Hen Doi1’t Really Mind Being Worked by

Women; They Object Only to the Raw Way in Which it is Generally Done- So it is a Wise Wife Who Never Exposes Her Hand

Should a. wife put all of hrr cards upon the table’!

Jll.

as far as she can. One of the chief reasons that husbands get tired of their wives is because they know them too ivell. By thc time a man has been married to the average woman for six months sh. has turned out her whole little bag of tricks for him and has nothing new left up her sleeve with which to startle and divert him. Worse still, she has shown him the secret of how she does her conjuring. He knows exactly how she will icacf to every situation“ He can anticipate with dead» ly accuracy just what she will say on every sub- lect. He even knows what she thinks and thinks she thinks. Wherefore, only too often, he yawns

a few tlmcs in her face and begins casting a rov- I

mi; eye about in search oi‘ a strange woman.

For the one thing that men crave above all others in women is nov- olty.. It. is the unknown that piques their curiosity and rouses their spirit of adventure. Let any new girl go into a community and she takes all the bcuux and dates away from the local girls. They may be better-looking, more intelligent, more charming than she is, but she has the lurc of novelty, and that is a knockout every time with men.

Alon cease to notice the profile oi.’ Laura, which has been a familiar sight to them since they made mud pies with her in the kindergarten. ‘llicy take Susan's entertaining line of conversation and Jauey's sports- maiulmi for grimlcd because they are accustomed to them, but they arc bowled over by the eyes that they look into for the first time or the fresh line of attractions that some stranger presents. That is why girls have to go away from home so often in order to rind husbands.

And it is why so many wives lose out, for by no means is the wife nlivays old and fat and friinipy and the “other ivonian” young and slim and Chic. Just as often as not the wife is more puichritudinous and llring-skeletoiiisli and better dressed than the ladylove, but the trouble is that one is a picture puzzle that he has solved and the other is one that he has to yet work out, and that is what fixes his fancy.

Probably at the bottom o! most of the side-stepping of husbands '

is borvrlorn. The ctcmal fiat monotony of domesticity gets upon their nerves" and they feel they must have change or die. They are married to vimnen who have let marriage get into a rut, and, as somebody has }>‘."ll1!‘.' said. ilic only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

‘llicrv lS nothing alluring in that. Nothing to keep a man popped no 1nd eager to go back of an evening to a wife who has never changed Liie vuajv sh: combs hcr hair nor made an original remark since they were muriritwi.

11.11:." .1 mun vmmdcic away from his own fireside simply and solely me lllL; wile has lct lic-rscll become a thrice-told talc. She never , -. hie with any varlctyn Slic never puts on a gay dress by Way 0! l-lumge for dinner. She never tells a funny story. She has never read ‘Ling book. Ho knows before she begins to speak that she is m w" "- iii» some. litany of domestic worries that she docs every w: ll.i‘ about how hard she has worked, and how troublesome the n. haw: been, and the awful price of butchers‘ moat, cto, etc., ail And there will be the same old things to eat~rcast on Sun- ilwy, C011 on Nlonday, hashcd on Tuesday.

‘in woiulva" that mcn, who from time immcmorlal have risked their l and endured cvcryi hardship to explore new countries, so often find ‘he dczvl lcvcl of lilarriuge, every nook and corner of whose terrain they llntr-x’ by heart and m which there is never even a change in temper- rturc. uiicnciui-ablc.

Ururt: a Wrf.’ clcvi-i" man said to mc that his ideal of a perfect wile \\.'i.'~ our: who Could be married to a man for forty years without his cvcl‘ lllldillf! out ivlicthci" her complexion was her own or whether she bought it at the drug store. And this was only another way of saying that a. ever woman kept herself attractive to her husband, and how she dzd it “'11:; her own trade secret which she didn't give away to him.

Not many women have this subtlety, or will take thetrouble to do this. They dlsilluslon their husbands by leaving all of their make-up off in daily life. and this applies to manners and conduct as well as their laces. They lfudgcmi their husbands into walking the straight arid

L . - w pull] with tbc stick of duty instead of making it a primrose path : ‘ m; wlntli they lure them. They don't even bother to oll up the dom- r"‘l': machinery with a little flattery so that it Will run smoothly instead ni creaking and groaning as it goes.

