Dorothy Dix Says

The thing that the average in
cividual Graves more than anything
else in the world is personal liberty
and, although we all feel this uni
versal urge, it is the one privilege we
are never willing to grant to others.
This is one of the strangest vagaries
OF human nature, because few of us
are conceited enough to think that
We are incarnate wisdom, that our
tastes are impeccable, and our man
ners and our morals a pattern for
all to follow. Yet We spend our lives
trying to make all with whom we
come in contact rubber stamps of
ourselves, and denying them any
right to self-expreSsion.
And, curiously enough, the more
we love people, the more determined
We are to enslave them. Yet we all
know that the very essence of happi-
ness is freedom to be ourselves, and
to be able to do what we want to
do when we want to do it, without
being put through a third-degree
tnquisit8n, or having had such a

fight over it that the victory isn't
worth what it costs.
While this is true of life in gen.
eral, it is doubly and tragically true
of family life, in which bossiness
does more to disrupt than all of the
major and minor sins combined.
For it is not the effort to escape the
responsibility of their marriage vows
that sends four couples out of five
to the divorce court, and that makes
children go to live among strangers
as soon as they can stand on their
own feet; it is just that they have
endured all the petty tyranny they
can stand.
This gives us the pitiful cases of
the married couples who cannot un-
derstand why their husbands and
wives are unhappy The husband
will tell you how generous he has
been to his wife and how he has
hung her in pearls and clothed her
in mink, but he has never given
her single hour of personal liberty
She has always had to account to

SUMMER STRATEGY: Right at
the close of summer when parched
skins need toning-up, comes a nice
bit of news that a well-known firm
is featuring a half-price sale on
their fine creams. Wind, water, and
the hot summer sun have probably
had grand time beating on your
face while you were at the beach.
But now you need something to
take away the harShness and the
dryress. There's no doubt about the
timeliness of this company's offer
to help you pave the way for your
new fall cosmetics with soft.
smooth skin.

sOAPLESS BUT SUDSY: The
top flight executive of a big cos
metic firm has really gone heady
She's brought forth a new alkali-

counteract dryness and is wonderful

soft, fluffy and shiny And better
yet, the hair is quite manageable

him for everything she did. The wife
tells how she has sacrificed herself
for her husband, but she has never
been big enough to sacrifice the
pleasure Of nagging him.
None of us but have reason to
notice how often widows and wild
overs, no matter how faithful they
have been to their dear departed
manifest the spirit of children let
out of school when their jailers
pass on. They suddenly become
young and gay again and run hither
and thither, reveling in the artless
Joy of having personal liberty for
the first time in years.
I once asked a little 4-year-
old child what she would like to
have more than anything else for
her birthday present. She thought
Ia long time and then she said: Il
would rather walk around the block
without anybody holding my hand -
Don't we grownups often feel the
same way? And If we could have
our hearts desire, wouldn't it be
to have our families grant us little
personal liberty? Wouldn't it be
grand to be able to eat what we
liked without being told how bad 1t
is for our stomachs or how many
calories it contained; to be able to
sit up half the night and read an
absorbing novel without some one
knocking on our door and telling us
we should go to sleep; to buy the
clothes that hit our own taste with
out being told that they are too
young for us, or being asked the
price; in short, to be able to do as
we pleased without having to furnish
an alibi for our acts?
But it is joy we will never know,
for our families will give us any
thing else in the world except per-
sonal liberty.

WhyGrow
Old?
BY Josephine Loicman

~ pHfNt A<O"FpHG
It is natural that I should receive
great many letters asking what
to do about puffs and lines anc
circles about the eyes for this is one
of the strategic spots when II
comes to how young or how old g
woman looks.
The tendency to circles seems tc
be inherited. They often run air
families. However, loss of sleep
malnutrition, too little outdoor exer.
else and disease can also produce
them. If you are subject to them
put yourself on the best hesltf
routine possible. After that there
are cosmetic products which will
cover up the dark discolora tior
which often accompanies them.
Always apply lubricating cream te
your face and allow it to soak in
before doing any facial exercises
After you have done this pull the
eye lids together, pushing one
against the other. After you prac-
tice for a while you will be able
to lift the muscles underneath the
skin under the eyes without in
dulging in extreme squirting Place
your flngertips under your eyes and
feel the muscles move under your
fingers.
Daily care in this small matter
will bring you big dividends in
prolonged youthful appearance
Whenever you see woman who
looks years younger than. she Is
you can usually be certain that she
has been faithful in many such
small matters.
If you wish to have my leaflet
No. so, "Puffs and Lines Under the
Eyes" send a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope with your request

OATMEAL MUFFINS?
KNITTING BOOK?

From Mrs. r. J. S., Washington. J
Perhaps some of the readers can
give me a recipe for rolled oats
mullins The recipe in which I am
interested used to appear on the
oatmeal boxes abo6t fifteen or
twenty years ago, and the Identify
ing characteristic Is that the milk
was scalded before being poured
over the rolled oats. I have found
other recipes for oatmeal mullins,
but it is this one which 1 partic-
ularly want.
Can any one tell me where to
get an instruction book for making
afghans? 1 am sure that one of
the yarn companies used to publish
booklet, but I have been unable
to find it. I want to knit an afghan,
not. crochet it, and Id like to see
some good patterns.

STEWED CHICKEN:

DEHYDRATED PARSLEY.
From Mrs. E. c. w., Silper Spring. J
To Mrs. c. A. c., Falls Church
Try adding milk or a little cream
to stewed chicken gravy, then a
small amount of yellow vegetable
coloring. You will find the eye
appeal improved. l also add a
bouillon cube to stewed chicken,
it seems to point up the flavor,
and it also changes the color a
bit. The bouillon cubes will help
the color of most stews.
Have you tried dehydrating pars-
ley in a cool oven. after the heat
is turned off, and keeping in a
dark place, to use as garnish for
stews, mashed potatoes, ETC.? If
dried out carefully on paper towel
on the broiler rack, it will retain
its bright green color and will keep
indefinitely,

You win perhaps use a pram suit
as here, but put a sweater under it
and an extra blanket at night Nit
tens, soakers and bonnets need to
be warm. There is a nice suit for
babies who spend much time on the
floor. It has butcher boy top and
slacks. Wind will blow through a
knit bonnet more than one made
of wool flannel or other woven ma
terial. l would say, make extra
sweaters, mostly.
