WOMAN’S PAGE. Variations in Making of Salads BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKI Salads, never really out of season, take a more conspicuous place upon the :rrml menu than on the Winter bill fare. Perhaps no single feature of a home-set table is as capable of variety as this. One might say that the number | THE _EVOLUTION OF SALADS AD- MITS OF MANY CHANGES TO- DAY, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED. of combinations now acceptable in salad form is limitless. The reason that one says “now ac- ceptable” is that it is but a few years ago that the varieties were much more limited. Also there are many salads PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM Physiology of Rest. No matter whether the trouble be tuberculosis of lung or joint, acute ap- pendicitis, a broken leg, writer's cramp, laryngitis, duodenal ulcer, valvular heart disease or simple corysa, rest is the first essential for cure. and one resorts to yest by compulsion, by instinct, by chance, or by advice of physician. No- body ever thinks of publishing a testi- monial to the reme value of rest. There is no incentive for either the healed or thc healer to do so. If your cat or dog licks his wounds ‘Wwhile they are healing, you are duly impressed with the promptness of heal- ing under such treatment. You ignore the factor of rest, just as the cat or dog loes. But the cat or dog is more adept in the healing of wounds with rest than you are, even if you use the remedy; for the animal knows instinctively how to relax, and your instincts are more or lless modified by education and custom. You've observed in your own experi- ence, I hope, how. promptly beneficial thorough relaxation is when you have ® sharp coryza. When the irritation, the oozing, the sneezing, the throat clearing. the constant impulse to swal- low, the annoying desire to cough, and all the maddening discomfort of the attack are at peak level, what to do, ‘what to do? I just give up and crawl into the little old beddy and snuggle under the eiderdown. If one happens to have such a coryza, all the annoying symptoms invariably subside when com- ‘plete relaxation comes. You might say the relaxation comes as 2 consequence of the relief of the ailment. I belleve the relief of the ailment is due to the yelaxation. I mention coryza because it is so famillar.

EAR MISS DIX: I have an adoring husband. He is an extremely handsome and charming man, a college graduate and a perfect lover, whose love- making grows more ardent and more beautiful as the years go on. But here is the catch. He would do anything in the world for me except work. He would die for me, but he won't keep a job. He is a pensive, poetic dreamer who just can’t bear the thought of a thing. We nrtes shab!l)(}".d R e | what_our parents are kind enoug! ve_us. 1 h‘twl":ltp:an a woman do with a husband like that, I ask you? I am so | discouraged I think of leaving him and trying to support myself, but I can never decide whether. I will be better off with new, respectable clothes and no one to love me, or with the most loving husband in the world and wornout rags to wear. What is the answer to my problem? BLUE ROSE. Answer.—Tt seems to me that the very best proof of love that & man can | give to a woman is when he rolls up his sleeves and goes to work to support | her in comfort. Words are cheap. It is easy enough and pleasant enough for | a man to tell a woman how he adores her, and quote poetry to her, and he | may mean it, or he may be just merely a sentimentalist and fancy himself | in the role of a romantic lover. ‘When a man says it with standing behind a counter when he would like | to be out loafing in the sunshine or going fishing, or amusing himself; when | he says it by‘pounding a sledge hammer eight hours a day or sticking to his desk through Summer heat and Winter cold, in order that his wife may be Kkept soft and comfortable, it is a proof of devotion that there is no arguing about. His love is a tangible thing. It is something for which he is willing to sacrifice himself. He toils that his wife may rest. He gives up his ease and comfort that she may have luxuries. He buys her frills and furbelows with weariness, With blood and sweat, and no man can show greater love than this. Personally, T shouldn't lend a very attentive ear to the love-making of a husband who was willing to let me live on charity, and wear my relatives’ cast- off clothing and stand off the bill collector, while he wrote a sohnet to my eyebrows and told me that I wes the only woman in the world for him. I would feel that if he really cared for me he would get out and hustle a little and bring in the bacon instead of a new madrigal. But the great majority of women do not take this view c(_!hp subject. Most wives put more strength on soft talk than they do on hard labor and I get innumerable letters from lachrymose ladies who wail out that they are heartbroken because, although their husbands are faithful and domestic and support them in luxury, they know that they do not love them because they never tell them so. Of course, the poor husbands naturally think that when a man slaves like & dray horse to give his wife a fine house and a good car and imported gowns, she might deduce from that fact that he had some affection for her without his having to tell her so. He thinks it is as unnecessary for a man who gives an everyday performance of being a perfect husband, to go about proclaiming the state of his affections as it would for him to go arouhd telling everybody that he was an honest man or a good doctor or a successful grocer, but women don't feel that way about it. So there we are. Of course, when a woman has a husband who will not work, he will not work, and that's that. There is no magic that she can use that will turn a loafer into a hustler. or put pep in the pepless or bracé up the spinal cord of one without backbone. Nor can you turn a dreamer into a practical man who will sce his opportunities and grab them. 1t is useless for a wife who is married to that kind of man to try to change ! him. There is just something left out of him that she can’t put into him, and | she wears herself out and breaks her heart in vain, in trying to do it.. Only two courses are open to her in dealing with him. One is to divorce him and put him entirely out of her life. The other is to don the breeches, 80 to speak, and go out and make the living for the family herself, and just accept him as he is and make the best of him on that basis, as many a man does with a no-account, impractical wife. Sometimes this dreamy, shiftless sort of man is so sweet in nature, so pleasant to get along with, so interesting a companion and so affectionate that he is worth his board and keep, and his wife is happler with him than she would be with a less agreeable man who was a go-getter. It is up to you to decide whether you would rather be fed on sentiment or filet mignon. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.)

