Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: For years before
I knew my husband he was deeply
in love with another woman, and he
still Is. This other woman is a
beautiful and brilliant professional
woman who is more interested in
her work than she ever would be in
any man. She is not in love with
my husband and has never been and
she refused to marry him many
times. 1t was during a fit of de-
|spondency after one of her refusals
that he married me, but I didn't
know that at the time.
He has honestly tried to forget
her, but she has become an obses-
sion with him. The situation does
not seem to be anybody's fault, but
it makes it pretty miserable for me.
Is there any solution for such q
problem? MISERABLE.
Answer-It is a very common
thing for both men and women,
who have been disappointed in love,
to- marry on the rebound some one
for whom they have no affection
whatever. Sometimes in rushing
into these marriages without love
they are actuated by a spirit Of
revenge. Sometimes it is hurt pride
that motivates them. Sometimes
they are lonely and crave compan-
ionship. Sometimes they have the
foolish idea that the cure for their
own wounded hearts Is the love of
some other woman or man.
But always it is selfish and a
dastardly thing to do, for 1t sacris
fees an innocent person to their
own ego. For marrying one person

of peplum pockets on q simple dress
or you might attach bows IN single
file down the side Of wrap-around
number to speak a pretty fashion
aside. Personally, we love the cool
look Of navy and white polka dots on
ribbon belt with white blouse and
navy skirt-with polka dot pom
poms repeating at either side OF q
smoothly coiffed head. Indeed. rib
bon can go to your head in many
pretty ways--one largish bow over
each ear with sleek center-parted
coiffure-or a series Of vari-colored
bows up part In the back OF your
pretty noggin.
We could 60 on and on pointing
out one OF our favorite theories that
any smart wardrobe-like wit
should be brief and to the point,
with your imagination and sense OF
humor providing the fun and the
fashion. See If you can't invest some
wit in your wardrobe-and buy
bonds with what you save!

when you love another does not
automatically work a cure in the
victims Of hopeless passions. 1t
does not make them forget. It does
not kill their longing for the un-
attainable he or she. On the con-
trary, just by reason of the natural
human impulse that makes us long
most for the things we can't have, it
increases the desire for them, and
makes even an ordinary and COM
monplace man or woman become a
romantic dream that exists for q
lifetime.
There is no solution for the prob
lem of the merely tolerated hus-
bands and wives who have been
Iruthlessly offered up on the altar Of
their mates blighted love affairs,
unless they are great lovers them
selves who can find happiness in
establishing a friendship with their
wives or husbands, and who can feed
their hungry hearts on the few
crumbs Of affection that are thrown
to them. Sometimes a half loaf is
better than no bread at all.

my furniture has Just been
remoped from storage tD1lere it

What can do at home to make

The blush Aim is probably dust
settled in the wax or oil with which
you polished the furniture before
you put it away. A good bath and
rundown will restore the finish. Use
luke-warm water with little mild
soap and a tablespoon of turpentine
to each gallon Of water. Wash a

use a good furniture polish of wax

usually caused by drying Of the

sibly due to inferior varnish. You

uses to those long dinner dresses
that have been hanging In your
closet 10! these many months. One
of the prettiest girls we know ap-
,peared at dinner recently wearing a
smart sleeveless green dress with
one full-blown rose at the waist,
another a-bloom on her polished
tresses. While the other women
were secretly envying her new
short dinner gown, our eagle eye
recognized it as dinner dress Of
two years ago-less about 10 inches
of length.
A scarf can be very versatile In
turning a neat wardrobe trick. One
can double as a sash around your
waist or make an attractive bandeau
for your new smooth coiffure. One
giant chiffon square can also make a
halter overblouse If you knot the two
ends at the back of the neck,
bringing the opposite ends around
the waist-this a possibility with
a crepe skirt. A bright cotton
number, on the other hand, makes
a fine coverup with shorts for
beach or backyard sunning-and
when not engaged in such camou-
flage job, can make brilliant ban
danna sash for pastel or white
cotton dress. Buy big enough
beautiful print square-and the pos
sibilities are limitless. In addition to
wearing 1t as a halter, you can twist
it into a turban or tie 1t sarong
fashion into new-looking play
shorts, or fold 1t in half tying it in
two provocative bows on each hip.
ION this, 'twould be a good idea to
figure out a nonslip bow. Get your
sea-going boy friend to give you a
lesson in knotsD
You can plot gooo wardrobe
schemes with ribbon, too. A plain
black or white dress will respond
beautifully to a ribbon sash-one OF
moss green, for instance, topped of
with one large flower always looks
pretty and summery. Or you might
sew ribbon into sash and hustle
bow for new back interest on an old
print dress. You might also try
-colored bows for buttons on a
white blouse-perhaps in the colors
OF the print skirt with which you
wear the blouse. Loops at each side

