Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Wife Should Prepare Herself
For Long DAYS of Loneliness
tor the dessert tOUer!

An eminent nerve specialist says
that the bored, middle-aged woman
who has nothing to do or interest
her after her children are grown and
leave home is Gods gift to the med
ical profession, for it is she and her
sisters who crowd the waiting rooms
of physicians and fill Sanatoriums
and who are the answers to the
prayers of doctors not only for bread
and butter, but for cakes and ale.
The case history of Mrs. Legion, for
such is her name, is interesting and
pathetic as she unfolds it to the
diagnostician. IT can't understand
what's happened to me, doctor, I
have always been so well and strong.
Why, I've done two Women'S work
Did my own cooking and washing
and housework and helped my hus-
band in the store when we were
first married and he was just getting
a start in business And then the
children came. For years there was
one baby in my arms and another
one pulling at my skirts, but was so
healthy I managed to take care OF
them all, for we didn't have any
money then to hire servants, every
thing we made going back into the
business. Maybe would be up half
the night with a sick child, but I'd
be up in the morning preparing
breakfast, getting papa of to work
and the children off to school, clean
ing, patching, darning, fixing the
baby's bottle, baking birthday
cake for Johnny, making Mary a
new dress to wear to school. doing
two women's work. doctor, and never
a sick day And all during the time
that the children were growing up
so much to do that I wonder now
how I ever got through with it all.
Hordes of young people coming and
going, dancing, singing, whooplng,
raidinG the icebox. Getting boys
of to college and camp, for papa
had made good money by then.
Making party dresses for the girls.
Giving entertainments for them. So
much to do all the time and yet
never seemed to mind it. Everybody
said I certainly had been blessed
with good health.
And then the boys finished COL
iege and got jobs in distant cities,
and the girls got married and papa
and 7 we're left alone in the big
house. And I said I certainly would
settle down now and take life easy,
with nothing to do.
Then this strange sickness came
upon me, doctor don't know what
these queer symptoms mean. I've
always been so full of pep and
energy and now I'm tired all the
time I don't want to go anywhere.
don't feel like doing anything.
Maybe I have some deadly disease.
I don't know. I have been to see
all the specialists and none of them
can find anything the matter with
me They don't seem to know what
ails me"
But the doctors do know what
ails Mrs. Legion. They know that it
is being bored. 1t is idleness. 1t is
having nothing to do. They know
that with her children's going her
interest in life went, too. They
know that she hasn't been able to
stand the lonesomeness of the big
house that was once so gay and
noisy and is now so still and silent.
The doctors know that it is COM

mon complaint among women who
have had big families, and that the
more devoted mothers they were the
more sure they are to have it, and
the more difficult it is to deal with
because they can write no prescrip-
ton that will give mother back
her babies and keep her so busy
she will not have time to be sick
herself.
The first remedy I would suggest
to them should be started early in
life. That is to be more wife than
mother To be chums with their
husbands, so that when their chill
dren 60 from them they will not be
left desolate.
Another way to prevent falling a
victim to the soul sickness from
which so many mothers suffer when
their young fly from the home nest
Is for them to realize that one S
children are only loaned them for
a few years.
Then they must 60 about the busi-
ness Of life for themselves, and a
mother should prepare herself for it
by providing herself with as many
interests as possible to fall back
upon in her hour of need. 1t is the
only thing that will save a woman
from joining the throng of neurotics
who infest doctors Offices and talk
about their symptoms.

