Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: How do you think
you would feel If you were married
to g. widower and had been frankly
told by him that he did not love
you as deeply as he did his first
wife? I adore him, and one day
during conversation l remarked /:
Il wish you loved me as much as
you did her." and he replied: THAT
Is asking a lot. / loved with her
for nineteen years and she was a
part of me-" These words stabbed
me to the heart and killed all the
JOY and happiness had in my mar
riage.
keep busy making a comfortable
home, but I feel that I am not q
wife. I am just my husband s
housekeeper. He never tells me
that he loves me, or shows me any
affection. We live together as two
friends would, but my nature Graves
more than friendship from my hus-
band. What would you do under
the circumstances?
MISERABLE.
Answer-Well, If I had married g.
widower who told me fiat out that
he didn't love me as deeply as he
did his first wife, would think that
I was united to the dumbest man
who ever lived. I can't imagine any
man being married to a woman for
nineteen years without getting
some inkling of feminine psychology
and finding out that every second
wife who loves her husband is jeal-
GUS of his first wife, and that 1t
behooves a widower when he takes
on Number Two to watch his speech
when he talks of Number One and
not make her his favorite topic of
conversation.
Yet there are men who are stupid
enough to do this and who, without
realizing that they are putting their
second wives through the tortures OF
the Inquisition, are forever throw
| ing their first wives in their faces.
They discourse about how the dear
departed did this and did that, and
how she could run q house without
money and conjure good meals out
of the air, and how she never wanted
to go anywhere, but just to stay at
home, and SO on and so forth, until
the wonder is that the present en-
cumbent Of their hearts and homes
doesn't rise up and smite them with
the coffee pot, or take the carving
knife to them.
OF course, a second wife realizes
that her husband gave his first wife
something that he can never give
her. She had the freshness of his
youth, and the romantic ardor that
once gone can never be revived. For
Number Two there can never be the
circling wings and trails Of glory
that belong to young love. But her
husband can give her q love that
may not have any sentimental
fringes on it, but that is likely
to be far deeper and tenderer
and more enduring than his
boyish fancies. For the halo of the
first marriage didn't last, and when

equally well with both suburban
overalls and more urban town
suits.
SHORT $40 THE POINT
There are shorts, too, to add to the
checkered career of the gingham
blouse. We call them dirndl shorts
because they're cut with enough
fullness to look like a short dirndl
skirt. and enough fullness, too, to
do nicely for spring bicycling as we
have indicated In the small sketch.
OF course, for those who wear
shorts, cotton gabardines are as
classic and as necessary as a basic
dress in your wardrobe. One of the
best buys on these are some straight
slim ones that come in both navy
blue and tennis white.
THREE WAYS TO CHIC-It's
easy enough to find a white rufied
blouse, but we've found one that
can be worn three different ways.
It's that nice white balloon cloth
designed with a narrow self-ruch-
ing around its collarless neck and
running down the front. One, you
wear it open with ruffled revers;
two, do away with the revers and
wear it high and round-necked;
three, pin the two sides together for
a tiny double frill. It could be the
alter ego for the drawstring blouse
and make a knockout twosome with
the black skirt sketched above-or
any skirt, for that matter, in your
wardrobe.

Comdr c OF the Navy has very
kindly sent me the following in
formation for the many readers Of
this column who have asked me
to explain how sponsors for ships
are chosen:
"The Secretary of the Navy des-
ignates the sponsors for naval YES
sells In accordance with naval Gus
toms and tradition. In the case of a
battleship the Governor of the State
for which 1t is named is usually ex-
tended an invitation to nominate a
lady to christen the ship. The
Mayor of city for which a cruiser
is named likewise is customarily ex-
tended an invitation to nominate
the sponsor. Generally, aircraft car
riers are sponsored by the wives of
naval personnel long associated
with aviation, and submarines by
the wives of personnel long asso-
ciated with the submarine service.
The sponsors for vessels named
for personnel are chosen from
among the female relatives of the
person whose name is honored.
When practicable, the closest fe-
male relative is designated.
I'm a number of instances moth
ers of sons in the armed forces have
been designated as sponsors for va
rious types of naval vessels.

nate sponsors for some of the YES
sells building within their districts
and to consider, among others, the
wives and daughters of shipyard
personnel who have been outstand-
ingly active in promoting the wal
effort by speeding the construction
of these vessels.
Since 1923 only female sponsors
have been selected to christen ma
val vessels. This is an olo and ven-
Grated tradition of the sea, and the
Navy, therefore, follows this estab-
liShed custom.
The Maritime Commission now

