A woman said to me the other
day: "If you could choose just one
gift for its fairy godmother to drop
into your child's cradle, what would
you ask for?" To which I unhesi-
tatingly replied: "The ability to get
along with people, for that would do
more than any other one thing to
secure his happiness and make life
a pleasant journey instead Of hard
road to travel"
1t is strange thing that we put
so little stress upon whether we are
an emollient or an irritant to our
fellow creatures, yet practically the
whole of our well-being depends
upon whether We stroke their fur
the right way or step on their toes.
For, no matter what else one has, If
he has not love and friendship and
the good will Of others, he has moth
ing.
Think it over and you will be
amazed to realize how much the
ability to get along with other people
has to do with determining our sue
cesses or failures. Take marriage,
for instance, which does more than
anything else to make us either
happy or miserable; yet it is not love,
nor riches, nor the standardized vir-
tues that really make it a bit of
heaven or foretaste of hell.
> 1t is the ability of the husband and
wife to get along with each other.
A man may never drink, may never
look at another woman. may dress
his wife in mink coats and diamond
clips. A woman may be a noble,
Christian character, a frugal man
ager, a marvellous cook, but they
will be miserable together if they
continually are criticizing and find
ing fault with each other, and
neither one dares make a remark for
fear of starting a fight.
The only happy marriages are
those in which the husbands and
wives appease each other and step
high, wide and handsome around
each others little faults and foibles.
instead of barging into them. You
never heard of a couple who yes
yessed each other and paid each
other compliments who landed in
the divorce courts.
And in every line of human en-

Dorothy Dix Says

deavor, from running for presi-
dent to driving a garbage truck, the
success of the individual depends
more upon his ability to get along
with people than 1t does upon his
talents. For people will do things
for us because they like us that they
wouldn't do for us because we rated
it, to save our lives. When we see,
as we so often do, brilliant and
talented men and women who are
failures, we wonder why, but the
explanation is easy-they couldn't
get along with people. They made
enemies instead TO friends. They
antagonized where they should have
soothed. And people simply left
them alone to starve.
OF course, in its higher brackets,
being a mixer Is a gift, but it is
also an art that can be learned by
diligent study, and while the syn
thetic product may not have quite
the fine flavor of the original, it is
still valuable adjunct to any ones
personality. Any of us can learn
to get along with people If only we
will suppress our self1shneSs and
egotism and desire to boss the uni
verse, and if only we will learn
to respect their keep-off- f-the-grass
signs and not tread ruthlessly on all
Of their pet opinions.
And. believe me, nothing else pays
such dividends as getting along with
others.

Gifts of Beauty

GRAND GEsTURE-Here's just
the de luxe gift you want for that
girl on your double-starred list
the very, very last word in travel
kits. It's a real pigskin shoulder
strap bag. generously proportioned
and saddle stitched. It becomes
travel-worthy by virtue of a re-
movable leather panel to which are
attached all the fixings for a facial
and makeup. In the bag, the panel
stands upright, leaving plenty Of
room for nightgown, toothbrush
perhaps even a dressing gown. With
out the panel it's luxurious hand
bag that no one would ever suspect
of wanderlust. An extra outside
pocket on the back is a godsend to
those who are forever losing their
keys In a welter of miscellany; it
holds neatly and securely scratch
pads, timetables and the like. In
brown or black it's the big gift for
your super super girl-your No. 1
Christmas eve.

blend with the masculinity OF any
mans quarters, and you can spend
as much or as little as you want
working out combinations. However,
we checked and found that two big
favorites are the after shave lotion
and the soap, which you can buy
together. If you want to impress

GROUND BEEF AND STEAK.

Basic Hamburg (serves six)-Two
eggs, beaten a little with fork; Il
cup milk, / pound ground beef, 70
cup -four, seasoning, if desired. Mix
we'll in order named. If egg dis
agrees with you, add u teaspoonful
baking powder to flour, to keep the
mixture light.
Stewed-Drop above mixture by
teaspoonfuls into boiling vegetable
soup or stew, tomato juice, vegetable
juice, clear soup, or even salted wa
ter. Reduce heat to simmering,
cover and cook at least 40 minutes:
longer time will impart the meat
flavor to the broth If desired.
Or, drop onto very lightly creased
heavy skillet, cover with hot con-
densed tomato soup or pea soup,
cover with lid and simmer until
done. This last may also be baked,
uncovered in oven, at 400 degrees F.
Baked-To above mixture may be
added any or all Of the following,
according to taste: Chopped onions,
celery, green peppers, tomatoes.
Form into one or two loaves with
spoon Git is very soft mixture) or
small patties on a lightly creased
heavy skillet or baking PAN Add
water or tomato juice to the depth
OF half an inch, cover, and bake at
400 degree F. until nearly done, then
uncover to brown. (The time de-
pendS upon the size of your loaves
and patties, thickness of pan, etc., so
cannot accurately be stated here.)
Another variation for loaf is to
season with onion and a little sage
and thyme, or marjoram.
Hamburger Steak (serves four)-
One egg, beaten little with fork;
cup milk, pound beef, l cup faxed
cereal, seasoning. If desired, and
chopped onion.
Mix we'll in order named. Pat
into 1-inch steak on lightly
creased pie tin or cookie sheet.
Broil at 500 degrees F. IL to 20
minutes on each side, according to
preference as to how rare or we'll
done it is. A light sprinkle of salt
will keep it from taking fire.
1t occurs to me that the reason
many persons won't eat stew is that
it is often poorly made. If the fol-
lowing suggestions seem to you to
be helpful to some poor young
brides who are struggling with ra-
ton points, shall be glad to have
you use them.
Veal or Lamb Stew-The secret OF
good veal or lamb stew Is to re-
move all the outer skin, which has
a strong taste, and most of the fat.
Saute the meat until brown on all
sides, drop into boiling water to
cover, reduce heat, cover pan and
simmer several hours, according to
toughness.

STRETCHING CURTAINS.
THANKS to Mrs. II. T. S.,
WaShiu0ton.)

To the lady who wants to know
how to stretch marquisette curtains:
You don't know how lucky you are to
have them! I'd gladly store away my
rayon ones If knew where I could
buy some more of cotton marqui-
sette! All you need to stretch them
is a window wide enough to stretch
them out full width. Wash them
and starch them lightly, put on the
curtain rod at the window, and then
put another curtain rod in the bot
tom. Each curtain will dry in a
couple Of hours, more or less. I
stretch mine through the middle by
pulling with my hands occasionally
while they are drying, but this
doesn't help much until they are
nearly dry. When finished, you will
probably think they need pressing,
and you can do this if you have a
lot of extra time. I used to do it,
and then discovered that if 1 just
hung them up without pressing, in
a couple of days you couldn't tell
which had been pressed and which
hadn't, so now I never bother!
