Dorothy Dix Says

fession. Because, as you say, your
husband may not come back from
the war or he may come back
wounded and need time and care
and the comforts and ease of mind
that money brings to enable him to
recuperate, and it will save the sit
uation for you to be able to shoulder
the family support instead of being
a burden upon him.
One of the greatest drawbacks of
being a woman is that If she has
talent and ambition and has spent
years of hard work fitting herself
for a career, she nearly always has
to give it up when she marries. Mar
riage is an asset to a man If he
marries the right sort of wife, be-
cause she gives him the happiness
of love, the comforts of home and
draws about him the people who
are help in his climb up the lad
der. But when the woman with a
career marries she falls between the
stools of her work and her home,
and generally makes success of
neither.
And 1t can't be helped because no
woman can give all her time to her
husband and all of her time to her
career. And both demand it.

First of all remove all the paint
from the stained areas. For this
get trisodium phosphate, and use
about pounds to gallon of water.
Paint this on with dish mop, until
the paint softens and you can scrape
1T of. If you or your neighbors
have any aluminium paint, use that
as sealer before repainting with
white. If not, get one of the war
time substitutes for this. One of
the floor sealers would do very well.
When this has dried go ahead with
your white paint and you will have
no further trouble.

Lace Makes
News

We missed the lavender, but there
was plenty of lace to be seen on the
audience at the opening of the San
Carlos Opera Companys presenta-
ton of La Traviata" at the Ma
tional Theater. 1t wasn't the black
lace used on short black dinner
dresses that made the news, but
rather the lingerie lacy touches on
hats, blouses and the like. One at
tractive brunette, for example,
topped her simple black dress with
half hat made of rows and rows
of narrow lace. Another petite miss
wore a decorative platter of pleated
white net circling round center of
rosy straN-this to complement a
grey wool suit with frilly blouse.
Still another chapeau in the lacy
tradition was half hat of navy
blue lacy straw set off by spray of
lilies of the valley over one ear.
And there were several skull-fitting
calots made of lacy straw worn with
black and printed dresses.
For color notes, black with pink
was at the top of the scale. One
of the prettiest dresses seen at the
theater was a soft-shouldered black
dress with fattering v neckline,
completely bare of all trimming save
a spray of pink-to-rose flowers fall
ing from the waistline. A small
pink sailor banked with delicate
pink flowers completed this cos
tune. Several theatergoers chose
small background prints spattered
with pink flowers and usually &C
cented them with pink flower hats
or black straw calots or half hats
bedecked with pinks.
We noted more long dinner
dresses at this opening than at any
other first night at the National this
year. Mostly simple black dresses
with short sleeves and soft neck
lines, probably the smartest was a
Sleek-fitting affair of royal blue
coin dotted with white. Cut with
a square neckline and buttoned
down the front, this knitting
gown was accented by huge twin
dotted kerchief in red and white,
carried in the hand, streaking color
down the skirt as it fell. The wear
er's hair, polished to a lovely sheen,
was worn smooth on top with a
big chignon at the nape of her neck
This young lady was walking proof
of the close kindship between sleek
ness and chic. She was the last

my baby in the summer. My hus-
band is fighting overseas and he

quiring my profession and love my

but its place Is not on the street.
To keep pace with our overtime
busy existence, many of the newest
dresses are designed to lead double
lives. They combine bare backs
with business by having a jacket
or bolero for coverup. You may
have seen dresses of this type last
summer in sportswear, but now
you'll see them everywhere. Some
are such clever designs you could
easily wear them with their cover
ups to the Office while the bare back
beneath keeps you cucumber cool
and no one would ever suspect. But
no tricks, please. The Office is
no place for sun dresses, so don't
try it.

