It's funny to note, but whenever
you give an informal party almost
all your guests will eventually gath
er in the kitchen. There it seems
that the conversation becomes more
lively and the harmony of the quar-
tet doesn't crate as painfully on
the nerves. Also with mother doing
the cooking, today, the kitchen is
the family gathering place. Even
If they do not actually help with
the work in hand, they at least keep
mother company and stimulate the
conversation. The result is the fun
and congenialty of the old farm
house kitchen where the neighbors
sat around with the family, swap
ping gossip. Because we again
spend so much time in the kitchen,
it should be an attractive as well
as doWn-to-earth room.
The decorating instinct Of the

to a more homelike place than the
dark, poorly planned kitchen of
grandmother era. In the first
place, kitchens have to be scrubbed
whether painted in the brown paint
of 1900 or the light tones of today.
The majority Of modern kitchens
are finished in an off white, but
there Is no reason why pale pink,
blue or yellow cannot be used.
These pastel shades scrub as well
as the white. If your room needs
a new coat of paint you might try
that easy-to-apply variety that has

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am desperately
in love with young lady %, as she
is with me, and the only obstacle to
our marriage is that I am 60, but I
am in good health and except that
have gray hair nobody would take
me for over 40. We both work in
the same defense plant, make good
money, are very congenial, and I
am sure We could be very happy to-
gether, except that lot of old
women have ganged up on us and
made her afraid to try it. What do
you think? T. L. B.
Answer am sorry to discourage
such budding love affair, but the
difference in your ages is entirely
too great and your marriage would
be predestined failure, no matter
how much both you strove to make
it a success. The girl is in the
springtime of life and you are in its
late autumn, and the two can never
blend.
OF course, you say you are healthy
ana $tFOnS ana SIlll young ana no
body would take you for your age
But it isn't true. 1t is the myth
with which all of us deceive our
selves, but time. with relentless
logic, calls our bluff. The years take
their toll. They sap our strength.
They harden our arteries. They slow
our gait. They give us spectacles
and a cane in exchange for our clear
vision and nimble feet. And we are
old, whether we admit it or not.
1t has always been a mistake for
people to marry outside of their own
age class, but it was never such an
error as it is now. For in the last
few years customs and habits and
points of view have simply been
revolutionized so completely that it

kitchen, Just as they do in the liv-
ing room. Although ready-made
varieties have been increasingly diff
flcult to find in the past wear. Oc-
casionally they can be run to earth
by some lucky shopper.
But If you're not the lucky lady
try your hand at making pair.
The bolt material is very gay, with
bright colors, and the designs seem
to be well planned by the manu-
facturer, so that cutting and piecing
will be a simple step for the be-
ginner. Plain, white, permanent
finish organdy might seem a little
extravagant for the kitchen, but it
is crisp and dainty in appearance
and launders beautifully. Bingham,
calico and toweling are good, too.
It is possible to find wooden cab
inets, which are just as cleanable
as metal ones. Some may be Sc
cured in natural wood finish, but
most are painted white The cab
inets come in various sizes, SO you
will undoubtedly be able to find one
with just the right measurements
for that extra space. A few decal-
comanias add splash of color.
One of those small stepladders,
equipped with stool top, and several
other chairs, if there is room, for
the convenience of your audience,
will fit nicely into this get-togethef
kitchen. Purchase implanted chairs
and finish them to match your
walls.
Flowering plants on the window
sill are the final attraction in the
plan to create a comfortable, cozy
atmosphere that looks as though

in the kichen, and really liked it!

more-than-successful party and one
which the guests will long re-

The menu was simple, but de-

with a sprinkling of chopped fresh
basil Then came the soft-shell
crabs dressed with precious butter
and sprinkled with shaved almonds;
Duchesse potatoes. a salad of young
tender green beans and julienne
beets with French dressing, served
along with this course, and for des-
sert deep-dish BURBERRY pie with
cream Instead of white wine with
the crabs. our host served pale dry
beer, we'll chilled. His theory is
that soft-shell crabs are the one
kind of seafood that does not go

The cream of tomato soup was
easy to prepare and refreshing as
a first course. The condensed soup
was used and rich milk and cream

added. All was heated through and
set to chill thoroughly in the re-

The little crabs were alive and
kicking, of course, up to the mo-
ment of cleaning. Cleaning was
done by laying them on their stom-
achs, lifting up the tapering points
of the soft shell and removing all
the spongy mass beneath. They
were washed seasoned well with
salt. pepper, lemon juice and
chopped parsley. Then they were
sauteed in butter until just done and
served Immediately with a sauce,
made by melting butter until it was

done carefully, so that the butter

From Mrs. G. V. M,
Huntsville Md

My little girl is now 49, and has
been piQGng up her toys since she
was 3. 11fore that I would always
say, Come, I'll help you put away
the toys, or hang up the Clothes" as
the case may be. Little by little I
did less and less and she more and
more. Occasionally, to encourage
her, now chip in and help when
there are quite a lot. But most of the
time she does it alone. However, a
few times when she was stubborn
and just refused I explained that
little girls who do not take care
Of their toys and clothes do not de-
serve to have nice ones and have on
occasion taken something away COM
pletely, but never for long as this
has always worked and she usually
has a change of heart. In maya
zine recently there was a page of
object lessons (pictures) of little
girl named "Goofy" and one named
Gallant" OF course, "Goofy'' never
did things right and Gallant" al
ways did. So once In while I refer
to this and call her "Goofy," which
she does not like, as she wants to be
the Gallant" girl.
Following are some of the pray
ers you might want to use for your
little girl. They are for her bedtime
and mealtime:
