ManyWonen
Are Victims
Of a Dream
Girls Fairy Prince
Rarely, if Ever,
Materializes
BY DOROTHY DIX.

A great many women are ole
maids because they have wasted
their marrying time waiting for a
man who never existed. They are
victims of a dream that never came
true. They are pathetic sacrifices
to a deception they have practicee
upon themselves.
In their adolscent days. wher
they still believed in fairy tales, they
began building up an ideal of 9
Prince Charming who would come
riding down their street on hi
milk-white steed and bear them of
to realms of romantic bliss. He
would be tall and slender and won.
drously beautiful, with flashing eyes
and waving locks He would be
bold and daring and dashing: colo
and stern to all the world, but soft
and tender only to them. He would
speak in beautiful and poetic phrase
and be incredibly rich. And at the
mere sight of him, at the sound OF
his footsteps, thye would thrill from
their permanent waves to their toes
Well, somehow the dream lover
never materialized. Nobody who
even remotely resembled him ever
passed their way. There was only
Tom, who was short and stout, Bob
whose Office coat no one could pos
sibly mistake for a suit of shining
armor. Sam. whose conversation
centered around the sport page and
the stock market, and whose Adam S
apple rose in his throat and choked
him when he tried to tell girl that
he lowed her. And so they pass
ed up these good, honest, common
place chaps for the ideal who never
came.
Silly enough, isn't it, for woman
to cut herself out of a good hus-
band who would be a good provider
because he is 3 or 4 inches shorter
than her ideal? And siller still for
her to be afraid to marry man be-
cause she doesn't thrill to his touch,
when probably nature gave her
more logic than imagination and she
is not of the thrilling sort. Yet
there are plenty of women who are
spinsters because they couldn't find
their dreams a-walking and because
they couldn't get all wrought up
and excited over meeting the man
at dinner with whom they had work.
ed all day at the Office.
AS for whether respect and con-
geniality and liking are enough to
marry on, that is for every woman
to decide for herself. Personally,
I think they are a mighty sound
foundation for marriage, because
they are what every happy marriage
comes to in the end.
Husbands and wives cease being
romantic and glamourous to each
other, but if they admire and re-
spect each other there is bond
between them that grows stronger
as the years go by and that draws
them closer and closer together.
Great expectations are as foolish
in marriage as they are anywhere
else In life. If women would quit
looking for Prince Charmings for
husbands there would be a lot more
marriages and fewer disappoint-
ments in marriage.

Simnels are said to have orig
mated as Simon-and-N Nelly cakes.
They were the product of a Shrop-
shire couple, Simon and Nelly, who
were looking forward, during a Len
ten period very long ago. to visits
from their grown children, now away
from home.
Having some unleavened dough on
hand, Nelly decided to make some
sort of pastry for the forthcoming
family reunion and Simon suggested
that she use bit Of leftover Christ
mas pudding. The idea appealed to
Nelly's sense of thrift, but after
she had put the materials together
a dispute arose between her and
Simon as to whether the novelty
should be boiled or baked.
Legend claims that Simon and
Nelly had serious "spat" before
they reached a solution. Since they
were experimenting, anyway, they
decided to boil the confection first,
then bake it. The result turned out
to be delicious and Simon -and Nelly
cake became deservedly popular.
The name was too long, however, so
it was contracted to Sim-Nel and
finally the hyphen was discarded.
Simnel cakes are made of fine
flour, the interior filled with ma
terials of very rich plum cake, plenty
of candied peel and other good
things. Made very stiff, they are
tied in cloth and boiled for sew
eral hours, after which they are
brushed over with egg and baked.
They came to be regarded as SYM
bols of unity, which accounts for
their part in church worship today.
Among the gifts that can be OBJ
tanned from the headquarters of the
Mothering Sunday movement in
Nottingham are simnels made from
an ancient recipe, also little gift
bags in which these dainties may be
taken home from church.
who goes a-mothering finds vio-
lets IN the lane" This old English
saying has been woven into the
ideals of the Mothering Sunday
movement, with the adoption of the
modest violet as floral emblem.
Violets are worn at mid-Lent in
honor of mother, and AZ series of
simple and attractive Mothering
Sunday gifts, all decorated with
violets, may be found in the Not
tingham headquarters.

