Dorothy Dix
Says:

I often wonder that husbands and
wives do not more frequently use
the epistolary, instead of the word
of mouth, method of settling their
difficulties. If they did, it would
save many a domestic brawl and pre-
vent many divorce. For 1t Is next
to impossible for a married couple
to discuss any topic on which they
disagree and stick to the subject
of debate.
The argument may start over an
apparently innocuous matter, sucn
as whether they shall accept the
Jones invitation to play bridge or
to go to the movies; or whether
Johnny shall have a new sweater
like all the other boys have; or If
Sally is old enough to have dates;
or why the wife can't learn to make
a decent cup of coffee; but before
| it ends, they are in free-for-all
fight, with mercy neither asked or
given.
One word has just led on to an
other and before they know 1t. they
are calling names, and raking up
past grievances, and delving into
each others family histories and
casting Aunt James indiscretions
and Grandpa S sprees in each others
teeth.
And in the scrimmage, the real
subject under consideration has been
forgotten. Both parties have been
SO busy hurting brickbats at each
other that they have lost sight of
the line of reasoning that might
have been convincing to the other
il they had been calm enough to
think it over without anger. The
real reason why there is SO little
cooperation between husbands and
wives is that they can so seldom
talk things over together without
getting into each others hair.
Most husbands and wives think
that this is one of the inevitable
tragedies of marriage and that'there
is no way out of it. But there Is.
1t is via the postal service. 1t is
by writing letters instead of talking.
If every husband and wife who failed
to see eye to eye with each other
on any subject would sit down and
write a letter to the party of the
other part, presenting his or her
point of view, it would save many
a heartache and many broken up
home.
There are many good reasons why
a letter would be the great ambaS-
sador OF domestic peace, if it were
used to clarity a dangero-k situation
instead of attempting to do it viva
voce. In the first place. it would
eliminate the sound of the angry
human voice, which gets on the
nerves III an argument and rasps
them to fiddle strings. Nobody can
consider a matter dispassionately
when they are being screamed al.
And, in the second place, just the
mere act of sitting down to write
letter steadies us. 1t throws respon-
sibility upon us, and makes us think
out our case more clearly than We
would do If we were just having q
husband-and-wife spat.
And, in the third place, the re-
ceiver Of the letter would read 1t In
cold blood, not when he or she was
boiling over with anger.

Paper draperies which not only
look like fabric, but feel almost like
it are now available in several stores.
These are produced by methods de-
veloped by the largest research Or
ganization in the wallpaper indus
try. They come already to hang on
an ordinary curtain rod and in addi-
ton the paper variety. are said to
be fadeproof, flame resistant and
easily cleanable. Sold with two
matching tiebacks, they are now
available in an overall flower rose
pattern that is most attractive
There is a choice of four colors,
natural, rose, blue and green. The
draperies are completely hemmed
and headed ready to be hung as
we mentioned above. Merely in
sorting a regular curtain rod gently
into the channel does the job, but if
you want to pleat them before they
are hung, the draperies can be fold
ed in and basted with a loose stitch,
in box pleats. They may be hung
with hooks or sewed on rings. Don't
worry if they are too long, for the
paper is adaptable to the sewing
machine so a hem of any size may
be turned. At the end of the season,
due to the modest price, they may
be discarded, but if you care to use
them at the recreation room win
dows, or some such place, they can
be cleaned quite successfully. SIM

excellent to use in summer cottages.

COFFEE CAKE;
CRANBERRY SALAD;
RAKED HAM.

BAKED HAM.
Iron, Mrs. K. M. c., Wash1ngton.l
Replying to request OF Mrs. M. >.
r of Mclean for coffee cake SUD-
NIT one used in my family for years.
It is a real cake, not the breakfast
variety. One-half cup shortening,
2 cups sugar drown or white OF
l of each) eggs, cup cold strong
coffee, 3 cups flour, u teaspoon SAT-,
q teaspoons baking powder, l Tea
spoon cinnamon, y teaspoon each
of cloves and nutmeg, cup ralslns.
Cream shortening and sugar toge5n-
er, add eggs one at time and hea'
well. Sift dry ingredients together
and add alternately with the coffee,
add Toured raisins. Bake in loaf or
cup cakes or dropped cookies at
$50 degrees.
Cranberry Salad: One package OF
cherry or any red jello, n cup
sugar, y cup hot water, l cup
crushed pineapple, 2 or 8 cups un.
cooked cranberries, medium sHed
apples, 2 medium sized oranges. Add
sugar to jello and CRATE over it the
rind of l orange, then pour the
hot water over the crater on to the
jello, to get all the rind possible, and
stir until dissolved. Add the cram
berries and peeled apples, which
have been put through the food
grinder using the medium blade,
Cut the oranges in half and add the
cutout segments, the remaining
juice and the pineapple. The
oranges prepared in this way
eliminates the undesirable hard
chunks of rind when ground. Pine
apple gives just the right flavor,
also cuts down on the sugar but
may be omitted if desired, and l cup
of sugar used. Frosted cranberrleS
may be used. Canned cranberry
sauce cut in small pieces may be
used, then omit the sugar.
Smithfield and corned (salted)
hams should be soaked and boiled
as they are dry or salty, but home
sugar cured smoked hams or the
usual kind purchased in the stores
are much better baked. Leave the
ham out of refrigerator several
hours or overnight to be room tenn
perature. After wiping the ham
with a damp cloth, wrap several
times in grease proof paper, the
kind used by the butchers, and tie
with a string. Place fat side up in
double baker, without water, in oven
300 degrees. Light the oven as you
put the ham in and bake 20 minutes
to the pound and allow 20 minutes
for heating the oven. Cook a pre-
cooked ham Is minutes to the
pound. When taken from the oven
remove the paper and skin ham
while hot, save the grease. The
nam may be spread with brown
sugar and spices and placed back in
oven to brown if desired. 1t Is better
to bake a whole ham, even if you
have to sell or share with neighbor.
Do not place in the refrigerator
until thoroughly cold and do not cut
until the next day, thereby retaining
flavor and juices. A boned ham
wrapped in cellophane paper by the
meat company is delicious baked
just as it is in the same paper
without opening until cooked and
cold. 1t is usually pre-cooked so
allow 10 minutes to the pound.
