Dorothy Dix Says
Professional Women Have No One
To Share Their Burdens

The price that women nearly al
ways pay for their successes Is los
ing their husbands. as is amply
proved by the fact that most career
women are divorces. Yet these vo-
men long just as much for love and
encouragement and the home brand
of f1attery, which is the headlest wine
on earth. as men do. Many man
succeeds because his wife is right
behind him. backing him up. be-
lieving in him. urging him on. Many
woman fails because her husband
blankets all Of her hopes and
aspirations, belittles her talents and
throws so many obstacles in her
path that she gives up in despair
and quits.
Then. too. the business and pro-
fessional woman virtually always
has double job. When she does the
work of a man she doesn't get out
of having to do the work of wo-
man. Nobody expects merchant to
be anything but merchant, or for
a lawyer or a doctor to get dinner
and scrub out the bathroom and
darn their own socks when they get
home after hard days work. On
the contrary, it is conceded that the
Tired Business Man should be PAM
pered and petted, amused and di-
verted, and thus prepared to meet
the labors of another day.
But does the Tired Business WO-
man receive any such considerations?
Not at all. Husband doesn't meet
wife with glad. sweet smile and
have a smoking dinner on the table
ready for her when she returns
from a grueling day at the Office.
He assumes the attitude of an early
Christian martyr because she is
late. He grumbles because the house
isn't spic -and-span and her cook
ing isn't up to some other woman's
standards. The reason so many
working women break down is be-
cause they have to make the dough
as we'll as bake it. and listen to their
husbands criticisms to boot.

Gus and gay to brighten you up.
Here's a charming little design Gre
ated for that very purpose. The
short-sleeved afternoon frock with
soft details is very important right
now anyhow, and this one has such
softness and charm! Shirred at the
sides, the skirt is gracefully full.
Shirred at the shoulders, the bodice
has smart, slightly bloused line,
as we'll as a high, square neck and
Victorian sleeves.
Choose this design for your mid
season print, for a new jewel-one
silk crepe or velvet. Add dainty
lace to the sleeves and neckline for
special f1attery, and tie velvet ribbon
about the doll waist. See If it doesn't
make you into a gayer, prettier
person!

Insufficient
Energy in
A Child
Defective Eyesight
Or Hearing May
Be the Cause
By ANGELO PATRI.

THE teacher says that Tommy Is
lazy. He does not finish his work.
He has 80 examples to do and he
does about 10 and stops; then goes
wandering off somewhere until the
teacher calls his name about three
times. What is to be done with him?
He is bright. He can do this work.
Why doesn't he?"
Because, for some reason that I
have no means of discovering, he
tires about the tenth example, and
his mind closes down. When that
happens Tommy is out. He can no
more go on working those examples
than you can fly off on a broom
stick So when he brings home an
other bad report, you have to stay
with both feet on the ground. If you
realize that Tommy has only GER
tain amount of energy to spend at
one time. on one thing. it will help
steady you, and him.
Why hasn't he enough energy
when the other children have? Be-
cause he hasn't He is Tommy. and
Tommy is like that. We would like
him to have the power to do those
35 examples. his daily stint, but
it is no fault of his that he hasn't
got it. and we are not to talk as
though it were. We have to find
why he hasn't got what it takes.
When a child tires as early in a
lesson as Tommy does always sus-
pect his vision. Many, many times
such child has been enabled to do
everything required of him without
fatigue just by having a pair OF
glasses fitted to his eyes. He may
not like that. but it cannot be helped.
Usually he says nothing and wears
them. soon forgetting he was with
out them. The work they do for him
endcars them soon enough.
Sometimes it is a defect in hear
ing. Trying to hear what is being
said. and constantly failing. is
terrible feeling, a severe strain that
nobody can stand for long. Again
the mind mercifully shuts down and
relieves the sufferer, Test the hear
ing of any dreamy school child and
make certain he gets help if he
needs it.
Sometimes there is another sort Of
functional disorder that is draining
the child's energy. Malnutrition. in
digestion, any of the ills of the body,
will make him weary early in the
day. Test all such children to find
the cause of their fatigue. Marks,
discipline and rewards are useless
until the cause is found and re-
moved.
When it has been found and
treated, there will be no immediate
right about face in his work. The
improvement will come gradually.
He has not formed working habits;
he has missed much of the class
work, and he will have to have
special attention for time until he
catches up.
Have him work his examples with
couple of other pupils, on the
board. one by one. Don't hand such
child 80 items of work at once.
And cut down his allotment. Re-
duce the number of examples, the
amount of reading to be done, the
number of words to spell. until
he gathers power. That will en-
courage and strengthen him more
than anything else you can do
after he has had the treatment
he needs.

