Dear Miss Dix: I am a soldier 38
years of age and unmarried. Dur
ing my younger years I was tied
down by obligations to my parents
and did not take up seriously the
job Of finding wife Now I have
reached the age where I am afraid
It is almost too late to start this
venture. had a responsible and
permanent position in business to
which I may return after the war,
so l am now in a position to marry
Should give up the idea of TAX
Ing wife and content myself with
single bleSSedneSs? Or have I a
chance to make a successful mar
riage? How much difference in age
Is ordinarily advisable between a
husband and wife?
CORPL. H. H. z.
Answer-You remember the old
hymn that says while the lamp
holds out to burn, the vileSt sinner
may return" and so there is no age
at which an eligible bachelor may
not marry If he repentS of his single
ways and goes about hunting for
a wife in the right spirit.
Anyway, man at 38 is in the
preferred risk class, so far as mar
riage is concerned, for he is still
Young enough to be romantic and
sentimental, and he is old enough
to be settled so that woman who
marries him knows what she is get
ting So she can take him, or
leave him, without the work and
worry of trying to make him over,
or the inconvenience of having to
take trip to. Reno.
She who marries a bachelor can
count on getting a fireside compan-
ion because he has wandered so long
among hotels and clubs and eaten
so long at restaurants and cafeterias
that he desires nothing so much
as home of his own. He is ready
to lick the hand of wife who will
feed him on home cooked victuals.
Night clubs have no lure for him.

One of the commonest complaints
grown people make against children
is summed up in the word Selfish.
He. she, lis SO selfish you can't live
with him."
Listening through the story the
basic fact soon becomes evident.
The complainant is selfish and is
complaining because his comfort,
his peace Of mind, perhaps his Sc
curity in the household, Is disturbed.
He rushes into the house, calls
for something to eat, slams doors

grimage when we have an opportu-
nifty to travel in this country, has
retained its reputation for fine food.
The French and Spanish colonists
pooled their recipes and made them
fit the generous products of the gulf
and the many fruits and vegetables
which can be grown in this climate.
They introduced the growing of
herbs from Europe and cultivated
native herbs. The result is cookery
with subtle seasoning, generally a
little more highly spiced than is
common in Europe.
All visitors exclaim over the soft
shelled crabs, shrimp, and the fish
such as pompano and red snapper
They like the squash stuffed with
crab meat. and epicures smack their
lips over "bouillabaisse" that highly
seasoned fish stew. Speaking of
stews, reminds me of the famous
"jambalsya" which is as much like
a stew as anything else. The indis-
pensable ingredient is fluffy boiled
rice, various meats, crab and shrimp
all highly seasoned are cooked with
the rice. This is a standard dish in
homes.
Among the herbs used in this dish
and in the favorite gumbos, which
are also steWS, is fill powder made
from sasSatras leaves which the
Louisiana Indians gather every
spring, dry and pound into fine
powder Chicken, game, crabs,
shrimp, veal and beef are all used
in gumbo. Perhaps one of the rea-
sons that Louisianians like rice so
much is because it is always served
with or as part of the dish of
highly seasoned foods.

