Manners
of the
Moment

I am developing great aversion
TO people who sandwich in their
appointments too closely. Especially
does it annoy me when I have invit-
ed one of these people weeks in ad-
vance to be my guest at luncheon
or whathave-you.
We get all set. in place which
I have picked with care because
am playing hostess. And then even
before we have started TO order, my
guest is looking furtively at her wrist
watch. and I know that we're going
to have to rush, and I won't be able
to order the crepes suzette.
1t is discouraging.
can forgive person from long
distance away, who gets TO the big
city but once year. I can see why
she wants to squeeze in visits with
all her friends, and visits to all of
the new places she has heard about.
But I honestly can't forgive a
local pal for acting that way unless
she is up against some business or
family emergency. There's no rea-
son for her to make an appointment
for fitting within Is minutes after
her appointment for luncheon.
1t spoils the fun. And one less
fitting wouldn't hurt any one.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Diverging Interests Often Cause
UnhappineSs in Married Life

The greatest unhappineSs in mar
rage is caused neither by the phil
anderer, nor the drunkard, nor the
nagger, nor the virago, but by either
the husband or the wife outgroWing
the other. And the tragedy is all
the more pitiful because it is one
for which no one is to blame unless
1t is Mother Nature. Neither one
planned it. Neither one desired it.
Neither one knows when they parted
company and one began TO climb
to the heights, while the other
stayed put in the low grounds. When
they married they never doubted
that they we're perfectly suited to
each other and would make a
thoroughly congenial couple. The
girl was pretty and sweet and gay.
The boy was good looking and ener-
getic, and full of the high spirits of
youth. They liked to dance and
listen to the radio and go to foot
ball games together. They had
physical attraction for each other
and were certain that theirs would
be one of the matches made in
heaven. So they married in all
good faith and then. somehow, the
girl became women and the boy
developed into man. And there
began that slow and insidious pro-
cess of growth that neither could
help that separated those who lived
daily side by side farther than if
oceans rolled between them, and
that made their marriage a death
in life.
Sometimes it is the wife who
outgrows her husband. He stays
mentally and spiritually, just the
nice boy she married. kind and
generous, devoted to the wife and
the children, and good provider,
but with no interests outside of
his business and the stock market
and the baseball score; while she
and become a highly intelligent
and cultivated woman. He is no
more of a companion for her than
a child is for a grownup, and her
marriage is one long endurance
test of how much boredom human
being can stand.
Many of the scandals into which
married women get themselves,
much of their peevishness and
fretfulneSs, and the sheer brutal
ity with which some of them treat
their husbands is to be attributed
to the fact that they are adult
wives of boy husbands, and that
they are as lonely in their own
drawing rooms as if they were
marooned on desert island with
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-11-01

nobody to speak to who talked their
language.
1t is, however, oftener the hus-
band who outgrows the wife rather
than the other way about. The
callow boy who was a suitable
enough husband for little Prettikins
develops into brilliant and sue
ceSsful man, while little Prettikins
stays just as she was, only not so
little and not SO pretty.
Nothing is commoner than to see
a Scintillating, poised man of the
world dragging around with dumb
little cluck of a wife to an accom-
paniment of whispered why did
he ever marry her?" A question
which must find its echo in his own
heart, for where he has gone she
cannot follow.
She cannot enter into his hopes
and plans and aspirations. She
cannot enter into the things that
are his life. He asks her for bread
and she gives him a stone.
And the suffering. the loneliness,
the absence of companionship, the
unity, the lack of all that really
makes marriage worth while has
to be borne by the wife as well as
the husband when a man outgrows
his wife, for she, too, is desolate
and miserable who might have been
happy II she was married to a man
who was as commonplace as she is.
But not much can be done. Some
times If couple perceive the danger
that threatens their marriage and
make an effort to keep in step, they
can do so, but not always. For
some of us are born groundlings.
while others are destined to become
the masts of tall ships.
But this common tragedy of hus-
bands and wives outgrowing each
other should, at least, serve as a
warning to undeveloped youngsters
to put Off marrying until they have
come to their full stature, and not
to be fooled into thinking that a
boy and girl must inevitably develop
along the same lines if they are
married. 1t is just matter of pure
luck If they do so.

