WOMAN'S PAGE. Meeting Strain BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘The routine of housework is so de- manding that it does not allow oppor- tunity to relax when one is most in need of it. Something is required to fortify the homemaker at such times when her spirit lags and feet are weary. Then is the moment when tasks appear to be plled even higher than they are, and a train of lesser misfortunes come to mind in the guise of great ones, discouraging the homemaker quite as | | =T 4-0 BRAVERY OF THE SORT DE- SCRIBED IS REQUIRED OF ANY | ONE WORKING SINGLE HANDED | IN A HOUSEHOLD. much as though they really were im- | mense “Working on ome’s merve” is what | such a forcing of effort is called, and there is always a lack of confidence in | better things to come, which is part of the strain of such a condition. For the sake of her own health, the tired housewife owes it to herself to cultivate the attitude of confidence MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, May 10—Day, before yesterday was a record day for | village romance with the elopement of John Gilbert and Ina Claire and the marriage of Cohstance Talmadge and ‘Townsend Netcher. Hollywod beauties whom_Gilbert has rushed at various times Jong since came t think of him as one who did not fit the role of benedict. Virginia Cherrill, Dorothy Parker and Mary Nolan won his attentions in the months past. The colony, as well as-the girls who have been the object of his admiration, regarded Ina Claire as no deeper de- stroyer of the heart than the others, although the two have been seen con- stantly at premieres when Ina Claire has been conspicuous for very marvel- ous orchids. But this is the usual Gil- bert technique. Leatrice Joy. the former wife of Gil- bert, merely stated that she wished him happiness. New names and new fates are the order of things, but now and again the old favorites bob up in movieland. Two of them were lunching in a boulevard cafe yesterday. A tall, strik- ing blonde—Naomi Childers. Still hand- some in a large, Gibsonesque way. A far cry from the tiny, sun-browned slim creatures of the films today. The type | has changed.

There is such a thing as imposing upon one's self, and most people working on nerve do so.

This gave a total of 50 for the | annual juntor-senior dinner. The class { had voted to call it a dinner instead | of a banquet since their exchequer was | too low to allow them to serve a real | banquet. At that they did not have a poor menu. They started with clear tomato soup. That was followed by creamed chicken, mashed potatoes, buttered as- | paragus, rolls. Then came a pear salad with French dressing and toasted crack- ers. The dessert was ice cream with strawberry sauce. They had coffee to drink. Nancy was a member of the school board and was asked to help the juniors plan their menu and make out their order list. any and every occasion. Her last gelatin adventure reposes in | a tin container on a shelf in a famous | morgue. Ruth Hall, whoss blonde curls were . once a feature of every magazine and | newspaper movie page, s pictured | again. But merely because she is getting a divorce, She says her husband wants | to put her second in importance to his | mother. { To--most of the moviegoers under | 25, Ruth Hall will mean nothing at all. | But to the old-timers she will mean pleasant recollections of days when movies had not become sophisticated and were the frank product of an opie dilildock type of brain. Hasty kisses, sighs. A rose pressed to the lips. An irate father brandishing a pistol. A moon (very frankly linen)—a ladder against the bedroom window—an elope- ment—pursuit. Why go on. Any mem- of the old-time audience could have written a good dozen movies had they put the energy into it. It didn’t re- quire much brain. But in that day were the handsome Leah Baird, the dashing Lillian Walker, with her unforgettable dimples, the haughty beauty of Julia Swayne Gor- jon. And In among them a few of the girls who have survived. Quite glorious- ly. Mary Pickford, Norma Talmadge, not many others. It takes a remarkable quality of charm and talent to outlast changing .times and fickle public. Old-time movie ladies had perforce to be mysterious. It was against prin- ciple to feature happines in the home, or to tell that a star was married. So far as being photographed with one’s baby—that would have been considered suicide under the old movie methods. New movies brought the family entity into Hollywood. The Gleasons, who travel as a unit—mother, father and son. Invite one to a party, and you know you are inviting all three. Their frank delight in one another is tonic. ‘Their gang spirit of work and play. Some of the old-timers had this in to sit on a glit throne and wear a leopard skin and look evil and mysterious to satis- fy the public opinion of what a movie star must be. i Movie men were rather naive them- selves. They yet to learn that more devilment can be wrought by a little slip of a thing with a retrousse nose and innocent eyes. She may know where the body is buried, but her guile is dis- arming. ‘When movie men found this out they changed the type of villainess. Holly- wood became lightsome. The world be- gan to imitate its scrawny little naughty girls and its beautiful and damned boys. And that, my children, is how I came to be here tapping a typewriter about them.

