Modern Methods Of Production Take Mushrooms Out of Luxury Class
By DOROTHY MURRAY.

Brighten up your desk, whether
1t be at home, Office or school, with
mosaic patterned blotters. These
are very inexpensive, so there is no
reason why anyone should have TO
sit before desk with a messy blot
ter. We are certain that among
the II different colors you will find
one that suits your fancy. One OF
these blotters would fit nicely into
a desk pad with gold fooled top
grain cowhide corners. A felt back
ing keeps this from sliding on desk.
These come in such colors as brown,
blue, green and maroon. .....
Keep boric, cotton, nipples and
other necessary items for baby IN
frosted glass bottles with the name
of the article painted across them.
A set of these comes with wicker
tray which has a handle to make
I it easy to carry to any part OF the
house. Available in the traditional
baby colors, pink and blue. $500.
Stop drudgery by using new
cleaner that is efficient and ec0nom-
ical. 1t cleans painted walls, hard
wood floors, mirrors and tile and
/ plate glass furniture tops. There
is no fuss or muss; simply apply
cleaner to cloth and rub The same
company has another product on the
market for shampOoing rugs and
/ upholstery. This is also good for
box springs and mattresses. .....
The latest coffee maker automat-
| time and shuts itself off when done,
! then sets itself to keep the coffee
! hot Indefinitely. All you have to do
is put in the coffee and water, set il
and then forget it. No watching is
required. The apparatus is made OF
chromium plate and is unbreakable.
I Remove the top section and you
have a lovely server .....
If, when travelling, you carry
liquids for medicinal purposes, be
/ sure and have bottle guard. These
come in two sizes and are made of
thickly padded suede fabric with
( Upper fastenings. When bottle is
slipped into one, there is no need to
worry about breakage and leakage
in your suitcase. ....
/ Save the time that it takes to
make your own by purchasing some
of the many different kinds Of pre-
pared food dressings. For instance.
there are various brands of dressing
for cole slaw, delicious French or
/ Russian dressing and. last, but not
/ least, a delightful meat sauce. These
are nicely put up in attractive bottles
and are handy to have on the pantry
shelf for that last minute" supper
/ party.
A bright metal plate water ther-
mos and tray set is very attractive.
The finish of this metal is iridescent,
with the colors resembling those Of
peacock. 1t is trimmed with
chromium and will not tarnish or
/ stain. Ice buckets to match may be
| purchased separately and would
greatly enhance the set. .....

Dorothy Dix Says go
Husbands Must Train New Wives
In Same Manner as Secretary

1t is no trick at all for him to
achieve his hearts desire II he be-
gins training his wife to be a
good housekeeper as soon as they
cross the threshold of their first
home.
The young bride is always slosh-
ing over with good resolutions about
being a perfect wife, and her hus-
band can impress upon her from
the very first that slovenlinesS and
poisonous cooking are no part of
his ideal of domestic bliss.
He can stimulate her ambition
by praising her pies when they
are edible and by looking like an
early Christian martyr when she
sets before him food that would
give an ostrich dyspepsia. Prac-
tically always a woman is the kind
of a housekeeper that her husband
demands that she shall be.
Or suppose man wants thrifty
wife, one who will save his money
and help him get along in the
world. Most girls have never had
any experience in handling money
before they were married. II they
were home staying girls. they bought
things on bill that papa paid.
If they were business girls, mother
nearly always took their pay en-
velopes away from them and doled
them out what she thought they
should have. So when their hus-
bands bring home their salaries
they have their first adventure
In spending, and only too often
they are wasteful and extravagant
because a hundred dollars looks
to them as big as thousand. and
a thousand makes them feel as
rich as Mrs. Rockefeller.
1t is more the husbands fault
than the wife's II she runs him
into debt. 1t is because he did
not teach her how to keep budget,
how to spend so as to get the
most out of every dollar, how to save
SO that they might spend their old
age on Easy street instead of on
Poverty Flats.
Or suppose man wants wife
who will be a companion to him.
That is easy enough. too. If the
husband will take the trouble to
jack her up whenever she begins
to slump, as so many wives do
after marriage when they think
they have caught the car and there
is no use in sprinting after it any
more.
Admittedly it takes time and
trouble for a husband to teach his
wife to be the sort of a wife he
wants. But it can be done. And
it pays. DOROTHY DIX.

