'"WOMAN'S PAGE. How to Take Account of Stock BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. There is one delightful thing that every one can have the privilege of en- joying, and that is counting the pleas- ant events of a day when it is over. It is amazing to find the vistas of hap- piness that are glimpsed by such a PLEASANT THOUGHTS ARE GOOD NIGHTCAPS. simple turning of the mind toward good thoughts. It not only doubles pleas- ures to relive them in memory, but it puts the mind in a state where other nice things are recalled. A habit once formed of thus recount- ing one's blessings will prove the very essence of happiness. Persons are re- Strawberry Now that the strawberry season is drawing near, it's a good time as any to say something of the virtues of old-fashioned strawberry _short- lly masqu iys, but the real brown, crumbly biscuit, smothered in fragrant crushed berries, and served with thick, slightly sweetened, but unwhipped cream. There are few dishes that surpass it for those who like true flayor in food. And that many. people do like it is ceptive to the things with which they are in tune, just as a radio is receptive to vibrant air waves to which it is tuned. Without being in tune no mes- sage can be received. Without being mentally receptive to pleasures they pass us by unheeded, even though they may be within our very grasp if only we were able to discover them. Think- ing over the pleasures one has turns the key in the door of darkness and opens the way to such discoveries. Few persons have to be advised to think of unhappy e~~nts. Just one single unpleasant occurrence in the day has a power to blind many persons to all the good things that have occurred. It is true that if by thinking the mat- ter over some light is gained on how to avoid a similar troublesome occurrence the time is well spent. But it must be remembered that thinking of this sort is constructive and not mere mulling over misspent hours, unwise conversa- tion, disagreeable actions, etc. There can be no pleasure in such thoughts unless they save us from recurrences by suggesting to ourselves better ways of thought or wiser actions. Never, therefore, linger over disturbing ideas. It is easy to say “But I can’t help thinking over the troubles or getting angry over rebuffs or slights.” But this is only partially true. If it were true we would not be masters of our minds, and it is in this realm of thought that every one is master of himself or herself. When it scems impossible not to think of matter over which one has no control or events that have transpired during the day that make us miserable, try summing up the good occurrences. Do not omit the slightest thing that has been right. The thoughts will be- come engrossed. If the good things seem slight, it takes all the more thought to cull them out, and the mind has to center carefully on the subject. It will be found that the disagreeable ideas fall more and more into the back- ground. When once the mind becomes wrapped in the pleasant events the realm of delight becomes a reality. Counting over the happy events of a day at its close will bring joy, some- times very keen joy. It is worth doing. (Copyright, 1929.) DAILY DIET RECIPE Stuffed Rolled Fillets.

Where Is the Ideal American Husband? - }DorothyDix ACCORDING to & newspaper story, four enterprising and adventurous women have started out in an automobile to tour the country in search of husbands. taking him by and large, the American husband is the very finest achievement in the husband line that civilization has produced, and he is so Tegarded the world over. No other husband is so kind, so generous, so con- siderate, so courteous or gives his wife such liberty as does the American husband, and ‘he is the one thing which our European sisters frankly envy us. So from whatever sections of these United States a man comes he is a pretty good risk as a husband, but, still, all in all, there is a choice even among blue- ribbon prize winners, so let us consider, in a humble and seeking frame of mind, the husbands produced by the different sections of our great and glorious land. Of course, First, the New England man. How will these four seekers after the ideal husband size him up? They will find him a fine, strong, clean, upstanding man, with his feet firmly planted on the Plymouth Rock of the cardinal virtues. A man of deep feeling, but few words. Cold and ice-bound without, but warm within, a slumbering volcano under snow, a peculiarly fascinating type to women because it keeps them always busy trying to break through the crust. The New England man is a poor lovemaker even before marriage, and if he ever pops the question, the woman should hop to it if she wants to marry him, because he will never get to the point of doing it again. It is her one and only call to the dining car. After marriage he never mentions the state of his affection again, and his wife can only judge that he still loves her by the fact that he works like a dray horse to support her and the children and has never mentioned divorce to her., He says it with beefsteaks and automobiles and a good charge account. ‘The New England man makes a good provider and a comfortable, house- broken husband. He seldom wanders away from his own fireside and he is reasonably well satisfied with his wife if she is intelligent, thrifty and knows how to bake beans and cream codfish. As a husband the New England man may be rated like & Government bond, a safe, sound investment, but without exciting dividends. " e 'HEN there is the New York husband. How will our husband-hunters find him? Very dashing. Very well groomed. Very attractive in appearance, not only a shy bird, but a wise one. One that is determined not to be caught and caged in a domestic flat. Any woman who can marry a New York man could teach Cleopatra something about the art and science of vamping. ‘The New York husband, unless he came from the country and arrived in the city too late ever to get the hayseed completely out of his hair, is never wholly and entirely married. He is just a near husband or a part-time husband, and his wife’s clutch upon him is about as slippery as it would be upon an eel. ‘There is never a place between the altar and the grave where she can sit back gnd hdr;wt a long breath and feel that she has him safely tucked away in er basket. ‘What the New, York man wants in a wife is & playfellow and not a help- mate. Being unaccustomed to a real home and real food, he doesn't expect much in the line of domesticity or maternity from her, but he does expect her to keep herself young and slim and beautiful and all dolled up and to be ready to swlyl nkuit with hnlxtnhu{ an evening. atrimony with a New York husband may be & more or less tempora Job, but it will be full of excitement, with never a dull moment in it Mlll)";yhll’z a New York man is like taking a flyer in a highly speculative stock. You may make a killing or you may go broke, ‘ . .. THE‘N let us consider the Western husband. How will he rate with our ladies Wwho are in pursuit of the perfect mate? There is something very alluring that women find hard to resist about the big, rangy, clear-eyed men of the wide, open spaces and it goes to a woman'’s head the way they treat her as an equal. Western men are not strong on lovemaking and know little of the technique of flirtation. They haven't much of a line of soft talk, but when they tell a woman she is “it” they mean it, and it is a bonafide proposition of marriage that she could draw money on at the bank. The Western man expects his wife to be his partner, but he gives her a fair deal and goes 50-50 with her. Having once made his choice of a wife, he remains satisfied with it and does not acquire that tired feeling around 45 or losa his taste for the woman who has borne him his children and helped him make his fortune, as so many Eastern men do. ‘The son of a pioneer woman who had no time to consider her looks, he puts less value on beauty than any other man in the world and is less allured by ;x:mg::yl: o:quetry, as is pn:vfd byt the tm:,;lnb" of Western women who go around . As a permanent investment the Western man m: good buy. None better, e e “ e p THE: lthere is dthetgouthcm l?“tm ‘What will our ladies find when they park eir car under the magnolia tree?

