.. couldn't get my hands into
my pockets, and even if l could
have, l would have been unable to
give him a match for l didn't have

8. If l had had a match, why
shouldn't I give it to him?
1t would have beeu unfair to the
guy l bummed them from.
Al don't like to see ffteen-year-
olds smoking. l don't care if they
do have the permission of their
parents.
5. The kid didn't ask me for a
match. He was talking to a sixteen
year-old girl. So I didn't give him
a match.
For the next few blocks things
are rather uninteresting. Neverthe-
less, l kept my eyes open. saw
two elderly women racing four
young men for two vacant seats,
and a kindly disposed gentleman
who offered to hold the baby of a
young woman who was standing be-
side him. There it happened as it
always does. At least fifteen people
on the back platform, and the drunk
picks me to be the recipient Of slim
ulated and sage philosophy. He was
a liberal. He knew lots of colored
people! He knew SARAH and was
a little surprised that didn't know
her. There was no sense to anything
that the government was doing.
There was plenty of meat, plenty of
rubber, plenty of gas, but do you
know what is wrong?" l started to
reply that l didn't, and he cut me
short. Holding up four fingers he
said: There is three things wrong
with this country" The car stopped,
a comedy woman boarded. The drunk
stopped talking, and by the way he
surveyed the young woman, l knew
that she was not one Of the things
that was wrong. l shifted to the
opposite corner. The drunk appar-
emily didn't miss me. When l got
off at the next corner, observed
that he had someone else cornered.
This time he held up five fingers. I
knew then that there were four
things wrong with this country.
don't know why people pick on
me. Take the movies for an ex-
ample. I arrive early, thus l ana
able to have my choice of seats.
Carefully I choose one in an area
that l am certain no one else would
want. This is what happens: The
way people pass in front of me
you would think that I was seated
in the aisle. They use the section
in which l am seated as a bypass
until the other sections are filed.
This happens about the climax Of
the picture) and when every one
but me is seated comfortably, this
is my situation. Pm fanked on the
right by a box of popcorn and on
the left by a candy eater. The tall
lady in front of me has her hat on
and the jitterbug behind me keeps
knocking his knee on the back of
my seat, and when l come out my
best friend asks me: Did you like
the show" I can only reply: did
the HATFIELDS like the Nc
COYS?"
Any similarity between this col
umn and the theme l wrote in the
fifth grade is intentional. After all,

The Club de Teudi Dimes

The amateur male chefs, who dis
play their culinary prowess at each
Thursday get-together of the Club
de Jeudi, are agreed decidedly on
one thing. And that is that as far as
carving goes, the ordinary puddle
duck is downright ornery bird.
Still, with the meat situation be-
ing what it is and chicken apt to
get mighty monotonous, the host OF
last Thursdays dinner did not turn
UP his nose at the sight of three
plump ducks lying before him on the
poultry mans counter. He put out
his cash for those ducks in a hurry
and went home with them tucked
under his arm, very happy indeed
for he had hit upon the idea of serv-
ing "Salmi of Duck" as his piece de
resistance-and that solved the cary
ing problem!
He built up this menu to set off
his prize-and served it to a grati-
fed group Of guests:
Cream OF Mushroom Soup
With CroutonS
Saint OF Duck
Cottage Fried Potatoes Green Peas
Grapefruit and Watercress Salad
Hot Ginger Bread With Cream

Dear Miss Dix: I am woman %
years old and have been married
three years. Several months ago
nv husband left me and had to go
back to my mother, but now my hus-
band wants me to come back to hlm
He says he is sorry for his mistake
and that I am the only one he loves
or ever did love. He wants me to
forgive and forget and start all over
again, but my parents are opposed
to my going back to him. What
should l do? WORRIED.
Answer-Of course, this is mat
ter between YOU and your own heart
and one in which no stranger dare
Iintermeddle, but there are two
things which should guide you in
making your decision.
The first is, of course, your own
feeling toward your husband. Do
YOU love him well enough to forgive
him for the indignity he has put
upon you and the humiliation he
has made YOU suffer? 1t takes a lot
of affection TO make a woman able
to forget that her husband has not
cared how much he hurt her, nor
how much he shamed her.
Will his love make up to you for
the loss of your family, who have
been good to you, and who took you
in and gave you shelter when he
threw you out?
The other point to consider is
the character Of the man himself.
Is he weak, or is he strong? Is he
trustworthy or vacillating? Is he
the sort of a man who can stick to
a thing even if it is hard, or is he one
of the kind who are always chang
ing? Above all, is he a philanderer

