Dorothy Dix Says
Lack of Early Discipline Certain
To Bring Regret Later in Life

and open-handed, the shrew so mild
that butter wouldn't melt in her
mouth, the selfish turned into altru-
lists. In real life these things never
happen
The parents of this girl never
taught her to control her temper.
they never taught her to hold her
tongue when she was angry; they
never taught her to play fair or to
do without the things she wanted.
AS result they have made an over
bearing selfish virago. who will in
evitably ruin her own life and the
life of any man she may marry.

Dear Miss Dix: A few years
ago l became a strict member of
creed different from that of my
parents or relatives and I am trou-
bled because can't make my peo-
pie embrace my religion and unless
I save them how are they to spend
eternity with me? My husband has
left me rather than be by my side
in this struggle. My only brother
might be persuaded to join me eX-
cept for his wife, who would leave
him if he did, so he goes with her
and follows her creed and they work
so hard for their religion. I know
they would be much happier in
mine. My only sister and her family
won't have me around because l
am trying to spread my gospel. They
are also workers in another creed
Why can't they see the true way
with me? What can I do to save
these who are so dear to me?
ALONE.
AnsWer-What makes you so sure
that you alone are right in your
religious belief and that all of your
family and friends, who are intelli-
gent men and women, are wrong
and incapable of choosing their own
creed?
Evidently you have forgotten that
this Nation was founded by men and
women who fed to what was then
far and unknown land, but whose
hardships they were willing to brave
for the privilege of worshipping God
according to the dictates of their
own consciences. This right the
Constitution of the United States
still guarantees to us and I advise
you to respect it.

Answering
Readers
Queries
Hostess Cannot Ask
Guests to Refrain
From Smoking
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: How can I be
courteous about letting visitors in
my house know that I do not like
cigarette smoke? Any one using
strong perfume is supposed to be
showing very bad taste, and yet
cigarette smoke smells equally
strong, to say nothing of smoke
drenched clothes worn by the in
veterate smokers. When I have to
spend day or evening with smok-
ers I am completely seasick.
Answer: If people you care very
little about are the smokers, the
solution is simple enough, since you
need not continue inviting them to
your house. If, however, all the
people you like best smoke, you
will, am afraid. have to accustom
yourself to smoke or resign your
self to loneliness. On the other
hand, think it only fair to men,
ton that your friends should in
their turn show reasonable consid-
Grafton for you. Every smoker
should realize that smoking at a
dinner table which has not been
furnished with ash trays and Gig
arettes is a breach of etiquette.
After the meal, of course, the
question of courtesy goes into re-
verse, and those who dislike smoke
are-unhappily for themselves-ex-
pected to tolerate it. One thing that
might help you-if you have not
already discovered it's to remove
the dead ends constantly from the
ash trays or, better still, get espe-
cial ash receivers with water COM
partments beneath trap tops which
prevent that stale smell, which is
more than likely the cause of your
feeling of seasickness.
= Dear Mrs. Post: After We were
married two weeks ago, my husband
was presented with a radio by his
fellow office workers. They gave it
to him at the Office and he brought
it home. Now he thinks that I
should write note to his boss,
thanking every one, whereas I feel
that they did not intend it to be
wedding present to me personally.
If they had they would have sent
the radio to our house, wouldn't
they?
Answer-I think you are perfectly
right, that it was a present to him
individually and that you should
not be expected to thank them. In
fact, I think if you wrote note
now it would be like getting up to
take bow to an audience who has
applauded your husbands speech.

Dear Miss Dix: A girl of 20 is soon
to be married to fine young man
She is very willful. She is very high
tempered She is always hunting
arguments. She never appreciates
anything. All of her life she has had
her way in virtually everything. If
she wanted car, she got it. If she
wanted expensive dresses and shoes,
she got them. She gets everything
and anything her heart desires. At
present she works in an Office. When
she comes home to meals she fights
about things at the Office. She fights
fights, fights. Her parents are heart
broken by her ways and just can't
stand it any longer. Can you tell us
what is wrong and how to solve our
problem? HER FAMILY.
AnsWer-It looks as if the poor
young man who is going to marry
this selfish young ShreW is about to
solve your problem of how to get rid
of her. But it is pitiful to think Of
the life of torture into which he is
innocently blundering. However, he
probably won't stand her temper and
her tantrumS and her eXactions very
long, for it doesn't take prophet to
foresee that she will be one of the
women who spend most Of their time
in the divorce court.
For in this day, and with this
generation of men, hens teeth are no
rarer than meek and patient hus-
bands who bow their heads to their
wives abuse and let it roll over them
without their resenting it. Nor are
there many men who will stand for
scrappy wives. They get all the
fighting they want in business, and
when they come home they want
peace and quiet, not to be forced
into pitched battle.
But any chance of changing a girl
who for 20 years has ridden rough
shod over her family is simply hope
less. All of her faults of temper and
temperament have been set too deep
ly in her character ever to be
changed, They have become as much
a part of the individual as his or her
skin. 1t is only in movies that
miracle occurs in the last chapter
that makes the drunkard reform and
become sober, the crouch sunny and
weet-tempered, the miser generous

