Dorothy Dix Says 80
Marriage Is Not a Fairy Tale;
Just What People Make 1t

youngsters expect it to be, still has
its points that make it preferable
to celibacy, you will find it in the
fact that the great majority of
widows and widowers marry again
as soon as convention permits.
Whatever else marriage does for
people, it units them for living
alone.
OF course there are more risks
in marriage for woman than there
are for a man, because man is
never so dependent on his wife for
happiness as a woman Is upon her
husband.
But the old adage, nothing ven-
ture nothing gain, is as true in mar
riage as it is elsewhere. The old
maid may have her own latch key
and be free to come and go as she
pleases, but there is not much kick
in coming home when there is no
husband waiting to reproach her
with her gadding.
And there is so little encourage
ment in getting up a good dinner
if there is no man to eat it that
nearly all husbandless women fall
back on a tea and toast and boiled
egg diet.
Furthermore, even if q woman
doesn't draw the capital prize in
the matrimonial lottery, she gets
a consolation one in her children.
Their love can fill her empty heart
She can relive her life in theirs and
find in their development. their
interests, their ambitions, their pur-
suits something warm and vital
that keeps her on her tiptoes as
long as she lives.
Marriage may bring q woman
matched pearls and nmousines, OF
hard work and poverty, but one
thing it brings to all women, and
that is discipline. No woman knows
how many faults she has until she
gets q husband to tell her about
them.
No woman can live with a man
for 10 or 20 years, if she does 1t
in peace. without acquiring tact
that would fit her to be a diplo-
mat.
And no woman ever gets in q rut
who brings up family of chill
dren who haul her out of it with
their fads that change from day
to day.
So, taking the bad with the good
girl is justified in taking a chance
on happiness in marriage. Once,
anyway. Pick out your man care
fully, and then, as David Crockett
said, be sure you are right and 60
ahead.

chased number OF years ago and
though we have never seen a dup

that was very charming. Each
scarab was made of a precious
stone and set in gold with links
of the same metal. These brace

as just costume" jewelry due to
their many different colors.

you a lighted cigarette when you
press an ejector door, thus doing
away with the fuss. 1t can be
easily attached to the steering coll

of cigarettes, needs no flint or fluid
and is ''life saving" due to the fact
that the driver need not take his

to all or any of these, we'd suggest
that you locate a movie-making
friend, and entice him or her to
come to your house will all equip
ment, and show some of his own
films that would interest the chill
dren, and others that you could rent
yourself from a film company at
very little cost. Usually a willing
victim to this little scheme is not
too hard to find and enjoys the op-
portunity to offer his beloved hobby
to an appreciative audience.
Or perhaps you have a friend or
a relative who tells stories excep-
tlonally well-press him or her into
service to help out. Or maybe there's
trick-loving dog or some unusual
pet that you know of whose owner
could be induced to show it of for
your small guests benefit. And, if
all else fails, check to see If there
isn't some special program on the
radio just at the hour that suits
your plans-or arrange your plans
to suit the program if necessary.
Get-togethers are good for chill
dren-they start them on the path
way to social ease and adaptability
that will stand them in good stead
later in life. Parties need not be
elaborate or expensive to please
but parties of some kind should be
given every boy or girl when it is
humanity possible to do so.

A girl writes me that she Is very
much in love with fine young man
who has asked her to marry him,
but she hesitates to do so because
she sees the wrecks of so many mar
riages about her that she Is afraid
to embark on the great adventure.
"Are there any happy marriages."
she asks. Are there any faithful
husbands? Are there any devoted
wives who think that making a COM
Portable home for their husbands
and children is the finest career in
the world? Do all husbands crouch
and all wives complain? And is the
usual home atmosphere filled with
pickering and quarrels? If my
father and mother have any affec-
ton for each other, or get any
pleasure out of being together, they
give no sign OF it. And when I
look at my married friends and my
brothers and sisters I cannot see
that they get anything out of mar
riage that makes it worth while.
So I AM afraid to try it"
1t is not surprising that those who
stand on the outside observe and
the awful warnings that so many
henpecked husbands and bedraggled
doormat wives present should con-
clude that marriage is about the
poorest investment in which man
and woman can put their life and
liberty. Yet for all the failures that
strew the path on the far side OF
the altar, marriage, taking it by
and large, IS a success and it Is
worth all that it costs. There are no
safe bets in life. There is no as
surance. that any enterprise into
which we go will prosper. Men and
women fail as preachers, as lawyers,
as doctors, as bankers, as carpen-
ters just as often as they fail as
husbands and wives. Statistics bear
this out, for only one marriage in
six ends in divorce, and that Is a
pretty good average for any busi-
ness.
Furthermore, you can't judge OF
UllC SuCCCSS VI u AIldl1 Ad6C Wy
front it puts up. When you see a
husband and wife who are always
spatting and who do not treat each
other with even common politeness
you naturally infer that they are
miserable together, that they hate
each other and that they are either
on the verge of committing murder
or getting a divorce.
But ninety-nine times out Of q
hundred your guess would be wrong
They are devoted to each other and
can't bear to be parted for even a
week. The man works his fingers
to the bone to give luxuries to the
wife he criticizes, and the woman
slaves over the cookstove to make
the pie that her husband will eat
to her complaints.
And If you want further proof
that marriage, even. If it doesn't
come up to the fairy tale that all

Be Truthful
About the
Doctor
Teach Children to
Have Confidence
In His Ability
By ANGELO PATRI.

