thousand chores that it takes to make
a comfortab Bile home. She has no time
for rest or relaxation or amusement,
without which any woman is bound
to 90 to pieces sooner or later.
Now and then, as I have said, there
Is a husband VINO helps his wife with
the housework as she helps him with
supporting the home, but most men
just take all of the wifes extra work
as they take her extra help for
granted. They sit and read the paper
while she steWs over the stove They
step out for game Of pool after din
ner while she washes the dishes, makes
the beds and sweeps the floors. They
scorn womans work. and it never oc-
ours to them that she is doing a mans
work as we'll as a vomans work.
What a rotten deal they are giving
her.
Personally. do ne. think that any
woman who works outside of the
house should work in it. think that
those couples where both husband and
wife are money earners should live in
some comfortable boarding house or
hotel. It would save many a working
wife from wrecked health and q pre-
mature death. 1t would give her q
chance to enjoy life and she would find
1t easier to get along with her husband
II she was not always q bundle OF
nerves from overwork.

YEAR MISS NOVEL;: I have Just
purchased glider and several
chairs for the lawn which have a wa
terproof covering on the cushions. Is
this really waterproof and can it be left
out Of doors all summer without
harm. MRS. M, b.
Prospect Street.
Answer-H your furniture was sold
to you by reputable dealer who guar
anteed it as waterproof you may be
sure that it will not be ruined in a
shower. There have been great i'm
provements in dyes and fabrics, and
most dealers are SO proud OF this fact
that they have marked on the tag that
the fabric will not shrink or fade.
However. il they were mine I would
plan to bring them in. If they are
forgotten in quick shower they will
not be hurt, but to expose them to
sun and rain all summer is more than
any article should be expected n
stand, and I am afraid you will find
them far from fresh-looking E the
first Of August, even though they may
still be waterproof.

old wife with a 40-year r-old

ried three years. My husband and I
both work Neither gets a large SAL
airy. but our combined income enables
us to rent a five-room house in the
suburbs, pay on a car and furniture
and save money. do all of the house
work. My husband is of the moody
type, has to be continually bolstered
up and encouraged and f1attered TO
hold him to his position, which he is
always threatening to give up. To
tell the truth, some days l am so tired
myself I feel l should be the one to
get the encouragement and the pat
on the head. But I skip it and try
not to be too out Of patience. The
lot of the wife who works outside Of
the home is not an easy one. How can
she be a successful wife and keep a
contented husband? F.T.
Answer-Ill say the lot of the wom-
an who has not only to fry the ba con
but also bring home her share OF it is
hard one. She has not only to do
two womens work, which is burden
the good Lord never intended to be
laid on any wife's back, but she also
has to contend with all the problems
that the purely domestic woman has
to solve in dealing with a husband.
and then plenty more that rise out of
the unnatural situation in which she
is placed.
There is no denying that in the
scheme of things it was designed that
the husband should be the bread
winner and the wife should make and
keep the home That division of labor
gave each one plenty to do. Unfor-
tunately. however. under present eco
nomic conditions it Is often necessary,
as in your case. for the wife to help
make the dough as well as bake it..
So far very few men seem to be big
enough and just enough to realize
how hard this is on the wife and to
help work out an equable adjustment
Of their problem.

Cake Pans.

In the case of butter cakes, the
creased pans are Toured to avoid a
crusty surface on the bottom Of the
layers. Since chocolate cakes have
a tendency to burn easily, the cake
pans are always creased and Toured.
Sponge and angel food cakes are
always baked in ungreased pans.

Convent

A comedy skit written and di-
rected by Miss Beatrice Moreno,
and a play were presented at
Mary Immaculate Convent last
night in honor of the feast of The
Blessed Virgin, and to initiate
new members to the sodality.
After the initiation the comedy
was put on and turned out to be
a surprise hit in spite of the fact
that it was the first article ever
written by Miss Moreno.
An improvised mike" was set
up, and acting as mistress of
ceremonies Miss Celina Bethen-
court announced each number be-
ing presented.
Some of the outstanding num-
bers were as follows: Satirical
limitations of Baby Shocks" by
Miss Ramona Lopez, Paderewski
by Miss Dorothy Lloyd, Kate
Smith by Miss Bethencourt and
Eddie Duchin at his piano by Miss
Moreno herself.
Numerous other good numbers
were presented, all of which
were greatly appreciated and en-
Enthusiastically applauded by the

Mrs. Douglass then spoke of
having attended an all-day meet

the Coral Gables Clubhouse on

the presidents of the various
Women's Clubs were asked to
give a report for the years work.
Mrs. Douglass said that the ap-
plause and welcome when the
Key West Woman's Club was in

and the meeting itself was most
interesting and worthwhile. The