DINNERS FOR EIGHT.
(Thdnks to Mrs. w. o. w.,

In response to Mrs. G. w. Ms
request for a dinner for eight in
May IL issue:
I would suggest for meat a baked
ham Can be baked before and is
excellent sliced cold, or could be
reheated night of dinner. With it
serve candied sweet potatoes. Cook
and slice these and place in pan
ready with brown sugar and butter
beforehand and slip into oven for
candying while ham is heating.
For an appetizer our family and
guests like fruit cocktail. For a
pleasing variation drain off most
of juice, replace with ginger ale and
serve crackers spread with pimento
cheese. Radishes, celery, stuffed
olives can all be prepared the night
before. Grated carrots and crushed
pineapple in lemon gelatin make
a delicious salad and there are
any number of ice box desserts that
are all the better for standing "a
hours in the ice box. Or bake
cake and buy the ice cream. Men
especially like pies, blueberry or
fruit, which can be made before
and slipped into the oven for few
minutes to freshen up before serving.

REMOVING FORMULA STAIN?

have a pink shantung dress on
which I spilled some milk last fall
The milk was a babys formula,
canned milk, water and sugar. Since
then I have washed the dress twice,
but when I iron it the stain re-
appears.
Could some one suggest a method
for removing this stain? 1t covers
large portion of the skirt, and, since
the dress is practically new, hate
to discard It,
Incidentally, I sprinkled talcum
powder over the stain and left the
dress to hang in the closet for few
weeks. This method often takes out
other stains, but didn't affect the
milk.

esting and helpful. Please keep it

HERE'S A POSER, LADIES!
REQUESTED by Col. o. E. D.,

Of necessity. I am a student of
space and its use in the home and
the relation of logic thereto. In the
kitchen this means drawers for
what-nots and having the little lady
arrange novelties in order of need
so a man can find an opener in the
dark. if darkness there be. 1t reads
simple, but application becomes
complex. Women follow intuition,
not logic.
My major problem, however, is
with closets and chests of drawers.
One encounters voluminous space
filed with the little lady's old hats.
Conflict exists between mans few
necessities and woman's expansive
headgear. From whence come these
hats?
Charting women's shopping tours
indicates that 60 per cent of in
season trips to the metropolis results
in an upward trend inventory of
feminine headgear. An analysis OF
the trend shows strong intuitional
infiuence-caprice, not need, governs
requirement. The net result is an
increase of new, slightly new, worn,
and old feminine hats in the home
with less space to meet this whimsi-
cal oddity. The demand of smaller
home units with more and larger
closets is apparent.
l have started disposal chart,
but am encountering difficulty be-
cause the hats are never disposed
of, seemingly. 1t is a battling subject
this, replete with intangibles. Does
any one know what women do with
their old hats?

BAKING APPLES.
THANKS to Mrs. A. w. w.,

To Mrs. K. A. R.. who wants a
recipe for baking apples. can't
help wondering where she can get
apples to bake I haven't been able
to for some time. But, was given
recipe years ago by an old friend
and good cook. I have never seen
this method of fixing apples in print.
Recipe for baking medium sized
apples:
Remove the core, from the stem
end, not with an apple corer, but
with a little gadget sold for making
melon balls. Leave the bottom of
the apple uncut, so the filling will
not run out Now take q of cup
of sugar and stir into it one teaspoon
of cinnamon. Fill the cavities and
top with about level spoon full of
butter. Place in pan containing
about, half inch of water and bake
until apples are soft. A slow oven
is best, so the apples won't burst.

Gentlemen:
| want to take this opportunity
to say a word of appreciation for
the very splendid Rosh Hashono
issue of which you sent me a copy.
This is credit to you and your
community.
Naturally I am happy to see the
space given to the discussion of
the American Jewish Conference
and the attitude of the southern
delegates toward it. 1t is to me
encouraging to note that there is
such a unanimity of opinion a
mong the delegates in that they
feel that the scope of the Con-
ference should be broadened and
that all matters that pertain to
Jewish life should be included.
Once again let me tell you that
you have done a nice piece of
work in this issue.
Sincerely,
Mortimer May