Children do not escape the disci-
pline of pain that life administers
to all living creatures. The pain
seems to be the price Of sensitive
nerves and the high intelligence that
is their consequence. Toothache,
earache, collie bring intense pain and
little children have to bear it, and
do. No child but knows the mean
ing Of pain.
When we have to take children to
the dentist to have cavities filled or
teeth extracted, the first question
they ask is, will it hurt?" The right
answer is, Some. But you can stand
it. 1t will soon be over. Then We can
60 to the movie or to the store for
ice cream" The wrong answer Is
mo"
People are tempted to say mo"
because they fear the child will be
rebellious, create a scene and give
the dentist trouble. If he has been
accustomed to being told the truth
he is not likely to make scene.
If he has been deceived he is very
likely to suspect trouble and prepare
for it. Fear makes any child tense,
but fear coupled by doubt makes him
fearful and rebellious. Tell him the
truth and try to be cheerful about
it. Give him something pleasant to
look forward to after the event. That
helps a great deal.
What helps the dentist and the
physician most of all in dealing with
child patients is the confidence the
child has in their good intentions.
If he has been trained to believe
that these people want to help him
and want to save him pain, keep
him happy and we'll and fit for the
good life, he will do his best.
Operations are dreaded by any
patient, old or young. For the
younger children they are mysterious
experiences that may hold black
troubles for them. Some prepara-
ton must be in order and yet 1t
seems that the less said about the
business the better. Don't give the
child weeks to think about such
things. He need not know until the
day arrives. Then he Is told by some
trusted friend, his mother If she can
manage it, that he is to go to the
hospital for treatment so he can get
we'll.
His questions are to be answered
briefly and with all truth. No lengthy
explanations. He will be put to sleep
and will know nothing about it.
When he wakes up again he will be
safe in bed with a kind nurse to
look after him. Then he gets well
as fast as he can and gets back home
to play again. Keep him looking
forward to the good time to come
and touch as lightly as possible on
the troubles.
But don't tell him what is not so.
Don't say he will not be sick If he
asks about it. Don't say he won't
be hurt If he worries about that. Tell
him all operations hurt a bit, but 1t
passes, and people are willing to be
hurt some to get we'll whole lot.
And direct his attention to the Joy
of being well.
Teach him good manners in rela-
ton to those who try to help him
He is to thank those who serve him
the physician and the nurse espe-
cially, and he is never to give any
body any trouble he can help. He
is to do his best to be good patient,
cheerful, grateful, on his way to
health.
Yes, it hurts, but 1t soon passes.

Isn't this crisp little frock a per-
feet expression of gay youthful
charm? Dart fitted in to tiny
waist, with basque dip in the front
to accent it's smallness, this design
has an unusually pretty version OF
the so-youthful square neckline ana
a skirt that ripples to graceful full
ness from slim hips. The sleeves
may be cut short and puffed out
roundly, or slashed and open, like
wings, as you see them in the small
sketch-which also shows you the
saucy sash bow in the back, perky
as a pinafore!

Raiisiins

Raisins are one of those superla-
tive ingredients. They are good in
almost any type of recipe you think
of. They team well with so many
mild Favored foods-cereals, bread
puddings, sandwich fillings-that
we more or less rely on them to
give oomph in lots Of ways. Many
a simple salad, plain cake or cooky
recipe takes on added flavor appeal
with a generous additions of raisins.
So intent have we been on using
them as an ingredient that we have
scarcely realized their possibilities
as sauce. They can be served stewed
as you would any Of the other dried
fruits. Merely rinse them, allow one
cup of water for each cup OF raisins
and boil 10 minutes. Add one-hal1
tablespoon sugar for each cup OF
fruit.