Answer-Rug cushions do protect
your rugs in many ways, and l
think they are necessary to keep the
rugs from being torn, even If you
use the following device to prevent
slipping. You may get an attach
ment similar to the snaps you use on
your dresses to go on the corner of
your rug. The receiving end has
four tiny tacks that hold it in the
floor and the upper section is sewed
to the corner of the rug. These may
be snapped and unsnapped easily
and really do a very efficient job.
However, it would seem to me much
safer to have rug cushions under
the rugs as the pulling and tugging
on these corners, even though the
rug did not slip, would be very hard
on your nice rugs. I suggest that
YOU investigate the several different
kinds Of rug cushions and see II
the combination of these two devices
will not solve your problem.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
NV kitchen wall is badly cracked
on two sides. 1t has been mended
from time to time with plaster Of
paris, but the tiny cracks continue
to appear, and though the kitchen
has been painted three times in six
wears, the cracks still come back
They do not seem wide enough to
dig out and replaster, but as I am
going to have the work done again
soon I would like your advice about
them. Is there any type Of wall
finish that might cover these cracks
better than paint?
MRS. H. D. C.
Answer:
Have you thought of using one Of
the coated fabric wall coverings?
This is ideal to solve your problem
as the fabric gives slightly and will
cover cracks and unevenness in the
wall better than any other material.
| 1t has somewhat the appearance of
oil cloth as 1t is a cotton cloth
coated with a washable plastic sur
! face. 1t comes in lovely plain COL
ors and delightful patterns. in both
dull and shiny finish. This makes
gay and attractive kitchen and
will save you money, for I am sure
1t will give you years of service.

People
Are Sure to
Be Disliked
Children Fall Easy
Prey to Their
DOmineerin9
By ANGELO PATRI.

If there is one sort OF human
weakness that children resent more
than any other it is domination.
The bosSy teacher, the dominating
daddy gets no applause from the
children who suffer under their
hard rule. If they could see just
once the relief which a child eXudes
when he sees them go their way,
they might wonder at themselves,
at their ability to make such gigan-
tic blunders in their attempt to do
good unto children.
Bill is a healthy, good-natured
boy, no evil in him, but active and
filled with curiosity. His inquirlng
mind allows nothing to pass without
at least one good look. His father
dug a hole under the garage floor
to get at q drain and had TO leave
the job incomplete. He laid board
across it and hoped to get back
to the job before anybody tell into
the hole. He saw Bill heading
toward the garage.
Hi, there, Bill Come back"
Il have to 60 to the gar"
Come back, say. When speak,
you heed! Go into the house ana
don't come back out again until
1 tell you you may"
But Dad"
Don't stand there. butting at me.
Go in tell YOU.
So Bill, in raging tears went into
the house and told his mother he
couldn't get her bag out of the car
because father wouldn't let him 60,
and he thought father was out of
his head, anyway. That made no
end of row. Why in the name of
common sense couldn't the man tell
his son why he did not want him
to 90 into the garage? Why couldn't
he say he wanted to keep him safe?
He could not do that because he
loved to be the boss.
Once I had a teacher like that
She used to tell me to do things
that did not need doing just for
the fun of bossing. Don't you dare
ask a single question" Don't you
dare say one word when 1 tell you
to do something" Il tell you to
do it. That's enough reason" I
didn't like that teacher and after
many years / still don't like her.
Some of these people boss chill
dren and anybody else who have
to stand for it, because they can't
be on top anywhere else or with
anybody else. Outside Of home or
school they are failures. Their only
chance to be tops is at home or
among children who cannot talk
back.
Some few have the unfortunate
affliction of shyness. They would
love to be affectionate and kind
but they cannot get out of their
shells, and their loud and gruff
ways are but shields for tender
hearts. Children soon discover their
secrets and turn toward them CRATE
fully without regard to their rough
ness. They know what is real.
The bossy one likes nobody better
than himself and he takes what
he lacks of self-importance out
of those near him, especially the
helpless ones.
A boss is q bully. In time his fate
catches up with him but mean
while children and gentle people
suffer at his hands. The one way
to best him is to stand up to him,
but children cannot do that. They
need help.
MIR. Patri will give personal
attention to inquiries from par
ents and school teachers on the
care and development Of children.