No matter what sort of husband he turns out to , the woman who een wooed by a Southern m: memory of her courtship to her dying dn};n T Mo e U As a husband he will always remember all the little anniversaries. He will still pay his wife compliments and tell her how beautiful her eyes are. He will always be ready to take her out to places of amusement. He will still kiss her hands, even if she has made corns on them working for him. He will always be the gallant and the lover because he is bullt that way. But he is the worst spoiled man in the world because he is accustomed to women whose tradition is to defer to men and flatter and cajole them and so, if his wife holds him, she has to be a more adroit salve-spreader than the balance of her sex. Also he has a roving eye and it is up to his wife to be easy on it. A little difficult to keep, but mighty pleasant and soothing to live with is the Southern man, and as an investment he may be rated among the preferred stock, which is safe for any woman to put her money into. I wonder which one our ladies will take. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1939.)

Nutrition Nuggets. ‘This is the time to make good use of the many varieties of greens that are in the market. Some varieties are | peculiar to certaln sections, such as, | for instance, mustard greens, field | cress, poke and turnip greens which are seldom seen in the North, but are | very popular in the South; others, such as spinach, dandelion greens, kale, bean | sprouts, broccoli and Spring onions are | used in all parts of the country. All of these greens are packed full of the health-giving minerals and vitamins | and are deserving of a very large place in Spring and early Summer meals. Use them as salads, or cook them if you wish; but if you cook them, be care- ful not to cook them too long. Both flavor and nutritive value are better when the greens are cooked for a short | time—just long enough to make them tender. ‘There is need for some quick energy food in the dlet of children. The best food of this type is sugar, and as most children have a natural craving for sweets, the difficulty lies not so much in using sugar as in using it wisely. No child should be allowed to overload his cereal with sugar, or to eat sweets to the exclusion of other valuable foods. A moderate amount of candy, a moderate amount of sugar in and on foods, and a | wise selection of desserts will go rar | toward meeting the best needs of the | average child's diet by furnishing a good supply of energy. Speaking along the lines of the use of | sugar, most nutrition experts feel that it does no harm to give children small amounts of candy at the end of each meal. Eaten between meals it is apt to blunt the appetite and destroy the desire for foods that are needed for| body building, repair purposes and for | general development. Cereals are among the cheapest foods we have and are high in food value. They should have a place in every dietary, but should be widely used when economy is the main factor that must be taken into consideration when plan- ning meals. A generous serving of hot | cereal, with milk and sugar, meets the largest proportion of the food needs for breakfast. Cereal puddings are inex- pensive, filling and highly nutritious, and combinations of cereals and cheese and cereals with small amounts of meat can be counted on to-supply the nutri- tive properties necessary for body-build- ing purposes and at a much lower cost than most meat dishes.

Look in the treasure box of the most forbidding old mald and you'll ind a rose or a dance pro- gram or a letter of the high-voltage variety. Movie folk have their moments, but their sentiments run along a slightly different line. Mostly these are con- nected with work, and invariably stars save something of the role which brought them fame. No money coined could buy those first oversized, out-turned shoes with |On! which Charlie Chaplin developed the characterization that put him in his | high place. When Nancy Carroll was playing in that Irish-Yiddish comedy which has maddened most of the world into going to see it she had a sprig of shamrock Anne Nichols gave her. She carries it on the set whenever she begins a new role. It has gone, beyond sentiment | and into the realmof luck. The luck of Lupe Velez lies in the little pair of castanets she clicked that first night in Mexico City when fame was just beyond the curtain. She clutched them tightly, for her fingers were trembling so with fear that she could scarcely make them click. 2 Emil Jannings' favorite souvenir of his career is a battered old hat which | he has worn in so many of his char-| acterizations.

That prize | took her to Hollywood. And those were the days when a beauty prize winner | had a chance.

He hangs on to that old calico dress as though it were a priceless fabric.

Now and again Janet gets| a role which calls for picturesque rags, | and then she is utterly happy. There | Either Paris rampant or beauty in rags. Everything in between is trying to the star.
