Question: Can you please tell me
what caused the chocolate on the
mint candies dipped to have light
ana dark Streaks? It was also much
too thin on the candies.
Answer: Probably you melted the
chocolate at too high q temperature,
and dipped the mints while the choc-
olate was still quite warm. For the
best dipped chocolates you should
buy the kind Of chocolate especially
designed for this purpose. It should
be meated over lukewarm water, not
over hot water; 50 that the chocolate
Will never really be warm to the
touch. This low melting tempera-
ture Is necessary for two reasons. It
prevents the starch from thickening
and causing the Objectionable
streaks. Also dipping chocolate
contains . very large percentage of
cocoa butter that melts ut a low
temperature, and scorches easily.
Before dipping mints, or any kind
OF candies. the chocolate should be
cooled still further Ito IS or 80 de-
grees), or until 1t is just as cool as
you can get 1t without 1t becoming
solid. Then 1t will leave a rich,
heavy coat on the candles. But If
the chocolate is warm-and thin
1t will Slide" right of.
Question: Does the color Of the
shell of an egg make any difference
In It's food value?
Answer: No, the color of the shell
OF an egg Is determined by the
breed Of the hen, and as far as can
be learned has no influence on the
flavor or food value of the egg.
Even the color Of the yolk is not q
reliable indication Of its food value,
as either pale or deeper colored yolks
may be rich In important vitamins
and minerals.

This design is simplicity itself
Yet 1t has lot of dash and charm
1t is a particularly good example
OF the youthful type in women S
sizes. Just by skilful use of darts,
the bodice achieves fullness over the
bust, and a slim Waistline. It's
exactly what you want right now,
for general wear under your heavy
winter coat, and it will be exactly
as good in the spring, with a fur
jacket or fur scarf. The high
shoulders and the f1ared skirt are
increasingly popular. Therefore
this is design you will certainly
use time and again, especially since
It's 50 easy to make.
You'll enjoy having it III wool

silk print in tailored patterning

was all for allowing gifts, myself
But she says absolutely no. And she
spoke with such authority, and
looked so impressive in her spotless
white, that I had to subside.
She says it embarrasses the
nurses. 1t makes them feel that the
public doesn't realize that their
profession is one with dignity. Also
she claims that nurses are well
enough paid, and don't need hand
outs. (Of course that might be
doubted in some circles, but we'll
leave that discussion to the econ
omists)
Anyhow land this is probably the
most important thing from the patti
ent's point of view it seems that
nurses are taught in the best nurs-
ing schools never to accept gift at
all, be 1t money or a homemade
sweater. So a conscientious nurse
will probably have to hand you back
your gift. Which makes me feel that
probably it's best just to skip the
whole thing and relax. You'll get
well sooner that way, anyhow

Dorothy Dix Says
The Husband Finances the Home.
So Give Him Equal PRIVILEGES

be himself, where he can do as he
pleases and gather about him the
people, the books, tho things that
he enjoys.
1T Is a blighting disappointment
to him when he finds out that his
wife will let him have no part in
the homemaking: that she won't
even let him pick out his own little
spot of earth. or even so much as
choose the kind of chair he likes
to sit in. If she has gone modern
lstic he had just as we'll adapt his
bones to angles, no matter how they
yearn for curves.
"One of the constant grievances
OF wives is that their husbands are
undomestic, that they take no inter-
est in the home and that they leave
every decision to them. The reason
is that they have never been per-
mltted to have any part in the
building up of the home. 1t has
never been theirs except technical
ly. 1t has always really belonged to
the wives and children. Their
function in 1t has simply been that
Of the bill-payer.
Il think perhaps wives do not
realize what a raw deal they give
their husbands about the home, or
else they would give them a better
run for their money"