Luxuries Nav
Be Had After
Teach Children
Way to Value
Their Money
BY ANGELO PATRI,

Mother was sitting at her desk,
brows knitted over her account
books. Gladys came tripping into
the room.
oh, here you are. I was looking
all over the house for you. Listen,
mother. I have to have new eve
ming dress for the dance. o, yes I
must, now. Don't say a word until
you hear what I have to tell you.
Don King has invited me to go
to the prom. Imagine! 1 never
expected it, really. I might have
had a little weeny hope, but he
called me up this afternoon and set
the date. I'm so excited
There's love of dress in Jules
window. Perfect for me. I can't
wait until you see it. Only $50, too. y
Fifty dollars! Norma, are you
crazy? Where do you think III get
it? I'm about out of my mind try
ing to pay the household bills now.
Your father is not sleeping nights,
worrying over bills and business.
You've had three new evening
dresses this year, and your father
hasn't had new overcoat in four
years. Now put this dress out of
your mind and wear one of the
others. You must"
That's simply ridiculous. Imagine
what the girls would say if I went
to this prom in my old gown. 1t
simply can't be done. Now do man
age it. mother. Get around father
some way. I know you will find a
way for me, darling. You are proud
OF me, and so is father Just come
and look at it. Let me try it on.
PleaSe!"
OF course she got the gown, and
the things that went with it cost as
much as it did and the butcher and
the grocer and the doctor had to
wait, and father had go on wearing
his old clothes, and mother hers;
and the broken pipe went on leak
ing and juniors teeth had to do
the best they could. Sister simply
had to have her evening gown.
When this sort of thing happens
it is not the girl or the boy who is
to blame. If one rears children so
that they expect to get anything
they happen to want, regardless of
what it costs other people, if one
brings up family in total ignorance
of family finances, the children can
not be blamed for selfishness They
are ignorant of the implications of
their behavior and that ignorance
is the blossom of their rearing
If one teaches a child that his
food has to be paid for, that his
clothes cost money, that entertain
ment must come after necessities
and not before, ones child will not
rend him in soulless ignorance some
day. And if children are reared to
consider the father and mother who
make their comforts possible, who
earn the security their children en-
joy, these children will not some
day leave them alone, dependent
and helpless.
When children first begin to ask
for spending money it is time tc
teach them how to use it. As they
grow older their responsibilities are
increased and they are informed
more fully about the source and the
amount of their supplies. Wher
their intelligence and family sensi-
bilities are sufficiently developed
they are taken into partnership with
father and mother, all secrets told
and allowed their share in the fam
lily business. Children reared in that
way are not likely to grow into
soulless gimmes. They are very
likely to grow into intelligent, help
full, self-sustaining young men ano
women.

CURRY OF LAMB WITH RICE.
1t seems odd to eat hot things to
make one cooler-but curry is
favorite in the tropics, which should
prove something!
Buy one pound of lamb shoulder
and remove gristle and fat from it.
Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes and
brown the pieces in three table
spoons fat. Pour over the meat one
cup boiling water and add one-half
teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon
black pepper, three-fourths teaspoon
curry powder more or less depend
ing on how hot you like your food,
one tablespoon chopped onion, two
tablespoons minced parsley. Cover
the mixture, and let the meat SIM
mer for about 25 minutes, until ten
der. Thicken the stock with a little
flour, and cook and stir it for two
Turn into a ring of hot
steamed rice and serve garnished
with parsley. You may pass the
traditional chutney. chopped pea
nuts, coconut, chopped onions.
Bombay duck, etc, along with the
curry if you wish, but for a small
family there is no real obligation
to do so.
RASPBERRY CREAM PIE.
p cup sugar
612 tablespoons flour.
s4 teaspoon salt.
212 cups milk.
2 eggs.
l tablespoon butter.
l teaspoon vanilla.
cups raspberries.
BAKED PIE SHELL.
Mix sugar, flour and salt in a
double boiler. Add milk gradually
and cook for about IS minutes or
until thickened. stirring constantly
at first and then occasionally. Add
little of this mixture to the slightly
beaten eggs and mix we'll. Beat this
INTO the first mixture and cook for
minute longer, stirring constantly.
Add butter and vanilla and cool
slightly. Place one cup of the rasp-
berries in the bottom of a baked pie
shell. Pour the cream filling over
the berries and when partially cool
top with the remaining berries.

