Rare Recipes
From South
America
Very Helpful New
Volume Useful
To All Cooks
By BETSY CASWELL.

The good neighbor policy" gets
another boost with the publication
of the latest cookbook by those in
veterate epicures, Cora, Rose and
Bob Brown. The South American
Cook Book" just off the presses OF
Doubleday, Doran & Co. of New York.
makes delightful reading, as well as
being IAN appetizing anthology of
the best recipes from the Rio Grande
to TERRA del Fuego." This claim,
made by the publishers on the books
colorful jacket, is not an eXaggera-
ton; if you are interested in know
ing the real lowdown on the cuisine
of our Southern neighbors, you could
have no better guide.
The Browns have written II cook
books, all of an unusually high
standard, but in this most recent
one they seem to have surpassed
even those attempts. They have
spent several years in South Ameri-
can countries, learning the native
cooking, and their translation of
these sometimes difficult recipes
into practical United States English
is a mastery piece of work. They
make helpful suggestions for various
substitutes for ingredients that can
not be procured here. and the
various recipes are interspersed with
interesting sidelights on the customs
and manners of the countries from
whence they came.
Here are all your wonderful bar
becues, your tomales, humitas, etc.
Here you may find a weird and COL
orful array of fish, flesh and fowl
that you would never have dreamed
of as being edible. And the section
devoted to rice and beans gives you
some brand-new and mighty inter-
esting ideas for preparing them in
various ways.
Whether you aspire to a knowl-
edge of international cookery, or
simply enjoy the type of food usually
associated with the Southern conti-
nent, then this book deserves a
place of honor on your kitchen book
shelf.

have an evening off every week If
he wants it and to be able to go
of on fishing or hunting party with
his cronies every now and then.
But married mans personal lib
erty stops there or thereabout and
it certainly doesn't include the priv
ilege of philandering and spending
his time and his money on other
women, while his wife sits at home
by her lonesome wondering where
her wandering boy is tonight. There
is no compulsion about marriage. A
man isn't shanghaied into it when
he is drunk or doped He goes into
it of his own free will and accord,
well knowing the obligations and
restrictions it lays upon him. He
knows that he Is swearing at the
altar to give up all other women
for one He knows that he is for
feiting his personal liberty and un-
less he is willing to live up to the
contract he has made he has no
right to marry.
When a philanderer tells his wife
the he loves her he lies, because
if he still loved her he would not
need the society of other women to
entertain him, nor would he spend
his time with them instead of her.
If he loved his wife he would not
hurt her and humiliate her as he
does by flirting around with other
women.
But, unfortunately, there is moth
ing a wife can do toward reforming
a philandering husband. Neither
tears or arguments or persuasions
will stop him. He will go on chasing
every skirt until he gets too old
and rheumatic to keep up with the
debutantes, and then he will come
back and expect to be made the
family pet. DOROTHY DIX.

If you're seeking a slenderizing
and really distinguished afternoon
style, you'll certainly like this grace
full dress. With above-the-table de-
tails that make 1t unusually smart
for bridge afternoons and lunch
cons, it fits beautifully into a full
and busy social program. Also, it
is f1gure-flattering, with all the en-
phasis placed on the bodice, which
has inside shoulder tucks to give
a high-busted line.
The touch of lace, newly impor-
tant in the fashion picture, is both
dressy and flattering. The front
panel of the skirt, cut high in the
front, is decidedly slenderizing, with
its up-and-down effect; the waist
line is made even simmer and
smoother by the side belts, fastened
in the back. Velvet, wool, broadcloth
and fiat crepe, In rich dark brown
or green. are extremely smart for
this design.

Dorothy Dix Says
Husband Violates Marriage Laws
If He Takes Other Women Out

Dear Miss DIX: How do you
interpret personal liberty for a mar
ried man? Does it mean freedom
to go anywhere he desires with
whomsoever he desires? My hus-
band claims that because he is
married is no reason why he should
not have a sweetheart to make life
interesting for him. He says he is
so years ahead of the times and
that the day will come when no one
will be criticized for enjoying little
innocent fun. At present his enam-
orata is married woman. He takes
her out to places of amusement and
rarely ask me to 60 anywhere un-
less he can have this particular
woman with him, too. For the last
two summers he has insisted on
spending our vacation with the
"other woman" and her husband,
which does not make it pleasant for
me or the woman's husband. My
husband insists that he is broad
minded and that I may have the
privilege of amusing myself as he
does, but on the few occasions when
I have gone out with a man there
have been questionings and argu-
ments. My husband says he cannot
see why should object to his affairs
because he would not leave me for
any other woman and he thinks that
should be as sweet and loving as
ever to him and should be willing
to share with with other women.
Should I? x. Y. z.
Answer-My idea of the personal
liberty to which a married man Is
entitled is the right to pick out his
own neckties, have sole possession Of
his hairbrush, be permitted to eat
what he likes without being told
how bad 1t is for his digestion; to