To thicken it allow one cup butter and one and one-half cups flour. Season with_pepper, salt, -onion, sugar, cloves and bay leaves. Cook the tomato with seasonings and six quarts water for one-half hour. Strain and thicken with roux of flour and butter. Count on one-third pound dressed chicken for each guest, allow two po- tatoes per person, one and one-half rolls per person. Count on 10 stalks asparagus for each guest. One pound coffee makes enough coffee for 40. One quart cream is enough for 40. That will do because there will doubtless be 10 guests who do not take coffee. One quart ice cream will serve six to eight.

Egg and Salmon Salad. Hard boil six eggs, cool, peel and cut in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and save for garnishing the salad. Mash one cupful of flaked cooked or canned salmon, and add one table- spoonful of lemon juice, one tablespoon- ful of chopped chives and enough mayonnaise to molsten. Stuff the egg whites with this, and arrange on let- tuce, filling the spaces between the eggs with diced celery and green pepper that have been seasoned with French dre ing. Rub the egg yolks through a strainer and sprinkle them quickly over the celery. Serve very cold. A little additional mayonnaise may be used to garnish each stuffed egg.

Mourns Lack of Domestic Tolerance The Chief Family Failing 2Dor0thyDix Probably Most Common Fault in Human Nature;| Yet, Strangely Enough, One of Which No One Ever Admits Being Guilty. LERANCE is the greatest of all the domestic virtues and the rarest. Not | love, not unselfishness, not self-sacrifice, not all of the cardinal virtues will go as far toward making a happy home as tolerance, yet those who would die for us if need be will not let us live in peace with our own personal opinions, beliefs and habits. At the bottom of practically every family row. is intolerance. It is what furnishes forth the meat for the daily spat over which husbands and wives quarrel as dogs over a bone. It is intolerance that makes women nag and sets men to roaming and is the answer to the query of why children leave home. Intolerance is probably the mgst common fault in human nature, yet. strangely enough, it is one to which no.one ever admits being guilty. People will confess that they are murderers and thieves and thugs and bootleggers, but never to being bigoted and intolerant. On the contrary, they. feel that they are being broadminded and liberal when they interfere with a]l of our cherished individual theorfes and ways and they count it unto themselves for righteousness when they try to force their own point of view upon us and attempt to make us mere rubber stamps of themselves because they are convinced that they are so much wiser and more intelligent than we are and, anyway, their way is the only right way. Intolerance is the first aid to divorce. The first great disillusion that any young married couple gets is when they find out that marriage is a reforming process and that each has a lot of little personal idiosyncrasies that the other simply cannot understand. In the days of courtship the. man has been led to believe that his lady love regarded him as a combination of sheik and oracle and fairy prince and Sir Galahad. Likewise, the girl has been left under the impression that in her lover's eyes she was nothing less than an angel. Imagine, then, the shock it is to a man to ascertain before they have gotten a week'sgjuurnc_\' away from the altar that his wife is bent and determined to pull him to pieces and to make him all’ over according to her own little rforated paper pattern and that she considers it her sacred duty to stop him Prom smoking and eating the kind of food he likes and singing while he is taking his bath and playing golf and indulging in a hundred other little innocuous tastes and habits in which he somehow found pleasure. B AND consider the body blow it is to & woman's vanity when, even before her honeymoon is over, the bride discovers that her young husband doesn’t admire her and consider her perfect as she is, as she fondly supposed, and that he is setting about the life work of crushing out her identity and making her a sort of echo of himself. Yet we all know plenty of marriages which should have been successes that have gone to wreck omr just this rock of intolerance. Good, kind, devoted wives who nagged their husbands about smoking until they drove them out of their homes to places where they could smoke in peace. Wives who carried on a 40 years’ war with their husbands over a religious creed or a lodge or politics or & fad or a hobby or because they liked automobiles or didn't like them. And we all know husbands who make their wives’ lives a burden to them by raising ructions about the way the wives dress and by attempting to