Dorothy Dix Says
Why Your Husband Married You
Something No One Can Answer

wonders why he tied himself down
to one woman when he wants to play
around with many women. She
wonders why he burdened himself
with the support of a family when
he begrudges every cent it costs.
And, most of all, she wonders why
he picked her out for q wife when
apparently nothing she does pleases
him and he rarely speaks to her ex-
cept to find fault with her. But
she never lnds out why he did it.
**
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: For %
years my husband and have lived
together in peace and happiness.
We have q nice little home which
we both love and enjoy more than
words can tell. My husband has a
maiden sister few years older than
he is. She has a small income and
lives alone in little apartment. but
now, to my horror and astonishment,
she has decided she wants to come
and live with us, says she is lonely.
She Is narrow and dictatorial, and
when one differs with her is very
nasty and sarcastic. BY her plain
speaking and overbearing manners
she has driven away good friends
and that is why she is lonely. She
is the last person on earth with
whom I would choose to share my
home, yet my husband seems to
think that am selfish in not want
ing to have her. Should I agree to
try it, or should I stick to my guns
and let my husband consider me
selfish? ANXIOUS.
Answer-Die at your post rather
than surrender. You will ALLEVIATE
your husband far less by refusing to
let your sister -in-law come to live
with you than you will by having a
family row If you do.

% cup butter, melted.
u cup seeded raisins, chopped.
u cup walnut meats, broken.
l teaspoon salt.
"a teaspoon pepper.
"a teaspoon minced parsley or

covering, for about 80 minutes, until

The method of eating this vege-

into the sauce on ones plate-only
the f1eshy part is eaten, discarding
the rest. When all the leaves have
been eaten, scoop the fibrous, hairy
growth from the bottom Of the arti-
choke with a fork and discard it.
Then eat the heart (the bottom)
with a fork, dipping the pieces into
the sauce one at a time.

Add lemon Juice and well-beaten
egg yolks. Cook slowly. beating
with whisk as butter melts. When
butter has melted add second piece,
and, as the mixture thickens, the
third piece, stirring all the time. Re-
move from the heat, add seasonings
and serve at once.

Slower Than Slow
Children Should
Not Be Scolded
BY ANGELO PATRY.

Ben David is in the kindergarten.
The teacher looks at him and her
brow wrinkles with worry. Why
is Ben David so slow?
Hurry. Ben David. The class
is waiting"
Forty-nine expectant faces turn
toward Ben David. The chairs
are in place in the circle, all but
his. He is about ready to lift his
chair to carry it to the circle now,
when everybody else is seated and
waiting. 1t is so always. When the
circle breaks into groups Ben David
will still be sitting on his little chair,
slowly preparing to gather himself
together to prepare to move to the
table. The children will have fin
ished their business there before
he has begun.
yes, I know" said his mother.
He is always like that. I can't
make him hurry. I have to dress
him or he never would get dressed
have to get him up an hour ahead
of time so as to get him ready. I
have to push every spoonful of food
down his throat or he would never
get meal"
But if he does not wake up he
is not going to be able to get along
In the grades. I don't dare promote
him as he is. What are we to do?'
Il don't know. thought he would
| get over 1t in school, but he hasn't,
has he?"
Not one bit faster today than
the day he came. Look at him
now. Every child has his hat and
coat and gloves, ready for the street,
but Ben David. He is thinking
about starting. Slower than slow,
is Ben David"
Send him to the children's spe-
cialist. When a child is as slow
as that he is wanting in some vital
essential to health. Only the ex-
perienced physician. one who has
given a lifetime Of study to the
ills OF children, can help him. If
he is given help at the beginning
of his school career there is more
chance of doing something for him.
II he Is allowed to stay in the same
class term after term he will not
be able to overcome the handicap
OF retardation that is his.
Some children move more slowly
than others as q matter of tenn
perament. They move with de-
liberation and purpose and arrive
| at their destination in good time.
All such children need is a re-
minder and little training in
clock-watching. They will have no
real trouble beyond slight incon-
venience. But these slower than
Slow, these children who are like
slow movies of other children in
action, need medical care, the best
obtainable, without delay.
What makes them so slow? Only
the skilled physician will be able
to answer that question. All we
who look on can say is that there
is something wrong with the physi-
cal child. Something that is es-
sential to normal action is lacking.
Sometimes this can be remedied,
and sometimes it cannot. The only
chance the child has lies in speedy
attention from the child specialists.
Punishment is worse than use
less for such children. It is cruel,
because the child would be diff
ferent If he could. He IL as fast
for himself as another child Is fast
for himself, and does not under
stand why people find so much
fault with him. He is doing the
best he can. Call in the specialists
without delay and he may be abfe
to help this afflicted child.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have al
ways wondered why my husband
married me- He is one of the men
who is wrapped up in his business
and 1t requires him to be continually
on the 60. He never even had time
to court me, only by letters, tele-
grams and long-distance telephone
calls. I had to meet him half way
across the country for the wedding
ceremony. He didn't marry for a
home because he knew he would
never have time to be in one. He
didn't marry for companionship, as
we are together only for about "a
hours every month. Understand, !
am happy and glad that he married
me and he seems satisfied, but why
did he do it? MRS. R. A.
Answer-No one knows why any
one else marries. Least of all does
the individual himself know. It is
all part of the sweet mystery of love
that makes each Of us crave a mate
some one who belongs to us, some
one who is closer to us than any one
else in the world, some one who is
just part of US.
Some men marry for q home
Others because they want children
Others because they are weak and
self-pitying and want q woman to
mother them, fuss over them and tell
them that their failures are some
body else's fault. Many men marry
because they have a queer idea that
marriage is stabilizing institution
that will change all their tastes and
habits and turn them from being
FOUNDERS into staid citizens.
But many a woman like yourself
wonders why her husband married
her. She wonders why he estab-
lished home that he never stays in
any longer than he can help. She

