Dorothy Dix Says

DEAR MISS DIX: Has husband
the right to forbid his wife to
smoke? I have two friends, both
fine people and who love each other,
but whose marriage is about to be
wrecked over the wife's smoking.
She does not smoke in public or at
home when they have callers, nor
when she is in the company of other
women who do not smoke, but her
husband claims that it is only the
questionable characters who smoke,
and that any man who sees a
strange woman smoking believes her
to be an easy pickup.
The wife considers that he insults
her when he says such things to
her, and his constant nagging has
gotten on her nerves so that it
is gradually killing her love for him.
Twice during their marriage she
has given up smoking because of
his objection to it, but now she just
feels that he is narrow minded and
that she has perfect right to
smoke If she wants to. What do
you think about this?
PUZZLED FRIEND.
AnSWer-HuSbands and wives have
plenty of rights in marriage, but
the trouble is they can't collect them
without Wrecking it. Abstractly, 6

wife has just the same right to
smoke or eat onions as her husband
has, but If he objects to cigarette
stubs being strewn all over the place
and garlic favored kisses, she should
sacrifice her own tastes in the in
terests of peace and harmony.
Unless, of course, she gets more
pleasure out of a cigarette than she
does out of her husbands society.
You remember Mr.. Kipling's heros
conclusion in the same matter was
that "a woman is only a woman,
but good cigar is a smoke" And
that goes equally for both sexes.
Possibly what's sgotten your
friends back up about her smoking
is her husbands antiquated views on
the subject, for nothing could be
more ridiculous than his assertion
that every woman who smokes is of
loose character. If that were true,
we would be in sad state morally,
because practically everybody does
it, from grandma up and down, and
it no more reflects on a Woman's
character than it does on mans.
OF course, there are women who
object to smoking just as strenuously
as your friends husband does, and
who nag their husbands about it.
I have known men who were not al
Evening star., 1943-12-14

lowed to smoke In their own houses
and who had to 60 out and sit on
the back steps when they took q
few puffs at their pipe, and to listen
to sermon on the evils of tobacco
when they were finally allowed to
return to their firesides after having
taken brisk walk to get the 'horrid
smell out of their clothes.
But have never known a happy
household In which the husband was
not permitted to smoke if he wanted
to. The truth is that dearer to us
than any human affection are our
pet habits, and any one interferes
with them at his or her peril.
So the solution to this problem de-
pends upon the husband and wife
using little common sense and
fairness in dealing with each other.
Let them accord each other a right
to their little ways. Surely keeping
a home together is worth the price
of a cigarette.

No doubt you have promised to
have your picture taken so he can
carry it with him wherever Uncle
Sam dictates. You want to be as
lovely as possible in that photo
graph; and he wants you to be
lovely, too, so a little professional
cheating with makeup is quite in
order.
Cover girls, models and screen
actresses resort to several little
tricks of makeup which you can
use. The most important of these
is panchromatic complexion tint
which is special, warm brown
shade which is used all over the
face and the exposed skin of the
neck. 1t is applied like any ordi-
nary foundation tint, but for a
good smoothing job, a professional
actress uses moistened flngertips.
Lip rouge of this panchromatic
makeup is toned. too. Your
own dark red lipstick would come
out black in the photograph and
some of your lighter hues would
not show at all.
Naturally you powder your face
with the same shade as the tint
you used and brush away the sur
plus. Then you paint on your lip
color with a brush and a steady
hand. 1t is safest to follow your
natural lip outline if you are very
young; If you are mature you can
cheat a little and paint on a new
curve or SO!
Brows are brushed evenly 1--WE
surmise they are free of straggler
hairs and accented with the very
sharp point of brow pencil.
Heaviest near the nose-lighter at
the end of the arch.
And vaseline plays its part, too,
in making your face sparkle! Brush
on bit of vaseline over your broWs
after darkening them: apply it to
your eyelids, and just before the
photographer is ready to shoot, you
can put speck over your lipstick.
Just a speck remember, for the
heat of the lights melts it.