War Worker
Needs Good
Support

We are likely to think of this war
as unique in its use of women work.
ers in factories, ammunition plants
and ship yards.
Yet, the following excerpt is from
an edition of the Literary Digest
during the year 1918. DR.. Alice L.
Cutter of the Westboro State Hos
pital, Massachusetts,, says:
Ammunition factories do an in
justice when they insist women en-
ployers shall wear only overalls and
jumpers" This was said in con-
nection with the belief women work.
ers needed an abdominal support.
Today, with thousands upon thou
sands of women in war plants, the
question is even more acute. Man,
and women especially, has always
had to fight the discomtorts and
disabilities which the upright posi-
ton imposes on them. 1t may seem
entirely natural to you to stand
upright on your two feet and wear
a hat but it would have seemed
strange conduct indeed if some of
our ancestors had done so.
The problems of prolapsus with
the accompanying interference with
circulation, the congestion, the
crowding, the fatigue, the backache
are a real problem to modern man.
Add to this the fact you are on
your feet virtually all day and you
need every aid you can get. A we'll
fitted abdominal support is one of
the best. This goes for salesladies
as well as factory workers.
Here are few hints about making
your girdle give you long service.
When you launder it. first close the
slide fasteners-if you still have
some. Soak in suds for three 10
minute periods, rinsing between
soakings. Never have the water
more than 80 degrees Fahrenheit
for white or pink lingerie or more
than 10 degrees for black. Roll
girdle in turkish towel and squeeze
extra water out gently. Dry at room
temperature.
If you wish to lose a few inches
in the stomach so you can go with
out your girdle on the hottest days,
my exercises. done faithfully, will
give you loss of several inches in
a few weeks
If you want them send a Scent

Exercises" to Josephine Jowman in

It's all too easy, unfortunately, to
become so stepped in war work and
war news that you begin to have a
military look Now this is just fine
if you're honestly" in uniform, a
member of the WAACS, or WAVES
or SPARS or Lady Marines, but it's
something else again if you're FEM
mime civilian.
Throughout the last war, women
incorporated great many military
touches into their wardromes. They
wore khaki and navy blue, took to
flowing capes and suits tailored to
within an inch of their lives. At
the start of this war, too, there was
a trend to martial motifs in fashion.
We found ourselves wearing eqaulets
and military-like caps and so much
insignia" that we looked like a
brass band.
But fortunately, the influence did
not linger Dye shortages removed
much of the khaki and navy and
we voluntarily became discriminat-
ing about insignia, refusing to wear
it unless it meant something" A
more important reason for our re-
turn to feminine clothes, however,
was the fact that so many women
were legitimately in uniform that it
looked rather diSreSpectful to emu
late them. And finally, the gentle
men suggested Subtly but surely that
unless we had some reason to look
so businesSlike, they'd prefer to see
us wear clothes that had more soft
ness, more appeal.
So, Mrs. John Brown and Mrs.
James Smith went back to their
simple dresses, their becoming hats
and left masculinity to the stronger
sex. But they were not the only
ones who realized the value of wear
able, adaptable clothes that do not
look like uniforms.
The other day, for example, Ray
Bell, publlciSt for one of the leading
alrlines, called to report that his
company'S hoSteSses were all dressed
up in tricky new outfits. 1t seems
that the organization, too. rea-
soned that men who fly these days
are likely TO be in uniform them
selves. and, as Ray explains it, they
like to rest masculine gaze on
something that is trim and attrac-
tive and not too military.
So, the s64 question was how to
outfit hostesses in regulation en-
sembles that would not awe the
customers yet would be cool, prac-
tlcal and neat. The answer is pic
tured on this page today. It's a
trim suit with gored skirt, two
button wartime shortie jacket and
stitched beret Of the same gray
rayon and mohair mixture as the
suit. Navy braid epaulettes match
the hat trim, and brown and white
spectator pumps Cthoughtfully or
dered before they became extinct)
complete the outfit, along with
white crepe blouses

to wear prescribed uniforms like to
get away from them as far as pos
sible-and the gentlemen heartily
second the motion. This applies to
your own clothes, whether you're a
housewife. warworker, lady riveter
or airline hostess.
Say what you want about morale,
clothes do give you a lift, so unless
you're in one of the services, do
keep your everyday costumes as
perky and pretty and in as good
taste as possible. Take tip from
the airline hostesses whose clothes
may be regulation" but are not
lacking in femininity and charm.

Aches and Pains
Often Mental
BY DR.. B. Warren

A careful study of the symptoms
of which a patient complains when
he consults a physician shows that
in about one-third the cause of
symptoms is entirely emotional, in
another third the cause is partly
emotional and in the other third the
cause is due to some real or organic
disease present. In other words, in
two of every three cases reinsurance
by the physician is main part of the
treatment.