A Homemade
Masque Is
Simple
Tightens the Pores
And Stimulates
Circulation
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

st. Patrick's Day is usually con-
sidered the harbinger of a new
season-spring in the North and
summer in the South! And to most
Women's chagrin, they are not pre-
pared to meet this new season be-
cause their lethargy of the last few
months shows in tired skin texture.
To remedy tired skin quickly
there is nothing more effective than
a we'll chosen facial masque. Nu-
merous masques are on your cos
metic counters, but it is up to you
to choose one which is definitely
suited to your own skin texture
sensitive skin, dry or oily skin.
Meticulous beauties boast using
specific masque occasionally along
with their regular skin care routine.
But, of course, there are many
women who cannot afford the price
of good brand masque, and there
are those who have not found one
suitable. I suggest to these women
that they send for the formula of a
gelatin masque which may be made
inexpensively at home with direc-
tions for it's use.
The gelatin masque of which I
write is made from ingredients every
housewife has on hand and its ease
OF preparation and application are
simply a joy.
Unlike many masques, this one is
transparent when applied. 1t dries
in thin film and can hardly be
detected SO you may 60 about your
household duties looking presenta-
BILE. And If callers do surprise you,
you may even apply powdered rouge
and lipstick over it! That is enough
to endear it to me!
The formula makes enough for
several applications and, besides
doing the job OF regular masque
every 10 days or 2 weeks, it may
be used as quick freshener" if
you want to look your best in a
hurry! Leaving it on for IS or 20
minutes, while you dress and finish
other grooming, will tone up a slug
gish circulation, cleanse the skin
and tighten the pores.
Just request the gelatin masque"
when you write and be sure to in
close a self addressed envelope bear
ing 3-cent stamp. If you do not
inclose the stamped envelope we
cannot answer your request!

bine pilgrimage at Mid-Lent te
ones mother church with a visit tc
parents. This church-and-f family
custom is thought to have developed
from the great spring festival held
in honor of the mother of the gods
and those who carried it out were
said to 60 a-mothering" 1t was
part of the days rejoicing to bring
some small token of affection home
to mother-a few simple flowers
perhaps, or something dainty to eat
in ages when the common people
had few pleasures.
AS was the case with many beau
tiful old traditions, the custom of
mothering at Mid-Lent fell into dis
use and by the 180Os it had been
forgotten In many places and had
lost much of its beauty in others.
In 1913, however. a high-souled
English lady, Miss Constance Pens
wick Smith. established a movement
to restore Mid-Lent Sunday to its
rightful place in the affections of
the people.
Last year on the occasion of its
silver jubilee Queen Mary gave the
Mothering Sunday movement her
blessing by generously accepting
copies of literature and greeting
cards from the founder. These pub
lications include set of tableaux
suitable for church performance,
showing the inner meaning of the
lovely customs of mid-Lent. Holi-
days being originally holy days,
they were bound up in religious sig
nificance. Thus, Mothering Sunday
is so called from its being celebrated
with great joy and festivity in the
middle of Lent and from the custom
of children going home to their
mothers for a holiday.
THE idea of mothering at mid
Lent is very ancient" says Miss
Penswick Smith. 1T has persisted
in some degree all down the ages"
The day was always one of feasting
and every family made an effort to
have simnel cakes on hand. These
delicacies are as closely associated
with Mothering Sunday as hot cross
buns are with Easter, and one of
the features of the revived Mother
ing Sunday movement in England is
the distribution of simnel cakes
from the chancel steps to worship
ers returning from the altar. This
practice is followed in many par
iSheS.

MRS. F. G. McH.
Answer
AS the design is large in your
material think it would be better
to combine it with one of the
shades in the design in a plain ma
terial. For instance, in the living
room use the figured material on
the sofa and on one chair, with the
other two done in a contrasting
shade. On the porch do the couch
In the plain color, with cushions

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have just inherited a house full
of Victorian furniture. Some of it
I know is very good, but in the
living room and dining room some
misguided person has painted the
framework pale green. I can afford
to have the interior Of the house
papered and painted (and would
like your suggestions on colors and
type of design. but I cannot afford
to have the paint removed from all
this elaborately carved furniture
and have it refinished. That will
have to wait a year or two. Can
you suggest anything I can do in
the meantime to make it possible
to live with the stuff?
MRS. D. c. A.
Answer
The wallpaper dealers will love
to show you their new collection
Of Victorian papers. 1t is per-
fectly possible to do some de-
lightful interiors in spite of the
green paint. First, spend an hour
at the library, where they will show
you all the pictures they have of
Victorian ideas. Then pick out your
papers. I would suggest that you
use one Of the light background,
floral ones for the dining room
Keep all your accessories light and
gay in this room and paint the fur
niture a deep color, which will tone
in with your paper. Deep colors
were very good in the Victorian age,
deep leaf green, mulberry, rich pur-
ple-blue. garnet red, as we'll as Won
derful rich browns. Your choice will
depend on your paper selection.
In the living room use one of the
deep-colored papers and paint the
furniture frames white or honey COL
or to tighten it up. Use light up
holstery fabrics. If the paper is
ornately designed, use small figures
or stripes for interest in your fab
RIGS. Use very sheer net glass cur
tains and draperies in the deep
shades. You have job ahead that
will take thought and planning, but
think will be delightful when it is
finished.
