A MOTHER gadget, but one that is
not brand-new on the market, al
though I don't believe that 30 many
people know about it. Is the iceless
freezer. Make certain that your re-
frigerator Is able to maintain q tenn
perature of 10 and II degrees or this
freezer will not work. If you find your
icebox adequate, by all means pur-
chase one, for it will give you ice cream

1t comes only in the quart size CYL
inder. The top Of the cylinder has the,
whipping paddles attached and also
the electrical attachment that must be
plugged into your wall. The thin
rubber cord will not interfere with the
closing Of the refrigerator door. The
length Of time necessary for freezing
Is about IS minutes or an hour and
due to this length Of time, and the
slow beating. your cream should be
Just about perfect.

KITTY has other stock tricks, but
probably the most effective Is that
question. Dusty. which would you
rather be, dead or married?" Dusty
Immediately fiops over on the floor.
Cooks very proud. 50 Is Dusty.
Sort Of reminds one Of Peter Rab-
bit, vacationing in Virginia during the
summer months. Oh! he's 4 town cat
In cold weather, but Just let the hot
months come and into the car hops
Peter Rabbit bound for his summer
estate. There probably isn't another
cat for miles around. but that's o. X.
with Peter Rabbit. His friends are the
skunks who live on the other side Of
the hill, beyond the pasture The
kitty's first thought is to call on his
neighbors. Mr.. and Mrs. Skunk and
Junior can be seen marching across
the hill. single 11le, to repay the call.
Peter brings them into the house.
From then on. during the long summer
months, Peter Rabbit and his skunk
friends play back and forth. Such q
situation has been going on for long
time and all's well.
The skunks behave with perfect de-
corum. Peters folks are very careful
not to startle them in any manner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Skunk and family are
treated with the polite regard due
Peters guests. No one tries to pet
them. They might not like it. Still,
they feel at home enough to curl up in
the telephone chair for a nap. A
shocking discovery. even when dis
covered in time
Dusty and Peter are remarkable, no
doubt, but there's still another famous
cat His name was Grumpy. He was
a cat of the booming West. either Mon
tana or Oregon. Anyway. in that gen.
eral location. He belonged to q young
woman who logged around quite q bit.
Grumpy's mistress was going to the
beach for q vacation. It was to be
something Of family affair, . cousin
or two. One Of those cousins owned a
cat. She was determined to bring her
pet and didn't quite like the idea of
having another member Of the same
tribe along. Finally, the issue settled
down to Grumpy with mistress. or no
Grumpy, no mistress. Grumpy and
escort came.
The other cat was Persian of very
high breeding. Grumpy came from
good old Alley stock. Nobody expected
to pay him much attention except his
mistress. Persian kitty carried on
something awful. He wouldn't eat.
He yowled. He decided that house.
breaking rules were not for him.
Grumpy, on the other hand, sat At the
table for meals, slept on his mistress
bed and even went out in the boat
Grabbing and fishing. While the Per-
sian pussy was sulking under q bed,
Grumpy would be sitting upon the bow
of a boat. getting a nice coat Of tan
and helping with the Grabbing. There
wasn't a phase Of that summers va
cation tn which he didn't take part.

A RRIv1NG late at play is = prac- :,
tice in which the "smartest people
indulge. But don't care. I don't like
it. And think it ought to be punished.
1t is very disturbing to have the first
few minutes Of the play. when you are
supposed to be getting your characters
straight and figuring out their rela- =,
tionships to each other, to be con. :
stantly interrupted by people trying
to crawl over you. Even if they are Ill
sitting in the next row. you are dis
turbed What with the rustling Of
their programs and the creaking Of
their seats, you miss all the important
words in the first act -.
It's horrible. It's even upeetting ut.

Theater managers should. I feel. be
the ones to do something about this
situation. They should refuse to allow
any one past the door after the curtain
has gone up or the main feature has
started. They could have a ping pong
table in the lobby to keep their be-
lated patrons happy until an intermis-
sion.
But theater managers are apparently
too weak minded for that. Or else.
they've been brought up on the theory
that the customer is always right Well,-
I'm customer, too. What about me?"

ways and that her judgment Is In.
fallible.
So the only possible way to get
along with a mother-in-law of the
kind you have Is Just to accept her
as she is and try to make the best
OF her. Try to see what is good in
her and shut your eyes to the bad.
Try to get your mother-in.laws
point Of view that her married son
Is still . little boy to her. She doesn't
realize that he doesn't stu have to
be told to wash behind his ears, not
to get his feet wet and to watch for
automobiles when he crosses the
street. It is her love and solicitude
that are back of the nagRine that
gets 50 upon your nerves. It Is be-
cause she has so few interests in life
that she prizes into al of your affairs
and has to know what everything
costs, what you did yesterday and
are going to do tomorrow. Ageravat-
ing as that is, it Is pitiful, too, and
you should deal with it mercifully,
thinking how full your own life is Of
love and interests.
Most Of all, you should make any
sacrifice to get along with your
mother-in-law because that Is the
strongest hold you can have upon
your husband. There Is no other
one thing for which q man is so
grateful to his wife as for showing
q little forbearance to his mother,
There Is no other one thing that
wife can do that will 60 so far to-
ward making her husband happy
as to be friends with his mother.
For, you see, your husband loves
his mother. He doesn't see her faults
rs clearly as you do because he is
accustomed to them and, anyway, he
Is bound to her by q thousand ties
that . wife breaks at her peril. No
man Is ever put in q crueler position
than the one who Is called upon to
take sides between his mother snd
his wife who are fighting over him
like dogs over a bone and tearing
him to pieces in their feud. You
can't change your mother in Jaw,
oue you can yourself. Suppose you
try 1t.

