WOMAN’S PAGE.' Prepare for Next Winter’s Holidays BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Before the new year gets so well along that the holidays are far be- hind and almost out of mind, it is a good idea to make a list of those who sent you Christmas gifts and whom you will wish to remember next year. A Christmas list, file or book should be kept for this purpose, as it saves much time another season, aiding the memory in a most successful wa Bome persons make two lists, jotting year. Such a file is of service through- out the year and not merely at the next holiday season. It is for this reason that it should be made soon. There may be sales during this month and next that can be taken advantage of. Christmas novelties are sacrificed in January, and this and February are months for linen and furniture sales, Luncheon sets and all sorts of fancy table linens delight the homemaker, and these can be laid aside if purchased in advance. They take up very little room and do not dete- riorate, Furniture is not so easily stowed away, but among the pieces sold at low sums are such things as book ends, scrap baskets, wood baskets, tuck- away tables and small furnishing acces- sories that cah be “tucked away” in small space or on top shelves. The saving in cost compensates for trivial inconveniences, but such buying is only advisable when space can be afforded easily without cluttering up one’s stor- age room. When it comes to cards, the person who does not make a list this season is sure to omit some name that will be regretted another year. Now addresses of the senders are yours to write down. Later on they may be lost. Instead of using the blank space left by the names in the list, jot down addresses. This will prove far more useful and time-saving when sending cards an- other year than constant reference to address books. (Copyright, 1920.) M E - WALKER.

BY THE COUNSELLOR. In an effort to collect the sum of $4,000 from Mrs. Mary Mullen, loaned to her before her marriage, Robert Hood wrote to Mrs. Mullen's husband a series of three letters, the substance of which was as follows: ‘That Mrs. Mullen had obtained the money from him by false pretenses; that she had been guilty of dishonor- able conduct, deception, ingratitude, falsehood, and dishonesty toward him; that she had a violent, fitful, obstinate and ugly temper, and that she was par- tially insane, an adventuress and | swindler. The result of the letters was that Mrs. Mullen’s husband withdrew his confidence from her, alienated his af- fections from her and finally separated from her and refused to live with her. Mrs. Mullen then sued Hood asking $50,000 damages for the loss of her domestic peace and happiness. Hood's defense to the suit was that the letters to Mrs. Mullen’s husband were privileged, he having the right, as a creditor, to inform him of his wife's obligation. ‘The jury returned a verdict for $30,- 000 for Mrs. Mullen, after receiving instruction from the court: “The defendant owed no duty, social, moral or legal, to the husband to inform him of the bad conduct of his wife be- fore her marriage, and the husband was THE EVENI Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. January 17, 1861.—A plan has been matured here within the last few days by many leading men of the border States which, it is hoped, may work beneficially in the present national crisis. The plan is embodied in a series of resolutions proposing: 1. That there must be some definite and conclusive settlement of the slavery question between the two sections of the country, or a separation isinevtiable, 2. That the Crittenden compromise, with certain amendments, be adopted as a basis for a fair and honorable ad- justment, and the least Virginia feels she could take as a settlement. 3. The appointment of a commis- sioner to each of the States in the Union, in accordance with the sugges- tion of Virginia, and inviting a response to this measure of conclliation. 4. A strong appeal to the Federal Government to stay its hand and avold acts, which may lead to a collision p{en]dlng the mediation efforts of Vir- ginia. 5. An appeal to the seceding States to preserve the existing status and also to abstain from all acts which may precipitate a collision. This set of resolutions is now before the Virginia Legislature. It is de- signed, if Virginia approves, for adop- tion verbatim by North Carolina, Ten- nessee, Kentucky and Missouri, and that all of those States shall unite with Virginia in making the proposed repre- sentations to all of the other States. It has for some time past been evi- dent that, although a congressional vote asking the people of the several States to consider a remedy for the difficulty is by no means impossible, yet the terms upon which the people of the States may come to a final settlement must have as their basis some proposition previously agreed upon by all the slave- holding border States. It is those States whose interests are mainly involved in the disabilities concerning slavery un- der which the South rests at this time. 1t is believed by many prominent men in Washington that such a plan to avert the approaching natfonal crisis, coming from the slave-holding border States, will receive careful and friendly é?"fm"'""" by the people of the free ates.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Warning to Lugubrious Wives—Why Some Husbands Are Niggardly About Money. Consolation for the Golf Widow. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: One of the reasons why the middle-aged woman so often loses out is because she is a whiner. Heaven knows what women expect marriage to be—a perpetual picnic and lovefest, apparently, but, anyway, when they find it isn’t, the great majority of them have not the grit to meet the gaff. They sit down and weep and lament and make themselves such lugubrious companions and their homes such moist, unpleasant places, as Mr. Martillini used to say in one of Dickens' stories, that they drive their usbands away. & Tell ynuryrenders that if middle-aged wives want to hold their husbands they had better cheer up. HUSBAND OF WHINER. Answer: These are words of wisdom to which I especially call the attention of all of the young wives who are just settling down to the real business of matrimony and who still have it in their power to determine whether they will make their marriage a success or a failure and to settle whether, when they are 45, their husbands will still be eating out of their hands or chasing around after other wbmen. There is no use in saying anything to the middle-aged woman who is a whiner because she has acquired the self-pity habit, which is just as incurable as the dope habit and just as deadly and benumbing to every moral sense. She has atrophied every perception of justice. Her brain has gotten so befogged that she can't see anything clearly any more and she lives in a world of imaginary wrongs of which she 1s the poor, unfortunate, innocent victim. She couldn’t cure herself if she would, and she doesn't want to, because if she did she would have to give up the role of the neglected wite, which is a perfect cinch. That is if a woman has no self-respect. For the whiner is nothing but a coward, one who has not the courage to stand up and fight the battle of life like a good soldier. And it is inevitable that a coward shall always go down In defeat. The craven-hearted always do. How the whining wives get that way goodness only knows, for generally they have far less to complain of than any other of their sex. Generally they have really drawn a soft snap as their lot in life, but like the princess in the fairy tale, they dig around under their 40 mattresses of ease until they have found the crumpled rose leaf, and then they proceed to moan over it. Everywhere you can hear women whining because they have to keep house and make homes for their families. Everywhere you can hear women whining because they are so tied down by their children. Everywhere you can hear women whining about domestic life being monotonous, and about not being able to run around to parties every night, and about their husbands not giving them as many cars, nor as fine clothes, nor as grand houses, as some other women hlV% Their final whine is because their husbands are no longer interested in them. You feel like batting them over the head instead of offering them s shoulder to weep upon, becausé they are acting like cry-bables instead of rational You are filled with contempt for them because they have welched on life. They have evaded every responsibility they could, and they are howling out for sympathy because they have been forced to do a few of the things that they should have been glad to do. One wonders what these women who whine because they have to cook dinner would think of their husbands if they whined over having to earn what went into the pot. One wonders still more how any woman can expect her husband to stay in love with her when she shows herself all yellow and such a poor sport that she turns quitter at the first hardship, and how she can possibly expect a man to yearn to come back to a home whose atmosphere is dark blue and filled with complaints, and to a wife who is continually bemoaning her fate. Every man has about all the unpleasant things that he can stand having happen to him in his day at business, and when he comes home he wants to come to a place of cheer and brightness, and to a wife who is at least happy and contented, and who will bolster him up with her optimism, not weaken his morale with her tears of self-pity. So my advice to all young wives is to avoid whining. Adopt a brave attitude toward life. When troubles come laugh them off, and when you are middle-aged you will still have your husband. No man ever gets tired of a wife who is a cheerful companion. e DOROTHY DIX. JEAR MISS DIX: I was a business girl earning a fine salary. Before I married I told my husband that the one thing I could never bring myself to do would be to ask him for money, and he grandly said that, of course, every- thing he had was mine and that we would have a joint checking account. But that joint checking account never materialized. He pays the household bills and occasionally he will put a dollar or two down on the table and say that is for my carfare, but he has never given me a cent of my own, and when my clothes wore out, rather than ask him for some, I went out and got myself a job. Then grand heroics. But still no offer to give me even a small allowance. Now what are we to do? Our home life is disrupted. My husband is furious and grouchy. The house is less well kept. I am tired when I return from work instead of being fresh and rested to meet him. I would be glad to give up my job in favor of the one which really pleases me most if only my husband would give me for myself even the wages of a cook. But he won't. What to do? RS. R. H. 8. Answer: Why don't you put the proposition straight up to your husband and tell him that if he will give you a servant's wages you will resign your other job. If he refuses to do this, it seems to me he is such an incredible tightwad that you will do better to stick to a job that has real money in it than to work for a slave driver who expects to get your services for nothing. The attitude of husbands toward an allowance for their wives is not so often the result of stinginess as it is of men holding to the queer theory that ‘women have not the sense of personal dignity and self-respect that men have, and that they don't mind begging their husbands for money. A man knows that he could not endure to ask even the kindest and most generous wife for every cent he spent. He couldn’t even ask an indulgent father for carfare or a new necktie, but he dcesn't see why a woman would mind asking him for every penny and hdving to give an account of what she did with it. Certainly if your husband cares anything for you he will be able to get your viewpoint on this matter. Gk e .DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX: What do you think of a man who is so addicted to golf that he gets up at 6 o'clock every Sunday morning and after the game goes to his mother’s for lunch and, incidentally, a game of pinochle, and strolls home about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, thus spolling every Sunday for his family. We seldom go to the theater or out for the evening, with the exception of an hour or so in the car once or twice a week. We are continually arguing about th!&h In 11‘1?. it is about the only thing we do argue about, but it is spoiling our home life. . 8. Answer: If your husband is a reasonable man, why not offer to compromise the matter with him and let him have his golf in peace if he will agree to take you to some place of amusement that you wish to go to some time during the week. A good play in payment for his golf games seems to me fair. Anyway, as long as he doesn't do anything worse than play golf, don’t nag him about it. It is an innocent and healthful diversion, but if you worry him too much about it you may make home so unpleasant that he will spend the balance of his Sunday elsewhere. If it is any comfort to you, you have plenty of company in your misery. There are lots of golf widows, ‘ DOROTHY DIX, VG STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

I had been left without a heart, with- out my head; I had been in search of a place where I could recover my vigor and energy with quiet work. At this point in my life I chanced upon the blacksmith's forge, blazing into the night, the cadence of the hammers re- sounding half a league away. That Autumn evening I saw the blacksmith for the first time. He was busily forging a plowshare. His shirt was open, displaying his splendid chest; his ribs, at each breath, marked the machine-like frame which was being | | put to the supreme test of strength.

