C, WEDNESDAY, \DorothyDix How women got a monopoly of the job of keeping the home fires burning wished off on them, nobody knows. Perhaps it is the result of men's su- perior intelligence and foxiness. Perhaps it just happened that way. Anyhow, that's how it is. The sole responsibility for Making a happy home and keeping its temperature at pleasant Summer warmth and the sun always shining is laid upon the wife, and when anything goes wrong and the domestic machinery slips a ccg and ceases to function without a hitch she is the one who is blamed for it. S Who Is Responsible Jor a Happy Home? Holds Husband’s Influence Paramount Reams of advice are given to women on the subject. In season and out of | season they are urged to be diligent in making their families comfortable; to keep | themselves looking pretty and vampy; to be tactful in dealing with their hus- bands; to be gay and bright and chatty and entertaining, and generally to dif- fuse an atmosphere of sweetness and light in order to make their homes attrac- tive to their husbands and children. | So sold is the entire feminine sex on the proposition that the welfare of the | family is in the wife’'s and mother's hands that millions of women work them- | selves to skin and bones trying to put into practice all the provisions of lh!.i schedule for making a happy home. Millions of women literally make burnt of- | ferings of themselves on the kitchen stove cooking the special dishes their hus- bands and children like. and milllons of women get facial paralysis wearing the smile that won't come off, trying to be human rays of sunshine in their homes. | Yet, cynically enough, in spite of all of the strenuous efforts that women put forth to make happy hom:s, and in spite of all of the crushing responsibility that they feel in the matter, the supreme homemakers, like the supreme dress- makers and milliners, are men. This may seem a bold statement and one that hurts the vanity of women. But for its confirmation, look about among your | acquaintances and you will find that every unusually successful home has at the | head of it a domestically minded man. EPTEMBER 24, 1930.

So many women write me asking how to make up their eyes that I think these few directions will help them; for what- ever one thinks about eye and cheek and lip make-up, tons ‘of colored cos- metics are sold for this, and women will use it up. They should learn to do it nicely, rather than crudely. So 1f you must (I'd prefer you didn't), here's how. Buy yourself a dark brown | eyebrow pencil if your eyebrows are fair, and a black one if they are dark, but need retouching. You can make the eyebrows longer very easily, and long eyebrows make the eyes seem larger and give them more character. Of course, the coloring mustn't show; it must be a faint shadow, going just beyond the place the hairs stop grow- ing. %uy some sort of shadow for the eye- lids. As a tiny pot will last you years, get only the best quality. Cheap qual~ ities are terrible. Having used cold cream on the eyelids first and wiped off all of it (a little is always left in the skin), take the faintest trace of color on the longest finger of your hand, rub it over the lower part of each eye- BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Relaxation. In his unique studies -of scientific| relaxation Dr. Ednmund Jacobson ‘found that even spasm of the-esophagus, car- dia (upper opening of stomach) or py- | Jorus (lower opening of stomach) amenable to this scientific relaxation. | There is neither suggestion nor hypno- | tism in progressive relaxation. It is rather an art which one must learn by careful instruction and patient prac- tice, as one learns dancing. People who complain of a “lump” in the throat or those subject to mucous colitis, many individuals who beich ex- cessively or suffer from “gas”—which is ofien nothing but air unconsciously swalldbwed—and others with one or an- other form of “indigestion” may obtain much relief from -progressive relaxa- tion. The treatment, under the physi- | cian’s instruction,/must be continued many months in order to be of lasting benefit. That this progressive relaxation is no minof method is evident in some of the complete clinical reports, Dr. Jacobson gives of cases treatéd. In one case of mucous colitis of many years standing, diet, bed rest, suggestion, enemas, medi- cines, diathermy had failed to give much relief; removal of the appendix and gall bladder was advised; the sur- geon was doubtful, so a physician sug- ested progressive relaxation. This was ge‘un in May, and by August the pa- tient had improved considerably snd no longer complained of pain and ten< derness in the abdomen. At the begin- ning of relaxation instructions the pa- tient wore “a persistent severe frown and & frequently wrinkled forehead.” ‘These are just ‘hints 16 indicate the need of sclentific relaxation. (Progres- sive relaxation “is not to be confused with the mere idleness popularly called relaxation) Finally the patient was discharged from hospital with instruc. tions to continue daily practice at home, just as one méy improve in the piano playing with practice at home. Pro- gressive relaxation requirgs much prac- tice. Six months later t& patient was able to .resume activities which had been impossible for several years. ‘The first lesson in relaxation requires that you lie comfortably on your back on & couch or recline in a comfortable chair, with arms at sides and legs not crossed. Try to “feel” or recognize con- traction in some muscle group, say in your neck, and then relax it completely. Then another muscle group, say your shoulders, and relax these, along with the neck. Next your frowning muscle, say, let that go, along with shoulders and neck. Next the muscle around your mouth and lips: let the lips go dead, along with brow, shoulders and neck. Next your eyelids; let ‘em droop as in sleep, but meanwhile don’t let your mouth, = brow, shoulders and neck tighten up again. This should become' your regular routine, all done quietly and faithfully, several times a day. After a few days you may let the chest and back muscle 80, qr let go of them, leaving the breath- ing to the diaphragm unassisted. (Copyright, 1930.)

