Now for carving the white meatf of the breast. The expert says it is important to make a deep in- cision into the side of the bird jus‘ above the wing bone and at rivlv angles to the breast bone. ‘Then carve the breast downward anti! outward from the bane as far as the deep incision made before ycu start slicing.

For each new slice of the breast. the knife starts a little higher on the breast. Serve slices of white and dark meat in equal propor- tions. Your knife must be as sharp as a razcr, the platter large enough for free movement and you should have extra warm plates nearby on which to lay the slices of turkey as carved.

When pressing a knitted gamient before sewing together it is often difficult to hold the curled edges down whilst pressing under a damp cloth. If the edges are pinned firmly to the ironing cloth every few inches the task l-s made much easier.

They haven't learned their trade. They don't know how to kee house. cook, market or run a. budset- They are lust as. ignorant of ow to housebreak a husband as they are of how to tame a, lion.

Another thing that is the matter withwives is that their husbands so seldom give them the glad hand. No other laborer on earth toils so many hours a da as does the domestic woman who does her own cook- ing, washing, sewing, mending and baby-tending. but her husband rarely gives her any credit for performanlg herculean tasks that would give hlm a case of nervous pmstraton.

On the contrary, he assumes that she leads a life of idleness and ease. and often expresses the wi h that he had it soft as she does. Now it is human nature to long for appreciation, w want the stimulus of praise for work well done. as the reason many a wife slacks down in he"

The reason that many wives slump and lose all the charms for which their husbands married them is because their husbands do not play up to them. A wile can't go on being romantically in love with a man who treats her as if she were ju tVa useful household gadget. Nor can she put much enthusiasm into a kss that she has to proffer herself and that lands on his cheek or the bald spot on his head instead of his lips.

Nor can she be sparkling and entertaining when her wlttlest sollies only-urln forth an “umlzh" from the stuffed shirt behind a newspaper. And wha '5 the use of dressing up for a. man who never knows whether she has on a Paris frock or a sloppy kmono? Ninety-nine times out of 100 it is cniy after husbands have ceased to regard their wive’ gs Lacy Loves thrt they give up the fight to keep themselves attractive and to make marriage something more than an endurance contest.

Finally, of course, there are many wives who are lazy and trifling and selfish, who are that way because they know that marriage is a lob from which it ls extremely dlrflcult to fire u, wife. They treat their husbands with an insoleiice with which they would not have dared treat the-r hos.- es in the days when they worked in a store or office. They do not work to earn the money they waste. They do not try Io make their husbands They are grafters because their husband; cannot d themselves of them without scandal and divorce.
