WOMAN'S PAGE. Features of Wet and Dry Cleansing BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER.

But wa- ter in some form is essential to wet cleansing. Stmple Process. Clothes that are wet cleansed, when not immersed, have the solution ap- plied to them, either with a cloth or & brush wet with it. A skirt, for ex- ample, or a dress may be put over a board or kitchen table, and be sponged and brushed with the solution, and then be rinsed with pure hot or tepid water as sults the goods best. It may then be patted until part of the mot: ture is gone, and be ironed immedl- ately, having a clean dry cloth put over it before being pressed. Such a process is wet cleansing, but not laun dering. Dry Liquids. Dry cleansing may employ a “dry liquid.” as the agent is one sometim termed a dry liquid, one that evapo- rates so rapidly that it soon leaves the fabric dry, not wet, even though it has been immersed in the liquid. ¢ oline, benzine, naphtha, ether and sev eral other liquids come under this heading.

C, THURSDAY, DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Mordern Girl a Worthy Descendant of Her Pioneer Grandmother—Her Unfair Brother Who Keeps Eligible Beaux Away. IDEAR MISS DIX: I and almost all of the girls I know are self-supporting, yet people say that the modern girl 1s inferlor to our grandmothers. Do you think that our grandmothers could have faced what the modern girl Is facing? ROMOLA. Answer: There were never any braver and more competent women in tBe world, Romola, than our grandmothers. There was nothing they did not face, those ploneer women who set sail for a new country, and who helped win the wilderness from the Indians. Their herolsm was even greater than that of our forefathers, because, in addition to all the hardships the men had to endure, they had to dare the perils of child birth, often with no help of doctors or nurses, and the certainty that if things went wrong they must die in agony. And there was nothing our grandmothers could not do. They cooked and sewed and weaved and worked in the fields, and fought, when the necessity arose, with wild beasts and redmen, and made homes and brought up children, and established clvilization in the wild places. It is because of the splendid heritage that these women left us, because of the grit and courage and initiative and daring that they bred into us, that the women of this generation have accomplished so much. . It would be a shame for the granddaughters of these women to be shirkers, and they are not. That is why we find so many girls standing on their own feet. earning thelr own living instead of sitting down with idle hands letting some poor old father, or overworked brother, support them. The granddaughters of the women who walked behind the covered wagons half across the continent simply couldn’t be weaklings. They are bound to have backbones, and so we have the girls who have the strength to resist temptation, to deny themselves luxury, often to stifle the longing of their own hearts in order to do what is right and to live clean, upright lives, instead of taking what is called the easiest way. I am not saying life Isn't hard for the modern girl. It is. She has privations to bear that are as hard as her grandmother knew on the frontier. She has to walk as warily as her grandmother walked in a blockhouse. Wolves in sheep’s clothing prowl around her that are just as dangerous as any that ever lay in wait for her grandmother in the forest. But the qualities that gave her grandmother the strength to endure glve her the strength to endure, and the highest compliment that can be paid her Is to say that she is worthy of her grandmother. DOROTHY DIX. JDEAR MISS DIX: Some time ago my brother brought his chum, a most | attractive young man, to the house. The young man seemed to take a great fancy to me; in fact, devoted s much time to me that it made my hl"\_lhflr jealous. and he was very angry about it. ald he asked the boy to visit him, not me. And since then, whenever the young man says anything about coming to see me, my brother raises some objection and stops him. 1s this right? SALLY. Answer: Your brother is treating vou very unfairly. Moreover, he is acting like an idiot. It is a brother’s duty to help his sister secure & good husband, not to stand In the way of securing one. A young girl can have no more valuable asset than a brother who has enough sense of family obligation to help her play the game. He can take | her about so that she may meet the right sort of voung men, and he can bring eligible youths to the house, and thus glve propinquity its opportunity to get in its work as a matchmaker. After ull, a girl has to pick and choose among the men she knows. and | if she is never brought in contact with the right sort, she is forced into | taking the kind sh So it is very emphatically brother’s duty to | help sister to a good husband if he can. I — | Every brother should also consider it his duty to be his sister’s chaperon. He knows what the young people are doing far better than mother or father | can and so he should keep a careful eye upon her. Likewise, he knows the | character of the boys, and he can warn her against the ones with whom it | is dangerous for her to associate. DOROTHY DIX JDEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have been married for the last three man who s everything that is sweet and good, but he slmply cannot make a living. T have worked, trying to help him, doing all of my housework but cannot make ends meet. Since we have been married my husband has not bought me a stitch of clothing; not that he does not want to, but he cannot afford it. I am 25 and have no children. What shall 1 do? MISERABLE. ars to a Answer: That depends upon how much you love the man. If, in spits | of his being so ineffectual, you are still crazy about him, go to work and | learn some way of supporting him, instead of expecting him to support you. | Face the fact that you will have to make the living, and study some | trade or profession and perfect yourself in it until you have skill enough to | command good pay. Thousands of women are doing this. The old proverb | says that there is a woman behind the door of every man’s success. Believe | me, you will nearly always find some failure of & man behind every woman's | success. It Is the man who couldn’t make good himself who forced his wife into making good. After you once accept the situation and go to work you will find it much less wearing on the nerves to support your husband than it is to try to nag him into working. The thing that gets on a woman's nerves and wears her to a frazzle s trying to put pep into the pepless, and galvanize the inert into being a hustler, and breathe ambition into the shiftless, and generally trying to substitute her own backbone for her husband's. Of course, the clinging-vine man is not an appealing type. In fact, he is harder for a thrifty, go-getter kind of woman to endure than any other sort of husband, because laziness Is one of the vices for which we can have only contempt. But we must bear in mind that there are men to whom nature gives no aptitude for business, who never see an opportunity even when it knocks | them down and who are born so tired they simply can't bring themselves to | make any effort. And Sometimes these men have as a compensation a | tenderness and understanding and a gentleness that make a woman love them still in spite of all their faults. Plenty of men bear patiently with lazy, shiftless wives who never make them a decent home. Why shouldn't women stand for husbands who are no providers? We have equal rights nowadays you know, and equal wrongs DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1925.) _—————— Sour Cream Cake Filling. fourth teaspoonful of vanilla.

On this theory it would have come from the French word “joyeuse’ or the English “joyous.” But it so happens that through the Norman-French records of medleval England and Normandy the name is specifically traced to the locality call- ed Joyeuss in the latter coumry.