The one thing about which all doctors agree is that a person coming down with acute | | what-have-you should go to bed, if only few a few hours. Doctors know the| healing_power of relaxation, and they know that the only way to make the average dub relax is to coax or order him into bed. When he dozes or sleeps he is bound to relax. If he sits up or keeps about, he can’t relax even if he tries. His amateurish efforts are de- feated by his own ineptitude. (Copyright, 1930).

Y. LARVEX Things t6 Think About a Lot. Yesterday at luncheon a woman neighbor spoke to us about buying a lot. The idea of being a land owner was quite an exciting one to her, At her elbow was a rather thoughtful woman with extensive experience in real es- tate. Oddly enough, she did not share the enthusiasm of the new land owner. She began to ask questions about the purchase, and invariably the new land owner “never thought of that.” Pirst of all, while the lot was situated in a beautiful locality, it was not ac- cessible to the city. One might wait for generations before the locality would be developed. Meanwhile one would pay taxes and assessments. Although a new community was “pro- Jected,” it existed on paper in the plans and prospectus of the development com- pany. It might be quite a while before the development would be a fact. The now not-so-happy land-owner had her contract of sale with her, It erect a dwelling on the property cost- ing not less than $10.000. There were many other restrictions on the property that would hinder one if resale weére desired. e g o e o WA inatals Btacw New 1x ork Wity payment plan, but failure promptly invoked all sorts of penalties of a serious nature, especially to a woman with other attachable property. Although sanguine hopes were held forth by the development company and flamboyant assurances of generous ap- preciation in value were given, failure to provide for resale to the company did not tend to increase one's confidence in its promises. The new land owner had purchased the lot as an investment, which to us it seemed certainly not to be. to pay bought in hopes 6f realizing a profit on an assured appreciation in value. Even as a speculation it was undesirable, be- cause little or no market apparently would exist for the property for & long while. on the | face of it, it was purely speculative, | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

It’s one of those lovely feather-weight tweeds in fashionable green coloring all the smart young things are choosing for sports and spectator sports. A youthful idea is the front closing with buttons from neckline to waistline that emphasize basque effect of brief bodice. The buttons of skirt secure tight hipline and add length to the silhouette. A narrow green suede belt marks the normal waistline. The dipping hem of circular skirt is intresting detail. Pockets placed diagonally at either side of front are sportive.

OU will wonder, once you've used Kotex, how you ever managed to get along without it. For here is sanitary protection that is designed to fit; designed to pro- tect comfortably for hours. Naturally, one feels safe, secure —because Kotex is made of a mar- velous absorbent called Cellucotton (not cotton) absorbent wadding. Cellucotton is cellulose substance which, for sanitary purposes, per- forms the same function as the softest cotton, with five times the absorbency. That means five times the security. Hospitals prefer it ‘Throughout America, the leading hospitals (85% of them) now use Kotex absorbent. This preference of hospital authorities should guide every woman's choice of sanitary protection. What does one seck, besides quick, thorough absorbency? Softness, forone thing. And Kotex offers a lasting softness—not a mere surface downiness which soon packs into chafing hardness. Kotex is adjustable. You can remove layers of the filler. It may be worn on either side—doesn’t have to be used in a certain speci- fied way. You get the same, com- plete protection. ‘The fact that Kotex is so easily disposed of has changed the hygienic habits of millions of women the world over., Kotex Company, Chicago, Ill.

There is a vast dif- ference, I have been told, between macaroons made according to this old recipe and the sort you buy elsewhere.
