By the Way
BETH BLAINE

Ever since February, 1912,
when she first volunteered to the
American Womens Voluntary
Services, Mrs. Rockwell c. Ten
ney has contributed approx
mately 100 hours a month to
AWVS work. Most of it has
been with the canteen, although
Mrs. Tenney has also sold War
Bonds and Stamps and worked
with the AWVS Baby Ferrying
Command.
Shes a hard worker and an
able one. She gets things done
easily and quickly and sne's ex-
tremeiy popular with the other
workers. AS assistant section
chief of the AWVS Canteen she
goes back and forth to both cam
teens-the one at headquarters,
1920 Twenty-second street, and
the AWVS Park Lunch Bar, at
Twenty first and Constitution
avenue, which is open only
during the warm months. For
the past fiscal year. Mrs. Tenney
told us, the AWVS headquarters
canteen has served 50,538 Gus
toners and for the five months
that the outdoor canteen was
open last summer it served
l60,528 people. Both canteens
are open only to members of the
armed forces, Government work
ers and AWVS personnel. The
Park Lunch Bar will open this
year Wednesday, May 9, and
as usual is operated by the AWVS
at the request of the Army
BY special arrangement with
the Extension Training Division
of the Red Cross, number of
Red Cross canteen workers are
sent each week to work in the
two AWVS canteens as part of
their practical training before
going overseas. They're a great
help, too, these girls, Mrs. Tenney
says, but she also added that the
canteens could use a great many
more volunteers right now If
you'd like to volunteer, call Du-
pont 1478D
The Tenneys came to WASH
ington from Boston and have
been here since shortly after
Pearl Harbor. On her trim AWVS
uniform Mrs. Tenney wears a
pin with four stars-one for her
husband, a lieutenant colonel in
Army Transportation, one for
each of her two sons in the serv-
ice, and one for her son-in- law,
killed in action.

Dorothy Dix Says

all servicemen should take to heart.
It is one Of the inevitable catastro-
phes of war that it brings about
changes that makes the first fur
Tough OF serviceman almost al
ways q bitter disappointment both
to him and to the wife or sweet
heart he left behind him. For in
both cases they practically meet as
strangers and have to get acquainted
with each other and adjust them
selves to one another anew. Neither
has suspected what would happen or
is prepared for it.
The wife has been looking for the
jolly, carefree boy who left her to
come back as light-hearted as he
went and she does not know what
to make OF the brooding, nervous,
irritable man who resents her SIM
plest question as if she were trying
to pry into his affairs. She thought
he would be thrilled to death over
her little budget of household news
and she is hurt when he doesn't
seem to think that the baby having
cut a new tooth is a world-shaking
event.
And, most of all, she can't under
stand why he seems closer to any
lighting man than he does to her.
She doesn't realize that for the mo-
ment, danger and death and win
ming the war have put all other
thoughts out of her husbands mind.
1t is these changes for which every
war wife should prepare herself.
Nothing, either now or after the
war, is going to be the same-not
even husbands. They are going to
need a lot more love, patience, and
understanding than ever before.

Dear Miss Dix: There Is no de-
scribing the Joy a wife feels when
the man she loves walks up the steps
and into her arms after having been
gone for many months. I have just
experienced this, but from the min
ute my husband returned on his fur
Tough, I made a series of unforgiv-
able mistakes. I had heard about
the changes that the war made in
the boys, but thought it would be
the same as ever with Lee.
The first mistake made was ask
ing him how long his leave was. The
second mistake was when I tried to
get him to tell about his expert
ences in the war. Now, when it is too
late, I know that the boys don't
want to talk about that and they
don't like to remember that before
long they will have to go back. These
boys are leading double lives-their
families and sweethearts on one side,
their ship and shipmates on the
other side. We can't intrude in their
lives with their shipmates, but their
ShipmateS can intrude in ours.
This is a hard thing to face and
I couldn't take it. Jealousy came be-
tween us because I couldn't under
stand him and his shipmates could
and it Stayed me when I found out
that he would rather be with his
Shipmates than with me.
Tell all women with men at the
front to forget the past-all of it, be
prepared to find their men changed
and, above all, don't be jealous of
their buddies. GREEN EYES.

Some of the copies make us wish

are all great stuff for any glamour

ming on both shorts and bra. Those
who prefer the staccato stark lines
of black and white might 60 for a
black bra topping trim little side
wrapped tailored white skirt, or
some version of this fashion. On
the other hand, those who go for the
luster-lure of satin will try to find
black satin lastex with their smooth
tailored tight pants and well-fitting
bras. Or they might settle for a
two-piece satin with all-around
pleated skirt, the pleats stitched for
security's sake. They'd be settling
for siren stuff on this one!
The big rage this year is the suit
with pants that lace up both sides.
The original of this fashion was
designed by Cole in a confetti-dot-
ted white pique, with well-cut bra
and smooth-fitting pants that would
do fine things for figure that was
pretty fine to begin with. In other
words, it's a fashion for the young
and slim-and for swimmers, too,
who like a suit that's sleek and
workmanlike and which they can
rely on to stick with them. This is
more than might be expected of one
lush number we Saw-a tropical leaf
printed two-piece affair with draped
| shorts and top that was nothing
but shaped length Of fabric that
you tie in front as YOU rely on OPP
timism alone to keep it secure.
For those who prefer the one
piece sult-either because they like
to leave something to the imagina-
tion" Quoting a dowager whom we
overheard at the counter) or be-
cause they like its ladylike look,
there are classic white sharkskins,
jerseys and cottons. One that has
an unmistakable Miss America air
about it was red and white striped
satin with Pierrette ruffle rim
ming the strapless decolletage. And
if you're worrying about the
proper buildup to keep the suit up.
let us remind you that there are sep
arate waterproof deceivers that will
considerably aid your pinup posi-
biiities.
A word about the fuller figure: For
this there are pretty one-piece suits
with well-cut uplift tops and skirts
that fool the eye as they f1atter.
Jersey is especially good for these
suits, one of the prettiest of them
being a scroll-printed affair with
well-cut bodice and its own built
in bra. The smooth flow of this jer-
sey, the excellent design of the suit
will lure many a matron into be-
| coming mermaid.

Cottage cheese pancakes a la

choke, etc.
One cup flour. y teaspoon salt, /
tablespoon melted shortening (may
be omitted, 25 cup milk, 2 eggs.
MIX in order, adding milk grad
ually. Eggs may be separated and
beaten. Whites folded in last, or
may be added whole.
To make cheese pancakes, add y
pound or "a pound whole carton)
cottage cheese to batter. If cheese
is very runny, drain off excess
liquid.
Fry to golden brown in shortening
by dropping from tablespoon. This
makes small round pancakes. Serve
topped with sour cream and sprinkle
with sugar. Guaranteed to melt in
your mouth. If preceded by a veg
etable soup or borscht and served
with rich cocoa or hot chocolate,
you have delicious meal that is