Wardrobe Witticisrns

"Buy more than before" is the
slogan of the Fifth War Loan. From
what we've heard in powder rooms
and other dens of distaff chit chat,
we Judge that for many women
the big problem in trying to squeeze
an extra bond out Of the budget is
one of clothes. I'D like to buy
more but I haven't a thing to
wear" runs one of the complaining
cliches. I'D like to buy more" "
says another, "but If I don't buy
something cool to wear, I'll have to
give up my job and stay home in
the bathtub."
We know that Washington sum-
mers require many cool, fresh
changes, but you'd be amazed at
how much you can do with what
you have, If you use little imag-
ination and a few props. Last
years print dress, for example,
which may have become discolored
down the back or under the arms
might very easily be turned into q
new-lo0king back dress. If
there's white in the print, add a
cool white jacket to camouf1age the
baroness for town wear. II the
top is worn beyond redemption, cut
1t off at the waistline, put the skirt
on band and you'll have the basis
for several smart skirt-and-shirt
combinations. This fashion, Incl
dentally, Is one of the cleverist ways
we know to beat the heat because
without too much strain on laun-
dering facilities you can have a
spandy-fresh top every day in the
week. In case we didn't make that
clear, our point is that no matter
how much of a novice you are in
the ways of an iron and board
you'll find you can probably do q
job on simple blouses-whereas
dresses would be quite another
thing.

After many years of unsuccessful

fit their home, but cannot shrink II
1t is too small. I always feel that
a 5-eallon container is best and
should be the smallest used. You
need plenty of water surface, as the
water absorbs some oxygen. The
fish give OF carbon dioxide and the
plants live on that, thus giving Oh
oxygen for the fish completing
cycle.
Snails clean the plants. so they
can breathe, and live on fish re-
fuse. so they are necessary to COM
plete the healthy life of this little
world. Sand is needed Tor root
ing the plants, and for the fish
to cleanse their gills on. Both loose
floating plants and rooted plants
form the best oxygen generators.
I find scraped cutie bone and
hardened plaster of paris necessary
to keep the water balanced and
snails healthy. About 10 snails are
about right for gallons OF water.
I never change the water, just add
to it. All water should stand at
room temperature for about "a
hours or more before adding to con-
tainer.
Plants can't start generating oxy-
gen until they are acclimated, which
takes a few days. In bowl the fish
never get any use Of that because
the water has to be changed so
often the plants only give them
green food to browse on.
I have 5 small assorted goldfish
in a 5-gallon aquarium. This
spring a baby fish appeared and Is
growing fine. This little world was
set up in May, year ago, and
hasn't had a thing done to 1t, ex-
cept dirt cleaned from the top OF
the sand with siphon.

