Must Husbands and Wives Pretend Esteem

get it.

of stifling themselves Answer:

with a forced futility of falsity. J. B. D.

I must have expressed myself very badly, Nltr. J. B. D., ii’ I have given you the impression that I advocate insincerity between husbands and

wives. Nothing was farther from my intention. My plea is merely for husbands and wives to show to each other the

affection and admiration that I believe most oi them feel, instead of Just “U!!! it for granted that the party of the other part is aware oi their

sentiments and there is no use in mentioning the matter. In other words. 1 am pleading with husbands and wives to throw a. few bouquets at each other while they are alive instead of reserving them all for the funeral. .What makes the Joy and thrill oi courtship? Isn't it the mutual adulation that‘ a boy and girl give each other? Nobody else has ed- mired them very much, or thought them very wonderful, but suddenly the men discovers a woman who tells him how big and strong and handsome and clever he is, and who never wearies oi listening when he tells her about his adventures as a small boy with pale-green warts on his hands, ~and how he put over a big deal and what he said to the boss and the boss said to him.

And the woman is equally entranced by having a man sing a pean oi praise to her eyebrows, and tell her how wonderful she is and how differ- ent from all other women.

l

Deflaie the hot air from courtship and it would collapse like e punc- hiredballoon. No man would marry a. girl who told him that she con- sidered him a most ordinary-looking person oi mediocre intelligence and altogether too egotistical. Nor would any girl marry a man who in- formed her that she was rather trying on the eyes and slightly dumb as to her conversational line. but that she looked amiable and healthy and as if ehe might make a good cook.

Butthe wonder oi the "thing is that these lovers‘ fiatteries are not perjurles, nor are the lovers insincere in saying what they do to each other. How they do it a cold and callous world does not know, but they do see in each other the charms and virtues they exfcl.

And the thing that makes marriage so often a. failure is that when these two people get married they quit telling each other oi their love and admiration, which they still feel. For marriage does not always disillusion Many husbands and wives never realize how fine are those they married until they live with tilcm and see how bravely they inset the trials oi life. '

But what does it matter to the husband ii his wife regards him as a hero if Ehe never tells him so? He hungers and thirsts for her praise. What matters it to thewoman if her husband. looks upon her as a saint If he never mentions it? She etarves for the assurance that llc still loves her and puts her above all other women. i

I believe that very few marriages would be failures if husbands and wives would keep up the tactics or their courting days, and that is why I urge women especially to make themselves as good-looking as they can. to take an interest in their husbands‘ affairs and listen to them and tell them that they are etill the heroes oi their girlish dreams. And there is no insinoerity in that, for most women do admire their husbands and do think them wonders and world-heaters.

As to husbands and. wives telling each other the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the wisdom and even the riglltncss of that depends on circumstances. Certainly no good can be accomplished by telling each other the truth about their faults. I cannot think that it would make for the peace oi any household for the husband to tell his wife that she has grown fat, or that she talked too much. or that she was a bum cook. Nor for the wife to remind her husband that he had lost his boyish figure and most oi his hair, or that she had heard his pet story a thousand times.

John Hay once said that the most admired among us would die oi chagrin if we knew what those nearest and dearest to us really thought of m, DOROTHY DIX.

I O I

Dear Dorothy Dix-We are six girls, working in an office, and we hove been having anargument about refinement. Will you tell us ii you can discern by merely looking at a person if he or she ls refined? ls re- finemet Judged by the outward appearance or by manner? It a person is determined and has the means with which to accomplish it, can he or ehe acquire refinement? Is it fair to Judge a person by his appearance?

SIX GIRLS.

‘Answer: 1 guppodg you mean by refinement a certain delicacy in appearance and thought and action. This can express itseli either by one appear- gppa, o: by one‘s longtime and conduct, or by both. . j It is not always possible to Judge a. person's refinement by his or her "v i " because this look oi fineness may be merely the result oi one's meal build or taste in dress. For instance, a woman might look re- fined because she was slight in figure and had on an artistic dress, simple qd appropriate to the occasion, while inwardly she might be coarse and in her nature, even addicted to drink and vile iansllflle- 0n the er hand. a woman might be fat and blowzy and coarse and common- fipking and dressed in loud end flamboyant clothes and yet be highly cultured and exquisitely refined in every instinct. f. 389F117. refinement is one of the graces oi life that can easily be ac- by any one who so desires. You can ennoble your soul by think- fi beautiful thoughts, you can cultivate your mind and heart, you can m gentle speech and exquisite manners and you can learn how to fies. So there is no reason why any girl ‘ become a refined lady if

‘ii wishes. And it is a fine ehe worth-while ambition. .- noaornv mx

I 50W PERENNIAL SEEDS EARLY

Perennial seeds may be sown from now Up till-mid-June. but the earl- ier they are sown the more certain will be a display next year. new oi ithe perennials bloom the first year from seed, the larkspurs and plat- ycodons being two which will give a display from early sown sced this year. sow hardy perennials with" the earliest oi hardy annual secd and sumeas is much more certain next year. The longer the growing season, the larger and healthier wizl be the spikes of bloom next year. While many perennials sown Ln June or even as late as July will give blooming plants another year, only a portion of them will reach sui- ficient size to give characteristic display. The peach-lcnved beli- flower is one oi the popular peren- nials that must be sown early or it will wait two years before giving a display.

Plants which may be sown in June and July with the most cer- tain prospect of bloom next year are the various hardy pinks and sweet williams. Perennial larkspurs sown in June and July are amt; among those which will be reasonably sure to make good another year. Gaillardias are best sown as soon as the ground is workable. The bicnnials, such as the ioxgiovc, Canterbury bell, and chimney boll l flower need a long season to make strong healthy tufts. The height of the spire oi the foxglove is depend- ent on the sac oi the rosette of leaves it makes this year so sow it early.

Perennial poppies need an early start and transplanting as soon as they have made two leaves to be- come bloomers another season. ’lhey must be moved when very small or they are almost impossible to trans- plant without losing a large per- centage oi them. They must be caught before they have sent their taproot down too far.

Collunbines £110 best started now. Press the ground firmly ovcr tilc seed and germination will be in- creased and speeded up considerab- . All perennials are better for early sowing, and the order should go in with the list of animal seeds.

seasonality: mops ARE snwsrs ncsr

It is the responsibility of the home-maker, now more than over, to acquaint herself with what the markets have provided for her. Knowledge oi both food values and human needs coupled with ingen- uity and much thought will make it possible to combine economy with nourishment.

Seasonable foods will always be found best and cheapest. Clover seasoning often makes it possible to use the some foods many times in succession without danger of monotony. Baked carrots for lun- chcon and grated raw carrots in the dinner salad have no suggestion oi sameness but healthful and econ- omical food is supplied for two meals. A definite saving is affected by buying in quantity.

Milk is the food which stands first on the list of foods essential to‘ health. when supplied in ade. qllatc amounts, the diet may he

Meat Substitute

When eggs are cheap they make an excellent meat substitute. Cheese also can be used in place of meat. The combination of dried beans and milk is as adequate a source oi pro- tein as beef-steak and costs about one-fourth as much. And as for minerals and vitamins, the milk and beans are more efiicient than the steak. d If fresh fruits and vegetables are of inferior quality involving much waste, canned ones can be uscd with economy and equal satisfac- tion. Wilty and imperfect fresh products‘ ere of less food value than those canned in perfect ireshnes and maturity.

There are certain vegetable rules to follow when serving different kinds of meat. Peas with lamb; potatoes with beef". string beans with pork. Of course, you may serve other vegetables loo, but these are considered beet bot-h by dietitians and etiquette experts.
