Manners
OF the
m e n t

There's a happy medium which q
girl should strike In ordering her
meal when she is out with her
Current Phase. OF course, it's not
exactly wise, for her to order an
entire side Of COW, and go through
it as though she were Henry the
Eighth. But neither is it wise for
her to order nothing more than a
piece of lettuce.
If she is hearty eater, who
doesn't need to worry about her
waistline. naturally she should go
right ahead and order a decent
meal. She can eat it calmly, with
out showing too much haste and
hunger, and the entire procedure
will be inconspicuous and quite in
keeping with a date.
But when she orders up a sprig
Of parsley, and nibbles daintily
while her escort SAWS through steak,
1t isn't 30 nice. It makes him feel
like man-eating ape or something.
And also it worries him, lest she
faint on his hands from starvation.
No no matter how charmingly
feminine you may think q small
appetite is, 1t doesn't pay to make
1t too small. JEAN.

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
No Man Has to Stand Having His
Wife Treat Him Like Dog

Dear Dorothy Dix: Three years
ago I was married to a girl
loved very much, but as soon as we
were married trouble started. First
of all, she takes all of my money
away from me and keeps it. If
want to buy anything. even cigar.
cites, I have to ask her for the
money and tell her what I want it
for and how much 1t will cost and
bring back the change to her. If we
go out for an evening I have to ask
her for the money to pay the bill.
Occasionally some Of the fellows
ask me to spend an evening with
them. When ask my wife If I can
go out she gets mad and starts
crying and accuses me of going out
with other women. which is one
thing never do. She threatens to
go along or have me followed, so. of
course, I have to stay at home. She
doesn't like my friends and refuses
to 60 out with them, but she makes
me visit her friends, even if they
are girl friends. My work throws
me with q lot of men and women
who come and 60 and If she sees
me talking to one of the women she
makes scene. Once In a while we
60 out with another married couple
and II she leaves me alone for few
minutes she accuses me Of kissing
my friends wife. We haven't any
children because she says they are
too much bother, and she acts like
ice toward me as well as bored when
we are spending an evening together
at home. In order to keep peace I
have to act like puppy dog. I tell
you, Miss Dix, I am fed up with all
Of this. Especially Of her jealousy,
which makes fool of me in front of
strangers as well as friends. It's
awful. KEN.
Answer.-I believe you. But why
do you stand it? A husband doesn't
have to stand for his wife treating
him like puppy dog and lick the
hand that smites him unless he likes
1t, or Is such a poor spirited creature
he hasn't the courage to rebel.
It is no wonder that the world
looks upon henpecked husbands with
contempt, for man shows that he
Is q weakling when he lets his wife
dominate him so completely that he
doesn't even call his pants his own
and has no more authority In the
house he supports than If he were
q mouse.
For they have a weapon with
which they can fight even q female
Hitler into submission. And it is the
checkbook. 1t is the law the world
over that the hand that holds the
Evening star., 1940-01-18

pocketbook rules, and that is why
any husband is so foolish to turn
over his money to his wife unless he
is absolutely certain that she is Of q
kind and benevolent disposition and
isn't going to use 1t as a club with
which to browbeat him.
So. Ken. the solution of all of your
problems lies in the simple act of
bracing yourself up into having the
nerve to keep your own pay envelope
and dole out nickels to your wife
for her chewing gum, instead of
letting her make you rattle a tin
cup before her for your cigarette
money. She will howl and cry and
call you every name in the world,
but if you will stick it out you will
have a wife who will eat out of your
hand.
So all you need, Ken, is a little
spunk. You couldn't expect q
woman to have any respect for a
man who doesn't even put up fight
for his rights. DOROTHY DIX.

the inverted pleat in the skirt.
When you're in the mood for q
Evening star., 1940-01-18

you can also do it by speaking to
her tactfully.
Avoid pointing out that her
method is ill-mannered. Merely say
that customs differ In various places,
and that you are anxious for your
younger daughter to learn the man
ners which are recognized as correct
by you and your friends. Then
point out to this girl that because
your daughter thinks 50 much Of
her, she is likely to initiate her, and
ask the girl to conform to your GUS
tom in this particular matter in
order to assist with your daughters
training.
Well admit that this Is q subter-
fuge, but we think it is entirely
justified. Instead of correcting the
girl, you will be asking her to do
you q favor. Since she has not
taken the hint offered by your own
correct manners, 1t seems that you
will be forced to adopt some meas
ure such as this If the girls feelings
are to be spared.
If she is at all intelligent, she will
undoubtedly yealize that she has
been corrected indirectly. But at
least her face has been saved-and
that's extremely important for a
girl of this age in an unfamiliar
environment.
OF course. you might possibly en-
list your daughters cooperation,
getting her to take bread with
fork so that you could point out her
error in front of the girl. But this
would be pretty obvious, and it
would imply a rebuke. Furthermore,
your young daughter might unin-
tentionally give the whole scheme
away.
Speaking about the problem d.
rectly, but kindly and tactfully, as
we have suggested, will probably be
the simplest and most satisfactory
procedure.

You need not limit the use of Ca

a slice Of pineapple over each piece
of bacon. Simmer raisins in water

from the cornstarch, salt and a
small amount of water. Pour the
sauce over the bacon and pineapple.

