‘HMDEAR MISS DIX:

Iamaworaanidyearsold. Hsvsbeenmar-

five years and we are sweating our first baby soon. over which. of course. thfilrc is great rejoicing. But here's the fly in the oint-

IHEIILZ

My mother, o. widow 5o years old and financially well off, has

the habit of running in to see how I am every day,

and she has announced that. she is going to take cue of the baby for me when it comes and until it is ready to go to school. She intends staying in my house all day and Just going to her home, which is two blocks way. at night.

She says that young people are careless and do not know how to manage, and that since she rear- ed two ehilcien she is better fitted to take care of a baby than I am. But my husband says no; that we are as intelligent as the average person,

and he thinks it is our duty and our privilege to bring up our ciuldlren as we see fit. and that when we need Mother's

iclp we can all: for it.

What ls your unbiased opinion of the situation.

HOPEFUL

ANSWER; I think you have come to a crisis in your life, and that. unless you have enough backbone to make your mother realize. once and for all. that this is going to be your baby and not hers, and that you are going to rear it according to your theories about how to bring up a child, that your whole marriage will go on the rocks. For your hudoand certainly is not going to be Just s stooge in his own house {who plays second fiddle to mother-in-lsw, yet I have seen that hap-

pen often enough.

KILLS PATERNAL INSTINCT

I have seen plenty of grandmothers take possession of the new ‘nhy and refuse to let the proud young father even touch it. and if there is any way to kill the paternal instinct in a man, that turns the trick. Many a man, who would have made a fine and devoted father, never even gets acquainted with his children. Grandma has taken

r

his job sway from him.

Grandmothers are not intentional trouble-makers in their chil- dren's fanuiies. 1t is Just that they are so sure that they know best about everything on earth. and that they never realize that their sons and daughters grow up and have enough intelligence to manage their own affairs. To save their lives they can't. keep their fingers out of their children's pies. and especially they can't keep their hands off a

bzvby.

4 And that is why pannta laould never go live with their children if it can possibly be avoided. and why young fathers and mothers

I know posi-

tively that what I feel is not a passing fancy. It is real love. and he has told me that he feels the same way about me.

Please help ma. N.

DISOONTINW.

ANSWER: The reason that you are unhappy and discontented is because you are forcing your age, and it has made you a. little nervous wreds. No girl of l5 should be allowed to go out every night to places of amusement, and dance and think and have love affairs with boys. She isinotmorally, physically. or mentally fitted for the strain. and so it. is no wonder that you are a cry-baby and that your mother is

worried about you.

The pity of it is that she didn't begin worrying about you when you were five years old instead of fifteen. If she had kept you the child that you were. instead of becoming the little gadabout she is let-ting you be. you would be happy and healthy playing around with other girls of your age and interested in your studies, instead of being a pitiful little neurotic who is old before her time.

Ellen 's Diary

lyalldanllhlmdailh

"I wish. Ellen" James laid to one this evening “that you'd shut that blamed radio off! It's mumbling away there and I can't seem to get. to sleep - for all I do feel pretty drowsy." He was on the couch at the time, rather weary. I know. from battling the storm as well as the choring: the high and gusty wind and the snow that belonged to March but came from April's strange stores, Windows are mask- ed in white now, and since noon, when ‘the first flakes were blown to us slcng the fields, we st Al- derlea have been isolated by the snowfall and restless drifts. "Ycuwe no idea what it's like outdoors. EZ- len!" James remarked when he came indoors at mid-afternoon snowy from head to toe. I found out to my discomfort later when I went in search of the creamer deposited this morning in a rem- nant of snow in the garden.

More lovely than a work of fic- tion, and beautiful in its very truth is "the quarter century of romance" celebrated by the King and Queen in London-town today, on the occasion of their silver wed- ding. Troublous times has been their lot, yet through it all, their married life has been an inspira- tion and an example which could reach out to their humblest sub- jects. After all. love in a cottage can be equally - or perhaps more enduring. than love in a castle: And today. their ideal home life was brought to the attention of the Nation and their enjoyment of the simple pleasures that so often are passed by, or carelessly toss- ed aside by many in their quot for happiness . . . a walk along a quiet country lane with their fam- ily; sn evening by the fire; wor- ship in s. country church. the very things that many a one more fa- vored considers as merely hum- drum, forgetting what rare privi- leges the like may be.

I O O

There was that episode of the lost creamer containing with cer- tain exceptions the wealth of the morning milking, which by evening was buried beneath s depth of snow. "You should have thought about it long before this" James called to me from the shelter of the piggery and his voice was thin and twisted by the buffetings of wind and drift. Warmly dressed, L shcveiied vigorously in an attempt to find it. though by this the ap- pearance of the place had chang- ed. Cubic foot of snow after cubic foot of it came sway while winds that howled and threatened came over fields and wood. At last in a session of work which later James termed "only exercise" the cover gleamed. Then laying aside the shovel, with s mighty tug I wrenched it free. "You got it, Ei- len" James called "I was just com- ing to help you!" There was then no need to tell him, so full of con- cerns as he is. that I carried s..\ empty vessel. In some way, due to lack of careful stewardship I sup- pose. the contents had leaked a- way, Jook chuckled about it; Jeanie laughed . . . James hangs up ms cap now to say: "No lamb yeti Th: Wind's dying-some." And "I be- lieve I'd like s. glass or two of milk now Ellen, it's good when it comes cold from the creamer!" Until tomorrow - Diary -Good- night.