Homes in which there is always laughter and good cheer. Sometimes these homes are lordly mansions. Just as often they are humble | cottages. Sometimes the man at the head of the house is waited on by a retinue of servants. Just as often he cuts his own grass and waters his own lawn. It doesn’t matter, for money doesn’t buy happiness, and it isn’'t what & man brings home with him that makes its happiness. It is what he puts into his home. i | These happy homes invariably have grhusband and father in them who is affectionate and genial and kindly and understanding, and who feels that it is Jjust as much up to him to help make his wife and children happy as it is to feed + them. He is not one of those men who consider that their whole responsibility to- ward their homes consists in paying the bills, He knows that no woman, even though she were a%hole League of Nations rolled into one, could keep the peace in a family in which the husband snapped and snarled like a surly dog and was so ill-tempered that no one dared even speak to him. He knows that no woman, no matter if she could offer as many stunts as a vaudeville team, can make a house pleasant and cheerful if there is a grouch sitting around with his thumbs turned down who never does anything but knock her performance, He knows that if a man wants his wife to keep on her tiptoes and to think it worth while to work and worry making him a comfortable home and saving his money he must do something to make her glad she married him, and that if he wants to keep the children at home and off the streets he must offer some counter attraction to the night club and the road house. Therefore he pals up with his wife and children. He enters into their hopes and plans. He talks things over with them and makes as much effort to enter- tain and amuse them as he would strangers whom he wished to please. Whenever you find & woman who doesn’t have to think twice before she tells her husband anything for fear of starting something; whenever you find children who think Dad is the supreme authority on every topic in the universe, and who consider it a treat to go out with him anywhere, there you will find a happy home. Only there will you find a happy home, for no woman is miracle worker enough to make one when she has to work against the adverse influence of a man who considers that his home is a place where he can exercise all the little tyrannies and vent all the temper and irritability that he has to suppress in the | outside world. 8o it is well for men tp realize that if they want Iappy homes they must quit passing the buck to their wives and lend a hand themselves. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Furnished or Unfurnished? If you have ever furnished a home or apartment of any size, you have a good idea of the expense involved. Your furniture and furnishings probably rep- resented a sizable investment. 1t requires no exceptionally keen busi- ness mind to figure the depreciation of such things. Calculating that the av- erage life of your purchases is 12 to 15 years, and adding possible maintenance charges, one’s things may show a year- 1y cost of over $1000. All of this as- home? ‘Those intending to reside per- manently in any place will find it more economical to buy furniture. Even if they buy only necessary articles, they are far better off. It is to one's advantage to present credentials and references if a furnished home is being considered. Often by establishing one's responsibility, it is possible to secuig & reduction. This be- cause the depreciation rate may be lowered, When it is a question of & long-term lease or a short lease with the home furnished, the latter 1is preferable, unless a more or less permanent resi- with neck straight instead of sagging forward, there is no place for an_un- gainly lump of fat at the nape. It is easy to see how a slonching prsture, combined with the tendency to fleshi- ness, can in time obscure the lovely lines of the neck and shoulders. Besides correcting the two basic causes cf an overfat neck, milady may hasten the cure by massage and stringent applications. = It s, of course, more convenient to have a sec- ond person give the massage, but it is possible to do it oneself. Self-mas- sage is not so restful, but in the present treatment one may exercise the flabby upper arms while massaging, thus kill- ing two birds with one stone. ‘The materials needed for the treat- ment are Epsom salts, two small Turk- ish towels, a patter, ice, boiling water and an astringent cream. Cleanse the skin thoroughly to begin with. Now dissolve eight tablespoonfuls Epsom salts in three pints of boiling water. Let the solution cool somewhat, but use it hot. Fold a towel twice lengthwise and dip the center into the liquid. Fold the two dry ends around the wet center and wring. Unfold the towel and lay it across the shoulders. Wet the other towel in the same way and lay it on the nape of the neck with the ends wrapped around to the front. Repeat the hot applications four times. Next comes the massage, which should be vigorous and deep. Massage with a heavy, circular motion from the outer sides of the shoulder blades toward the spine and up the back of the neck to the hairline, Massage five minutes. ‘The hot towel treatment is then re- peated, followed by a series of the same number of cold towels. The cold so- lution in which the towels are now moistened is made by dissolving eight tablespoonfuls of Epsom salts in one pint of boiling water; cool and add two pints of ice water. When the last cold compress has been removed, dry the skin and pat on an astringent cream. The next step is the use of a patter on shoulders and back of neck. One may buy patters at shops selling cos- metics or, if one is ingenious, one may. improvise a patter out of a rubber fly swatter. Slap the skin smartly to stimulate the circulation. Massage five minutes. Now have five more applications of hot towels and five cold ones. Finish with an ice rub over the last towel. Dry the skin thoroughly. This treatment may be simplified by substituting hot and cold rinses with a bath spray for the towels. Milady may El\l’(’e these rinses sitting in her bath ub, (Copyright, 1930.)