Rainy~Day Wash
By Dorothy BihIman

The next time It rains on wash
day and you must dry clothes in
doors. take advantage Of an expert
ment that proved the time required
for drying can be shortened by as
much as three hours and forty
eight minutes. The only article nee
essary is an electric fan, SO don't
store yours away for the season.
Every one knows that air circula-
ton produced by q fan speeds
clothes-drying, but exactly where to
place the tan and how to regulate
1t to obtain best results Is something
else again. It's been proven that
you reduce drying time by two hours
and a little more, II the fan is placed
on the floor and kept oscillating. If
you want to save still another hour
and some Is minutes of precious
time, just follow these directions:
Place the fan on a table within 8
feet Of the nearest garment and
regulate it SO that it does not oscil-
late. It must face the end of the
Evening star., 1944-10-23

line, not the front-this allows the
air stream to circulate freely be-
tween the various garments.
Hang your clothes on a portable
type dryer II possible instead of a
wall-to-wall line; for this keeps
them more concentrated in front of
the ian. The best style is the folding
dryer that opens Like an umbrella.
There are several rows of line to
accommodate numerous pieces Of
laundry. There are a few Of these
on the market at present. However,
II this style is not available at the
time you want it, you might be in
terested in "zippo" line. This line
Is wound in a round plastic case
which you attach to the wall or
doorjamb. Across the room, at the
same height, place a hook screw. On
Washday, simply pull it across the
room and attach the ring to the
hook. Two of these will take care
OF a rather large wash.
Pressing such articles as house
frocks and mems shirts is an art
which too few people possess. Some
how it Is so easy to skip over the
shoulder tucks and pads and pos
sibly a curving seam just because
they are extremely difficult places in
which to work the nose" of the
iron. There is a gadget on the mar
ket now that should help the average
amateur presSer turn out an almost
professional job. It's an insulated
pressing mitt worn just like a regu-
lation mitt on your hand. Idea is
you can put your protected hand
into these 'hard-to-reach portions of
the garment and iron right over it
without burning yourself. We would
say this article is almost a must"
on your list of laundering essentials
and you'll find, too, that it helps
save precious minutes.
Try to know the fabrics you are
laundering. Especially for the IRON
ing angle. So much acetate rayon is
being used in war materials and this
fabric is injured seriously by a hot
iron. Some garments are labeled as
to fiber content, but we would sug-
gest testing unmarked rayons by
putting few drops of polish re-
mover on a scrap or small clipping
from an inside seam Acetate rayon
will dissolve and leave hole in the
test scrap. Always press it on the
wrong side, with just a warm iron.
You might iron through heavy tissue
paper or get one of those inexpen-
sive, chemically treated press cloths.
The latter also should be numbered
among laundering necessities.

Dorothy Dix Says

by nature, one of the men who al
ways have an eye for every fluttering
skirt? There are men who can
make a big mistake and profit by it.;
men who can learn lesson from ex-
perience, and other men who never
change, but who go on committing
the same old sins as long as they
live.
You should be able to judge to
which class your husband belongs
and whether he would be liable to
repeat his offense and 60 off and
leave you the next time he got bored
with matrimony. Unless you love
him so well that you feel that life
without him will be cinders, ashes
and dust; unless you feel assured
in your own mind that he has
enough manhood in him to live up
to the obligations of marriage, you
will be wise to stay as you are and
let we'll enough alone.

called for real effort.
Fortunately, they could be roasted
the evening before the dinner was
scheduled, which saved the host-chef
time and trouble when he had other
things on his mind. The ducks and
the pan drippings were set aside un-
til wanted, when the meat was re-
moved from the bones in neat strips
and bits put on a plate. The car
casses and the drippings were put
into a soup kettle, covered with some

The strained broth then was boiled

bits and pieces Of duck meat, to be
heated throughput not allowed to
boil. The meat was then taken out,
arranged on a serving platter and
the sauce poured over 1t. And what
a dish it turned out to be-one that
all husbands who hate to carve duck
would do well to teach their wives!
The grapefruit and watercress
salad was simple, but the flavor
sharp and refreshing following upon
the richness of the salmi. The dress
ing used was made with a minimum
of oil and mild wine vinegar-too
strongly favored a vinegar would
have destroyed the subtle pun
gency of the fruit and creSs.
AS for the piping hot gingerbread
that was quickly whipped up from
a package of the ''ready-mix" prod
uct-but achieved especial distinc-
ton because the cream accompany
ing 1t had been treated to a small
spoonful of rum just before serving.

2 eggs, well beaten; l cup nuts, l
pound gum drops Gall except black
ones, powdered sugar
Cream lard and sugar, add beaten
eggs, raisins, soda, -four sifted with
spices and salt, and last add gum
drops which have been rolled in
powdered sugar. Then nuts. Bake
IN slow open (275-300 degrees) for
~ hours. Leave in oven hours
or until quite firm. This makes a
rather large cake. Moisten with
brandy or wine. If desired. Pack
away with fruit to absorb flavors.
This is really delicious and easy
to make. A tablespoon of soda
seems like a lot, but it isn't an error;
that much is required. If a less
spicy cake is desired the spices may
be reduced in quantity.