dictate the length of their wives' skirts and whether they shall use paint and powder and lipstick and have their hair bobbed. Husbands who are always interfering about the housekeeping and snooping in the ice box and the garbage can and telling their wives that they peel the potatoes too thick and throw away stale bread and forbidding them to belong to women's clubs and criticizing their family and friends, etc. foolish husbands and wives do not realize that by the time a man and 3!5‘;\?n are grown up enough to get married their habits and tastes are fixed and that we interfere with these at our peril. . The wife will not see that it is better to have a contented husband smoking by the fireside than it is to have an angry and outraged husband slamming the front door behind him and going out to hunt the soclety of some woman who is more tolerant of tobacco than she is. The man cannot see that his wife has a hundred good qualities that offset the one to which he objects and that it is better to have a wife who keeps herself happy and contented and bright and full of interest by gadding around than one who grows dull and sour by being kept at home and who comes to look on her husband as a jailer. IR ND isn't all of this struggle between the younger and older generation and most of these tears and wailings and beatings upon the breast and dismal forebodings about what the young are coming to largely a matter of intolerance on both sides? Intolerance from youth because it refuses to be bound by the law of its elders and because it will not see that there is any viewpoint but its own. Practically every girl and boy think that their father and mother and everybody past the age of 40 are doddering dodoes who know nothing, who have never had any experience in life and who are utterly incapable of forming any intelligent opinion about the problems of the modern world. Hence these youngsters scorn the advice and warning of their elders, but if they were not 5o intolerant they could get some mighty helpful hints and save themselves from many a disaster by listening to the coansel of those who have traveled the road they are just starting out on and who know its every danger. And it is intolerance that makes us judge tHe young so harshly. We think many of the things they do are wrong merely because we didn't do them when We were young. Riding in an automobile is no more dangerpus than riding in a buggy. And tomorrow riding in an airplane will be no moré dangerous than riding in an automobile. = Also, we forget how foolish and lacking in_judgment we were when we were young and how avid for pleasure and how sure we were that we would die l:’d c’i:sappolntment if we didn’t get the thing we wanted just when we wan! 3 So it all comes down to the same thing in the énd: Toleration. That is the solution for the husband and wife problem and the children and parents’ DOROTHY DIX. problem. i (Copyright, 1920.)

FEATURES. Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. A Human Investment. In speaking of investments we too | often think of stocks, bonds, mort- | sages, and like instruments, without giving a thought to human lnves!men;ar after looking cut for our own wants, there is a surplus to devote to other things, consider a human investment. One educational authority has pro- posed investments in children who give promise of talent. They may be great artists, or scientists, or musicians, in the bud. Without the money needed to continue their education and train- ing, their talent may be lost forever. What a glorious opportunity for the woman of means! Investments in human beings should be made personally, and one should invest more than money and material aids. One should follow that sort of help with personal interest, so as to de- rive happiness as well as satisfaction. ‘The gifted child may be in your fam- ily, or a friend's family, or you may hear of her indirectly. It does not matter. Of course, there are adults, too, who require funds to develop their genius. Too often in- making human invest- ments we intrust our money with agents and agencies. If we have the time, what better thing can we do than invest our interests and sympathy as well. Find a needy family, help it over hard times, be & friend and coun- selor. Make your dollars do every good of which they are capable. When Summer is coming on, money may be used to give poor persons & few days in the country, or keep im- poverished families supplied with milk. Ingenuity is not requl to employ our dollars to create happiness’ for others, Those of us with plenty are prone to adopt an attitude that the world is a nicer place than it is, and that others’ deprivation and ering are not actual. ‘The mere accumulation of maney af- fords no one real or lasting pleasure.
