What do you think of my methods ?
A NOW CONTENTED WIFE.
Answer-I have been told that
even lion tanners disagree on
whether kindness or the whip is the
better way of breaking the spirits
and teaching the beasts to Jump
through hoop, and doubtless the
same problem as to which is the
better method applies to house
breaking husband.
But the catch in your recipe for
bringing a husband to heel and
making him realize what jewel he
has In his Maria is that it depends
upon his still being in love with her
although he doesn't give her any
indication of it. Such being the
case, it would be dangerous ex-
pertinent for Maria to undertake
unless she is a mind reader and
gifted with occult powers. For Il
she guessed wrong she would nc
doubt lose her husband and her
good home and shopping ticket

these days of the high cost of living

The kidney stew is served with

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I have succeeded
in changing a selfish, careless and
Indifferent husband into one who is
considerate, unselfish and one of the
easiest persons in the world to live
with. And I pass on this tip to other
wives.
There was time when went out
of my way to avoid doing anything
that might annoy my husband.
exerted myself to appease him in
every way. But nothing that I did
ever suited him. He always found
fault with me. So I quit trying to
please him and changed my tactics
I do what I please and no longer
cater to his desires and, strangely
enough, he is now trying to appease
me. Habits that have been trying
to break him of for years have dis
appeared. Certain things that
menaced our marriage have become
unimportant to him and he, him
self, states that the only thing that
means anything to him now Is his
marriage to me.
My experience has proved that
men are very contrary creatures.

is to be served the next evening, add
cup or more according to taste)
of good, dry red wine, piecing out
with a little hot water If too much
of the liquid has evaporated.
This is a stew-not a soup-but
there must be enough good gravy
to cake care of the waff1es.
Pepper and salt to taste are the
only seasonings required.
However, here are two additions
which may be used: About an hour
before serving the stew, add cup or
two of little pork sausages, cut in
half-inch lengths Just before serv-
ing, allowing only time to heat well,
half dozen hard-cooked eggs, cut
into cubes, may be added for nice
touch.
Now and then an epicure likes a
little more than the natural bite to
such a stew, so the addition of bit
of lemon juice is permissible, de-
pending upon taste.

Emily Post
Advises

Awareness of the first rule of good
manners, which is to show consid-
Grafton for the feelings of others,
would certainly seem to be lacking
by the writer Of this letter: Even
though l know a friend does not
like to be reminded of her birthday,
wouldn't it be good manners to send
her a birthday card anyway? 1t
doesn't seem fair of her to prevent
her friends from letting her know
of their thoughts?"
In answer to this I wonder if you
think that good manners are shown
to this friend by doing what you
know will displease her? There
are times, of course, when the best
intentions go amiss, but to delib-
erately ignore this friends feelings
as you propose to do is unthinkable
In other words, there is no question
of fairness to you, but of what will
Cor will not be- pleasing to her
If I were you I would forget her
birthday and send her a friendship
greeting card later on. 1t is not
necessary that an anniversary
prompt the sending of a greeting
Dear Mrs. Post: How far should
the married children go to welcome
fathers new wife? He and our
mother were divorced after many
years and we are siding with
neither. 1t was just one of those
things. However. we do not wish
to go further than necessary tc
welcome the new member of the
family for mothers sake) and yet
we do want to do what is right
(for fathers sake). None of us live
anywhere near them and it is not
likely that we shall meet often.
AnsWer-For your fathers sake
you should certainly write polite
notes of welcome to your new STEP
mother and if you possibly can send
them a present together. To hurt
the feelings of your father would
benefit no one-and might some day
cause YOU great regret

AS happens now and then with
the dinners of the Club de Jeudi,
the four couples who make up the
membership and who dine together
each Thursday night with a mascu-
line member acting as chef, there was
the little item of points-or rather
insufficient points Prospects for
an outstanding dinner were gloomy
indeed. And then, as has been the
case before, a purely scraped-up
dinner turned out to be one of
the best the club has served-and
we'll worth the attention of other
folks planning a company dinner

First aid for shirt ironers is the
trick Of dissolving q quarter of a
cake of a specially prepared wax
like product in each quart of a light
starch mixture. There are several
|of these waxlike products on the
market, some containing bluing to
give your starched clothes q cleaner
look and also providing a pleasant
fragrance as we'll.
This professional method of
making starch insures your iron
against pulling or sticking, without
the difficulty of rubbing smoothing
preparations on the iron, and you
are always sure Of satiny barid-
box finish. It's q time-saving trick,
too, because you can iron the shirts
before they are completely dry In
stead Of waiting TO dry them thor
oughly and sprinkling them.
Another trick that speeds I'D shirt
ironing is the one of q table top
instead Of an ironing board. The
wide working surface provided by
the table top eliminates the danger
Of dragging sleeves and makes for
less handling Of the shirts. An un-
vanished wood or metal table top
Is the ideal foundation. A pad
consisting Of several thicknesses of
felt or blanketing, covered with an
old sheet folded two or three times,
should be spread over the table.
For success In ironing shirts fol-
low the order given below:
l. Wrong side Of yoke and collar,
right side of yoke and collar, cuffs,
sleeves, back, wrong side of each
front edge, then right side of front.
Q. Iron along both sides of row
of buttons, then use point of iron
between buttons.
3. Give final touching up to
portions needing it and fold the
collar.
Another time saving technique is
to hang ironed shirts on hangers
instead of folding.
About II minutes per shirt is q
reasonable estimate for this rou-
tine. The sum total of 1t, however,
is a garment worth wearing-and
that may be worn twice as long
because of careful home care.