fact that you don't smoke. Merely
to say, mo, thank you," is enough.
After you have done this a few
times, the boy will realize that you
don't smoke, and the matter will be
settled.
The question of smoking is no
longer one of morals, or even of
social custom. 1t is primarily a
question of health. Almost every
smoker would advise a young person
not to start smoking, even if the
smoker himself had no prejudice
against the practice, and would not
think of stopping himself.
It's just one of those things which
you'll never miss if you don't start
it. So why acquire habit that is
expensive, that can be a good deal
of a nuisance, and that may have
bad effects on your health? The
only possible argument that can be
advanced for a girls smoking with a
boy is that it creates friendly, COM
panionable atmosphere. But you
can create that easily enough with
out dragging on cigarette.
So don't be misled into smoking
in an effort to please boys. Far
more of them will be neutral. or ac-
tually displeased by the habit, than
will be attracted by it.
Dear Miss Caldwell and Mr.. Har-
rison:
II am going to a school play with
another couple who live here, but
my date is from out of town. Due
to these circumstances, the other
couple and I will pick up my date
at his home.
Here is my problem Should I 60
up to the door alone. should my girl
friends escort go up with me or
should all three of us go to the
door?
IT have never before met this
boys mother. What should l say
to her when she opens the door?
How can I introduce us all?

Sorry, Mary, but you tried three
guesses and they were all wrong.
The proper procedure in this
situation is for your girl friends
escort to go up to the door alone

1arly good are the envelope-shaped
bags with compartments for all
makeup necessities and other items
that we're apt to cart around. It's
grand having everything at your
finger tips instead of having to hunt
around in the bottom of a purse.
Along this same idea, but done in
q different manner, are the bags
which pull open wide at the top
and stay open until you snap them
shut. They permit you to look into
the bag and not use the hit-and-
miss system.
Novelty Bags
Are Unusual.
Several of the shops are showing
novelty purses in the form of black
or white puppies on a leash. A
ripper across the pups back opens
to hold the equipment you usually
carry around, and the leash forms
the handle. At first glance, it looks
as though you are carrying a toy
animal. We suggest this for the
young set, especially when they're
at the age to really 60 in for novel,
ties. Muff bags are excellent for
any age, and those of broadcloth
particularly warm and smart. Don't
forget when buying purses that the
recipient must be considered. A
large woman looks incongruous with
a tiny bag, just as the petite miss
Is dwarfed by a purse that's first
cousin to an overnight case. ..
Evening purses are always excel
lent gifts, and we can never have
too many. If this is one of the
things on your list, take a look at
the beautiful brocade bags which
one shop is offering at a price so
low you won't believe it's possible.
They're fitted, too. IL. Petit point
bags are always good, and gold klc
or mesh are another two of the
favorite types. Personally, we're all
for an evening bag that can hold all
the essentials, not one of those in
finitesimal jobs that won't even &C
commodate an ordinary compact
Evening muffs, ostrich trimmed, are
being shown, and it's fine idea to
match them up with long gloves
done with the same type of adorn-
ment. -.
New Mittens
Delightful.
Speaking of gloves, don't miss see
ing the new evening mittens being
shown in one shop. They're re-
versible, kid on one side, velvet on
the other, and you can turn them
inside out. In combinations of red
or black with white, you can wear
white mitts or black ones merely
by Tipping them over. Some of the
young girls are reversing only one,
thus having one black paw and one
white one-with all the charm of
penguin! And that, take it from
us, is some" charm. =. Ermine
tails (real ones) add the final,.
luxurious touch. -.
Extra added attraction and double
feature when you buy these mittenS
is a hair ornament in the same re\
or black velvet. In the form of d
tiny flower, these also have ermine
tails to match the mittens. I'm
agine younger sisters eyes when
she sees that party set, or, for that
matter, picture the delight of any
feminine party-goer.
And last, but far from least, why
not take advantage of the demand
for turbans? Every woman wants
one, and it's grand gift. :. If
you don't trust your ability to select
becoming styles or you're in doubt
about the head sizes, some of the
shops have gift certificates that
guarantee the selection when she
chooses to make it.