Consider Baking Those Luscious Christmas Fruit Cakes
FROM THE MEMO PAD:

All-purp0se turbans are must"
on any wornan's list. One can use
them not only for day or evening
wear, but also for sleeping. They
are made of fine net, are washable,
adjustable and come in all colors. -.
Novelty soap in the form of roll
ing pin with wooden handles would
probably afford one great deal of
exercise while bathing. Then there
are other attractive soaps in all
shapes and sizes which would make
lovely gifts. For instance, there are
red and white checkers without the
board, teddy bears, a round ball
with the map of the world out
lined on it and last, but not least,
the famous EIGHT ball. This is
wrapped in black tissue with a
white figure eight pasted on it.
A miniature bar for holding hors
d'ceoeuvre spears would be an attrac-
tive addition to your party &C
cesSories. 1t is made OF wood with
a chromium top which has holes
for placing the spears. The tops
of these are made to resemble
various types of bottles. -.
Men as well as women like to keep
their jewelry intact, and a lovely
leather case is made for just this
purpose. 1t is lined with velvet and
has places for holding collar pins,
tie clasps, studs, and there is a
larger space for other pieces. =.
1t is certainly cold these days
watching outdoor sport events and
just the article for keeping "Old
Man Winter" from nipping you is a
plaid wooden bOdy-envelope." This
is made so that all one has to do is
step into it and zip up the front to
be snugly encased in a protective
wrapper. 80.
A silver plated lemon Squeezer
shaped like canary is a very handy
gadget to have. 1t does not leak
or drip and allows only the desired
amount of juice to flow from its
beak. Another necessary item for
'madame's' kitchen is a cast
, aluminium pie gadget that crimps,
seals and trims in one operation. 1t
also can be used for ease in decorate
ing the top Of pie.
A pipe and cigarette holder in the
form Of a man is very novel. The
whole article is made of wood with
the mans cap and suit painted to

two bags, one holding cigarettes, the
other a matchbox, and the wooden
stand has several indentures for
resting pipes. E.

Health Rules
For Gaining
Weight
Being Too Thin
Does Not Help
Appearance
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

So numerous are the women who
want to slim that a beauty editor
is apt to forget about the under
weights! But they have their def
mite problems, too, for being under
weight does not help ones appear
ance and it is detrimental to good
health. The too thin girl tires
easily and she is quite likely to be
nervous as her protective pad" of
fat is not sufficient to act as
shock absorber for her nerves.
What few underweights realize
is that their condition is caused
because their bodies are not func-
tioning normally. And it is usu-
ally in the digestive system where
the trouble lies.
Modern nutritioniStS advise us to
flush out the mucus and impurities
which have been collecting for some
time and making it impossible for
sufficient nourishment to be abb
sorbed from the food we eat. For,
as a matter of fact, many of the
too thin girls eat enormous meals.
But the food is not absorbed.
Scientific flushing of the body is
done by eating nothing but fruit
and vegetable juices for few days.
Fruit juices especially recommended
are orange, unsweetened pineapple
and tomato. The vegetable juices
(taken raw are: Carrot, spinach,
beet, celery, parsley and others.
Once your digestive tract is clear
Of disturbing deposits eat sensibly.
Include whole grains. fresh green
vegetables, fruits every day, young
tender meats and pure milk. Do
not drink water with your meals
for water has a tendency to dilute
the salivary juices in your mouth
and to hinder digestion.
Several times a day between
meals mix one fresh egg yolk
with glass of orange juice. Add
to it one tablespoon of honey. Beat
until foamy.
Or whip up one or two ripe
bananas in tall glass of milk two
or three times day for ripe bananas
furnish the engine which helps
you to digest other foods.
Every day the sun shines you
should bask in it from one to two
hours.
Chew your food very carefully.
Never rush your meals. Take
time to eat calmly.
AS thin types are likely to have
smaller stomachs and shorter in
testines it is more sensible for them
to eat smaller meals but to eat more
often.
Exercise self-control. Do not
worry so much. Get plenty of rest
and let a lot of little detail take
care of itself. In other words, don't
fuss.
Remember that eggs, pecans, all
fruits, all whole grains, honey,
cheese, lean young meats, milk and
cream, steak fish, and all vegetables,
are the foods you require to BAL
ANCE your nutrition. Until your
menus are balanced, and you are
giving your body ALL it needs to
gain weight, it will never round out
into alluring curves! In time you
will instinctively know what and
when to eat.

