DOr0thy:Dix SAYS

Dear Miss Dix: Why is it that
just can't hit it off with a group of
women? I am matron 30-odd,
have had good education, have
been successful business woman as
well as home-maker I can sit in
with so men and pass orders on to
them, have their admiration and re-
spect and be treated as pal or as a
mother, but put me with five strange
women and I can't even thaw them
out. am simply not liked by women,
yet want women friends. But, no
matter how hard try, no CO. 1 don't
go over Maybe it is because I am
too darn frank. I tell them exactly
what think. E. F. U.
Answer:You have diagnosed your
trouble yourself when you say you
think that the reason you are not
popular with women is because you
are ito darn frank" and that you
tell them exactly what you think of
them. No person who does that is
ever popular with either sex, because
men are just as allergic to the truth
about themselves as women are.
A mistake that practically all peo-
pie make who pride themselves upon
always speaking the truth and being
perfectly frank is that they tell so
many unnecessary truths that hurt,
and say so many unkind things that
would be far better left unsaid. A
young girl said to me not long ago
that she felt like hypocrite if she
kent silent when she differed with
my one, or failed to express her opin-
ion, but she was wrong in that. You
don't have to argue with people un-
less moral issue is involved.

Shopping Around
By Dorothy BihIman

JUST THE WRITE GIFT-If
your Army uniform overseas re-
quests as much stationery as ours,
you can bet he'd appreciate nice
case with paper and envelopes for
Christmas. The saddle goatskin
case can be used very handily as a
writing board and the whole thing
can be stuffed into that overcroWded
barracks bag.
BEAUTY AIDS" FOR HIM
When you pack that gift box you
might tuck in one or two toilet
preparations that win make him
feel a bit luxurious. After all they
do on occasions have relaxation
periods somewhere behind the lines
and those are the days he'll go to
work with nonperfumed-lotio or
cream. These will prove a blessing
to the skin suffering from exposure
to icy winds, mud, salt spray or
blazing sun. There's a shaw stick,
too, that is richly emollient and
will do wonders in eliminating the
discomfort of shaving off several
days growth of whiskers. A triple
milled soap comes in mighty handy
for the rare luxury of real bath.

OKRA?
REQUESTED BY Mr.. J. F. H.,

I am very fond of okra and fire.
quently buy can or glass container
of 1t in the store. I remove the
"gooey" liquid and boil it in clear
water for about S minutes before
eating 1t.
I put the remainder In q covered
glass container in my refrigerator
and when I use it the next evening
at dinner, I find that 1t is rapidly
changing in color to dark green.
If it lasts for 3 or 4 evening dinners,
1t is practically black.
Will some kind reader please tell
me what it is that I do wrong that
causes my okra to change its color
so rapidly? Though I am live

TOMATO PRESERVES?
REQUESTED by Mrs. W. c. s.,

I've seen several recipes for toma-

some lemon. However, would like
recipe that uses quite few
oranges and lemons. I have eaten
a delicious preserve that was thick

and now would appreciate recipe.

ones with the above ingredients. I

That little group Of amateur male
|chefs--the masculine halves Of the
eight couples that make up the menu
Dership Of the now well-known Club
de Jeudi-have been outdoing them
selves lately in elaborate and un-
usual dishes, gathered from near and
far. Their ever-loving and helpful
wives were also, at this point, get
ting little fed up on being called
upon to act as guinea pigs" when
dishes were tried out in advance.
So the host of the past weeks meet
ing decided to serve forth an old
favorite Of his as the main course
dish he well knew how to prepare,
and one that could largely bet set in
readiness the evening before - the
dinner.
The rest of the menu was simple,
but well chosen for contrast Of flavor,
color and texture-essential in
reaching the proper epicurean
heights. Here 1t was:
Clear Consomne With Avocado
Boned Breast Of Lamb, Sauce
d'Espa0ne
Baked Acorn Squash
Green Peas With Mint
Salad of Torn Lettuce and Ronatne,
French Dressing
Pineapple Halpes Filled With Shcrbet
Coffee.
The consomme, happily enough,
came out of q can, and was spiked"
with an extra bouillon cube or two,
or a bit of meat extract, salt and
pepper, and q dash Of lemon Juice.
Just before it was served, well-chilled
avocado balls-about two or three
each-were dropped in the plates.
The contrast between the tempera-
ture of the avocado and the hot
soup was surprising, and very appe-
tizing.
