Seven Italy: A Week

(By Anne llisuus)

...:.

1. Monday: Did you know that Pearl Buck, eutborees of many widely read novels, such as God”: Men, The Hidden Flower, etc.. calls her home Welcome House? Here, she and her husband care for eighteen orphans, from the toddler stage to teenagers. Five of these walls have been adopted by Miss Buck and her husband Richard J. Walsh. "A child is a child to be loved and cared for regardless of its color or creed" says Miss Buck. and so among her five adopted kiddies, are Chinese and Japanese "representatives." 0 0 0

2. Tuesday: From an old, old book on good health, come these messages: No. 1-"Do not, on any account. take an extra warm bath more than once a week, and if you are nervous, not even once a month. Not. only is magnetism wasted, but the ends of the nerves are thrown into a state of excite- ment." No. 2 says: "Children's hair should be washed only once a month and then use green soap dissolved in alcohol.” How Bath- less Groggins would have loved hint No. l! 0 U I 3. Wednesday: In the Helpful I-lint department we offer these two suggestions: When making cup cakes, place paper baking cups in your muffin pans. There is nothing to wash up then! Save steps and collect your thoughts as well as your belongings. Keep two baskets handy, one upstairs and one downstairs. Drop the "out-of- place" items in the nearest basket and when you're going upstairs carry your downstairs basket up and your upstairs basket down and put the things away. Sounds like "up the chimney up and down the chimney down", doesnt. it? . . .

4. Thursday: Mark Twain was a born borrower, especially of books. One of his neighbors undertook to cure him. When Twain asked for the loan of a book. his neighbor said, ”Cert.ainiy. But I've made a rule that any volume taken from my library must be read on the premises." A week later the neigh- bor came to borrow Twain's lawn mower. "Of course you may have it", said Twain. ”But I've made a rule that any lawn mower of mine, must be used only on my lawn!"

I I 0 ' 5. Friday: Dessert for Friday might include Apple Crisp-goes like this: Best: two eggs well. and gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Sift. togeth- er two-thirds cup of flour, 1-4 tsp. salt and 21.: tsps. baking pow- der. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Mix well. Fold in one cup chopped apples which have been peeled and cored, one cup chopped walnuts, and 2 tsps. vanilla. Pour into a greased glass baking dish. sprinkle top with 1-2 cup shredded coconut. Bake in a moderate oven t350rF.) 30 min- utea. Cut into squares and serve with heavy or. whipped cream.

6. Saturday: How about this recipe to top oi! Saturday's baking spree? It's called Walnut Clusters: 1-2 cup soft butter or shortening, 1-2 cup sugar. 1 egg, 1'4 tspe. va- nilla. 1'.-. squares unsweetened melted chocolate, 1-2 cup sifted flour, 1-4 tsp. baking powder. 1-2 tsp. salt. Mix as usual. adding walnuts last. Drop by spoonfuls on greased baking sheet. Bake in atmoderate oven t350”F.) 10 min- u es.

UNDER the impetus of I very active Lunar transit, great things may be expected to happen, with very progresive and telling effect on promoting objectives in oo- operatlon with influential and high-powered associates. Ideas. plans and propositions of mori- than passive value should find capital and enthusiastic endorse- ment, with enhanced personal pop- ularity and prestige. But take such benefits in stride, and do not try to force issues.

Tliirsf For Knowledge May Conceal Reluctance To Earn A Living

DEAR MISS DIX: After supporting my husband for the first six years of our married life. is It unreasonable for me to ElSl( lilm to take some kind of paying position, rather than continue with several more years of graduate work?

He is now. 35, and has turned down several jobs in order to con- tinue medlciil research. I have been caring for a baby and working full time with no help whatsoever from liliii. I am now nt the point of complete exhaustion. However, he feels that his work comes be- fore his family, my lie.-ilth, or his son's security.

How can ! convince liliii that he has an obliga- tion to his wife and child? I tried a separation oncc. hoping it would jolt him into getting a job. but he scarcely seemed to notice I was gone. Dur- ing that time his only letter to me was a bill he wished me to pay for equipment. I love him still. but am-afraid I am nothing to him but a "meal ticket."

T. A. I.

ANSWER: Your husband is. to put it bluntly, scared etlff to face the practical conditions of a modern working world. and is taking refuge in the mum laboratory. Here, in his medical holy of boiler, he ' is safe from intrusion. safe from responsibility. He doesnt have to battle crowds each morning to get on a bus, or at noonilme to grab A meal in a crowded restaurant. No clock-punching. no salary to collect. All that work is left to you, while hubby. in the guise of a struggling scientist searching for formulae that will en- rlc: ghekworld. lives his placid existence surrounded by test tubes an oo l.
