DATING PROBLEM
RECIPE WANTED.
Thanks to Mrs. L. A. H.,
Washington
should like to submit the follow
Ing in response to Mrs. O. T., Wash
ington:
Mrs. o. T., you contradict your
self! You say you are not interested
in the least in your man friend, but
it is dull going alone or with other
girls. Are we to assume then that
you MUST have men around in
order to keep from being bored? Is
that why you married? If it Is, I
am sure there is no harm in going
with any number of men.
If, on the other hand. as Is prob
ably the case, you really love your
husband and he loves you perhaps
he has been away so long you have
partially forgotten the promises you
made in marrying him. For better.
for worse. Lady, this is worse" 1t
is not pleasant to sit in lonely
house night after night, of course
not. But neither is it pleasant to
sit in foxholes or ships bunks
Don't forget, you at least have
movies, city streets, shop windows,
parks, etc.. but has your husband?
II he Is in our country your
answer is simple. Why must you be
apart? I have spent two years liv-
ing In eastern coast towns waiting
| for the few days time the return
from each trip to sea would grant
us. I have learned to do without
many OF what formerly considered
necessities. I have lived in over
crowded rooming houses. dirty hotels
and tumble-down apartments, but
the hours we spent together have
more than made up to both of us
| for any inconvenience.
II your husband is overseas. why
do you find it so important to 20
out at night? Why not do some
thing for that husband of yours?
You can, you know. Have you done
any real postwar planning? Try
thinking up color schemes, room
| plans, etc. Then write your hus-
band about them. Help him to
think about the future more con-
cretely, too. You might even make
room models. Get group of girls
together doing this. Make scrap
book of your husbands letters to
you, keeping it like diary, with
mementoes, pictures, songs popular
at the time, etc. Get in some Red
Cross work. Make layettes for
Navy or Army relief For pure re-
Taxation, organize a real party.
with games grade-schoolers would
like you'd be surprised at the fun
you'd have relaxing and just being
sillyD. Any children in the neigh
borhood? Have a party for them.
Now, I have request for a wine
sauce which / have had with bar
eecued ham in restaurants. I would
also greatly appreciate suggestions
for other uses of wine in cooking.
