the welfare of the National Capital
community.
A percentage insist that first
things come first with dessert served
last. A community conscience is
clearer if the yard is raked before
the community solves an interna-
tional crisis, it is said. Opinion
grows that as with nations SO with
individuals. Others, they say, will
respect you more if your house is
in order than if you make great
show and then bring them home
and they trip on the broken stairs.
Accordingly, many persons assert
that Washington women must wake
up, look around and see where and
how they can help in practical
way, and then, if they wish, venture
forth down the more attractive
corridors of Washington intrigue.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Dorothy Dix: Wives are al
ways complaining about their hus-
bands not being willing to take
them out stepping at night, and
they sniff at the mems alibi that
they are tired after a hard days
work and want to rest their feet.
What about the other side Of the
picture, the wives who complain
that they are too tired to go any
where in the evening when the hus-
bands suggest that they go out for
dinner, or dancing, or to a show,
and yet who are not willing for their
husbands to go out with the boys?
Believe me, lady, there are plenty
of us with wives who won't go with
us, or let us go without them.
A MERE HUSBAND.
Answer-That all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy and
Jacqueline a peevish and fretful
girl is one of the incontrovertible
facts of marriage. Both husbands
and wives who labor hard at their
different occupations, who have
many cares and worries and anx-
ieties, need to get away from home
now and then and go where there
is light and music and laughter;
where they will see new people and
hear new things and get something
else to think about except that
marriage is a hard road to travel.
All husbands and wives know this
and yet the amusement problem Is
one with which they seem unable
to cope. Sometimes it is the hus-

band who never wants to go out
in the evenings because he is tired
and who forgets that his wife ha.
had just as hard a day as he hae
and, perhaps, a more nerve-wearins
one doing the endless, monotonou.
chores of cooking and sweeping ano
listening to the baby yowl and the
children squabble, and who needs
to get away from it all for an houl
or two. But her husband wonr
take her anywhere, and so she stews
along in her bitter discomfort, anc
finds what diversion she can in
nagging.
Just as often it Is the husband
who has troubles he would also
like to forget by going to see a
funny play, or spending the eve
ming with some jolly men friends
but his wife won't let him.
So what are the poor things to
do? I would say to meet the situa-
ton with some common sense. In
stead of quarreling over the going
or not going problem, make a
schedule for evenings out either to-
gether or separately. Let Friend
Husband take Maria stepping once
or twice week as her due, and lei
Maria give her husband his eve
ming of with the boys, or else put
on her best dress and go out with
him.
1t would save many a divorce Il
husbands and wives would recog.
nize each others right to a little
entertainment.

time to extend this type Of protec.
ton through the rest Of the house.
A quality wax (most of those on
display today come under this
category Is no longer the prirni-
tive beeswax paste. Instead It now
contains q harder wax base and
also some hidden cleaning ingredi-
ents. That is why delicate ma
terials such as leather parchment
and even paintings can be safe
guarded by a good application.
In the case Of leather a liquid
wax Is advised. Apply with a
soft cloth and watch finger marks
and smudges disappear. This will
keep the leather from cracking and
will bring out the sparkle Of the
gilt. Go easy on the amount used
and apply with a gentle touch.
Brass, copper and pewter pieces
will stay free from tarnish for a
longer length of time If you give
them good coat occasionally. Your
fireplace equipment is included in
this. However don't stop there,
scour your hearthstone with soap
and water until you've restored the
color, then give it an application
of paste wax. A periodic busting is
all that Is required afterward.
It's a little harder work, at the
time, to surface practically every
thing in your house from attic to
cellar with wax, but it's well worth

Be Wax>Wise
By Dorothy Bihlman

You mothers know that the good
health OF your young fry Is directly
due to strict sanitation, especially
during infancy. You've gasped with
horror at the sight Of your offspring
gnawing contentedly on the arm Of
the highchair. the railing of the
playpen, or the side of the crib. It
shouldn't be done, but we all know
it Is being done all the time. So,
here's a point-keep these surfaces
spandy clean. It doesn't mean daily
scrubbing with scalding water and
soapsuds-that is, If you're wax con-
scious. Simply give the baby,s crib,
chair and play pen one thoroughly
good cleaning with the soap and
water, then follow up with an all
over application Of good quality
wax. Either cream paste or liquid
wax will work wonders.
Wax seals up the pores of wood,
where without its application dirt
can become Embedded, but otherwise
can't find a foothold. After a good
treatment, surface dust can be
wiped away frequently and quickly
with damp cloth. Wax will also
save, to some degree, the delicate
enameled finishes of the nursery
furniture from teeth marks, and the
banging Of toys.
Toys belonging to older children
can be preserved with a good coat
ing of wax. This is especially true of
outdoor equipment such as slides
and swings that are exposed to all
sorts of weather. However, articles
that can no longer be bought new,
such as bikes and real rubber balls,
can stand treatment also. A good
water-emulsion wax is best for rub
Der surfaces.
If you mothers will try to get
your youngsters to consider waxing
their own possessions a game like

