T Romance Found in Home-Making BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. artistry that breathes like an aura from it. I Of importance to all who keep house, but have the luxury of their homes be greater than the dictates of their pocketbook, some suggestions of how to renew the vouth of household appoint- | ments and furnishings will be welcome. | One needs occasionally to look with | @ new _eye at the things of daily con- tact. after a short sofourn away, and for that reason-many a woman now returr | ing, or ortly to return, from a vaca | tion, will be aware of discrepenc | her home. and that to her discourage- | ment. Instead of really feeling down- cast, she should, for the improved vision which enables | her to revaluate the things of her home, To those housekeepers who have & touch of imagination, and seldom is a housekeeper a genuine homemaker without it, there is something really romantic about the sort of magic she can work (o restore the newness k\’ | | and to emphasize the good, and renew ! | or discard the unwelcome furnishings. ‘There is always something that can be done, and it is certainly better to be discriminating than blind to a situation. Even if working single-handed at her task there are many aids upon which she can call. Even a thing so cheap | and easy of access as the sun's rays can be her ally, as well as the paint and varnish brush for retouching need- ed places, and metal polishes for re- turning brightness for dullness. Of these first-mentioned aids—the sun—it may be said that nothing will | do more to restore the soft fluffiness to | a felt mattress than the warm and pene- | trating rays. While the Summer sun, in its heat, is yet with us, the time is_excellent for such rejuvenation of lumpy mattresses. take stock of what has been put away ‘temporarily” for repair in attic | storerooms, ‘and decide whether or not | the article can be made as good as new.

A cretonne cover can be added to a chair, for which funds for having | the whole ‘thing done over are lacking. | An old tray given a touch of lacquer | paint may add the touch of newness to the dining room. Possibly there is a box of plated silver in need of being redipped. If it is not feasible to have all of it done at once, some of it at | least can be put to this reviving process. _Of course, in the case of genuine an- tiques, one should be cautious about removing any old patina such as is en- tain kind. wheel to the point of apparent ne ness, as did some friends of mine, was to destroy part of its charm But, in most instances, the pristine freshness of the newly finished piece is to be sought.

Nancy's infant son was peacefully sleeping. Peter was out of town for a few days on a business trip.

Nancy knew she never could use all of them as table fruit, so she decided to make jam. She chose the damson plums for the jam. It wasn't so much of an ordeal since the fruit was not peeled, merely pitted and cut in small pieces. She weighed two pounds of fruit and found it equaled four level half pint { cups when pitted and cut up. She put the fruit in a heavy aluminum kettle. | She might just as well have used an ‘L‘nnmcl one. To the fruit she added | | | | | one-half cup water. The mixture was stirred until it boiled, when the fire | was turned down and the kettle cov- | ered and left to simmer for 15 min utes. At the end of this time seven and one-half cups sugar were added. Nancy stirred the mixture until it came | to a full rolling boil. When the top | looked like a bubbling sea she watched the clock and let it boil for exactly 1 minute. Then she took it from the fire, stirred in one-half cup commercial, liquid pectin. She stirred it well, skim- med off the scum and poured the jam into hot clean jam pots. Some of it went into tiny ones which would later {appear In Christmas baskets.

