Problems
Today
Husbands Job
Is Criticized
By His Wife
By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
problem is my husbands work.
We have been married one year
and though I knew what his oc-
cupation was before I married
him, had no idea it would affect
me the way 1t has. His work is
of very low calibre: although
honest, it doesn't require any in
telligence. I'm well educated and
have had several years Of Office
experience. My husband has had
very little education, and doesn't
aspire to any more. His DISPOSE
ton is good; he's good pro-
wider, but I feel he should better
himself before we have children.
Am I wrong in nagging him
about this? I feel 50 embarrassed
when someone asks me what he
does.
MRS. T.Y.
ANSWER You are guilty Of
the most fragrant sort Of snob-
berry. Also, you are beset by q
few misconceptions. Honest
work is never of a low calibre,
and the only thing that should
embarrasS any one would be
having to admit that their living
was provided through dishonest
efforts. Since you were well
aware Of your husbands situa-
ton before you married him,
this seems rather a late date
to object to it. Your childish
reluctance to accept the in
evitable. simply because your
husbands work isn't glamorous,
Is much more culpable than his
manual labor.
What miracle do you expect
to change a man who prefers
to work with his hands into an
intellectual? It takes all sorts
Of jobs to make the world 60
round. often the most neces-
sary are those lacking prestige.
All the comforts surrounding
you - such as electricity, gas,
running water, heat, transport
tation-are there because some
men worked with their hands
to install them. True, they were
planned behind desks by peo-
pie Of high education, but the
planning would have been use
less without willing hands and
muscles for their execution.
If you have a good, kind,
generous man. you have some
body to be mighty proud Of,
regardless of how he earns the
living you enjoy. And for good
ness sake, stop nagging! The
advantages of an education GER
tainly haven't made much i'm
preston on you, when you be-
have so foolishly over a matter
that can't be altered and is Of
small consequence anyway.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: How
much should devoted parents ex-
pect from their children? I'm
so, my husband is 81. Six
months ago he suffered a heart
attack and needs considerable
treatment now. He works q
little, so we have a small in
come but not nearly enough to
cover doctors bills and medical
ton. We have two beautiful
daughters to whom we gave
every advantage, but now they
seem to forget we could use
some help. Both are married,
one is extremely well of, and
the other is comfortable, yet
they never offer us a cent.
MRS. S.
ANSWER: It certainly is de-
pressing to realize how neglect
full children can be. If they
would only realize how little
elderly parents need, that Just a
few dollars a week would make
all the difference between pinch
ing and comfort. It's hard to
ask outright for help that should
be graciously offered, but since
your daughters apparently have
no sense or SenSibility, that's
about the only way you'll get any
assistance from them.

coRNBREAD:
STAINS?

MRS. W. r. H., ArlingtonJ
In response to q request for
a cornbread recipe, I'm send
ing one I clipped from RICH
a long time ago. This calls for
"a cup milk poured over the
batter rather than the / cup
the reader mentioned, but it
is perhaps similar.
Sift together n cup corn
meal, " cup flour. 2 table,
spoons sugar, u teaspoon bak-
ing powder. Stir in / we'll
beaten egg and add a cup Of
sweet milk. Beat mixture
vigorously. Add Q tablespoons
melted shortening. After plac-
ing this mixture in baking pan.
pour over 1t " cup milk. Do
not stir it in. Bake IS minutes
in hot oven. There should be
q line of creamy custard in
center.
The lady who wanted q
remedy for removing tea stains
might try securing with baking
soda. I have used this sue
cessfully in removing both tea
and coffee stains from china
but have never tried 1t on
glass.
I've long wondered If any Of
the readers have had expert
ence with an unusual type Of
stain on linoleum. For some
time we have had tiny brown
stains about the breakfast ia
BILE, similar in size and shape
to the well-known O-shaped
oat cereal. Since these are
confined to the breakfast room
and there are none on an
identical kitchen linoleum,
we've decided they may have
been made by contact Of the
chrome legs Of the chairs on
the waxed floors. We've tried
everything. including steel
wool, but nothing will remove
these unsightly small brown
stains. I should be most CRATE
full for any suggestions.
TOY BOX?
Mrs. W. E. L., KenSington)
I have an old steamer trunk
which I would like to make in
to a toy box for my twins.
Sometime ago someone sent
in the address of a place
where Pennsylvania Dutch de-
sign stencils could be obtained.
I had no use for this infor-
nation at that time, but would
appreciate it now. have
thought of painting the trunk
white and then using these de-
signs on top. Does anyone
have any suggestions as to
printing type of paint, etc?
The trunk is made of some
sort of heavy metal.
I would also appreciate
some suggestions from mothers
OF twins, (mine are / year ODD
as to schedules, for homework,
ETC., also at what age their
twins learned to play nicely
together and show affection
without pulling each others
hair, etc. Also have anyone
with twins of this age ever
attempted an overnight trip.
and If so how did they man
age. Thank you and how I
enjoy RICH.

DECORATING ICING
MRS. 4. H. Bethesdnl

Use 8 egg whites and be
sure they are entirely free Of
the egg yolk. Place in deep
bowl and beat until slightly
frothy. Remember the least bit
of grease will prevent egg
whites beating properly. Add
one third box of Ak confec-
tionery sugar and beat well,
add remainder of box in small
patches, beating well. Add 8
drops of vanilla or lemon
fiavoring. Add one drop Of
acetic acid. (May be left out,
this acid gives firm coating
outside with a soft inside). If
icing is to be used white, add
one drop of blue coloring. Beat
mixture until it is so firm that
when the spatula is drawn the
icing will stand up and not set
tie back. Then it is firm
enough for the piping tube. If
icing is to be colored, add the
color to suit when fiavoring Is
added. To frost cake. this icing
may be used by beating In
lastly one third cup Of butter
or shortening. Cover cake with
thin coat and let dry, repeat
with second coat, and let dry
before decorating. Do not use
icing with shortening for dec
Grating, as 1t will not hold up.
If the acetic acid is not avail
able. add "a teaspoon cream OF
tartar to the egg whites.
