People are busy everywhere and
nothing Is more important to them
than to be able to come to a home

A chaise is long chair and we
have adopted the French term,

There are few rooms in which
one may not be used. The only

II the house is large and much

In small family units a chaise or
pair of ehaises may be used in

window or fireplace facing each
other.
This use Is more limited as the
chaises do not function well as
seating pieces when guests are not
well known and a formal atmos-
pfaere prevails. But in city apart

Dorothy
Says

Dear Miss Dix: Many people are
asking why do girls marry 80 young
these days? I think I know the
answer. think it is mostly because
of their home conditions. Their
parents push them into marriage.
Some times it Is because the fathers
and mothers have babied their
daughters so much that the girls
resent it; they get married to prove
that they are grown up.
Other parents, especially mothers,
are so afraid that their daughters
will be old maids that they rush
them into marriage. Other teen
ayers marry because their parents
are too strict and they think they
will be free II they marry and get
away from them. Other parents try
to marry of their girls because
they can't give them nice things
and they want to unload them on
some man to support.
I know I married long before I
should just because was unhappy
at home and I was too young to
know that such a marriage Is
jumping from the frying pan into
the fire. Girls who have happy
homes are not so anxious to take
such big risks. ONE OF THEM.
Answer-Every word you say Is
the gospel truth and there is moth
ing else in the whole wide world
that is so inexplicable as why wom-
en- who have gone through years
and years Of the misery Of an un-
happy marriage are so eager to get
their daughters married off. You
would think that they would move
heaven and earth to keep their little
girls from rushing into matrimony
until they were, at least, old enough
to know what they were doing and
had had enough experience Of life
tc be able to judge what sort Of a
man they were risking their life's
happiness in marrying and whether
he would be able to give them any
security or not.
But they don't. I get hundreds of
letters from girls who say that they
are not ready to marry; they don't
want to marry, and they especially
loathe the men their mothers are
trying to force them to marry. And
almost every one of these letters
say that their mothers seem to think
that they will be disgraced If they
are not married and they will nag at
the poor girls until they drive them
into marriages for which they have
no desire.
But there are other reasons be-
sides unhappy home lives that make
the little bobby-soxers rush into
marriages before they are ready for
it. The principal one is that just
now all the girls are doing it and so
they feel that they have to have a
wedding ring, just as they feel they
have to have the same kind of
sweater and do their hair the same
way and talk the same gibberish
that the other girls do. 1t is the
mass hysteria OF adolescence that
wrecks the lives of thousands upon
thousands Of poor little teen-agers.

PLANT EXCHANGE.

from Mrs. r. v. H., Washington J
Several years ago I was given
some outdoor oxalis plants by a
friend. They grow from bulb-like
roots that multiply rapidly. This
is not the same as the house plant
by the same name. 1t Is a pink
blossom about 6 to 8 inches high.

COMMENT.
SQUARE DANCES?

A regular type washing machine
can be made practically an auto
matte washer by refllling with clear
water and rinsing the clothes in it
running the washer only two or
three minutes per batch. This takes
much longer in overall time, but for
young mothers who have to be home
all day anyhow and have many
other things to occupy them, 1t takes
much less of their time and energy
to just dump the clothes back in the
washer than it does to rinse them
through several waters by hand. At
least I found it SO.
I might say also for the benefit OF
those planning on building that in
my opinion the ideal place for laun-
dry tubs is not against the wall, but
out in the floor with plenty of space
to walk around them, and also that
the ideal washer is square so as to
fit up against these tubs. This is the
way they have the washer and tubs
placed in a "washateria" visited.
1 should appreciate it very much
il some square dance instructions
could be printed here for 3 or 4
dances such as the Virginia reel, the
grapevine swing, the ocean wave,
with suggestions of records to be
played during each type Of dance.
Oh yes, and the Paul Jones, too.
I have gone to Of the largest book
stores here, and they said they had
no books on dancing at all. much
less square dancing, and didn't seem
to have ever heard of such a thing.
I should like to give a square
dance, but unfortunately neither I
nor my friends know how.

as far as Boston.