South-of- the-B0rder Dish

There's a man about town who
has just come home from a pro-
longed business sojourn in Mexico
bringing with him some unusual
and delectable dishes, with which
he has been RECALLING his friends.
At supper, Sunday evening, he
produced new casserole, which
so delighted the guests that they
promptly clamored for the recipes
I asked permission to pass them
along in this column, for 7 note
from letters I receive that a number
of you are very interested in Latin
American cookery.
To begin his supper, he served
cups of green turtle soup, in which
pieces of turtle meat fioated-all
out of jar from the nearby grocery
store. He spiked the soup with a
dash of lemon juice and spoonful
or so OF sherry and passed with il
rice waters, toasted and buttered
probably margarine, but the sprin-
king of salt he added to the waters
disguised it from the most observ-
anti
For himself and three guests, he
prepared the main dish whose fancy
Mexican title boils down to "savory
cornbread with sausages."
First he took u a pound of link
sausages and allowed them to fry
slowly while he was getting the
rest of the ingredients together
AS soon as it was possible, he poured
off 2 tablespoons of the fat and
used that to fry or small onions,
chopped fine, to a golden brown
Then he tossed in l tomato, chopped
up, and let that cook for three or
four minutes. Last. a "a cup of
water was poured in, the pan COW

EASTER EGGS.
Thanks to Mrs. J. M. p,
WnShinnfnn

Time flies! Last year I sent in 9
recipe for Easter eggs which was
recently reprinted. Since last
Easter I've meant to write and say
I also used ! pound raisins in the
mixture and some grated coconut
You see you can add what you have
Or leave out what you don't care
for in the fruit or nut line.
Recently Mrs. E. K. H. wrote ask
ing if she could use confectioners'
sugar. Last year when I sent the
recipe in I said to use powdered Ak
sugar. which to me means confec-
TONERS sugar. 1 never gave a
thought to powdered sugar. Sorry
Hope it caused no mixups as I've
had such grand luck with the eggs.
Our f1rst-grade mothers club at
our school are giving our children
an Easter party. I'm making the
eggs up all but the decorating which
several of the mothers have offered
to come and help with. I think that
should be lots of fun. Only I find
just when I get grand ideas I'm
out of eggs to decorate. One moth
er contributed a sugar stamp, an
other the bitter chocolate and an
other the points for the butter. The
cost to be paid by our club. The
children will also have ice cream
and cup cake decorated. We have
been giving the children a party
at each holiday Something my
school never had when I was a
youngSter!
I made candy for Christmas just
out of the Ak sugar, butter and
favoring- orange, lemon, pepper
minis, vanilla, chocolate and al
mond. Colored each flavor a diff
ferent color-rolled into small balls,
stuck a raisin in some, black wal
nut or half of pecan in others.
They looked nice and tasted good.
Hoping this sets Mrs. E. K. H.
straight. I wonder if any of the
readers who made the eggs before
enjoyed them?

shook it well. 1t should be damp,
not wet. Rinse it as often as it
gets dirty. Be a little careful of
salt, 1t will attract dampness.
OIL SPOT ON RUG?
Requested by Mrs. F. r. H.,
College Park, Md.)
I want to say to Mrs. r. E. w.
Of Rockville, who several months
ago contributed fine way of pre-
pairing ground beef, using maca-
roni and spaghetti and tomatoes,
that it is one OF the best-liked
dishes at our house. We have used
it several times as the main dish
when we wished to have an easily
prepared Sunday night supper and
it was wonderful.
Baby Oil was spilled on a flax
linin rug. 1t is practically new and
unSolled except for this one oil
spot about IS inches in diameter
As the whole rug is 8x10 I don't
want to have it cleaned at the
present time if l can eliminate
the spot at home.
X
SPACE IN DRESSER:
PATTERN FOR DRESSER SKIRT?
THANKS to Mrs. L. ~, Washington
I have found that a small size
shoe chest will fit very nicely under
the dresser. I use the inexpensive
cardboard kind. You can buy them
at any department store. I believe
they may be found in the section
which sells closest trimmings.
You may prefer a wooden chest
either painted or implanted. This
kind would be strong and if you
could match the chest to the dresser,
it would be very attractive.
I'd like to ask some one to con-
tribute an easy pattern of kidney
dresser skirt-the easier the better.
