POnanderS
Are Easy
To Make
Spicy Scent Balls
Are Returning to
Old Popularity
BY EDITH HOUGH.

When oranges and apples are COW
cred with cloves, which act as a
preservative. they retain delight
full scent, not diminishing with time
and as pleasant as that of dried
herbs. These fragrant balls may be
used as decorations with autumn
leaves or with evergreen branches
after the garden flowers have gone
and throughout the winter. Ar
ranged with hemlock. spruce or
pine, on which they harmonic as
natural cones, they are effective
centerpieces. Often they are heaped
in bowls, placed here and there in
the house, as cut flowers and plants.
If they are inclosed in a silk
material, they have the many uses
of sachets, perfuming boxes and
linen and. when hung from coat
hangers, benefiting the cloth, for
cloves are repellant to moths. Even
without covering of material, they
are appropriate as small gifts or
favors.
Oranges make the most satisfac-
tory pomanders, for their scent is
most pronounced, but lemons and
lines offer variety in form, if
they are to be combined in table
decorations, and a more convenient
size, if they are intended for sachets
The smaller fruits shrink and dry
more quickly and are, of course
easier to prepare. Apples take longer
to dry and, as they have a fainter
fragrance, retain the predominant
scent of cloves, sometimes preferred
to that of the citrus fruits.
The method of preparing such
spice balls is simple and requires
little time. For example. a small
orange of round shape, with thin
and perfect skin, is chosen. With
a needle, holes are pierced in the
skin as close together as the cloves
will fit, leaving only a little space
between each. Whole cloves, with
heads, are fitted into the holes,
entirely covering the fruit. The
skin will split, If the fruit is held
too tightly or if the cloves are in
serted in a straight line, but small
splits soon disappear as the fruit
dries. 1t is cured, dry and shrunken
to a small size, in about 10 days and
the cloves form a compact mass over
the surface.
For variety in color, cinnamon
and other powdered spices may be
sprinkled over the fruit, after the
cloves have been packed in. They
will adhere to the drying skin
around the cloves and can be busted
from the heads.

sist upon living with their children
when they know that their in-laws
loathe them, and who deny their
children all privacy because they do
not like to spend a moment alone.
Why shouldn't mother consider
her children as much as she expects
them to consider her and after they
have provided her with all the CON-
forts of life and made it possible
for her to be near them? Why
shouldn't she feel that she is in
honor obligated to accept the ar
rangement gratefully and show ap-
probation of their affection, instead
of complaining because she has had
to give up her plan for theirs? All
children should feel that it is their
sacred obligation to their mothers
to take care of them to the best of
their ability, but it is fantastic
stretch of duty to consider that they
have to martyrize themselves for
their mothers. DOROTHY DIX.

Marking of Brides
Linens With New
Initials Correct
RY EMILY POST.

I don't know who they" are
sometimes I have been told they"
are me! This is in answer to the
mother of a bride-to-be who asks
me to explain who is meant by this
nebulous they" I'm my daughters
vocabulary" she writes, 'it is always
they who don't do that any more.
and they who are doing 1t this
way now" Her letter goes on to
ask why "they" are not marking
linen with the brides own initials
any more, but using her married
initials?
So to this, I can answer that
am III this particular instance at
least one of those who have en-
couraged future initial marking, be-
cause otherwise all through life the
Smith family are always using
towels and napkins and sleeping be-
tween sheets and on pillowcases, all
marked with a big j. for Jones,
which looks as though they had got
them at auction. AS a matter of
fact, marking them with her pres
ent or her future initial is con-
sidered equally correct And answer
ing seriously on the they" sub
ject-"they" means consensus OF
well-informed opinion.
Dear Mrs. Post: When do a wife
and husband call each other Mr..
and Mrs. before other people? In
the days before yesterday, wasn't it
the practice in the best circles for
them to call each other Mr.. and
Mrs. - even when addressing each
other?
AnsWer-It was an American pro-
vincialism, much ridiculed by
Charles Dickens in his American
Notes" Further back than that.
the characters in Jane Austen's
novels called each other Mr. and
Mrs. But myself have never heard
anything of the sort, and have no
idea where the custom began-or
ended!
Dear Mrs. Post: When the bride
to-be's father has been dead many
years, and her mother has, during
her widowhood, become well known
as Mrs. Mary Blank in civic and
philanthropic work in the city, so
that no one any longer knows her
as Mrs. John Blank, does the notice
sent to the newspapers about the
daughters engagement have TO say
that she is the daughter of Mrs.
John Blank, instead of Mrs. Mary
Blank? Doesn't this situation alter
the ruling of taste?
Answer-It might alter the situ-
alton of convenience. but it does
not alter the rule of taste.