Ten Steps for
Manicuring
The Nails
Process Differs
When Applying
Light Shades
By Patricia Lindsay

When using the lighter shades Of
nail polish you will find that it is not
possible TO cover the line where the
flesh ends and the nail extends.
Therefore the soft pink or rose polish
must not be applied over that lins
nor below the moon" line at the
base OF the nail.
Recently I had my nails manicured
and painted with very neutral rose
shade at fashionable nail salon
and here the procedure is described,
step by step.
l. The old polish was removed
with cotton and liquid remover.
2. The nails were shaped with an
emery board to a pleasing oval.
8. Softening cuticle cream was
worked around the nail before my
right hand was soaked in a small
dish Of soapy, warm water.
4. Steps l, and 3 were taken
with my left hand.
5. My right hand was dried thor
oughly and the cuticle pushed back
with cotton wrapped cuticle stick.
An occasional hangnail was lightly
trimmed with nippers
6. The under nails were washed
with soapy water and a cuticle stick,
then hand was scrubbed with small
nail brush and dried again.
7. Whitening was put under the
nail sparingly. Nail base was ap-
piled over entire nail (this is a color
less substance which dries like polish
with sheen).
8. The neutral rose polish was ap-
piled from moon to rim evenly.
9. My left hand was completed.
10. A colorless nail polish was
painted over the entire nail of each
finger. This prevents chipping and
makes the nail smoother.

Next, make each Of your guests
stand with heels against the wall,
facing a card table on which you
have placed a large stone marked
~Blarney Stone" Challenge them
to bend forward from the waist and
kiss the stone without losing their
balance or placing their hands on
the table.
While some are doing this stunt,
others can be trying their hand at
carving animals from Irish potatoes,
with pipe cleaners or toothpicks pro-
vided for legs.

for betting purposes, and lay out
a race course on the floor by placing
six lines of playing cards, end to
end, across the room. Have toy
horses (pictures will do numbered
from one to six. and let the crowd
bet as many beans as they wish
in multiples of five on any horse.
Have two dice of different colors.
When they are rolled, No. horse

it comes up 3, and so on. The
horse moves the number of spaces

they are divided among the hackers

Carrying Burden of
Heavy Homework
Health Menace
BY A nPelO Pafri

We, the people OF these United
States, take great pains to save our
children from the greedy masters
who would exploit their youth and
strength for their selfish ends. We
have strict laws against child labor
and any infringement of those laws
rouSes the wrath and indignation of
the community very quickly indeed.
We have societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to children We
support them with our money and
our opinions and our laws. We will
Jail the stupid person who injuries
child, or mistreats one There
are no people in the world who
love their children more or who do
more for their welfare and happi-
ness than we do. One place still
remains where good people are blind
to the suffering, the impositions laid
on children-the school.
There are still schools, usually
secondary schools, where homework
is an impossible burden laid upon
growing children. Because parents
have the respect amounting to rever-
ence fer our schools and for our
! teachers, they seldom protest about
it. Often they worry about the
health of the child who is not get
ting enough sleep or recreation, but
the school must be right, and the
imposition continues.
When the teachers are asked
about this they usually say, We
know the assignments are heavy,
but there is so much to do. and
the college entrance examinations
are coming on and these children
must pass. They cannot get into
college without passing those ex-
aminations and only those who have
the highest rating are taken in. You
Only those children who can stand
up under the work can make the
passing marks" And the teachers
speak the truth. They are worried
and overworked along with their
students.
The colleges say, I'VE have to
take the best ones first, so the
standards must be high. There is
no other way of selecting them.
There are so many young people
eager to enter college that there
is no room for all We have to
choose and we have no better way"
The problem comes back to where
it started, with the overburdened
student doing his homework. Maybe
If the parents decided that only
those children who could be bene-
flied by a college education should
be sent, that might help. 1t would
reduce the number of disappointed
candidates. and maybe tighten the
load on those who were actually
college students.
Maybe If we opened more tech
nical schools, did more for boys and
girls who like teamwork, gardening
and handwork we could tighten the
load on the purely cultural schools.
BY studying the pupils in the ele-
mentary schools and junior high
schools it might be possible to head
them to fields that are not over
crowded and again relieve the
classical institutions.
But even so, what possible good
can be accomplished by assigning
a fve-hour study program to a high
school girl, night after night? Isn't
that child's health, her mental at
titudes, more important than COL
lege entrance to her parents? The
teachers would help if they could.
1t seems to be the parents response
bility because it is they who control
the schools and the children.