Anti that is" why husbands arc so hard to manage. For men don't really mind lacing; worked by women. They only Obicfit to the raw WW in which it is generally done. And they don't wan‘. to soc the wheels go round by which they arc ground into submission.

S0 it is tho wise wife who never puts her cards on the table, but. who Always keeps a trump or two in reserve that she can play in need. She RCPDE herself an interesting riddle that. hcr husband ncvcr quite solves.

She never tells him all she thinks. i101‘ evorYl-hlfl! 511 (1065. and he knows that there are secret chambers in her heart and soul that. he has ncvci" explored, and that makes her a perpetual fascination to him. .

MENTAL HEALTH

To meet the problems of every- dlly life as they arise requires a healthy manta] attitude. It is a test of. mental health to whether the individual successfully meets the strains of social. domes- tic and economic life, or whether he shows, in some or other, the beginnings of abnormal behaviour. 311ml"! 17811188 are forever react- ing to the influences of environ- ment. These reactions are seen in their emotional as well o5 their physical response. Just as there arc different degrees of physical dlfiibillty, so also there are individ- uaLs who show varying degrees of ‘emotional moi-adjustment.

f The fcuiidatcns of mental health

arc laid down in childhood. It is

the responsibility of thc parents,

chiefly the mother, to see that the Earl)’ lessons of behaviour are cor- "BUY taught. The jealousics, tamper tantrums and unhealthy

attachments of early life, to men- tion only a few items, are largely

preventable. I! they are not; pre-

vBhl-cd. they may lead to even sreater problems during adoles.

cencc and maturity. Threats, scold-

ings. naggings and whlppings are

never effective in correcting an undesirable trait. They often con- tribute to secluslveness, extreme sensltivcness and even delinquen-

cies.

i The insistent: by "parents that

a child do as well at school as the child next door, or. in other ways, the holding up o.’ a standard that

is unattainable for one whose in- tellectual capacity is only average is bound to reflect itself in feel- ings of inferiority. We need not

ivonder that such an individual later cuts himself off completely from his friends and becomes sell- centred in his thoughts. Eventually further deviations from the nor- mal may occur, until the unhappy victim is shunned by former friends and designated as "queer" by all and sundry.

The whole situation as regards abnormal behaviour has changed! materially during recent years. Due to the work of mental hygiene 1n‘- stitutes and child guidance clinics in the large centres, and increas- ing interest everywhere, mental disorders are being viewed from a

new angle. Careful analysis has shown that the majority of cases

of mental dcrangcments are pure-i

ly functional and have their origin in faulty hablls and undesirable personality trails, dating from childhood and adolescence.

There is need for s. general broadeirng of sympathy for those who suffer from affections of the mind, and there is a like need for preventive measures to be put into

‘early practice if the best results are to be achieved.

QUESTION.‘ I have had such

ivndld 2 I'll-i with every recipe

1.1!. I have taken from your page hat I decided to write and ask you i.‘ you would kindly publish the way lo pickle pigs’ feet. It is the exact "may they are pickled for sale at the various shops that I require. At the riihlc time would you publish the recipe for honey tarts as sold at the nanieetioners. I have tried to make lie honey filling at various times, out they certainly are not the least little bit like the filling in the tarts one buys. Thanking you and look- ing forward to seeing these recipes soon. I am. Lillian, St. Lambert.

ANSWER: This recipe is at least as good as that used for making ‘pickled pigs’. feet in the stores, but may not be exactly the san

i

Pickled Pigs Feet

Fbur good sized boiled pigs‘ feet "with hooks. 1 quart strong vinegar, '4 bay leaves. 1 tablespoon whole "cloves. 1 tablespoon broken cinna- mon bark. 1-4 cup salt, 3 teaspoons

blade mace. Scrape. singe, j and

hop; I Association, 184 College Street, To- i clean the feet carefully. and cover

them with hot water. Boil slowly until the meat will separate from |thc bones (5 or o hours.) then ‘take tlirm up carefully on a skim- mer, and place thorn in aistone jar, taking out the largest bones-Bet. the water aside in a. cool place to be used later. Place the vinegar over the heat, add all the flavorings and allow to steep slowly for 45 minutes. but do not let. the vinegar boil rapidly at any time, merely simmer. Remove the cake of fat from top ol mEEt water and add about 1 quart. of it to the vinegar. Strain the liquid through a. slevc to remove spices, and pour it over the meat in the crock, and stir carefully so that all the meat is immersed in the liquid. Leave for 2 days bciorcusing. ‘ '