Cali Slt up lO see tll6 NEW I ear IN,
or pay endless calls on New Year
Day, they would like a party in
keeping with the spirit of the times.
We would suggest a supper party
on the afternoon of New Year Eve,
for the boys and girls who know
each other in the lower grades in
the same school-with perhaps a
few of the neighborhood pals" in
addition. Use gay decorations-of
paper, if you wish; have plenty of
bells about that really ring and
supply the children with paper hats
and good noisy horns for favors.
Keep the supper simple-remem-
ber, they have all been having an
overfed week since Christmas and
their digestions have been severely
tried by the large amounts of candy,
nuts, ice cream, plum pudding and
so on which have been permitted
because it was Christmas time. You
can make the party attractive and
appetizing, without having it rich
or elaborate in any way. Here are
two simple menus:
CHILDREN'S SUPPER NO. 1.
Clear chicken soup Uith rice
Bread and butter fingers Celery curls
Scrambled eggs aDith asparagus tips
Buttered peas and carrots
Orange Ice
Fairy Gingerbread Milk or Cocoa
CHILDRENS SUPPER NO. 2.
Buttered toast rounds Carrot sticks
individual Shepherds Pies
Nests of string beans filled With
tiny beets
Neu Year Rennet Custard
Ladu Finoers Mix
If you wish recipes for any of the
above suggestions, we shall be glad
to give them to you if you will call
us at National 5000. We are in
cluding the one for the rennet
custard at the end of the column
today.
The matter of entertainment for
the very young Is always a bit OF
a problem. Children of that age
are apt to grow restless and become
over-excited, so that sometimes the
best planned and managed games
tend to turn into a free-for-all with
disastrous results. A few games
may be played at the beginning of
the party, and then it is wise to
have a quiet period just before
supper is served. If you can afford
1t, a paid entertainer, such as a
magician, or story teller, is Won
derful solution to the problem.
Marionette shows, too, are greatly
appreciated by the youngsters, and
you can hire movie protector,
films and an operator to show the
latest amusing juvenile reels.

know anything about how it was
decorated and how I can preserve it?
MRS. D. e. w.
Answer-It sounds as If it might
be decorated with decoupage-the
fine art of cutting out" which -four
ished early in the Victorian era. Tiny
scissors were used to cut out most
delicate patterns which were grouped
on small tables, mirrors, boxes, trays
and other small articles. These
were stuck on and then shellacked.
You might preserve yours by cover
ing the surface with a colorless lac
quer. Give it two coats and it will
be saved for many years.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have invested in French pro-
vincial furniture for my living and
dining room because I liked the
scale and the gentle rolling design
of it. To make 1t more at home in
my United States house I would like
to have suggestions of types of
materials and accessories to use
with it.
MRS. K. L.
Answer-You will find small floral
patterns of glazed chintz very nice.
Stripes and plaids in soft color
schemes, not necessarily the Scotch
plaids seem to be made for this scene
Tole, the interesting painted tin
articles in the way of lamps, vases
and small accessories, which goes
well with this Provincial furniture
was originally made by a good vii
lage cabinet-maker after the town
fashion. 1t is the homely, COM
Portable type Of furniture that de-
mands the quaint and colorful
handmade accessories to give il
accent. Pottery, for your dining
room, rather than china, handmade
glass, pewter, copper, old silver
hand-woven textiles and hooked
and braided rugs are all in keeping
1t is just half way between farm
house and townhouse decoration;
possibly best expressed as the way
people of good taste and good
manners might live in the country
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have been shopping for stair
and hall carpeting, and several
times have heard the term cluster
carpeting. What does this mean
and is it something that should be
avoided?
T. r. E.
Answer-This is woolen or worsted
carpet that has been given a chemi-
cal bath, and brushed so that the pile
has a sheen similar to the silky
luster of Oriental rugs. It need not
be avoided as long as you know that
Evening star., 1940-12-27

you are not purchasing Oriental
carpeting, and are paying only for
the value of the material used in
the rug.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Would a wall-to-wall carpet be
more fashionable than a m-size
rug? If use a rug, how far should
it extend toward the walls?
Answer-A wall-to-wall carpet Is
always good, especially if you own
your own house and are not likely
to move, or If you have bad floors
that need covering. Rugs should
be bought in relation to the size of
the room, and very often are cheaper
if bought in standard sizes, rather
than being made to order.
1t may vary from to II inches
from the wall, with many exceptions
to this rule. If you do not care to
cut out for the hearth you may set
it farther back on that side of the
room, as long as you fill in the
space with wall furniture or some
arrangement to prevent the space
on either side from seeming empty.
Your rug has great deal to do
with the appearance of the room, so
as long as you guide your plans by
the way it looks you will be on the
safe side.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have received several plants
for holiday gifts, many of which
do not recognize. Usually my
Christmas plants lose their leaves
and the buds do not develop. Is
there anything I can do to remedy
this?
MRS. HIT.
Answer-Most houses are too hot
and dry for the florists plants which
have been brought up at a tenn
perature OF about IS, in moist air.
Suggest you make a visit to one
of the florist shops in town and ask
for information on the plants that
you have. Find out their growing
temperature and how to water them
and I think you will be amazed at
the response of each one.