1t looks as though they will-they
will be making no mistake.
Studying the first of them the
other day, we could not help but
be impressed with the apparent
simplicity and yet complete charm
of these fabrics. Three-piece suits
with gaily-colored topcoat and
jacket and plain n-colored skirt are
smart and seem to achieve the cor
rect degree of fashionable non-
chalance so to be desired. Worn, as
the shops advise, with a plain hat
banded in a color to bring out the
high lights Of the tweed, they should
be something" to make us all take
notice.
The beauty of the idea is that
they are perfect costumes for cruise
wear now, and, unless all predictions
are wrong, they will be the out
standing style for spring. The three
piece styles we saw have swagger
coats, full length, with the squared
shoulders still proving popular. IN
cidentally, those full, loose coats
are destined to be a favorite next
season. The short jackets are COL
larless, in the cardigan style, with
tiny pockets lending a sporty touch.
Plain -colored skirts give a basic
touch to the outfit and break the
effect of the bright colors of the
coats.
Colors Are
Prominent.
And speaking of colors. we've al
ready warned you that you are
destined for season of bright hues.
These new tweeds emphasize that
theory. In gay shades, the fabrics
have all the dash and smartness
associated with spring styles, as
well as the classic simplicity that Is
synonymous with imported British
tweeds.
So there you are-the British in
fuence. Aren't you glad-old deah?
And here's flash: Remember our
hint about the newest mode in
hosiery-the set of three instead Of
the regular pair? Well, they are
here-and so inexpensive you'll be
amazed. From now on we're putting
all our faith in our private snooper.
We feel so smart -.

A man believes that what's the
matter with marriage is the bossi-
ness Of wives; that If wives would
make marriage more Of q partner
ship and less of dictatorship in
which they run the whole show, it
would do q lot toward popularizing
the holy estate and stopping divorce.
"As things are now" this man

He hasn't even hook that he can
call his own, or hair brush that Is
his exclusive property. Who has to

Dad.
rs 1t the wifes family or the

camped In the guest chamber? You
know the answer. Is 1t the wife's
friends or the husbands friends who
are invited to dinner and who drop
in for bridge of an evening? You
need but one guess at that. Does
the husband have to eat the kind
Of food he likes, or the sort his wife
was brought up on? Even a baby
knows that if Mamma likes spinach

no matter how much he loathes it.

that their husbands have no right

I have never been able to under

they fight so f1ercely for their rights
that their husbands give in for
peace's sake and wipe their feet on
the doormat before they dare enter
their own doors.
Most Of the married men know
are so cowed that they are afraid
to invite an old friend to dinner or
ask any member of their families to
pay them visit. They wouldn t
dream of doing anything so bold as
pre-empting back room for their
adored collections. They just meek
ly permit their wives to throw what
they call Johns junk into the ash
can.
Nov, little as women seem to
realize it, the thing that oftenest
leads man into marriage is a de-
sire for home. He has dreamed

Approaching Visit
Has Influence.
All Of which leads up to the news
that springtime is destined to bring
us deluge of English modes. The
reason? The approaching visit of
the King and Queen of England Is
already the basis for landslide of
tweeds-those comfortable, casual
clothes that adorn English land
scapes and English ladies.
Our British friends are, Of course,
noted for their supreme disregard
of anything uncomfortable. Taken
as general race, they have the en-
viable intelligence to ignore highly
styled garments that look we'll and
feel terrible. They turn their backs
on pastels and fancy dresses for
general wear and dislike the ex-
treme modes which American Wom-
en- find so intriguing. Naturally
there are exceptions to this rule,
but as a whole, they are noted for
their excellent selections of COM
Portable, practical and appropriate
clothes.
American women, at the other ex-
treme, delight in being as frivolous
as possible-rejoicing In unusual
styles, adopting a new motif as fast
as the overworked brain Of the de-
signer can produce it. So there you
are-two direct opposites and both
absolutely correct in their partic-
ular style Of grooming.
Classic Tweeds
Are Smart.
However. with the advent OF
spring and the visit of their majes-
ties. we are going to be hearing
great deal about the classic tweeds
that the English find so satisfying.
And they really are lovely. You
just can't find anything smarter,
more comfortable or correct than
these fine garments. and surely If
American women adopt them-and

mostly include heated rooms with

charging around $500 per week for