All of this is cited because so many women cannot understand why fur- nished apartments or houses should cost one so much more than unfur- nished ones. In some instances, the cost or rental more than an unfurnished one in the same neighborhood or building.

You overdo the cream ap- plfcation, which is the reason why the pores begin throwing it off in a short time, carrying with it the powder you had added. Vanishing cream will al- ways do that when you have used too much. You would probably obtain a much better effect if you used a very tiny bit of a fine oil cream, and worked it into the skin all over with the finger tips, then wiped off thoroughly. There would still be enough in the pores to hold the powder. The auburn haired type, such as you are, will usually have freckles, that are never unbecoming; but since you feel differently about them, try bleaching them with the juice from a piece of cut cucumber.

Autumn Diets. ‘The woman on a diet during the Summer will begin to loathe the sight of vegetables and such by this time. Or, if not now, a little later,,when the weather cools permanently. So here are some suggested changes to brighten up a diet that has become dull. Start_your luncheon with a cup of hot clam broth, hot beef tea, hot mut- ton broth, or even with hot water with one of those compressed cubes of con- somme dissolved in it. The physical heat of this alone will be enough to make a cold salad or cold stewed fruit or cold vegetables seem attractive. And you can have this sort of clear soup twice a day, before dinner as well, if you like it that often. Also, you can dispense with salads, which you have run to during the hot weather, and have your various vegeta- bles cooked and served hot. A vegeta- ble lunch or dinner, steaming hot on a large plate, giving several kinds of veg- etables, in several kinds of colors, is extremely attractive. Especlally with a poached egg sitting on the top, as many restaurants serve it. Don't forget the stimulating and heat- ing qualities of hot tea and hot coffee, though, of course, you must not drink too much of them, nor have either too strong. And, of course, any, or prac- tically any, reducing diet allows hot This. famous Mattress is used in Over a Miflion, American Homes “ o t]mt’s ]mw gootl it l's[ that nearly a As far removed the old horsehair the most com- ade—to give night’s rest.