BABY BIRDS.
THANKS to Mrs. r. J. M,
Washington.)
In regard to Mrs. B. BIS request
on care for young birds, I will pass
on our experience in raising three
baby ROBINS. They were a few days
Matched when their nest was chop
ped down, and we kept them for
three weeks. We received willing
suggestions from the Smithsonian
Institute. Their diet consisted OF
tiny bits OF raw beef, mashed fresh
fruit, such as peaches, ETC., and
bread soaked in milk, also water. I
was advised to feed them a little at
a time, but often, and their schedule
was more demanding than baby's.
The three little dears awoke at day
break and squawked their heads oil
for their morning feast, then every
hour through the day until dusk,
came additional morsels.
The birds got so tame and used
to me one would fly to my shoulder
to be fed first, but each took their
turn on meat, fruit and water.
Be careful not to overfeed and
thus gorge their crops. They were
fed with q medicine dropper, the
tid-bits being held on the tip by
only a slight suction, SO that as
the end air would not be
forced into their crops. The food
has to be gently forced well down
their throats, or out it will come
again.
Please do not try to clip the wings
as I did when they become older.
clipped one so close it bled, and
the wing and plumage
can become deformed.
The birds temporary home con-
sisted of a cardboard carton, the
bottom and two sides left intact.
The remaining two sides were cut
out and window screening replaced
these, and formed a top also. This
gave them plenty of light, air and
visibility. A small branch was put
in the box as a roost about 3 inches
from the bottom and forced through
the cardboard sides.

In your column Of June Is some
one asked why her goldfish died
The answer is obvious; she doesn't
change the water often enough. In
order to keep the water fresh
enough and filled with oxygen, the
water should be changed every day,
not once a week. If water plants
are depended upon to supply oxy-
gen for a week, they would have to
be packed in the bowl SO tightly
that the fish would have no free
dom. I keep my two fish in a me-

MAN-POWER AT HOME?
TWO SUGGESTIONS.
(Thanks to Mrs. J. L. M,

WdSHtHgtOH.J
am glad that have no urgent
pleas for aid at this time! If I ever
do have, I know your wonderful
readers will help me.
My present inquiry concerns the
men in our homes What is theil
position and how much should they
contribute to the housework? Those
who work during the day have
long evenings off-sometimeS from
6 on, when they've finished dinner
According to the sun, this is only
5, and there are four good hours OF
daylight. Others go to work at )
or pm. They get home at II or
~ pm, sleep their hours and
still have nearly whole day of
until they have to report to work
It seems to me these long hours
Of leisure should be used nrof-
itably. What do you readers ex-
pect of your husbands? Do you
expect that they help with the gen.
eral housework - or only heavy
and unusual jobs that occur at
spring and fall housecleaning? Or
do you expect them to help at Red
Cross or volunteer at the hospital?
Some of them I know give time to
civilian defense with the AFRAID
warden extra duties and jobs.
In my experience I've heard SO
many times from men, Il have my
job. I work hard at the office. I
have to relax when I come home" !"
That's true. But we women work
hard all day, too-have no help
do all our own work. Yet we find
time to do parent-teacher work,
knit for the Red Cross, do all the
shopping for the family and occa-
sionally have to entertain our hus-
bands friends.
So that's my problem. Since the
woman has so much to do with
her war-torn nerves besides) toward
keeping the children healthy and
happy, the home livable and her
husband interested enough to stay
at home, WHAT is the job of the
man besides just going downtown to
his Office for 8 hours a day? Or
what does YOUR MAN do to help
you or help the war effort?
Now that is off my chest, here
are two suggestions:
One is in defense of the ready
mixes one can get these days, for
desserts, such as puddings and pie
filings. pastry mix for pies, cake
and biscuit mixes. When we're all
50 busy, these mixes save lot of
time and they're good products, too.
Another: On wash day save some
of your bleach water. Pour it into
your scrub bucket, then add warm
water and soap powder or fakes.
This makes wonderful cleanser
for your bathroom and kitchen
floors and fixtures. 1t cleans, de-
odorizes and disinfects at the same
time.

butts, and grenades Thursday as

The final hand-to-h stage.
On the northwest front, Soviet

Baltic, in pursuit of fleeing Ger
man units. The enemy appeared
to be in full retreat through the
forests and lake country. g.
Close-quarter fighting developed
in the Cherkasi pocket in the CEN

less tightening of their ring of en-

remnants of freedom to maneuver
and forced them to stand almost
back to back in fighting off Rus
sian attacks from all sides.
More than $500 Germans were
killed Wednesday in what may
have been their last large-scale
attempt to break through to their
main forces in the south.
Though the Russians threw back
a new rescue attempt. this time
from the southeast, yesterday