Use of Soap Scraps
Thrifty homemakers

Thrifty homemakers can kill two
birds with one stone when they do
their house cleaning this fall. They
can do the necessary sprucing up Of
walls, woodwork and painted furni-
ture and at the same time save on
soap by using all the odds and ends
of soap that might be wasted other
wise. These remnants are perfect
for making soap jelly. The jelly can
be used "as is' for washing surfaces
that can take water. or it can be
whipped to froth with an egg beat
er for use as dry suds" in cleaning
upholstery, rugs and other fabrics
that cannot be put into the washtub.
To make a good soap jelly of the
scraps, use five cups of water to every
half cup of soap. If thinner jelly
is preferred, the amount of water
can be increased. Jelly left over
after house cleaning can be saved in
a covered jar and used as need
arises.

Merry Christmas Clues
TO AIM FOR HER HEART

TO AIM FOR HER HEARTH
you're aiming for her heart, there's
a cologne that's sure to hit the mark.
It's a spicy scent, quite heavy and
definitely Big Evening in its excite
ment, although it's not so heavy 1t
couldn't double for daytime. In
other words, she'll wear 1t any time,
anywhere, and love 1t. 1t bears the
name Of famous millinery team
and the bottle does justice to their
fame. It's honey-plain glass
with shining gold arrow running
round and round, giving the effect
Of a gold stripe. There's a pretty
bow-with rosebud-round the neck
and, all in all, the effect Is one on
which you can't go wrong.
DE LUKE GIFT FOR A LADY
Is she perfect to her fingertips? Her
hair soft and cleaning? Her skin
young and radiant? Do men love
her--and women think her a men,
ace? 1n nice way, of course. }
Then give her a perfume to match
her perfection, that will leave a trail
of fragrance as arresting as she is
There's one that carries with it the
subtle suggestion of island flowers,
that's as sweet and haunting as a
love song strummed on a guitar
The package in itself makes a pretty
enough present-all lace and satin
and turquoise ribbon bows - and
she'll use it for handkerchief box
long after the perfume Is gone.
FINGER FIXINGS Rare find
these days-and sure of a hearty
welcome Is plaid cloth case with
a brace Of nail fixer-uppers. It's
complete with emory board and
orange wood stick. This may not
look like much of a gift to you men
but take our word for it, she'll love
you for 1t.

Have your hair set the day you
get your photograph taken. Have

not wear hat to the photographers

For the lady whose Christmas

the cactus like a stepchild and
set 1t out anywhere in the yard
on the north side of the house out
of the hot summer sun and forget
it till it's time to bring her plants
in, in the fall. Then give it some
more fresh earth, water it well
and set 1t in sunny window.
Don't exclude sun entirely from
1t during summer, but do not water
it. Let the elements do that.
I found out this treatment by ac-
cident. Mine wouldn't bloom, so
I tossed it out under the grape
arbor and forget it. Next fall 1t
looked so forlorn I took pity on
it and gave it the treatment I pre-
scribed and it bloomed and has
ever since.

BUTTER CAKES:
CACTUS.
(Thanks to Mrs. A. X. S.,

Recently there have been requests
for the recipe for butter cakes, and
also regarding the care of Christ
mas cactus plants. The butter cake
recipe is: One quart of flour. l
teaspoon salt, teaspoons baking
powder and 3 tablespoons butter.
Mix to soft dough with milk and
roll out three-quarters inch thick.
Cut in round cakes and place on
moderately hot griddle, creased.
When cooked pale brown, turn
and brown the other side. Take
from griddle and serve hot.
We have found that the best way
to make a Christmas cactus bloom
and thrive is to plant it in leafmold.
Every spring we go to a woods and
gather supply of leafmold and
use it for all our potted plants
with no other dirt. All our plants
do exceptionally well as a result.

MILDEWED SHOES.

(Thdnks to A. P, Washington
Your correspondent in a recent is
sue of The Star can restore to some
extent the shoes her husband left
in the basement by dressing" them
with saddle soap. While they are
damp, pour about a teaspoon Of
castor oil into the palm OF the hand
and spread it on each shoe. Don't
bother to rub it in, it isn't necessary.
Put a shoe tree in each shoe and
set it aside until tomorrow morning.
You will find that the thirsty leath-
er has absorbed the castor OIL An
other oil treatment may be neces-
sary. They can be polished just as
If no oil had been applied to them.
I give this treatment to every