The real reason that women can
never seriously compete with men in
business and the professions is be-
cause they can never have wives.
For a wife isn't merely the incarna-
ton of loves young dream or even
a household convenience. She is the
foundation stone to success.
She is an alibi She is an escape
valve. She is home comforts and
home cooking. She is liaison Off
Ger between her husband and So
ciety. She is a booster. She is a
press agent. She is comforter in
time OF trouble and nurse in sick
ness. She pinch-hits for her hus-
band in religion and tells his white
lies for him. And. lacking all OF
this assistance. it is no wonder that
so few women ever get anywhere
when they stray out of their own kit
chens and drawing rooms.
Of course. business and profess
sional women do have husbands. but
even so, husband is oftener ham
dicap than help to an ambitious
wife. For he is not a builder upper
for her as she would be for him II
he were going places. He is dis
gruntled crouch who is doing his
darndest to pull her down and hold
her back.
Men do not look upon their wives
careers with the same eyes that
their wives look upon theirs. A wife
simply bursts with pride if her hus-
band is a go-getter. She does every
thing in her power to push him
along and is happy basking in his
reflected glory. But there are very
few men who are not burned up by
their wives successes and who do
not consider it a deadly insult to be
known as merely the husbands of
their wives. Men like to have their
wives praised for their looks and
their cooking, but when it comes to
their achievements outside of the
hOme-nO dice.

ing them and practicing them until
they become an automatic part OF
you. The latter course will be neces-
sary If you've never known quite
what is expected of you.
Out in Hollywood, we watched a
famous actress play the part of a
great lady-but before the grinding
cameras only. The moment the
scene was completed she broke into
a torrent of abuse! A luckless elec-
trician had accidentally dragged
cable over the train of her dress. A
well-mannered lady? No! You can't
turn good manners off and on like
a faucet. They have to become a
basic. personal part of you. They
aren't an act, but living reality.
Well-mannered people are self
possessed and gracious because they
know they're doing the right thing.
And that's exactly why we're writing
a number of columns on the subject
to help you to check on your own
behavior and do the right thing and
the natural thing.
The basic rule is simply this:
Thoughtfulness always! If you'll
keep your mind hitting on all l6,
you'll find many opportunities to
perform the little courtesies, and
the big ones, too, which mean so
much. And when it's your turn to
be on the receiving end, be sure that
you are properly appreciative. A
thank you smile can do the trick, or
the pleasant words themselves.
Your attitude toward good man
ners and etiquette often has an i'm
portant influence on your popularity
as a person-and on your desirability
as a date" For instance, if you're
a boy, the maids will have good
reason to turn down your invita-
tions if you make rude remarks
about strangers encountered on the
street, shove them around by the
elbow. fail to open doors. fail to
help them with coats, lounge all over
the furniture, and make a swOOzllng
sound when you finish double
chocolate matted.
If you're a maid the boys expect
you to be waiting in the living room
when they arrive. ready for date.
They expect you to be a gracious
guest during the evening, entering
Fundamentally into the occasion,
Your telephone voice is important
to them lit should be alive and
friendly when they ring your num-
ber. and they like to be thanked
for courtesies and little favors-no
matter how usual they may be.
The most popular maids and men
are those who do the little things
we'll and the big things with imagi-
nation. and equally we'll. They make
the most of all opportunities-there-
by making the most Of themselves.
They know that natural good man.
ners are stepping-stones to popu-
larity.
So don't be afraid to be seen
poring over Emily Post at the library.