All this chat about breakfast
makes me think of other good Sun

little link sausages, buckwheat cakes
and kidney stew, chicken hash and
griddle cakes, Goldfish balls and
baked beans and brown bread
scrambled eggs and sausage cakes.
There are so many delicious combi-
nations that we really should plan
to break down" once q week, and
instead of, drinking our breakfast,
consume large and substantial

Aside from the Canadian bacon,
things seem pretty quiet on the

DEAR MISS CALDWELL AND
MR.. HARRISON:

"A young girl from small coun-
try town shares the family life in
my city home while she attends
business college. She is really
lovely, but her ideas of etiquette
are little odd, to say the least.
1T Is her invariable habit to take
q slice of bread-and even hot bis
cuits-from the serving tray with
her dinner fork. This is particu-
larly maddening, because it is done
with great ostentation, as though
to say, I hope you are noticing how
very correct ami
MY husband and I are at great
pains to pick up our bread lightly
with our fingers, fervently hoping
that she will be intelligent enough
to accept this method as being uni
versally correct. In spite Of her OBJ
vious home training. I should feel
deeply embarrassed if guests were
present, and I do not like such an
example set for my 7-year -old
daughter.
What can I do without setting
myself up as this girls mentor and
hurting her feelings? I shall be
grateful for a discussion Of this in
your column, to save me from doing
something drastic and unforgiv-
able. MRS. j. B."
The important thing, Mrs. B., is
to get over to this girl, without
hurting her feelings, the idea
that her manner Of taking bread Is
incorrect. If you could get her to
read simple book on table eti-
quette, this might be one way of
accomplishing 1t. But we believe

Manners Not
Attained by
Wishing
Learn to Practice
Them at Home
And Abroad
BY ANGELO PATRI,

Children need friends among the
grown up people, and the best way
to win them is to teach the chill
dren good manners from the start.
The chief rule, the first one to be
learned, is: Consider other people.
If that rule is learned and practiced
the rest will come easily.
Little children should not race
about the living room when people
are in 1t. (Racing should be con-
fined to outdoors. but children have
to be taught that fact.)
Little children should not hang
on grown peoples arms, or laps, or
backs. They should never touch
anybody familiarly until they have
been assured their notice is welcome.
Screaming and shouting in the
house, and especially making such
noises to attract the attention Of
guests in the next room, is not done
by well-mannered children.
It is being bad-mannered to
handle the belongings Of guests.
Children must not touch fur pieces,
handbags, wraps. It is especially
il-mannered to try on hats and
wrap furs about their necks and
then make a grand entrance, ex-
pecting applause
Staring at a visitor, asking ques-
tions, breaking into the conversa-
ton by turning on the radio, or
calling, "look at me-" are social sins
little children are likely to commit.
1t is bad-mannered for older chill
dren to enter room where there
is a guest and back out again with
out speaking to him.
It is bad-mannered, too, to be too
gay in greeting the guest. 20, hullo,
I didn't know you were in here"
is bad. Stand near by, smile, wait
for the older person to speak, and
then bow and say, How do you do?"
Look at your mother for q hint to
go or stay and do whatever you are
signalled to do, promptly and quietly.
That is the better way.
When an elderly friend of the
family does young person kind
ness it is the duty Of that young
person, and it should be his priv
ilege, to write q note of thanks for
the kindness. 1t is disheartening
to think up suitable birthday gift,
pack it and mail it, and get never q
word of thanks. Bad manners can
not go lower than that.
After visit good manners de-
mand a note of thanks to the
hostess. Young people are not to
dash of a line or two that has no
personal feeling in 1t. Better take
a little time and make a little effort
to write q note distinctly your own.
. Good manners do not come by
wishing for them. Children have
to learn and practice them in the
family circle. Then they have to
be carefully and persistently led
to practice them on the people
they meet. Good manners make
good friends, and children and
young people can never have too
many of them.

BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

II you knew the truth about 1t,
men get very distressed when their
mirrors tell them they are losing
youthful dash! Corporations" and
double chins disturb them Just as
such signs Of age disturb women.
They would like to do something
about correcting these figure faults
but their vanity keeps them from
discussing the problem with the
women In their lives! They may

to q gymnasium and seek the advice
Of a physical director who will tell
them to exercise more regularly and
to watch their diet.
Watch their diet! That is where
wives come into the picture. A

end even II he does realize the old
physique is losing its youthful lines,
he has not the will power to pass
up good food!
If he eats at least two Of his
meals at home, you are in the
position to cut down substantially
on the calories he consumes. But
you must see that he gets sufncient
nourishment to keep his strength
and heslth up to par even though
he may drop the offending extra
pounds. You may well ask how this
Is done!
have prepared a leaflet called
Scientific Diet-it is not q slim
ming diet. It Is q health sustain
ing diet which does, however, ad-
just weight to the normal and keeps
it there. Besides that the foods
suggested supply any man with suf-
ficient energy to carry on his ordi-
nary task unless they involve hard
physical labor such as digging in
the soil or carpentry work out of
doors. Such tasks do require great
deal of food and wouldn't attempt
to suggest menus for the men who
do them!
It is usually the man who sits
at his work, or stands in one posi-
ton, who needs figure supervision.
They get little exercise and their
only diversion seems to be eating.
They look forward to their meals
just as you do when you are away
on vacation. Eating becomes q
major diversion and one is inclined
to stuff ones stomach with a lot
of extra food or with food which
does us little good.
If you have a male figure prob
lem in your home, I suggest you
send for my two leaf1ets-one is
exercises for men to do at home
and the other is a guide to scien-
tific eating. Leave the leaflet around
where the man of the house will
pick it up accidentally-for no man
likes to be told, Henry you simply
must exercise, you're getting to look
awfully stopped"
You cannot do anything about
the meals he takes away from home,
but If you get him into good eating
habits at hoEae-nking the vegeta-
bles and fruits and whole grains
which are good for him-he will
unconsciously order the same menus
when he is in q restaurant. Most
