Dear Miss Dix: I am a girl is
years old. About two weeks ago I
wrote you telling you was 50 much
in love with boy that l couldn't
eat, sleep or think of anything but
him and I asked you how I could
get him. The next day in your col
umn you advised girls to cut out the
puppy love stuff and 60 around with
a lot of boys before they finally de-
cided which one they like best
Well, Miss Dix, I tried the plan.
And it worked In two weeks I have
been completely cured of my infatu-
alton for that boy. And just think
how awful it would have been if /
had married him. not knowing really
what I wanted in a husband, and in
two weeks to have lost my taste for
him THELMA,
Answer-Indeed, it would have
been awful, Thelma. Yet that is
what thousands of girls do and that
is why there are SO many divorces.
Girls and boys rush into marriage
on the impulse Of the moment just
because it is moonlight night and
they feel sentimental, or because
they have had one cocktail too
many. or because they have a pass
ing physical attraction for each
other, and almost before the ink is
dry on their wedding certificates
they are sorry for it.
Young people should take their
sentiment with reservations. They
shouldn't put too much faith in the
strength Of their love. They should
say to themselves, Yeah. I know
I'm crazy about Glare or Sam and
believe I will never love anybody
lelse, but I used to think 1 could
never get enough ice cream soda
and now I loathe the stuff. So I'll
just play around until I am grown
and see how feel about it then. -
Marriage is like everything else.
The bigger the stock you pick from,
the more apt you are to get what
you want. So, boys and girls, look
EN- all over before you make your
final choice. And take your time

Breakfast: Pablum. including

Lunch: Soup, bread and butter,
milk, ice cream or canned custard
Supper: Coddled egg, vegetable,
mashed potatoes, fruit, milk
Baby food and canned milk are
ohtalnable throughout the country,
although 'brapds' vary. l used one
small can of milk per meal and
elternated canned fruits and vege-

be on the safe side.
If your baby is still on a bottle
sou can make a wire holder to hook
onto car heater and warm bottle. I

each morning had it refilled with

When it is nap time small blan-

inch space left uncovered at the

the baby. Autobeds can be easily
folded up fiat and put aside If you
need more room in the car when
baby is awake. They also convert
into car seats for baby.
If possible start out with a change
of clothes for every day and wash
them after you arrive. Very few
baby clothes will dry overnight.
Whenever you stop, even for a
minute 10 get gas, etc, take the
baby out and walk him around.

ONION SOUP.
(Thanks to Mrs. E. H. S.,

For Mrs. D. B. an onion soup:
There are many slight variations
on authentic French onion soup.
My favorite is the de luxe version
onion soup au gratin: A good beef
stock or bouillon is used as base
Canned may be used If you don't
wish to prepare it YOURSELF. First
saute halved or quartered thin
onion rings in butter in an ordinary
saucepan until light yellow and
transparent (don't brown. Then
add the beef stock and simmer
about q of an hour to one hour.
Test for proper seasoning and pour
in casserole or individual casseroles
of ovenware pottery. Top with
rounds Of lightly toasted, buttered
French bread. Sprinkle literally
with Parmesan cheese and grill in
oven. Some like the cheese in the
soup as we'll as on the rounds of
bread.