Don't hesitate to show an interest
in the position by asking questions
about the work. If your questions
are intelligent Mr.. Smith will ap-
prove OF them. And don't be afraid
OF showing your lack of knowledge
concerning the job. If he knows
that you have had no experience
in similar line he won't expect
you to know: he will want YOU to
seem eager to learn.
This Is How
You're Judged:
Mr.. Smith will judge YOU on the
way you look, the way you talk
and the way you act. Your attitude
should be friendly but business
like. No arch glances, if you're a
girl. No attempts at wisecracks, If
you're boy. No chip-on n-the-sholl-
der, 1'm-as-good-as-you-are inde-
pendence. Just quiet self-confi-
dence, alert interest and friendlv
cooperation in making the inter-
view as productive as possible.
Mr.. Smith will let you know un-
mistakably when the conversation
Is over. If you miss out on the
job, you take it with a smile, tell
him you're sorry, thank him sim
cerely and leave. If he says he'll
let you know later. you thank him
and tell him you'll wait to hear
from him. You don't put him on
the spot by quizzing him as to when
he'll get in touch with you.
II you get the job without further
effort you don't become effusive.
You express your pleasure, quietly
and voice the conviction that he
won't be disappointed in you. And
you leave Mr.. Smiths office treading
on air, knowing that you have come
through a severe test with flying
colors.

sion you make in few minutes.
An ordeA? Surely. But also an
exciting challenge. You're going to
beard this employer in his den and
walk out with a job!
You prepare carefully for the in
terview. You are freshly bathed
and freshly clad from the skin out.
You're neatly and quietly dressed in
the most appropriate clothes you

your fingernails are clean and your
shoes are shined.
If you're a girl, you avoid any,
thing that looks like a frivolous
'good-time" dress. A suit is splen-
did, if the weather is cool; a SIM
pie print will do nicely if it's hot.
Wear your most conservative hat,
because many men have violent
opinions about this seasons head

makeup, red nail polish, jewelry
and perfume.
II you're a man, you wear quiet
| well-pressed suit, clean shirt and
a tie and socks that speak in whis-
pers rather than shouts. You are
carefully shaved and your hair is
neat but not plastered down.
Be Sure That You
Arrive on Time.
Since your interview is at 10
O'Clock, you arrive at 10, or a few
minutes earlier. You give your
name, and explain that you have
been asked to come for an inter-
view. Then you are ushered into
the office of Mr.. Smith, the en-
ploymAt manager.
You enter confidently, but not
aggressively, holding yourself erect
You smile, say good morning and
tell Mr.. Smith who you are. Mr.
Smith asks you to have a chair
and he probably takes out your letter
of application and glances over it.
While you are waiting don't fight

slouching or crossing your legs.

and concisely, giving him all the

to talk, without asking definite ques-

statements to facts which will be

Knitting and crocheting are said
to have a quieting effect on the
nerves, and as one may think and

Some famous men knit, preferring

Cherries are better than ever this
year, 1t seems to me. Making news
are large, real russet pears from
acknowledgements but beautiful
and sweet as sugar. Fat, round. light

are at their best, and cantaloupes
are improving every day. Don't
overlook the fresh figs, for their
season is short, and prepare to en-
JOY plenty of plums and peaches
they seem unusually fine this year.
Wealth of Vegetables
Prove Tempting.
AS for the egetables-well, there's
almost everything to be had. Espe-
cially fresh and crisp were the
zucchini squash, and the popular
acorn variety is selling well, too.
Corn is still gamble; some ship
ments are excellent, others poor in
quality. It's bit early yet-we can
wait! There are good firm tomatoes
to be had, and peas are outstand-
ingly sweet and tender. Plenty of
beets, young carrots and new cab
bage; the caulifloWer and eggplant
in most places look decidedly tired.
Best to wait for them until the new
crops start coming in.
Meats and poultry remain about
the same for the most part. The
lighter meats are being stressed in
hot weather, and dealers report good
response on the part of purchasers.
Among the meat products easy to
prepare and on the light side one
finds marrow bones, exceedingly
cheap and tasty. Have the butcher
saw the bones for you-one section
per person is enough-about one or
one and half inches thick. Season
them well with salt and pepper and
put them in a hot oven for about
20 minutes until they are cooked
through. Serve them on pieces of
toast or on slices of ham if you pre-
fer. The marrow may be eaten with
q spoon.
Other Hot Weather

And while we're on the subject.
don't overlook the possibilities of
sweetbreads and frog legs on the

course, be bit high for the budget,