featured in this column from time
to time and give your attention to

and skill will work wonders.
And now for the stufhngs. Master
minds have something to say IN
this matter. so we shall let them
speak for themselves.
Specialists of the Bureau OF Home
Economics offer this rule on how
many crumbs to allow for BIRDS OF
different size:
For every pound of bird that
weighs less than 10 pounds use
CUP of bread crumbs, minus one
For a bird weighing 10 pounds or
more, use cup of crumbs, per
pound of bird, minus two.
Count the weight of the bird as
YOU buy it in the market, dressed
that is plucked, but not drawn, ana
with the head and feet attached.
Thus, for a 4-pound bird, whether
chicken, duck or guinea hen, you
will need three cups of crumbs.
For a 5-pound bird allow four cups.
And for l2-pollnd turkey or goose
10 cups of bread crumbs should be
enough. Usually l-pound loaf OF
bread makes about l quart OF
medium dry bread crumbs.
"Among the seasoning possibilities,
herbs alone offer wide choice.
Some of our grandmother's favorites
are back in fashion now with the
revival of the kitchen herb garden
summer savory, thyme. sweet mar
ioram. Mixed herbs. such as savory
and poultry seasoning. are probably
safest for the hostess who is not well
acquainted with her guests tastes.
Sage still holds prominence, but is
most effective in very small quantl-
ties. Celery seed is also excellent
when used with caution.
Seasoning vegetables - celery
parsley and onion-have a better
favor If chopped fine and fried in
fat for few moments. Try out
some of the fat from the bird, if
there is any to spare. Or sometimes
enough fat comes in the bits OF crisp
salt pork. bacon or sausage added
to the stuffing.
And. if possible. fry the seasoning
vegetables in a skillet or pan large
enough to hold bread crumbs and
all. Then the stuffing can go into
the bird piping hot. Putting the
stuff1ng hot into the bird speeds up
the roasting and improves flavor.
But if your time plan calls for stuff
ing the turkey on the day before the
big feast, keep the stuffing cool. and

times decided disadvantage.
IF you want something just a
little different for the 1888 Thanks
giving stuffing, add mushrooms to
the bread crumb base. For MUSH-
ROOM STUFFING, with delight
full flavor, allow pound of mush-
rooms to every quart of crumbs. To
get full benefit of the mushroom
flavor. fry them in butter for or
10 minutes, before adding them to
the crumbs. A generous quantity
of chopped celery and parsley are
good with mushrooms, but it's better
to reduce onion, herb and other
potent seasonings to minimum, as
they mask the mushroom flavor.
Nuts, in large or small quantity,
also do much to improve a plain
bread stuffing. For a true NUT
STUFFING, a good proportion is
about one-third as many chopped
nuts as bread crumbs.
For the popular CHESTNUT
STUFFING, the easiest way to re-
move the shells and brown skins is
to boil the nuts for about IS min
utes. Then keep them very hot,
while you cut off the outside layers
with a sharp knife.
"Blanched filberts, or blanched
sliced almonds or Brazil nuts give
a pleasing bit of crispness. Pecans
are very rich and are best broken
in pieces. Peanuts. pine nuts and
walnuts are also good. Stir the nuts
into the crumb mixtures just before
stutting the bird.
APPLE STUFFING. popular with
those who have a slightly sweet
tooth, is especially good with duck
or stuffed spareribs of pork. The
stuffing will have more apple flavor
and be less compact if the apples
are candied before they are added
to the mixture. To do this select
very firm. tart apples and after they
are pared and cubed. sprinkle with
sugar, and cook slowly in fat in an
uncovered skillet until the Juice
evaporates. Good proportions TO
every cup of bread crumbs are or

Hard Brushing Does
More Than Just
Remove Dust
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

There is more to hair brushing
than Just removing the dust from
your tresses! Scientific brushing not
only keeps your hair clean but it
creates much needed blood circula-
ton in your head which in turn
provides nourishment for your hair
and your brain!
Don't tell me to brush my hair.
for will not do it. said woman
to me recently. Her hair. naturally
was dry. fading and unruly. She
was in dither about it and she
was looking for miracle prepara-
ton which she could just rub on
her scalp once in while!
There are no miracle prepara-
tions for the scalp and hair. First
and foremost is the need for daily
brushing with strong. long bristled
brush. A good brush is sound in
vestment in hair beauty and head
health! Save your pennies and get
a good one Then teach yourself
how to brush scientifically.
Stand with your feet apart and
bend down from the waist, letting
your head hang. Comb your hair
out free. Then with your brush be-
gin at the very roots and with slow,
firm pressure push it to the ends
of the hair.
Separate the hair in sections so
that you will cover the entire scalp.
AS you master this stroke you may
find yourself swaying rhythmically
as you brush-which is good. For
those minutes devoted to the hair
will also timber your spine and help
to slim your waistline!