The blacksmith wield- ed her readily enoagh with both hands, | while his strapping son held the iron in pincers to receive each mighty blow. “Tock, tock, tock!” it sounded, like the grave voice of a mother encourag- ing the early lisping of her child. The young lady continued her waltz, gown and leaving the Imprint of her heels in the plowshare she was fashion- ing as each time she rebounded from the anvil. They stopped. The blaze died away. I could hear the blacksmith panting, but he did not even trouble to wipe the perspiration from his brow. He stood there, his heavy breath mingling with the bellows, which his son was still slowly drawing. I slept at the blacksmith's that night | and I became a fixture there. Mine was a vacant room upstairs over the forge. | From 5 o'clock in the morning—before daybreak—I was intimately associated with the work of my host. It seemed as if the “young lady” forced me out of bed by knocking against the ceiling— which was my floor—and calling me all kinds of a lazy young fellow. The room would creak and tremble all over, mak- ing me hurry. Below the forge would be already ablaze. The bellows purred. Blue and white flames crept from the coals. A round star shone in the center, fed by the breath of the belicv=. The black- smith was busily getting his work for the day in place—moving iron about, turning over plows, examining wheels. The blacksmith would spy me with a great laugh and say it did me good to live among old iron. Often would I spend a whole day at the forge, especially in Winter, when it was bad weather. I was interested in the work. The constant struggle be- tween the blacksmith and raw iron pleased and fascinated my imagination. I would follow the metal with my eyes from furnace to anvil. It continually surprised me by the way it changed— being bent, extended, rolled like some pi:ce of soft wax in the hands of a child. When the plow was completed 1 knelt down before it, no longer able to recognize the shapeless mass that metal had been on the day before. The blacksmith was never heard to complain. In the evening he could be seen laughing heartily, after having Dbeaten iron into shape for 14 long hours at his hot forge. He would rub his arms with an air of great satisfaction. He was never sad, never seemed to be weary. In the Winter he would say that it was nice and warm in his shop. In the Summer he flung wide the door to let in the perfume of the hay flelds. Too, the blacksmith often joked. He would say that all the land he could see from near his forge belonged to him, that his forge had supplied the plows which had tilled it for 200 years. That was his pride. No crop could grow without his help. If the plain was green in May and golden in July, that change of color was due to his strength. Often would he watch up and down the road to see his plowshares biting into the land. The valley was full of them. He knew in what year he had fashioned each plow which made each patch of oats or rye. He would often The blacksmith called it his | He was the only man | vibrating the spangles of her | call my attention to the splendid work his plows were doing. Living near the clangorous iron re- sounding around and beneath me, I felt iron injected into my blood. It did me more good than ever could drugs from any shop or doctor. The uproar became the breath of life to me. The hammers on the anvil were music to my ears. In my room, where the snort- ing sound of the bellows was a cheerful accompaniment, I recovered my poor lost head “Tock, tock, tock.” it went, sounding like the merry pendulum that regulated my hours of labor. . ‘At the climax of the task, when the blacksmith became angry, when I heard the red-hot iron crackling beneath the bounds of the frantic hammers, I felt the heated blood of a giant flowing in | my wrists.

Looking at him, I discerned that modern sculp- tural line which our artists laboriously seek among the ruins of ancient Greece. ‘To me the blacksmith seemed a hero made greater by labor.
