Manners
of the
Moment

There may be a time and a place
for every argument. But It's not
every time nor every place.
This is rapidly becoming one Of
the major problems of our era. Every
one argues every one else blue in
the face. After dinner coffee cups
are broken. plates are brushed of
tables, gravy is spilled and hostesses
are wondering whether there is any
one they can invite with any one
else without having the evening end
up in a vocal brawl.
Now some hoSteSSes enjoy argu-
ments around their table. But not
fights.
And some much prefer quiet con-
versation.
1t seems to me that guests should
try to judge the temper of the
hostess and keep their ideas under
control accordingly. 1t might be a
good idea If we all adopted the old
gentlemanly method of tapping the
opponent with a glove and making
an appointment for the duel Or we
might just roll up our sleeves and
say, Shall we move out to the back
yard?"
1t is possible, you know, to avoid
an argument just by changing
the subject and talking about a
flower show. JEAN.

By Leftice Lee Street,

When 6-year old Sammy came
home from school he ate an enor-
nous lunch, begged for candy after
ward, and lolled listessly around the
kitchen asking for more food.
Sammy had always been sturdy
chap, tall and strong for his age
and never underWeight. But now,
although he was eating more than
he ever had before, he was getting
thin. He had an incessant craving
for sweets, drank quantities of water
and was obliged to visit the bath
room frequently. He did not behave
like well child and his mother
eyed him anxiously.
He had no fever, and, surely, she
thought, there could not be any
thing wrong with a Child who had
such fine appetite. Finally,
though, she spoke to her husband,
saying, Sam, have you noticed that
Sammy does not look and act like
himself lately? He is losing weight,
too"
"Oh, he's all right, look how he
eats. He's just lengthening out and
losing his baby fat. Now don't get
yourself all worked up or spend
money on needless doctors bills
So the matter was dropped until
it was obvious that Sammy was a
very ill child. Upon examination
the doctor gave the diagnosis
diabetes.
This story describes a typical
beginning of diabetes, which is COM
mon to children as well as to adults
In 40 per cent of the cases of dia-
betes in children it is inherited. 1t
can occur in infants, or at any age
but often starts at about the fifth
year.
Among the symptoms are a tre-
mendous appetite, an Unsuitable
craving for sweets, constant thirst
frequent urination, gain of weight
at first, followed by loss of weight
A doctor can detect its presence by
an examination.
Diabetes is a disease of metabol-
ism; which is the name of the utili-
Zation of foods and the handling
of waste products of foods in the
body. For great many years
it was considered that the pancre-
attic gland secreted the product that
was responsible for the regulation
of sugar metaboliSm. This product
was sought for many years without
success until in the early 1920'S Wher
two Canadian doctors, DR.. Bantine
and Dr. Best, isolated materia
which they named insulin.
When people have diabetes this
insulin ceases to be manufactured
in their bodies in sufficient amounts
and thus the body is less able to take
care of the carbohydrates, which
are the starches and sugars thai
we eat. Sometimes adults can bt
treated for diabetes through die
alone, because If patient has 6
decreased amount of insulin he may
eat a decreased amount of carbo-
hydrates and thus control the
disease.
But dieting did not work with
children because a little child mo-

Imposition
In Letter
Husband Can Help
With the Chores
If Wife Works
By Dorothy Dir

Dear Miss Dix: I have Won
derful husband and we have been
as happy as any couple could be.
No fly in the amber except his
mother, who feels that her son is a
poor, prosecuted martyr because he
helps me with the houseWork. The
reason he does this is because that
in order that we may buy a home
and furnish it I have kept on with
the job had before we were mar
ried. Inasmuch as help with the
money earning my husband feels
that he should help with the house
work. On the days when I come
home too tired to cook a decent
meal he very sweetly tells me that
he isn't bit tired and will get
dinner. This burns my mother-in-
law up and I am never with her for
five minutes that she does not tell
me that it is the woman's place
to do the cooking, wash the dishes,
mop the floors and do the laundry.
She looks him over with an eagle
eye and woe is me if one of Johns S
buttons is missing. Naturally all of
this has got on my nerves and while
I have so far managed to keep my
tongue and just pass it up as one of
those things, I don't know how
much longer I am going to be able
to stand it. What am l to do?
PERPLEXED.
AnSWer-It is so hard for people,
and especially for women, to discuss
any point about which they disagree
without getting into each other S
hair and snarling things up worse
than they were before, that I am
a great advocate for settling diff
culties by mail. So if I were you
I should write my mother-in-law q
very nice, kind, affectionate letter
in which I would tell her that I was
sure that she had never stopped
to consider that the wife who worked
outside of the home had an entirely
different status from the one who
worked solely in the home.
Tell her that you agree with her
that the woman who has nothing
to do but to keep house should not
expect her husband to do any of
the cooking or dishwashing. That
as soon as you get your house paid
for and give up your job that you
are never going to let John so much
as put a saltcellar on the table.
But that if she will stop to think
she will realize that you are doing
as hard a days work in an Office as
he is and that it is nothing but fair
for him to help you get the dinner.
I think that sort of letter will
make her see how right you are in
your position and that you are not
imposing on her darling little boy.

ASldliI . AAOHSAo.
Hendrica van der Filler has mas
tered innumerable types of weaving,
but above all she loves the Gobelin
art which has long been recognized
as the supreme example OF this
craft. The name is derived from
the brothers Gobelin, who first per-
fected the work and whose skill in
blending colorS attracted the at
tention of Colbert. the celebrated
French minister. In turn, Colbert
called the attention of his king to
this remarkable work; the factory
was purchased by the crown and all
tapestry making in France became
united under the Gobelins. Today
the work continues, and students
have come from all over the world
to study and master this distinctive
method of weaving. World condl-
tions may make the availability OF
study at such schools and studios
impossible, but many skilled artists,
such as Nine van der Filler, are now
making their homes in this coun-
try and producing the same type OF
lovely things that are to be on dis
play in Washington.
Probably the most outstanding
piece in this collection, and the one
which holds the place of honor, is
the Prince Charming" tapestry.
This exquisite bit of work shows
knights in shining armor against a
background of snow-capped noun
tains and a winding blue river. A
lovely old Russian folk tale is woven
into the tapestry, which is carried
out in clear, beautifully blended
shades of coral and blue. AS mat
ter of fact, complete room could
be built around this example OF
weaving. using a natural wood pan
eled wall of walnut or mahogany
as background, with the rich blue
and coral notes repeated in up
holstery and drapery materials.
This adaptability of tapestries to
modern living is no accident on the
part of Nine. van der Filler. Her cog
nizance of their usefulness is appar-
ent in her own life, for no matter
where she travels she surrounds
herself with pieces of her own work
and that of her students, using
them as chair coverings and wall
hangings. She even Weaves the ma
terial for her own gowns, with bands
of woven decoration as their sole
trimming This talented artist has
done much to bring the art OF Weav-
