Derethy Dix Says-

Don’t Quote Mother!

lrldas Advised. n Avert Troulilely llot tilting Parent To Hubby

l1 I could give one piece of advice to a bride more earnest then any other, it would be:

Never quote your mother's opinion to your husband. Listen to it if you must. Act upon it if you will. But don't ever be dumb enough to throw what "Mother says" in your husband's teeth, unless you are marrying with one eye on the divorce court.

Mother may be a, female soiomon. she may be a wizard who can spread a dollar bill over ten dollars’ worth of merchandise. She may be a born executive. She may know all the answers and be a hundred times more competent to manage a bridal couple's af- fairs than they are.

It doesn't matter whether Mother is right or wrong, silly or wise, the one thing that no young husband can take lying down is for his wife to set Mother up as the family oracle, and the minute the starry-eyed bride begins telling Friend Husband that Mother says we should do this, or we shouldn't do that. that instant another marriage ls headed

Aa-

>E§Aru7 1.

for the rocks

Probably no other domestic situation is fraught with such danger as that in which Mother begins dishing out advice to the newlyweds. For she is rushing in where angels fear to tread, and if she doesn't succeed in messing up her children's marriages, it is a miracle.

UNINTENTIONAL

Not that Mother is deliberately a home-wrecker. Not at all. She is horrified when Sally or Susie quarrels with her husband and comes back home with the baby. and she would deny it bitterly if accused of having been first aid to her daughter's divorce.

Brut it is true, nevertheless, that mothers are the ones who chief- ly dlsliluslon their daughters about their husbands. When Sally gets married. she sees her husband as the hero of. her girlish dreams until MMTR 90111495 810118 and begins stripping his halo from him until she doesn't leave him with a single attraction that a. wife can hang her love on.

Many and many a woman would never find out that her husband is just a plain business man. instead of a. romantic Fairy Pﬁncg 11 her mother didn't point out his defects to her. Many a \vife loses her taste for her husband just because Mother is always making fun of his grammar and the way he eats and his taste in neckties. And the queer part about this is that Mother doesn't intend to wreck 1-m-

daughtcrs marriage. She just can't bear not to be first with her Chil- dren.

Prevent Discoloration

Costume jewelry which tends to discolor and bracelets and watches which tend to stain the skin can be remedied by coating the contact surface with some colorless nail polish.

Puddings

O\'\‘\A'\\Q'\\’k_. THE STARS SAY-FOR JUNE l2 For Wednesday, June 9

THE aluguries for this day em- phaslze concentrated, well-organ- ized and executed plans and proj- octs, based on a foundation of last- ing and far-reaching results. This should be instrumental in estab- lishing basic security and concrete objectives for the future as well as the present. Diligence, patience, astute and studied action should win support frcm those in high places who are ready to recognize merit and reward it. Personality likewise counts for mluch in this, although an undercurrent of dup- Ullity or subtlety could create oom- pllcatiohs. Beware misplaced con- fidence. » For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it ls are esured of sound openings for work- 108. by concentrated efforts, indus- try and shrewd tactics. for future basic security. Far-seeing and adroitplmns, with studied goals and objectives, could attract substantial encouragement from those in in- fluential positions. ready to give opportunity and reward for merit and sterling efforts. While the use 0f personality, charm, cultural or social graces might have weight in such conclusions as well. there is hazard of subtle or sinister compli- cations. calling for uprlgiht and open dealings to gain any sort of lasting returns. Crafty. scheming or intriguing plots or lures. even innocent misplaced conﬁdence. could prove regrettable and detri- memtal to all sound efforts.

A child born on this day. while having sound qualitieffor success. could be easily lured by flattery. in- trigues or over-confidence in ques- tionable quarters.

When a man accepts an invita- tion to a party. he also assumes the obligation to help his hostess make a success of the party. The men who retire to a corner to talk shop or politics are proving discourteous to their hostess.

SEVERE ASTHIVIATIC ATTACKS

One of the things that upsets all the household is io watch one of the members during an attack of asthma. Though it is some relief to know that the attack will pass away in tine. watching the loved one light for air is a distressing sight. While nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate. injections of adrenalin usually will stop most atucks, severe attacks really require hospital treatment.