Q. How can I remove scratches frnzn furniture? A. Use equal quantities of best

salad oil and vinegar; mix and bottle, and shake well before using. Dip s. soft rag into the mixture and rub well ilnito the wood, Equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine are also good. Beeswax can be used to fill cracks in furniture.

Q. I; it injurious to moisten the hair with water too frequently?

A. Yes; if this is done too often it causes the hair to become harsh and dry. making it break easily. can I use as a substi- ln puddings?

A. Om teaspoonful of gelatinc dissolved lm not. milk is a good substitute for two eggs when mas- ing puddings or cake.

THE OPTIMIST

No matter how much rain comes down

Or how the wind may blow.

The robin sings his cheery song,

That all the world may know

He still remains an optimist

Despite the state of things;

For he has bucked fierce winds be- fore

And flown with rain-soaked wings.

At any hour the wind will drop, And it won't always rain, And if the worms are hard to purl Well. he just pulls again. so ivhy not try the robin's plan And optimistic be? Have faith. work hard, and keep your word.

Then happy you will be.

DISHWASHEIVS LAMENT

NEW YORK - The average housewife spends about 57 eight- hour working days at the kitchen sink each year washing at least 47,000 dishes, 15.000 silverware pieces. and a mountain of puts and pans

A scientific approach to dish- washing can cut sink time 25 to 50 per cent. says Dr. Elaine Knowles Weaver, associate professor cf home economics at Ohio State Univer- sity. Here are some of her sugges- ted time savers:

Keep dishwashing in mind when building or renovating a kitchen. Select easy-to-clean materials such as ceramic tile for drainbcsrds and walls, around sink. Plan a drain- board on each side of the sink. Pedal operated faucets and cab- inets wlthin reach of the sink save motion.

Each day, plan dishwashing when the meal is planned: use utensils that double as serving dishes - glass and pottery. shiny pots and pans, aluminum broilers. Don't dry dishes: rinse well with lot water and leave them in a drainer covered with s dry tea towel. Wash with a vegetable brush —it.'s speedier and more sanitary.

TREES SAVE SHOES

Shoes kept on trees will hold their shape longer and better. Tree them immediately after removing before the warm moisture from your feet dries and "sets" wrinkles and bulges.

WITH BITS OF WOOL

Knitters who always like to have a piece of work on hand often find that after a time they have a collection of odds and ends of wool left over from various things.‘ A splendid idea is to use these to make a hot-water bottle cover.‘ knitting the odds and ends into strips. which may then be joined together. Make the cover either lcngwise, sewing the strips togeth- er by hand, or, better still, hori-

CATTY REMARKS TOO OFTEN MADE

Cattincss is a characteristic a woman attributes to other women, never to herself, declares a woman commentator.

Here's n. little test to help rec ognize cattiness in yourself if there's any there. of course.

Whan praising something belongs to someone'else do tack on the phrase, “if you that sort of thing?"

When commenting on the youth- ful looks of another woman do you add. “for her age?"

When your husband

tlisi you like

comments

on another woman's good looks do you point out how much she spends for her clothes, or that

she dyes her hair. or that she isn't as young as she looks?

Dc you ever deliberately take away another woman's pleasure in a new possession by pointing out that it's beautiful but you're afraid it isn't very practical?

Catty Prefaeea

Do you often preface your re- marks about others with, "Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but . . ."

When another woman's charm or "Personally I haven't. a thing against her but . . .?"

When praising another person do you let a note of surprise in your voice hint that you really never expected the person to do so well?

yvhen another woman's charm or intellect is receiving favourable comment do you drag 1n the 9n tirely irrelevant comment, "It's a. pity she isn't. more attractive look- ing?"

Watch your own conversation f0: these remarks if you want to know whether or not you lnduIBB in catty comments.

It is known that llhG commonest place in the nose where bleeding occurs is at the lowest pant of the septum (the tissue that divides the nose into the two nostrils). ‘Ilhis is easily seen and the bleeding can be stopped by pressure on this spot by a finger or some absorbent cot- ton or gauze on the end of a small stick or match,

In the "Canadian Medical As- sociation Journal." Dr. J. K. M. Dickie, Ottawa. states that while simply pressing on the bleeding spot _stops the bleeding, this ‘s “one of the hardest facts to gel. over to patients with frequent" nosebleeds. It is necessary to hold the ‘whole’ soft part of the nose between the finger and thumb and to keep it firmly compressed for ‘at. least five minutes."