Honey Tarts

There seems to be a. scarcity of honey tart recipes but this one certainly gives a delicious product. As I am not familiar with the tarts you mention I hopc you will find this one satisfactory.

Line muffin tins with light flaky plain paste and fill with following mixture; 1 cup well drained shred- ded pineapple. 1-4 cup honey. 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon but- ter, 1 tablespoon pineapple juice.

Specialise contributed a; The Guardian m! Guardian Roadiro. i

the moat add more water-it should wreaths meat at all times-tho meat may be weighted down to ao- oomblish this. If the brine shows 518ml of fermenting during the cur- ins process, it should be drown ofl. boiled and, cooled and poured back on the meat. The bacon" will be cured in from 4 to awecks. If it, is to be smoked the smoking is done fitter the curing is complete.

Tho precaution to be taken to Prevent fruit juice from boiling out of jars are to use a small amount o! waterin the waterless cooker (lust as we rocoinnvend placing tho jars in a pan with an inch of water when they are sterilized in the oven): and to thoroughly pre- heat the fruit and juice before placing in the hot startle jars, while they are still boiling hot. ’I‘his pre- vious cooking liberates much of the air contained in the fruit. and thus the jai- is full of fruit and space is not wasted~besldes the sterility of fruit is much surer.

QUESTION: I am coming to you with my problem. I read your cooking lessons and think they are wonderfully helpful. A friend of mine is giving two large bridge parties-could help me out with suggestions as I am to help her. I would deem it a great favor if you would send me as soon as pos- sible a, recipe for a nice white cake, without too many eggs and also a nice chocolate cake, and a few recipes for frostlngs. B. D.

Tastes Hundreds " 0i Cups Tea. Daily

ouw WOMAN ‘was saluruazi: m coupon umss mm ‘WORK

Margaret Irving knows a good cup of tea when she tastes it.

She should be able w do s0 be- cause she has tasted a million cups of it. She is the only woman tea taster in London tEzigJ, and has been at the job for l7 years.

Miss Irving works fora wholesale tea house, and iii the _course of a day samples between 200 and 300 cups of tea.

“One would think it would affect the palate. but instead of that it improves it." Miss Irving said. "You are able to appreciate the rcal taste of various other things."

For from being tired of the sight of tea, lwlss Irving really ur- cs hei- jab. It means giving up cig- arettes and relinquishing perfum- es. but she doesn't mind.

Tons Depend 0n Her

Sh: tastes on an average thirty cups in teu ndnutes. but she doesn't drink the tea, only sips it.

Miss Irving's job would terrify the average housewife. On her dc- cision depends the fate of not quarters of pounds of tea but tons. ,

Nothing is lcftin- esswo aii-ithei art o! tea-tasting. Tea is brewed,

care being taken to see that thy water" is justbolllng. '

Water which has been previously boiled is useless. And for than

housewives who don't know hon"

long good tea should stand. the tel

tasters have la special clock which rings at. the end of six minutes. "The finest teas," said Miss Ir vlhg. "are grown at high altitudes» and the commoner teas at low altl

‘tildes. an expert can tell a. good tea

by its scent. and the look of it ever before tasting."

The Nose Knows

Mss Irving took up the job of '

taster iOllOWiflg' the retirement o, her sister on marriage. She start.- ed in the tea firm as clerk, ant was tlicn admitted into thc salci room. --

By constantly going to (‘llllifl samples of tea from various brok- ers shelearned tmdlstlngutsli thl different grades. She was tlicii lu- lllated into the secrets of “nosing
