Dorothy Dix Says

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: For 13
years I lived with a nagging hus-
band who made our home a place of
torment. He is now in the service
and for almost year and a half, l
have enjoyed heavenly peace and
have regained a good portion of my
confidence. The children are
different children since the nagging
has been removed and every one
comments on the progress they are
making.
I have written to my husband on
the average of twice a month to let
him know that tire children are we'll,
not that I think he cares, for he
refused to provide for them in any
way after he left. I have a good
job, but do not know how long
shall be able to hold 1t after the
war and, if I do lose it, whether l
shall be able to care for the chill
dren in the future. In the mean
time I am enjoying my freedom
from tyrant ruler. A WIFE.

plain material and cap Of figured
material, or both skirt and cap In
figured material, might be more de-
sirable.
Following are instructions on how
to make this slip cover:
Dust ruffie-Cut a piece Of sateen
lining 37x74'a inches and round the
corners to fit the bedding. This piece
fits between the boxspring and mat
tress and the ruffied skirt is attached
to it. For the skirt itself, use eight
pieces Of 50-inch floral chintz cut
II inches deep. Allow u inch for
the seam which attaches the skirt
to the lining and 21z inches for the
hem, so that the finished ruffle will
be IA inches deep. This requires
2hs yards of sateen and 4 yards of
floral chintz.
Cap-Cut the top 39x771a inches
OF plain -colored sailcloth or your
choice of material Cut two ends
l2x39 inches. Cut two sides 77hx12
Inches. Place the side edges to-
gether and scallop them. DO the
same with the ends. Sew the sides
and ends together and then line
them with sateen. Then attach the
top. Then cut piece of lining
39x77h inches to line the top, and
stitch 1t by hand to cover all the
seams. This requires AZ yards Of
sallcloth or plain material and AZ
yards of lining.
II cording is desired to edge the
scallops, another u yard of 50-inch
floral chintz will be needed.
Pillows measuring 18xl8 inches can
be covered by using strips left from
the cap. Ruffles to go around each
pillow should be cut in four pieces,
attached to the sides and then to
each other. This takes yards more
of floral chintz.

Answer-Well, it is comforting to
learn that the war cloud has silver
lining, even If 1t is only in patches.
But you are not only one for whom
it is providing a respite from af-
f1ictions almost too great to be borne
and who are relieved from their tor
mentors, at least, for the duration.
Many a man who has had his
nerves worn to frazzles and his spirit
crushed by a nagging wife has gone
rejoicing into the Army, feeling that
he would rather be sniped at by the
Japs than stabbed continually by
his wife's tongue.
And many disgruntled couple
bored with each other and fed up
with domesticity, who have been
on the vergs of divorce, have laid
their problems on the knees of the
god of war and decided to wait and
let separation clarity their feelings
toward each other.

Remove the binding along one

From my own experience, I can
add that blankets may be Joined
with a strip of blanket binding. Un-
fold binding so it is fiat with only
raw edges turned under, stitch one
edge of binding along one side OF
the blanket. Put another strip on

it more attractive and stronger

kets with the same color Of binding
In the regular way.
I recently found that the gummy
rubber on my dish drainer could be
removed by soaking the drainer fol-
short time in cleaning fluid. then
scraping the loosened pieces off with
pairing knife. Any small bits can
then be rubbed off with steel wool
dipped in the fluid or with a metal

deep enough to immerse the drainer

the other in bucket containing the

Have you or your readers any con-

Since the heat has come on in our

has become impractical. We would
