of the
Moment

Whenever man is offered drink
in a household where the furniture
shines and there are little vases of
flowers around on every occasional
table. think it would be wise for
him to see that he has something
under his glass to keep it from
making a ring on the furniture.
Some housewives forget to pro-
vide any sort of protection for their
furniture And yet after the guests
have gone these same housewives
will go about the house fuming at
the rings left on their most priced
pieces of mahogany. I have heard
them.
Consequently, 7 think guest
should provide his own protection
if he wants a return invitation. If
he has a newspaper with him, he
might spread it out-ostentatiously
If he wishes to make point-on the
table before he sets his drink down
If he hasn't a newspaper, he can
use his handkerchief.
And perhaps if he makes show
of it. the housewife will either do
something about it. or tell him the
furniture is of no account.

Dear Dorothy Dix. NV husband
and I live with his mother who is
a Well-to-do widow. She has a nice
home, a fine car. a comfortable in
come. She is only 81 years old and
is IN perfect health. and there is no
reason why she couldn't have her
independent life and be happy and
thus let us have our independent
life and also be happy But she
insists on us living with her al
though she knows that both my hus-
band and I are crazy to have our.
own home. Every time the subject
is brought up she says she can't let
us go because she is so alone, and
she begins to weep and says that
it makes her cry when she thinks
Of how happy she used to be when
her boys were little children And
that now we want to leave her so
that she will be so lonesome that
she will ole and we can get her
house and car and property. Then
she has to be comforted. and by the
time the scene is over We are right
back 10 where We started If
mother -in-laW were old or i'll or in
financial need, I could see why il
would be our duty to stay with her.
But since she is not. don't see why
our whole lives should be sacrificed
to her desire for us to be in the
same house with her After all. We
wouldn't be more than few blocks
away. and We have as much right to
our lives as she has to herS.-Dau-
ghter-in-LaW.
AnsWer-Parents who insist upon
their children living with them in
stead of setting up their own homes
are not only very selfish, but they
are very foolish, because nothing

and happiness than to be relieved of

ferent religion and come Of differ

of reasons why they would not fit
smoothly into their husbands and
wives families. and why If they lived
in peace and harmony it would take
"a bit of doing" as the English say,
on both sides.
My suggestion to YOU is to get YOUR
mother-in-law to try living alone
with a companion as an experiment
II she does. she will find herself so
free and unhampered that she will
feel like a bird out Of cage and
she will wonder why she didn't do it
long ago. There are plenty Of mid

of such home AS she would offer

congenial than she does a young

WhyGrow
Old!
By Josephine Lotcman

don't have TO be A fortune teller
to know that the two spots in
which women accumulate most fat
are the stomach and the hips, I
learned that years ago by using two
eyes and a tape measure!
Even though YOU are very active
person. and perhaps Go your own
housework. YOU seldom indulge in
motions which stretch the big
muscles of the torso and the hips.
Remember in these exercises that
the stretch is the important part.
Walking Is a grand, healthful eXer-
else which is valuable in general
reduction. but it will not take the
place Of specialized exercises when
it comes TO whiting off the bulgeS.
To save your time and energy
and fgures-I have planned eXer-
cises which reduce both the stomach
and the hips. Here IS one. Sit on
the floor. Lean back on both ell
bows. legs straight Lift both legs
off the floor as far as YOU can
knees stiff. AS you lower legs to
floor separate legs as far as comfort
able. After the legs have reached
the floor, drag them together. Be
sure that the legs are resting on the
floor. and that you Go not lift them
from the floor as YOU drag them
together.
This exercise is splendid for the
abdomen and also reduces the thighs
and firms the inside Of the leg.

the answer, and a good one it is.
Somebody whispered darkly the
other day that we may not have
bubble baths in the future-seemS
that these, too, may be part OF a
shortage. not because Uncle Sam
wants the Army and Navy to have
frothy baths but because OF some
vital ingredient in the product that
makes the bubbles. OF course we're
not getting excited about It. There

ment you'll continue for some time
to sink blissfully into tub of suds

It's gotten so that We can't bear
the sight of a simple, 'un-bubbly

plenty of powders to keep us happy.
Among our latest discoveries along
this line is a sweet smelling one
which comes in a tall, thin con-
tainer and is powdered so fine that
it shakes out with no trouble at all.
You know the process, let little
water run into the tub shake in A