Cleaning Oil Paintings: The prop
er method Of cleaning oil paintings
is difficult to describe as there are
no hard and fast rules. Experience
is necessary in order to know the
right treatment for the effects of
time on oil paintings.
However, If the painting is in ex-
cellent condition, l. e., without cracks
or holes, it Is safe to wash it with
ivory soap and luke-warm water.
Take silk sponge, wet 1t and
squeeze out as much water as pos
sible, rub it on the cake of soap
and then rub the soapy sponge on
the painting. DO only small part
at a time, about a foot square. Wash
the soap OF with a damp sponge,
damp but not dripping wet. Then
dry with soft cloth. Continue in
this way until the whole painting
has been washed. If sufficiently
clean, let 1t dry for a few days and
then varnish with Picture Mastic
varnish as directed on the bottle
(this can be obtained from any
artists supply store). Never var
nish on a rainy or muggy day.
In case the painting is covered
with dirty varnish, 1t can be re-
moved with a solution of one part
of turpentine to three parts of al
cohol. While using shake fire.

I'm connection with sponsors for

for the shipyard officials to invite

The duties of a maid or matron

while she christens the ship. Only
a few yards follow the practice of
having attendants, as nowadays
ceremonies are quite simple except
on special occasions-such as the
launching of the Carole Lombard

the Treasury Department as a

that she lost her life while return

We enjoy our "pinup" boards so
much we decided to pass the idea on
to you. We think they are the per-
feet solution, wherever you wish to
enjoy, a wall decoration keyed to
your own personal interests, for q
limited time.
The Woman's Page Office likes the
bright note of color they add to large
wall spaces, and they keep before our
eyes the things which interest us.
One Of them Is used for newest FASH
ions and inspiring color arrange
ments. Another shows new and diff
ferent furniture arrangements and
interior decorating features. An
other goes in for table decorations
one week and the next shows lovely
gardens, or any special feature
which takes our fancy. The large
one, shown In the illustration, has
no restrictions as to subject, but
features a collection of single items,
each one with some claim to beauty,
whimsy, color or composition.
Our pinups are easy to do. They
are nothing but piece Of wall
board cut to the current size and
framed with q simple molding. The
wallboard is painted to match the
wall--in OUR case q light gray
green. The frame is painted q rosy,
old brick red, which Is the exact
color Of the background Of the ORR
entail rug on our floor. Strange to
relate, we have as yet found no
color which does not blend perfectly
with these two shades. possibly
because they are grayed enough to
make a good background.
The magazines are full of beauti-
full color photographs and illustra-
tions. Most Of us enjoy looking at
these things, though we may fully
realize that we would get tired OF
them for full-time wall decoration
The pinning board is the ideal solu-
ton. Neatly cut out and pinned UP
with thumb tacks, these colorful
items can give joy for a season and
then make way for new collection

CLEANING AND PRESERVING
OIL PAINTINGS.
Thanks to Mr.. r. p. Toln1dn, Acting
Director, Smithsonian Institution,
National Collection of Fine Arts J
The oil used in painting a picture
is a drying oil. BY drying oil" is
meant an oil like linseed or poppy
which becomes hard by oxidation. 1t
takes many months for thick layer
of paint to become thoroughly oxi-
died, which is the reason why 1t
should not be vanished under six
months. A thoroughly oxidized
painting should never be oiled out
with poppy, linseed or olive oil. The
latter is nondrying oil and gets
rancid and collects dust constantly.
Poppy oil or other drying oil, al
ways turns dark and as it is Of the
same material as the original paint
| it presents very difficult job to
remove it.
An oil painting that is dry should
be vanished with picture varnish,
preferably a soft one like Picture
MaStic varniSh," which, when 1t
has turned brown, can be removed
with alcohol, which does not touch
oil paint.
If an old painting is in an un-
cracked condition, 1t is safe to wash
it with lukewarm water and soap.
Use very little water and then rinse.
This takes the superficial dirt of,
but does not touch the varnish.
Often this is all that is necessary,
after a few days the painting should
be revarnished with a picture var
nish on day when there is little
humidity in the air.

clogged with varnish and will take
up no more. Continue the opera
ton until the whole picture is suffi-
GENTLY clean. It is better to leave
a little Of the old varnish than to
clean it down to the paint. Great
care must be taken at all times and
especially when working over the
dark parts of the painting.
Pictures painted with a varnish
cannot be cleaned with the above
solution, as it will take off the pic
ture also.
A good idea is to get an old paint
ing from a secondhand store and
experiment on it.