C, WEDNESDAY. DorothyDix { Besides the Basic Qualities of Honor and Industry, Iovery Husband Should Be Chosen for Sportsmanship. Says Every Girl Must Decide This for Herself What Makes a Perfect Husband? Sense of GIRL asks: “What characteristics should I look for in the man I pick out for a husband?" That depends upon your taste, my dear; and happiness in marriage for a { woman depends more upon her getting what she likes than it does upon all the cardinal virtues. Nobody can gauge your preferences for you. The attributes in a man that firc one woman's fancy leave another cold. Probably every girl in the world paints a different portrait of the Prince Charming that she is ex- pecting to come along some day and carry her off to the abode of the blest. Of course, there are certain qualities, such as honesty, morality and sobriety, eadfastness and industry, that are the very corner stones of character, and that every man must possess in order to make him desirable as a husband. Pre-suppossing that a man has these, the first thing that I should look for, if I were a girl and a man came a-courting me would be His ability as an entertainer. Marriage Tasts a long time, and it seems even longer with a bore. I shouid think of the thousands upon thousands of evenings when I would be shut up alone in a house with that man, with no one to talk to but him, and T would want to know whether I would be entertained and amused or whether I would yawn my head off. 1 should think about a lot of homes that I know that are as deadly dull as the grave, where the husbands and wives have nothing to say to each other and have to get into a fight to have something to discuss. I should think of | the homes I had been where husbands and wives fell on any chance caller with s of joy, because he had rescued them from each other. That wouldn't be my idea of a pleasant way in which to spend the next 30 or 40 years. | §O 1 would discount the love-making, for any man is a spellbinder so long as | | he is telling you how beautiful and wonderful you are, and how different | trom all other women. I would try to find out whether he had a conversational | line on other topics that could hold my interest. Nor would T depend altogether | on my judgment in this. I would observe whether other people listened while | he taiked, or whether he was one of those at whose approach every crowd melted | | away. | Furthermore, I should pay particular attention to the subject of his dis- | | course, and if it touched brightly and entertainingly on books and world events | | and politics and gossips and Shakespeare generally, I should know that I would never have enough of it. But if, on the contrary, he began every sentence with | “I"; if he spent hours telling what the President should do, and how foreign | powers should run their governments, and if he was never weary of monologuing | about his own achievements, I would have none of him, because I should have a | !premonltlon that it wouldn't take long for me to get fed up on his society. | Next, T would try to get a line om his ability to chum up with me. Passion | | perishes of satiety. Romance goes to tatters under the wear and tear of every- | | day life No husband can remain the perfect lover; no wife keep up the vamping | | stuff perpetually. And so when the glory and the circling wings of courtship | are over there is nothing left unless & man and woman are comrades. | Therefore, consider well whether a man has it in him to be friend husband. | Not every man is capable of a friendship with a woman. There are men who. | in their souls, always despise women, and have a contempt for them, who will | always find companionship with men only, and whose only use for women is as playthings and slaves | R — ( Never marry & man like that unless you will be content to be merely the mother of his children and his housckeeper. Therefore, observe closely whether | a man merely makes love to you and pays you silly compliments, or whether he | talks to you about real things that he is interested in—his hopes, his plans and | ambitions—and above all note whether he is interested in what you think; | whether he regards you as another human being with human intelligence or | as a qoll. 'l‘HEN I should try to find out whether my man was built on the plan of a | shoestring, or if he was all wool and a yard wide. If a man is little and | narrow and prejudiced he is hopeless. He never grows. He never learns, He | never expands. He makes the kind of a husband who refuses to give his wife an allowance, who growls over the bills, who never sees why a woman wants any | other amusement than staying home and taking care of the children, and who | makes a wife's life a curse to her. But if a man is broad-minded, being married is an education to him, and he learns to look at things from his wife’s point of view, and to sympathize with heli.‘ and every day and in every way he becomes a better husband and pleasanter to live with, | Finally, I should try to size up how good a sport a man was before I mar- ried him. I should know that marriage for him, as for every one else, was bound | to have its disillusionments and its hard sledding. I should know that he was | bound to find out. that I was not the pin-feathered angel that he was probably | picturing me to be, but just a mere woman with a thousand faults and weak- i nesses and tempers and unreasons, and that there would be plenty of times when | I would be hard to get aiong with. I should know that I would lose my good looks and be less physically at- tractive. I should know that it would take about three times as much to support | a family as he had counted on, and that he would have to make many sacrifices for his family, and that often the price of & set of new clubs or a fine reel would have to go in little Mary’s teeth or Johnny's adenoids. 1 wouldn't want a husband who would repudiate his bargain when he found | out what it cost. I wouldn't want a man who would quit cold when he discov- ered that matrimony comes high. I wouldnt want a man who would forsake | me because my beauty had faded. I would want a dead game sport who would | smile through it all, no matter how luck went against him. i And so I would observe how a man took it when he was beaten at golf; how | he acted when an automobile broke down on the road, what he did and said when a train was late or he was served a bad meal in a restaurant, and by these | tokens I should know with what philosophy he would meet life. { DOROTHY DIX.

But just as soon as you start to shop for sunroom furnishings you will find yourself confronted with the problem of choosing between the old-time wicker and the new art, and a great many of you will desert your old friends and swing over to those pieces which at first you thought not at all attractive. Simplicity is always stressed as a keynote to the decorating and furnish- ing of our homes, and in the sofa shown in the illustration there is every evi- dence that simplicity has been consid- ered by the designer. Even the mate- rial with which this sofa is covered is modern in design, strictly conventional and in vivid hues, and is simple, too. This piece may be used the year around in the sunroom or on the open porch for the Summer only. and covered with material in keeping with the general color scheme of the space which it is to occupy, it strikes a A soft shade of blue green, with a covering of copper ground linen in which the design s carried out in blue green, gold and black, would be at- tractive if this is to be used in a room in which copper predominates.

