that the Creator could bestow upon
His favorite child, but it doesn't
keep her from lying awake at night
worrying over her husband running

their money and becoming beggars.
or her baby girl growing up and
marrying a man who beats her. A
successful man feels that he is
sitting on top of the world, but o
woman is always looking forward
to landing in the poorhouse.
There are a number of reasons
why women are less cheerful than
men. One is that men demand
cheerfulness of other men. No
Gloomy Gus could ever be elected
to any Office, or sell q bill of goods,
But women encourage melancholy
in other women by mingling their
tears with the sob sister and lend
ing a sympathetic ear to her tale
of woe.
Another reason why men are more
cheerful than women is because
they have more interests to divert
them and their careers force them
to think about something besides
their personal griefs. But women,
and especially domestic women
don't have. to use more than two
lobes of their brains in sweeping
and dusting and cooking, and that
gives them time and opportunity to
worry and borrow trouble and make
a cult of their grievances.
And, of course, women are handi-
capped by q lack Of q sense Of
humor. Like Queen Victoria, they
are not amused. They don't enjoy
"a funny story and q good belly
Taught, as rule. What they really
like is good cry. II women ever
want to be the optimists that men
are, they will have to cultivate their
funny bones more and their tear
ducts less.

Dorothy Dix Says

Men are the cheerful sex. Whether
they are really happier than women
is a moot question, for each heart
knoweth its own bitterness, but
women think they are, and 1t is the
thing that they envy men more
than anything else.
There is, of course, no reason why
men should be any jollier than
women are, for life plays no favor
ties. It distributes its trials and
tribulations, with an equal hand, to
both sexes, and men have just as
many sorrows to weep over as
women have, just as many anxieties
and worries to bear, just as much
hard work and struggling to do, but
they don't do as much wailing over
their lots as women do.
1t Is very seldom that a man puts
ashes on his head and spends his
time telling all who will listen his
hard luck story, whereas the great
majority of women take pride in
never getting over a grief and en-
joy nothing SO much as digging up
their misfortunes and holding post
mortems over them.
There are sorrows that tear our
hearts to pieces and leave wounds
that never heal. The loss Of be-
love one. The treachery of tne
husband or wife or friend we
trusted. They took the sunshine
of our lives with them, but evan
such tragedies as these men 5ear
with greater courage than women
do. They lock their troubles in the
old kit bag, as the peppy war song
used to go, and try to forget them.
They nail on their faces the smile
that won't come off, though, God
knows. behind it may be deep
despair instead of mirth.

q cup Of water to the pumpkin and
turn the heat on full. Place the
lid on the cooker. Allow the steam
and air to escape for q moment
through the vent. Place indicator
on. When pressure reaches Is
pounds keep 1t there for is minutes.
Then let the indicator return to
"off" position, heat turned off. Re-
move indicator, then the lid. Your
pumpkin or squash win be thor
olghly cooked and soft. Mash with
potato nnasher. Then proceed with
pie making. Two cups pumpkin
one cup milk. one cup sugar. " tea

ing. Proceed as above with method
of cooking. But when indicator

remain there only minute or two.
Turn OF heat. Let indicator return
to "off." Remove indicator, then lid.
Your chocolate will be perfectly
ready for whatever purpose you
have in mind for 1t.
Melting parafiin can be done very
satisfactorily the same way.

eggs In the pressure cooker. Lay
them Gin the shell) on the, rack
with half cup Of water in cooker. A

BOSTON, Mass. - Hothouse
hats, which ,bloqm at a predeter-
mined date and are kept in the
icebox with the milk at night,
are newest fancy in summer
headgear.
The hats, which establish a
new high in chapeau glamour,
are designed for the wearer and
are the origination Of Eleanor
O'Neill. q Boston florist with a
flair for the unusual.
Miss C'Neill has levied up oa
science in the creation of her
hats since she speeializes in de-
signing chapeaux for anniversar-
les and dates to he remembered.
and to do this must be assured
of blossoms that flowers on the
date the customer wants a hat
These flowers are brought into
bloom with a rev device which
maintains constant neat,flow.
Scientists who developed the
mechanism conducted tests which
showed that the flowers could
be made to bloom at any prede-
termined day, thereby assuring
Miss O'Neill of the fragrant
materials she converts into hats.
The festive bonnets sell for $40
to $40 and will last for five days
provided they are parked In a
refrigerator at night.
Flower hats provide new
and exciting way of expressing
the wearer's personality" says
Miss fO'Neill. IF she is the CLAM
orously fragile type ] use such
flowers as ,gardenias, camellias
or carnations in the pale shades.
If she is girl with many diff
ferent personality facets, / COM
bine the flowers, using some that
are exotic and others that are
more simple-perhaps a white
orchid as the central flower with
two or three butterfly orchids
and spray or two of white bud
dleia for fragrance. For a South

ed me of Carmen Miranda J

night she wore it she was a SEN