Of those quick-drying enamels in

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
My bedroom has yellow and white
wall paper, white woodwork and
white venetian blinds. The furniture
is antique white and very nice, but
the room lacks "snap!' What color
or colors do you suggest that might
use to pep the room up and still
keep the nice clean look that 1t now
has? MARION R. C.
Real turquoise color and some
black would do this for you. Use
quite lot of the turquoise to pull
the room together-such as draperies
and bedspreads, and then small &C
cents of black. Small touches of
vivid vermillion in accessories would
be interesting, too
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have a pair of old glass lustres
and several of the pendants have
been broken. Is it possible to get
these replaced to match and where
can they be found? MRS. N. J.K.
Answer
Since these have become fashion,
able again, and many of the old de-
signs have been copied it is possible
to get many patterns from the light
fixture houses. Parts for these may
be ordered for you If yours are un-
usual you may have some difficulty
exactly matching them. Some of
the antique shops very often have a
box Of old ones and very often you
may find your own among them.

Your table, the tin tray and
the painted chairs make q very
nice picture in my mind. I sug-
gest that you get the chairs, but
do not have them repainted. New
paint that destroyed all of the
old design would make you feel

BrushingSkin
Helps You
Reduce
Minor Blemishes
Will disappear
Very Shortly
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Oy "a ASASAEA
Even though our intentions are
good. we never do indulge in enough
regular body exercise during the
winter months unless we are for
tunate to be in climate which
permits outdoor recreation. So we
should resort to some means OF
keeping the numerous pores Of our
skin stimulated If we desire health
and skin beauty.
There is nothing which cleanses
the skin so thoroughly and leaves
1t tingling and clear in its smooth
ness as good brushing during
a tub bath or shower. And when
I say a good brushing I mean just
that. A bristle which grows limp
when it touches soap and water
doesn't help your skin a mite-it
requires a firm bristle and rich
soap lather to get those lazy pores
rid of their secretions and breath
ing freely.
Most skins can take a lot of
brushing! Your skin might be a
little tender at first, but once you
awaken it by scrubbing it will ask
for more! Use soap which gives
rich lather and rinse it off thor
oughly.
AS il by magic, minor skin
blemishes disappear. especially from
your back and chest, after several
scrubbings. 1t is hard for you to
believe, but those minor blemishes
actually appeared because your skin
was not clean. The pores became
overloaded through the lack of ex-
ercise so nature made them shrek
for a little external help! And
brushing gives them that.
If you desire to lose some weight
by all means become a bath brush
devotee! The more freely the pores
breathe, the more energy they help
to burn, and fewer pounds are re-
tanned! Along with your reducing
exercises and reducing menus, brush
your skin we'll each day.
For approximately a dollar yol
can get a good brush which will
serve you for months. There are
many models. Long handled fol-
tub lovers, and short handled fol-
shower addicts, or brushes without
handles for those who prefer them
1t is a small investment for all
the exhilaration and beauty you get
during the months when your out
door exercise is limited.
Before going on this reducing
diet be sure to get your physi-
clans approval. While reducing
follow Miss Lindsay's Diet Health
Rules, which may be had upon
request. Inclose = self addressed,

As Serbian, Secretary, He
Received UItin,atun,
From, Austria.

Memorial services will be held I'm
Washington Cathedral next Wednes-
day for Slavko Grouitch, one-time
Serbian Minister to this country, on
the occasion of the first anniversary Of
his death in London, where he was
Minister of Yugoslavia.
Had he lived Mr.. Grouitch would
have seen the international tables
turned this last week. It was he who
received the Austrian ultimatum in
the summer Of 1914 and acted for the
Serbian government In a reply that
was followed within two hours by the
massing of Austrian troops on the
Serbian border
Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg's
reply to Germany's ultimatum re-
suited in his own resignation and
the absorbing of his country by the
Reich. Serbian Secretary General
Grouitch's reply to Austria in 1914
was followed by the World War.
When this diplomat was in Wash
ington as Yugoslav Minister during the
years just following the war, on sew
eral occasions he told of the circum-
stances surrounding the presentation
of the Austrian ultimatum.
Adversaries at Tennis.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand had
been assassinated June %, 1914, in
an Austrian border province peopled
by Serbians. On the afternoon of
July % Secretary Grouitch had played
tennis with a young secretary from
the Austrian Legation. The following
day he found his tennis opponent
waiting in his office. They shook
hands and remarked the day was
hotter than the one before.
ViSibly embarrassed, the young Aus
trian diplomat said:
"Mr. Secretary General, I have to
inform you that my chief (the Aus
trian Minister) will come to see you
this afternoon at 4 o'clock to hand
you a personally important document"
He bowed, shook hands and turned
to leave the room.
He stopped to add: "Grouitch, I
know your chief is away in the in
terror. Perhaps you could recall him
before this afternoon"
Mr.. Grouitch once said he believed
those were the last friendly words
exchanged between a Serbian and an
Austrian until the end of the World
War.
Document Delayed.
The secretary called later to say
that the document" would be deliv-
cred at pm. instead of 4. a delay
caused, it was learned following the
war, By the two-hour postponement
of the French Prime Minister'S termi-
nation of his visit to st. Petersburg.
The French oficial boarded his yacht,
which was not equipped with wire

presentation Of the Austrian ulti-
matum to Serbia.
Secretary Grouitch's reply to the
document" was prepared after con-
sultation with Serbian diplomats over
the world. Austrian troops were
massed little more than two hours
after the presentation of the reply,