When a man employs a girl VINO
has never done any work outside
of her homeland precious little in
ito be a secretary, or clerk, or
saleswoman, he does not demand
that she shall turn out finished
performance at the very start. He
expects to use time and patience
in training her for her job and to
teach her all his little ways and
peculiarities and how he wants the
work done. But when a man gets
in dealing with his bride, although
he knows perfectly well that all
her life she had been mothers
petted darling and saved from every
hardship and responsibility, and
that her sole idea of marrying is
that it is something that gives her
an excuse for swell wedding and
furnishes her with a permanent
date. Which. of course, isn't the
idea at all. But that is what the
inexperienced little girl thinks that
marriage is. Something that she
can play at when she isn't doing
really important things, like going
to bridge parties and keeping up her
golf and lunching with the girls and
so on. So it is no wonder that she
turns out such bungling and in
efficient job as wife that by the
end of the first year her husband
would fire her if he could. Ap-
parently it never occurs to these
disappointed bridegrooms who con-
slider their marriage failures be-
cause their girl wives can't cook
like mother or handle them with the
adroitness that a widow does her
third husband that they are de-
manding the impossible of them.
And, worse still, they are expect
ing a plain. ordinary girl. who lays
no claim to occult powers. to be a
mind reader who will know just
what they want and expect of their
wives without ever being told.
That is nine-tenths the trouble
with marriage. The wife doesn't
know how to please her husband
because she doesn't know what he
wants her to do. He knocks her
mistakes and grumbles over her
failures. But he doesn't teach her
how to avoid them, nor how to ac-
quire a line that will make a hit
with him.
In a word, the husband does not
take the trouble to train the ig-
norant young girl he marries into
being the kind of wife he desires
as he would train a girl he hired
into being a model secretary. yet
he makes one contract for life and
the other for week. Strange,
isn't it?
Suppose, for instance, man
marries at least partly for a home
He wants to come home at night
to a clean and orderly house, to a
good dinner, to a wife who has
prettied herself up to welcome him.

easy for the novice to use. But fresf
mushrooms are so simple to prepare
that no one should shy away from tht
undertaking. They cook quickly. anc

campS-So it really is a matter Of
Individual preference. Personally, II
you choose tender. clean, carefully

Is superfuous. Brushing them well
should suffice.
Most epicures maintain that THE
way to cook mushrooms is by broil-

better way to prepare them, but your
efforts needn't stop there. Plenty

or deviled ham-there is no end to
the wondrous connections you can

One of these days we're going
to take a postgraduate course and
discover why men are 50 allergic
to haircuts. Can't figure out
whether it's the wasted" time in
. barber chair, the feeling of naked
ness after the operation or the IS or
so cents. Anyway, it's one of the
necessary evils. so you might just as
well make the best of the situation
and take hint from the ladies.
They make standing appointments
to get their hair whipped into shape
and it's practically sacrilege to break
them. Might be a good idea
to do the same at your favorite
barber shop. Then, if you knew
that on certain date every couple
of weeks, at a certain hour, you must
appear for the regular shearing, it
would probably become such a habit
that you wouldn't give it a second
thought.
And just think of the nagging
that could be eliminated! . Twould
stop those horrible jokes about dog
licenses and violins, too.

for my room II is a very lovely
piece of material and I had planned
to trim it with pinked ruffles, which
are pleated very full and sewed
through the middle 1t looks almost
like a ruching. I saw a bedspread
like this, which I like very much.
but one of my friends said that she
thought the pinked edges would not
wear very well and that I should
hem the ruffles. I feel that I can
not get the same effect with hemmed
edges, and would like your advice
MARION S.
Answer
AS you will never wash your
glazed chintz, and can figure that
with proper care and airing it will
not need cleaning for two years,
I think you might wisely use the
pinked ruffles. I am aware of the
effect that you are trying to get
and you could not accomplish it
with hemmed edges. There is no
doubt that the edges will fray a
bit after a year or two. but you
still may use them, for the pinked
edges of 1860 were deliberately
frayed. Or, you may snip of the
edges another one-quarter Of an
inch and start all over again.

them in full color e. and from
the brush of more than 200
American artists.
The collection includes re-

many we'll known pictures such
as hang in museums and private
collections.
