Af THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Solving the Problem of the Too-Long Engage- ment—Can a Wife Ever Learn to Trust Again . the Husband Who Has Been Unfaithful? EAR DOROTHY DIX: I was engaged to be married to a splendid young man, but, unfortunately. circumstances arose which made him the sole supporc of his father, mother and sister. Our engagement dragged on for five years untiI finally became terribly discouraged, and the only solution to the problem seemed for me to step out entirely and leave him to his people. Now I realize what he meant to me and that I had better have continued the engagement, no matter how long I have to wal I have been so heartbroken that I have been staying at home in the evening in order to avold the questions of my friends. My family urge me to get out and make new acquaintances and forget him, but I find that my old friends are marrled, or keeping company, which makes me feel like a third party. Then, where can a young girl g0 except to the movies without an escort? 5 T have a very good position, but of late I find myself star-gazing and drifting from my work to such an extent that I feel that I will have to resign trom my job. Do you think it would be wise for me to throw myself at the merey of my former fiance, and ask him to forgive me, telling him that I realize my mistake, or to try to forget the past? REGRETFUL. Answer: 1f you are still as much in love with the young man as your letter implies, the only thing for you to do is to have a frank, heart-to-heart talk with him, and find out if he stlll cares for you, and desires to re- establish the oid relations. Pride should never be permitted to ruin a life, or to stand between people who have a sincere affection for each other. But before you ask your ex-sweetheart to take you back you should have a very frank and honest session with your own soul, and be very sure that you love this man well enough to make any sacrifice for him. For, apparently, he has no more to offer you now than he had when you broke off with him. He still has his family burden on his back. Your wedding day will still be an interminably long time off, and there is nothing that is filled with more heartaches and anxiety, nothing that is moré nerve-wearing to a woman than one of these long-drawnrout engagements that may end in a wedding only when she is an old woman, with all the fire, and passion, and romance of her youth outlived. It seems to me that you have allowed yourself to get into a very morbid state of mind, and that what “you need is to brace up. Quit pitying | yourselt. Use a little will power. Quit star-gazing.

My husband had an affair with another woman. He has given this other woman up, and is very repentant. I have forgiven him, but am very unhappy because my trust in him has been shattered. Do you think that I cin ever get back my faith in him? A READER. Answer: Not in its entirety, my sorrowing sister. Something precious and beautiful has gone out of your relationship with your husband that nothing that he can do, nor that you can do, will ever bring back, any more than you could make whole agaln a crystal vase that had been shattered, or restors freshness to the flower that has been dragged In the dust. T do not mean by this that vour husband will not deserve your trust A burnt child dreads the fire, and many a man and woman get such a lessor from thelr wrongdoings that they are practically temptation-proof balance of their lives. But while we forgive the sinner, we do not forget In the back of your memory there will always be a scar. But it is up to you whether you will let this wound to your love heal, or whether you will keep it an open sore that will poison your whole life. You can do this by thinking about it continually, by your suspicions of every woman your husband meets, by watching him. Don't do this. Wipe off the slate. Let your common sense teach you that a man who has slipped off the straight and narrow path once and gotten badly bruised is all the more apt to walk warily thereafter. Keep the faith thought in your mind all the time and you will be happy. And Tremember this—nothing is more sure to drive & man into being untrue to his wife than the knowledge that she distrusts him. = DOROTHY DIX. EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 31, tull of pep, and extremely attractive as far as face and figure are concerned. But hers is my problem: Instead of attracting the qulet, serlous-minded men, whom I admire, the only attention I get is from the wild ones, who belleve in always having a g00d time and never settling down. 1 may look like a vamp, although T try not to, but at heart T am just a old-fashioned, home-loving girl, who wants & home of her own and two o three babies. 1 heve tried to act demure, and all that, but they takea me for a vamp, nevertheless. My looks are evidently against me, and I can’t change them. hat shall I do? MISUNDERSTOOD. Answer: 'Tis a sad story, mates. Evidently you are one of those unfortunates who are afflicted with what old-fashioned novelists used to call “the fatal curse of beauty.” The late Anna Held had the same trouble. She had a song about it, in which she deplored that she could not make her eyes behave. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, and I should certainly like to help you if I could. You might wear a mask, or If this doesn’t appeal to you, suppose you alter your mode of dress. Don't have your halr waved. Slick it back, and do it into & hard knot at the back. Cut out your make-up. Don't use a lipstick. Wear nice, thick, sensible clothes instead of alluring chiffons. 7 All of that should help along In taking you out of the vamp class. And 1f you would quit going to cabarets and jazz parties, and go to Sunday school, and prayer meeting, and join some circle of earnest thinkers, I feel rea- sonably .sure that you will get away from the frivolous voung men you deplore and meet some Industrious and worthy young man who is out iooking for a domestically inclined wife. But bear up, anyway. There are worse sorrows than being beautiful! DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1924.) B — Dark Fruit Cake.

There was once a French chef in a noted New York hotel who made a bread which becime one of the =pe- clalties of the house. This bread had a pecullar but delicious flaver all its own. For a long time the chet guarded his recipe carefully, but ene day when he was about te urn home to his dear France one of the rich patrons of the house induced him to give up his recipe for a liberal consideration. The chef called it “chestnut bread” and it was the chestnuts in it which gave it the elu- sive flavor, so the chef afirmed. It was made as follows: Take two cup- fuls of unsifted graham flour, one cupful of pastry flour, two-thirds of a cupful of brown sugar, one tea- spoonful of salt, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two cupfuls of | buttermilk. one and one-elghth tea-| spoonfuls of soda and one cupful of! finely chopped cLestnuts. To the graham flour add the pastry flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. When thoroughly mixed, add the remain- ing ingredients. Turn into a but- tered bread pan, cover and let stand for 24 minutes.

For instance, most people seem to think that a tight glove will re- duce the size, or the apparent size, of the hand as a tight corset will re- duce the waistline. But there is a great deal of soft and easily com- pressible fat around the walst, very lit- tle on the hand. Besides, any resist- ance of the hands or the feet affects the circulation so that a red nose HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. Coxwell chairs, T have heard, were first designed for the lounge of an exclusive men’s club in London. It seems entirely reasonable, they are 80 essentially masculine in line, so massive and sturdy.

The way to make the hands look smaller when gloved s to buy gloves a quarter size too large, rather than a quarter size too small. odd, but try it and you'll see it's true. For one thing, the shape of the glove shows; and there is obviously plenty of room within it for the hand, which by itself would make the hand seem smaller. If the glove is tight strange bulges of flesh protirude, pulling the leather out of shape, giving the fm- pression that the hand is so large it is ready to burst through its restric- tion, Another trick is this—wear heavy leather gloves. Thin kid clings so tightly to the skin that only the wom- an with small and perfectly shaped hands can wear it. Buy thick. loose suede, or chamois, or cape gloves for daytime, and thick white washable suede or cape for dressy wear, and as heavy a quality white kid for long |7 evening gloves as yvou can find. Al ways wear loose wrist gloves, never short button ones, if you hands are big. And remember that this season heavy leather gloves are smarter than kid, and that the latest fashfon in Paris and London, which is coming in over here now, is to wear gloves so loosely they wrinkle a bit on the nand.