moody adolescents and it has its
good side. At least it did at one
time. Dishes are soon washed these
days and they're not enough to fill
any girls life. Washing the
dishes, to be of any use to the dish
washer, must imply having had
something to do with the job that
made them ready for washing
hence, preparing the meal This
creative effort is what is denied
many young people and they don't
get spiritual satisfaction out Of
clearing away the signs of other
folks creative work.
What the moody adoleScent boy
or girl needs is the chance to do
creative work and the usual school
and home routine does not offer it.
1t is this lack in the lives of our
young people that is forcing them
into the ranks of do-nothings,
movie fans, idlers and hangers -on.
1t is this lack that creates moody,
brooding, miserable young people
for whom the world seems to have
no use.
If there is an adoleScent child in
your circle check up on his day to
discover what opportunities he has
had during the day for creative
work, for a job, a bit of service or
a lesson that involved initiative,
direction, responsibility and the
feeling of personal achievement.
You will discover, if the situation
is at all usual, that this young per-
son. so alive and so eager to do and
to be, has been obliged to follow an
ordered routine all day long with no
chance whatever to discover way
for himself or to carry out an idea
of his own. When you remember
that all mental and spiritual growth
must depend upon activity, self-di-
rection, responsibility for ones per-
sonal actions, you can begin to see
why we have so many discouraged,
helpless, useless adolescents.
A boy or girl is willing to clear
up after a job he does under his
own power because his spirit has
been fed through self-directed, per-
sonally initiated work. That child,
so cheerful when at work of his
own, becomes a moody, protesting,
soured child when made to clean
up after work with which he had
had no association, in which he has
had no partnership.
The idea is this: Don't order a
child to wash the dishes, in any
field of activity. until you have
granted him a share in the creative
side of the job. Do that and you
have healthier, happier, far more
useful person to deal with. Use
fulness is a cure for moods, but it
must be real and creative to be
effective.

Manners
Of the
NJ O m e n t

1t never pays to give up your vigil
when you are having your hair
done. The minute you close your
eyes and decide to relax the hair
dresser gets creative.
You may, of course, have been
looking for years for a creative
hairdresser who could do something
unusual with your locks. But I still
don't advise you to allow him to go
entirely without supervision.
The chances are that if you close
your eyes your coiffure artist will do
the one thing to your hair which he
has been dying to do for months,
but which you have never allowed
him to do before. He may practical
ly shave your head, or he may give
you a top-knot the like of which
would cause you to be the butt of
ridicule in your home, or he may
just put the main wave 2 inches
away from the place you like it.
But whatever he does it is sure to
be disastrous from your point Of
view.
And once he has done it you can't
call him down without hurting his
feelings. That, I need not remind
you, is not a wise thing to do to
ones hairdrdesser. JEAN.

especially when you have established
her in a home so close to you that

her and you are certainly not called

of the wreck of your marriage.
This problem of what is the duty
Of children toward mothers who are
breaking up their homes is one
that we have regarded heretofore
solely from the sentimental point
of view. And in it we have given
mother the count.
We have sung songs about moth
er's devotion and mothers sacrifices
for her children and we have pic
tured Mother as coming into her
children's houses to bless them and
the little grandbabes about her
knees, and we have berated the sons
and daughters who did not welcome
mother at their flresides.
But we have said very little about
mother being a trouble maker, and
we have ignored the fact that in
tens of thousands of cases husbands
and wives see that mother is the
rock on which their homes are 60
ing to pieces and that they have TO
decide between their husbands and
wives and mother.
