Dorothy Dix Says
Never Marry Widower Unless
You Are Free From jealousy.

DEAR MISS DIX am a young
woman in love with widower who
has two small sons. He can give me
every luxury. but there are two
things that make me doubt the wisdom
of marrying him. One is that I shall
expect my husband fully to return
my affection, but as he has been
married before, could he earnestly
and sincerely do this? Also, the
thought that he has belonged to
another woman and is the father Of
her children maddens me. The other
objection is that I am very inde-
pendent and cannot bear to think
of giving up my freedom. What shall
do? JANE.
Answer-It does not seem to me
that you are cut out for a widowers
wife. To begin with, the woman who
marries widower should be big and
broad-minded enough to accept the
fact of his previous marriage without
jealousy. AS you are not able to do
50. that is disqualification No. /.
OF course, no man can have for his
second wife the romantic love that he
gave his first. That belongs to youth.
and can be no more conjured up
again than can any other boyish
illusion. 50 the second wife has to
reconcile herself to that. Experience
takes the edge OIL any experience, and
the man who has been married and
who has learned to adjust himself
to domesticity, and who has gone to
housekeeping, comes into matrimony
second time as q professional and
not As an amateur. To him no second
bride can be the awesome and wonder
full creature that his girl bride was to
him. Nor can setting up . new estab-
lishment give him the thrill that he
got out of buying his first pots and
pans, chairs and tables.
OF course, 1t isn't in any woman
who loves . man not to feel . pang
Of regret that she shouldn't have been
his first wife and share those first
experiences with him, but there Is
gain as well Is loss in being q No. 2
wife. For the mere fact that . man
has been married once fits him better
for 1t q second time. Like the hero
Of Mr.. Kipling's story. who learned
about women from every lady he loved,
the widower has obtained . liberal
education about the feminine sex

Well-Trained

A Servant Must Be
Ready to Answer
Bell Promptly.
BY FRANCESCA MCKINNEY.

When you have spent an afternoon
paying calls, remember that they will
be returned; have your house in order
and your servants we'll trained in readi-
ness for visitors!
Your maid or butler must be dressed
and ready to answer the doorbell
promptly from 4 o'clock until g.
Maids must be dressed in afternoon
uniform with long sleeves, small. sheer
white apron with collar and cuffs to
match. and a small cap.
Butler must be dressed in a cutaway
Filipino, or colored houseboy. should
wear spotless white coat or an al
paca coat like stewards.
Have a small silver card tray on
the table by the door, for the maid or
butler should never take the cards in
hand.
A servant must be trained to stand
at the open door until madame" has
entered her car If caller is walking,
then until she has reached the side
walk. The door must never be closed
before this. as it gives the impression
of having been closed in the visitors
face If madame" remains in her
car. and the chauffeur takes the cards
to the door, it may then be closed as
soon as the chauffeur has turned his
back
Be sure to tell your servant each
afternoon whether you will be "at
home, "'or not, to visitors
If your maid allows a caller to enter
the house with the remark they will
see if madame is at home" then you
must see them, if they will wait until
you dress.
In an apartment you must also tell
your maid whether you will be at
home" to callers, so that she will be
able to give the answer promptly to
the telephone operator.
On the table with the card tray
leave small pad and pencil, in case
your visitor would like to leave a note.
If you are receiving, your maid must
be taught to walk as quickly as possible
to your side and proffer you the cards.
so that you will be certain Of your
NLSIbOI lldlIic.
If a butler answers the door. he steps
to the door of the room and in a clear
tone of voice announces the visitors
name, and then returns the card to the
hall table.
There should also be on the hall
table a large silver, or handsome china,
bowl. in which to place the cards. as
the card tray must be kept clear Of
cards of previous callers.
A hostess should always rise when
her visitor enters the room and receive
her graciously.
Having we'll trained domestics will
simplify your life as we'll as that of
the caller.
A maid must learn to pick up the
telephone and say clearly, Mrs. So and
Sos residence or apartment" as the
case may be.
A pad and pencil must be placed
beside the phone. SO that any mes
sage can be taken quickly and accu-
rately.

and how to handle 1t from his first
wife. He is house broken. 50 to speak,
and, particularly. he is bill-broken.
And not infrequently, although the
widower may not give his second wife
the romantic love which he gave his
first wife. he gives her a deeper pas
sion, for the first love may have been
just a hobbledehoy affection that he
outgrew, while his second love is the
full abiding love of his manhood.
So don't marry widower II you
are going to be jealous of his first
wife; and don't marry any man if
your freedom looks better to you than
he does Because a wonn's personal
liberty is the one offering that mar
riage invariably requires her to sacri-
flee. The wife must give up her
time, her thoughts, her attention. her
pleasures, her desires and tastes to her
husband and children. There is no
getting around that. 1t Is the very
essence of the marriage bond.
Furthermore, don't marry your
widower unless you love children and

your husbands little boys. There is
no crime greater than that of being

The Old Gardener Soys:

There are q few points which
may be Of no little value to
women who grow flowers in the
house. especially when the COM
mon clay pot Is being used. The
average greenhouse man keeps all
his flowers on . moist surface, and
this plan can be followed to ad-
vantage when flowers are grown
In a warm. dry living room. One
method is to keep the pots on
pebbles which cover q metal tray
made with sides an inch and q
half or two inches high, such as
any tinsmith can make. The
water that passes through the
pots will work its way around the
pebbles and be evaporated gradu-
ally. Additional water may be
poured into the pan itself, thus
creating q moist atmosphere,
which will be most advantageous.
Another way. and simpler one,
is to set the potted plant on a
shallow layer Of moist sphagnum
moss. This can be done readily
by using two pots, one much
larger than the other, or by set
ting the pot IN q wide saucer.