HIS name Is Dusty. son Of Poof.
That makes him Persian on his
mothers side. Some of the unusual
intelligence Of this particular furry
member Of society might be attributed
to the care given him by his owner.
Dustys mother belongs to q physi-
clan. One day, when Dusty was Just
q small bit Of half breed kitten the
doctor decided to make . present Of
him to q patient Of hers who was
more or less restricted in activities
on account of bad health. Dusty
took . ride in the car that day, and
wound up at new home. From then
on he's received q most remarkable
education. His mistress wasn't able
to do much Of anything else SO she
devoted her full time and attention
to him.
First, he learned to sit up, asking
for what he wanted. Then he was
shown how to open doors. The kitty
formed = deep-seated passion for the
porch swing. The weather became
too cold for the kitten and his mis-
tress, thereupon. because Dusty loved
1t SO. had the porch swing brought
inside the house and set up.
Words mean something to this cat.
His mistress will say Dead cat." and
Dusty Hops over on the floor as dead
looking as can be, only there's one
eye open to see If he's being appre-
ciated. When papa holds his arms
in loop, Dusty leaps through. Fur
thermore, he'll Jump through three
loops at once, man-made or artificial.
If they're too far apart, Dusty'll land
on the floor between each hop, and
bounce up again.

Listen, Helen Marie. I can't get
the reindeer. The man can't give him

because you couldn't take care of him.
There isn't room. I tell you you can't

By the time father reached the last

people came from all parts Of the ZOO
to see what was happening. Helen
Marie had good lungs and stout heart.
And she wanted that reindeer which
carried its head so proudly and waved
those lovely branches on top Of 1t so
gracefully. She wanted it. That was
all that counted. All that had ever
counted up to now. Here were these

After father and mother had talked
themselves out they came to an UNDER

training in the morning, and mother
was to be the teacher. Father was

How tOGain
A Perfect
Posture
Try the West Point
Trick of Placing
Arms Properly.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

SPRING seems to be open season
for preachment on posture. To
be SURE. 1t Is synonymous with clothes.
And clothes can be made or msrred
by how they are carried Of"
You can look like the proverbial
million or more in q comparatively
inexpensive garment If you carry
yourself well. because then you auto
matically wear your clothes we'll too.
Adopt the West Point attitude and
you can forget posture worries. The
West Point attitude is simply this:
Arms straight at the sides, palms
facing front. little finger close to the
body, thumb almost horizontal. Try
1t. Not quite as easy as 1t sounds,
is It? But can you adopt this atti-
tude while slumping? Impossible!
Once you have arms and hands in
the West Point position you auto
matically pull chest up. shoulders In
normal position, abdomen in and up.
and it isn't quite as much a strain
as the detailed up-up-up position,
besides there is less to remember.
In that position get a good look
at yourself in a full-length mirror.
Try walking back and forth around
the room without relaxing into a
slump. Then back up against .
wall and see how straight your back
is If the small Of the back almost
touches the wall 50 that the spine
Is . fairly straight line then you can
mark yourself passed" In the acid
test Of posture.
It Is just as easy-well, almost Is
easy anyway-to fall into the habit
Of good posture as 1t Is to fall into
poor posture attitudes. Keep prac-
ticing the West Point position. Keep
it up when you stand and walk, and
when you sit maintain the same ab-
domen In, chest up, back straight
position. In time you won't even need
. girdle Or bras" I used the word
need" advisedly. I'm not suggesting
that you discard them. They're fine;
but its most gratifying when you
need them for moral support only!

- law She has a fiery tenn
perament. but she is generous and
open-handed. She has two sons
whom she still regards as little chill
dren and thinks they should let her
dictate to them. She is very med
ding. Has to know Ill our business,
the price Of everything we buy, even
the clothing and groceries: then she
broadcasts all Of our affairs to the
balance Of the family. She bosses
me around and tells me how she does
this and that. and how I should buy
such and such . bargain, which
intimates that I don't know anything.
I feel like telling her to mind her

my husband doesn't want to tell her
for fear of hurting her feelings. He
says she is old and doesn't mean

it is very hard not to say q word

her own furniture, put things where
she likes them and bring up her chill