orange rind, u cup cream or 1r-
radiated evaporated milk. Soften
gelatin in IA cup orange juice. Beat
egg yolk slightly, add honey, salt
and remaining orange juice. Cook
in double boiler until custard con-
sistency, stirring constantly. Add
softened gelatin to hot custard and
stir until dissolved. Add cottage
cheese, lemon juice and grated rind,
Stir until we'll blended. Cool, and
when mixture begins to thicken, fold
in whipped cream or evaporated
milk and the stifdy beaten egg white.
Make crumbs for bottom and top
of cake as follows: Crush nine slices
sweetened zwieback, or cup corn
flakes or graham cracker crumbs
Mix thoroughly with Y cup melted
butter, tablespoons sugar and II
tablespoon cinnamon. Place part OF
crumbs in bottom of small glass
casserole. Turn in cheese filling
and sprinkle remaining crumbs on
top. Chill thoroughly until firm.
When ready to serve unmold onto
serving dish and garnish with
orange segments.
Note: Milk may be used in place
Of orange juice and white corn sirup
instead of honey. Use grated lemon
rind in place of orange.
For Mrs. M. S. T., Mclean, cole
slaw. Florida new cabbage with
some green is preferable to white
winter cabbage.
For two: Shred finely with sharp
knife, "a of small head Q1a
pounds. Place in bowl, sprinkle
with generous teaspoon of sugar.
also tablespoon of white vinegar,
stirring with silver fork, u cup
pineapple is tasty if one has it. Cut
fine If sliced or chunks, but crushed
is nice. If not pineapple, small
eating apple pared and sliced In
small pieces and mixed well. One
or two tablespoons of salad dressing
Ordinary is all that Is needed.
Over all we like grated carrots,
sprinkled with celery salt. Tender
red cabbage can be used also as
above.
(From Mrs. w. T. P, Arlington.)
To Mrs. M. S. T., of Mclean. I
believe can help you with your
problem of making cole slaw to suit
your husband. I had a similar prob
lem for years.
My husband always said my cole
slaw lacked something but he
couldn't tell just what it was. He
always liked the cole slaw served
with fish dinners at the good res
taurants. After tasting and tasting
myself I finally discovered 1t was a
garlic flavor he liked. so here is the
recipe I use now, that is great
favorite with him. Wet the inside
of the salad bowl and rub thorough
ly with cut Glove of garlic. Crate
or shred cabbage in the bowl and
sprinkle a little salt over it. Toss
the cabbage so that the garlic fla
vor and salt are mixed through the
cabbage. Let stand few minutes
and add mayonnaise to taste. A
little sugar added to some mayon-
naise improves the salad. Hope this
is the answer to your cole slaw prob
lem as it was to mine. 1t is so simple.

GRAPEFRUIT.
From Mrs. P. J. B., SLUer Spring. J
Mrs. A. j. R., select fruit heavy

the stem and blossom ends. With
sharp knife remove seeds, cut fruit
from skin all the way around edge.
Cut down each side of skin between

CHAIR SEATS?
WASHING SHEETS.
(Fron Mrs. J. C. Y, HyuttSUille. J
Perhaps some one can tell me If
it is possible to buy seats to put on
chairs that were originally caned.
The dime stores and mail order
houses used to carry them, but I
haven't seen them since before the
war. If I could buy the cane, I
would attempt to recane them, but
don't know where to start looking
for that.
I wonder If Mrs. M. S. T., of Nc
Lean washes just 0rle sheet at a
time. I found three at time do
best IN my washer and I'm careful
to try and get all the sheet in one
third of the washer instead of let
ting 1t get wrapped around the
center shaft. That way the machine
is full enough to keep the sheets in
place, yet allow the water to circu-
late freely. At least it does in mine.

LENGTH OF SKIRTS.
From M. o. w., Arlington)
In connection with Readers Clear
ing House section for January 20,
I am most anxious to convince Mrs.
c. r. B. of Falls Church that she
has been misinformed in the mat
ter of skirts worn by WAVES, as
evidenced in her contribution on
the subject of longer skirts.
Uniform regulations covering
WAVE uniforms state In part:
"Skirt-This garment shall be six
gored style, of conventional sweep
and length. :"
In addition, instructions were
promulgated to WAVES from time
to time stating that, "the length of
uniform skirt shall be such that the
knee is covered at all times"
No doubt few of the inevitable
offenders have given Mrs. c. r. B.
the wrong impression where WAVES
are concerned.

lowing letter of appreciation
from the President of the Park

eff you have had ringing ears

because of the many fine
things that have been said of
your program and the talent of