Finished | FEATURES.' MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Art of Relaxation. It is not a mere coincidence that girls of the tense, nervous type fade early, while those of a more placid nature keep their youthfulness. The art of re- Iaxation is the key to many of milady's beauty problems. The restiess habit of mind that is laways anticipating future trials or pleasures brings premature wrinkles around mouth and eyes, intro- duces a harsh, strained note in the voice, makes the posture stiff and awk- ward and interferes with the functions of the body. Underweight and self- consclousness are often by-products of this mood also. Beauty parlors cannot help a person of this type. lpulnxg:lon must be both mental and physical. On the physical side it may be encouraged by daily exercises such s T am printing below: “No. 1L pstund'erec'. with feet slightly apart, toes pointing forward. Slowly relax the neck, arms and trunk.

Repeat with left arm and right leg. Warm baths are also an aid to re- laxation. Such a bath taken at bed- time will quiet overwrought nerves and prepare for peaceful slumbers. Body massage, too, is helpful. Faclal wrinkles that indicate tense mental states are usually found be- tween the eyes and on the forehead. These should be massaged gently every night to keep them from becoming too deep. Use the thumb and first finger to smooth out the frown wrinkles. Hold- ing the skin between the eyebrows smooth, use one finger of the other hand to execute a rotary massage movement over the place where the wrinkle was. The furrows on the brow may be mas- saged with three fingers of one hand with an upward rotary motion. Once a week a facial pack and thorough mas- sage may be given. Besides these physical means of in- ducing relaxation, cultivate a new habit of thought. Learn how to enjoy the present and cease straining after what is beyond reach. Try to get in tune Even in a city one need not lose touch with her, and the open country is not far away. Nervous, tense types of women should seek recreation outdoors instead of indoors at movies, theaters, bridge parties and dances. Sociologists often point out that our modern pace of living is too fast and too stimulating, which accounts for the prevalence of nervous disorders ranging all the way from ir- ritability to crime.

This would put too great a strain on the bones and muscles of your feet unless you are a trained toe dancer.

Washing One’s Stomach. Many valetudinarians make a prac- tice of washing their stomachs first thing every morning. This has always seemed to me as superfluous as washing behind one’s ears. However, I admit I'm bigoted about it. Some of them use only a cup of water, while others use a whole pint or more. Some like it hot and some like it cold. Too many, I think, put salt in the water, often as much as a teaspoonful in the pint. Nearly all ches a vague idea that this cleanses the system; they consider it a kind of internal bath. Well, what about it? In the first place, I can't see a bit of harm in it, if one enjoys it. Only I should advise against the addition of salt to the water, or if the craving demands salt, then as little salt as the craving will be satisfled with. While many persons take insufficient water and may there- fore be benefited by this morning stom- ach wash, on the other hand many per- sons habitually take too much salt in and on food, and they shouldn't salt the stomach wash. From the point of view of physiology and hygiene, and even pathology, I can't conceive just what it is that these internal bath fans expect to wash away. However, maybe they have morbid no- tions about their insides, and the water won't do any harm. A good drink of water before break- fast, hot or cold, stimulates the secre- tion of gastric juice, whet's the appe- tite and improves the digestion. Cold water is preferable for this purpose, but delicate, spare or feeble persons may prefer hot water, and they should take it as they prefer. A large drink of hot water, of course, helps to warm the whole body and increase the circulation. Within half an hour after one has taken a good drink of water most of it is far down in the intestine. Water re- mains in the stomach only a few min- utes, whether the stomach is empty or equal amounts. Ask the dentist the | cause of the spots. They are probably | |usthurtu that every one gets on the teeth. AL HEALTH SERVICE BRADY, M. D. contains digesting food. Little or no water is absorbed into the blood from the stomach; nearly all the water that is absorbed enters the blood from the intestine. A normal adult should take not less than three pints of water a day, and in warm weather, or when physically ac- tive, a gallon may not be more than is . Every one should consume a glass or two of water with, or imme- diately before each meal. If thirst does not lead to the drinking of much water, then one should make & practice of tak- ing a drink on rising and on retiring, as well as midforenoon and midafternoon. Rarely does any one drink too much water; if one has an enormous thirst it is well to have a medical examination, particularly urinalysis. The individual preference may be relied upon as to whether to drink water hot. lukewarm, cool, cold or ice cold, though as a rule | just cold water is most satisfactory. | In hot weather, of course, the more | water one drinks the easier it will be to keep cool. People who are annoyed by excessive sweating make a mistake in stinting their water allowance; they should drink plenty of water, but re- strict their protein food rations. (Copyright. 1928.)