In the "Journal of the American Medical Association," Dr. L. l1). Prick-man, Mayo Clinic, states that a patient with severe asthma can best be treated im a hospital. Pat- ients. who are afraid or panic stricken because of the great dif- ficulty of gating their breath. re- spond favorably to new surround- ings. _

The hospital room should have no rugs. drapes, stuffed furniture. fea- ther pillows or feather mattress. Dust-proof covers should be avail- able fcr pillows and mattresses. Rlubber foam or air pillows may he used. The daily cleansing of the paiient's rocm is best done with a damp cloth. No sweeping should be done where the patient suffers with hay fever also; a pollen ﬁlter should be used. lTansc-ms, doors and win- dows should be kept closed when the pollen filter is being used. The room should be kept at an even temperature and free from drafts, smoke, and furnace fumes.

The drug recommended is am- inophyllinei njected into a vein, as ii; relaxes dr loosens the spasm of the bronchial tu-bes and the tiny bronchial tubes or broncihioles.

To loosen the plug of mucous which prevents the escape of used air from the lungs. the iodides are considered best as they break down this cheesy or mucous plug.

The thought is not that all eases of asthma need hospital care. as most of the attacks can be stopped by a'r.nple methods: but in severe at- tacks. where the patient and fam- ily are anxious or greatly upset. hospital care is advisable.

The suggestion regarding eur- tains. drapes. stuffed furniture. avoiding sweeping and dusting should and can often be carried out in the home.

Ellen ’s _ Diary

gunner-mama

‘rhere was no washing spread in sunshine this morning, neither has there been further gardening dons- in the new earth, where by rights every seed should have been plent- ed by this. for all was damp 1nd sodden there. This last day of May has been rainy as well as twenty of the rest. Quoting from today's paper in regard to the holiday yes- terday which bad been looked for- ward to with great anticipation by all and has been most disappoint- ing "nearly two inches of rain fell without letup, from 6.30 a. m. throughout the day." This, of course lessened much the activities planned for it. as was most notic- able in the relatively smell stream of traffic that flowed past this door. However despite the rain "thousands paid reverent tribuh in their war dead."

I l O Again quoting: ‘Rain yesterday washed out much of the start of Rhoda Is-

land's two-day Memorial Day ob- servance" and today as well many parades and services were cancell- ed when no sight of fair weather had come by noon. The President. Mr. Truman, speaking yesterday before a great crowd at Memorial Day services in the historic Arling- ton National Cemetery yesterday said: ‘All over the world today meetings such as this are being held to commemorate the services our men and women rendered for the freedom of the world, for the freedom of the individual, and for the right to live in peace as we choose to live, to think what we please. and to control our own government as we please." Read- ing his words. one was proud of the ideals of all such democratic countries, which at once make theirs a free people and akin. To- night beneath clearing but dark skies the great holiday is drawing to its close. O e We enjoyed s dinner of chicken this evening by way of remember- ing the hoiiday— chicken with po- tato and brown gravy and if. from the scone I missed the rare looks of understanding that at such a time passes between Jamie and his grandfather when a request for the gizzard to be used as an appetizer has been granted I did not men- tion it. Neighboring the potatoes was a wealth of other vegetables- the Americans offer so many at a. meal! Yesterday we enJoyed the strange flavor of egg plant. We conjectured about how it got is name as we watched sister-to-us slicing and consignlng it to salted water in the same way that at Al- derlea we prepare cucumbers though James suspicious of their digestibility is bound the prepara- tions should end there. or should never have commenced! I O O

Inter it was dipped in beaten egg and bread crumbs and fried. "Why ii. tastes like fish!" one said savoring the dish "like srmelts." But I found it even stronger ﬂavor- ed, more I decided, like the trout that Jamie and I drew from the pond one day last month. ' I I O

Since we could indulge in no out- side interests today because of the continued rain and dampness. we passed it all too quickly in read- ing. though there were the occa- sions when prevailing conversation turned one’s thoughts, from this. We picked up "Eliza" by Patricia Campbell, caught by its title, to find it a tale of the Northwest and of pioneer living there. One felt the vastness of the place. the loneli- ness tc, but found the fragrance of her woods, the freshness of her shores and tasted the magic oi her ways. Much like "Mrs. Mike" it read or "Cimarron." Very cozy we are here this evening. the glow- ing coals of the logs in the fire- place making one forget that out- doors the nlght is cold. O O O

Remembering the chill of it one might forget too that the Hiy- month is leaving and the lovely June-month now treads on her train. May brought perfumed flow- ers of the name to green nooks and new clover to the front meadow. It sent the ewes and their playful lambs to the stump-field and set farmers to cilltiveting land in the seedtime. Daily one found new shoots reaching out from earthy beds and rose from searching ‘there to catch the sparkle of stir-light that had found its was‘ back to the mill pondIWe enjoy May but now that we consider how swift- passing will be its days. there is only one June in a year of months. "Why, June comes tonight!" some-
