If you like to cook outdoors
and who doesn't these
days? :. here's a menu espe-
cially planned for the glorious
Fourth.
Father, the guy you couldn't
get to boil cup Of water last
winter, suddenly turns chef
the minute the cooking is done
over an open fire. And these
kabobS will suit him TO a T.
They're simmered in a tangy
tomato soup sauce that gives
a smacking good flavor to the
beef cubes (or use ground beef
if it suits your crowd with
mushroom caps. wee onions
and green pepper pieces.
You thread these kabobS on
short skewers and cook EN- in
a long handled skillet. A de-
cided advantage on a hot day
since it allows a comfortable
distance between the cook and
the Goals. Good for safetys
sake, too, if your youngsters
are on the cooks crew."
Come eating time. Just slip
the kabobs of the skewer onto
a split and buttered hot-dog
roll. Fun to make, easy to eat
for everyone.
With them, corn on the cob
is the perfect choice for the
American holiday. Also "rab-
bit food" served up in bucket
filled with crushed ice to keep
the celery and carrot sticks
crisp and cold. Fresh pine
apple halves, scooped out and
filled with bite-size fruit gar
nished with mint leaves is a
tempting finale. Plenty of
summer fruit on the stands
now to give you good selec-
ton melons. blueberries,
strawberries, apricots. man
goes, blackberries. cherries,
grapes. peaches make up
your own combination. Bev-
eraee a tall cool iced tea.

Games Good for Travel
Mrs. A. W, Sedbrook

Dear R. S. B.: Perhaps your
boys would enjoy two or three
of the ideas we use when
travelling.
One game is to count all
the footed animals-one
boy to take the left side of the
road and the other. the right
side. This is usually good for
half an hour or so. A white
horse counts 20 but a cemetery
will wipe out the whole total
and that child must start over
again. This can get quite ex-
citing when passing through
rural areas. especially dairy
country.
Another game is to take
turns finding an object begin
ming with each letter of the
alphabet in succession. For in
stance. first child possibly will
see an apple (airplane, animal,
etc. the second child might
see barn bakery, building,
etc.; next, corn COW. calf,
cat). dog donkey. dairy. dump
truck and so on through the
alphabet, with the possible eX-
ception of the letters @. x and
z.
A supply Of the small card
games from the dime store
might occupy them for vary
ing lengths of time Probably
the picture card games would
interest the smaller boy more
than the number games. Col
oring books are helpful. too.
A firm surface such as a bread
board Cor engineers drawing
board should be furnished for
easier playing of the games
and backing for the coloring
books.
A game of memory for all
the occupants of the car is
another interesting way to en-
terrain the children for quite a
while. Choose turns; then first
person thinks of something be-
ginning with A, such as auto
mobile; then second person
thinks of something beginning
with B, but must repeat the A
object before naming his B
object. Third person must re-
peat both the A and B objects

Three-f ourths of all wives

need not hasten this event.
Mrs. CD. is already worrying
about it and should do some
thing about it instead. In a
long letter she tells me Of her
fears and draws a grim pic
ture of what her existence
would be like il she lost her
husband. She seems to have
no more ground for fear than
anyone else who is far past
middle age. but there are
hundreds of thousands OF
wives who might well take
the same measures she ought
to take to keep her husband
alive.
/. Keep him slender. Watch
his diet carefully, but be sure
it's we'll balanced. Set him a
good example.
2. Make sure he gets enough
rest. II his work permits he
should lie down for an hour
after lunch every day. If not
he should get to bed early.
3. Encourage him to have a
thorough medical examination
each year and take one your
self.
4. See that he gets plenty
OF recreation Of a wholesome,
inexpensive, thoroughly salts
flying kind, partly with you

NEW YORK. N. Y.-The
Responsibility pattern" or
theory that if man was earn
ing enough to support his fam
lily his wife would not go out
to work is just another van
ishing Americanism. At least.
so says Sanford Dornbush, a
Harvard University sociolo-
gist who has specialized for
many years in studies of the
census figures by income
brackets and figuring out what
percentage of the women
whose husbands earn thus
and so are either holding onto
their Jobs when they marry or
going back to work when their
youngsters are grown.
The professor would be a
handy man to have along if
you've been getting yourself
involved in uniformed dis
cussions on why you want to
go back to work, even if your
husband is making over $4,000
a year. He would probably
point out that a Government
sample survey in 1851 showed
that: of wives between the
ages of 20 and "A whose hus-
bands were earning under
$4,000 year (and who had
no children under 49,, about
SIS per cent were at work.
Where husbands earned be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 only
80 per cent of the wives went
10 work. In the $1,000 to $10.-
600 bracket only SO per cent
Of the wives were working;
but of the $4,000 and over
group 2l.1 per cent of the
wives were on somebody else's
i payroll.
Pattern Reversed
According to DornbuSh's
latest calculations, which he
prepared for the editors Of
Fortune Magazine in conjunc-
ton with a current series of
articles on American working
women. middle class and
especially upper middle-class
women no longer regard it as
wrong to work when the chill
dren are grown. while older
working-class wives. especially
Negroes. who no longer are
hard up for money. seek to
retire from work. The classes.
in effect, have exchanged
ideas of responsibility"
Quite a few husbands evil
IDENTIFY have, too!
Back in 1910, in one Of the
learned journals, .Dornbush
was pointing out with statis-
tics as proof that women
were working because they
wanted to-even though the
"respectability pattern" held
among the older white women.
In the forthcoming July
issue of Fortune magazine,
Daniel Bell quotes the Har-
ward professors new findings
in his own portrayal of the
American working woman in