Cluttered Medicine
Chests Menace in
An EMERGENCY

Probably no medicine chest ever
built was big enough to hold all the
bottles, jars, tubes, pillboxes, cos
metics, soaps and toiletries that
most families acquire. Bathroom
cabinets frequently look like CATCH
alls threatening to spill their con-
tents every time the door is opened.
1t takes firmness of mind, but
there really ought to be determined
and frequent cleaning out of most
bathroom cabinets to keep them
tidy, efficient, clean. If you are one
OF those persons who just can't bear
to throw out the few teaspoonfuls
left from that elegant tonic that did
Aunt Hattie so much good a year
ago, why not at least transfer the
bottle to some place where there is
more room? And why should dis
torted tubes of sunburn lotion and
similar remnants continue to clog
your precious bathroom shelves
when the season for their use is
over?
Whenever you give your cabinet a
good cleaning, take out everything
and use plenty of soap and water.
Polish the shelves, scrub the entire
interior and put back only those
articles which you need now and
which are really serviceable.
A special bit of care by the house.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:

I am constantly afraid that some
one will fall while getting into our
attic by way of a ladder and trap
door. However, there is no room
on our second floor for a stairway
to be built. Is there some way of
solving this problem that has been
overlooked by inexperienced eyes?
D. S. A.
Answer-You might use a dis
appearing stair" When not needed
it lies fiat on the attic floor and is
as inconspicuous from below as the
trap door Stairs like these are
manufactured in standard floor-to-
floor heights and joist sizes. They
are self-balancing, demand very
little effort to operate and pivot into
place by weights. I think you will
find this the answer to your prob
lem.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:

have eight fine old marine prints
in color which I would like to use
in my library. What is the best
method of hanging them?
r. D.
Answer-They should be the main
decoration of the whole room. Use
them in a horizontal panel above
bookcases or in groups of four at
each side of a fireplace. Dc not
scatter or hang them at an angle.
Frame them all alike and in such
way that the color and detail of the
print is more apparent than the
frame.

DEAR MlSS NOWELb.
We have a door-sized opening to
the stairway from our living room,
and there seems to be a current of
air pouring down all the time that
we would like to shut off. How can
we do this without getting the blank
space of a door which would not be
attractive to look at due to the way
our living room is arranged?
R. T. E.
Answer-You might use a door
with decorative panels which would
add interest to the room, or shut
ter door or heavy hanging. My
choice would be the shutter door.
The lowers may be adjusted to pre-
vent draft, or left open for circula-
ton of air. Painted the color of
the woodwork it would be incon-
spicuous and not unattractive.

Answer-Center fixtures are sell
dom used nowadays unless you Sc
lect the recessed types which fit
into or fiat against the ceiling.
These come in various styles and
prices and I feel sure you will find
one that suits your pocketbook. If
you prefer, you may purchase
shield which covers the opening TO
the old fixture and gives a neat ap-
pearance. Then you may place your
fixtures on the side wall or use
lamps at necessary points.

Can you suggest two wall papers
that go well together?

Answer-The manufacturers have
done this for you. You will find

blend. There will be stripe, a
plain and figured paper, all bal
anced for color, size of pattern and
design. Look for these when you
shop for wall papers.
