C, |DorothyDix| Feed Him or Listen to Him or Cling to Him for Support, and You Can Marry Whom You Please. Gives Pcinters on_Snaring a husband How to Get Your Man A YOUNG woman who frankly admits that she desires to marry asks me how to catch a husband. Well, daughter, that is a hard question to answer, for there are just as many ways of getting your man as there are different kinds of men, and the tactics that work on one will fail with another. A girl has to vary her technique o suit the individual, and the situation is further complicated by her having to work under cover. | It would be easy enough for every Tm to marry if she could just come out| and woo the man in the open, and tell him that he looked goos to her, and that she would like t> have him fcr her husband, and if she could “sell” herself to him by calling ettention to her good points, and telling him what a good cook she was, and how she could make a dollar work overtime, and how com- | fortable and happy she could make him. . Unfortunately a lot of fool conventions prevent a woman from taking this | short cut to the altar. It isn't considered “nice” for a girl to see a man first. She has to sit up and wait until he happens to notice her. Or at least the fiztion that he discevered her has to be kept up. She can’t frankly pursue her quarry with flowers and chocolates and attentions as a man does his. She has to camouflage her traps, and when she is most running after a man she has to MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, The habit of slapping small babies when they molest the home furnishings is probably one cof th> commoncst of parental punishments. The slapping may not be done in a mean way, the glrenl may not even be angry. She onestly thinks that th's is a legitimate way to teach her child not to tcuch Suppose baby pul's a bock from the family tab'e and tears it to pieces. angry. Also she wants to prevent this happening again. So sho slaps the baby’s hands. a smart and stinging blow.

We know there is a perfectly good rule of psychology (Thcrndyke) which says, “Attach annoyance to a responss and it is weakened.” Surely slapping is an annoyance to the child, as is all pain. But in the above case the annoyance was not attached to the touching of the cbject, but to the mother, who is en- tirely outside of the situation. Had the peges of the book cut baby's finger as he tore them apart, he would have howled and dropped the sheets and in the future lcoked with mistrust at all books. Had the book toppled on him as he pulled it off and given him a bang on the head, he would not need to be told that he must not pull bocks from the table. He would probably cry at the sight ct one. Many objects have the child the dangars of handling them Hot stoves, radiators, knives and scis- sors are all self-punishers. But we are the child’s protectors and cannot allow him to handle these objects in order to discover their natural penalties. We have to keep them out of his way. Most of the things which we tell children they must not touch carry no penalties. They are harmless so far as the child is concerned. S> instead of ynvenunl the child from repeating the forbidden activity, slapping merely pre- vents him from doing around. He runs like a deer with ghe forbidden treasure in his hand. "He waits until our back is turned to shoot like an arrow straight for the prohibited spot. He is not afraid of doing what he has been slapped for doing. He is afraid only of his mother who does the Our leaflet on “Obedience SbpropHate pubishments than slapping; te pu en an slapping, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope enclosed ':m: any reader’s request will it . h‘!‘l:wlnl’z“ a punishment is never successful.

Beck, who has been a student of Shakespeare all his life, suggests in that address that the poet and playwright, whose “Comedy of Errors” was produced then and possibly written for it, had been a student at Gray's Inn during the so-called “missing years,” 1585-1592.

For example, you forget to mail a letter on your way to work, or you forget to get | a pound of coffee on the way back. ‘There must be some reason for such annoying “foigettings.” Your mind operates on a twin-center | mechanism. One center has to do with your outside world; the other with your inside world, commonly called your| “gelf” or personality. Ordinarily, these two centers of at- tention function normally—that is, the center which has to do with your outside world is dominant. The self-| center is a sort of hazy background | just prominent enough in its stirrings to keep you aware of who, what and where you are, with perhaps some ad- | ditional awareness of the ordinary pro- | prieties of civilized existence. | Now and then you drift over to the self-center so completely that you mo- mentarily lose all awareness of your outside world. ‘The self-center momen- | tarily plays the leading role. | The vast majority of these self-cen- | tered states may be charged up to those | heroic mental dramas called day- dreams.

As a dry skin wrinkles and fades | much more quickly than does the average or oily skin, it is necessary for a girl who has such a complexion to and throat. The problem of cleansing also gives the woman with a dry com- plexion quite a little concern, as she well knows that the wrong cleansing methods will only make her skin drier than ever—dry even to the point where These whose skin is average find it a good plan to wash it twice a day—in the morning and again at bedtime.

At least, we have a card table that will elways look like new, for the framework is of wrought iron and the top is of a composition which is im- pervious to dampness, thus making it | ideal for the serving of hot or cold bev- erages. But that is not the best part of it— on each corner is a little hinged tray of pewter. This takes care of the cup, glasses and smoking accessories which are so annoying on the top of the table. This is the kind of table we like to have about .the house for other uses than card-playing. The typewriter and solid foundations while in operation and 1t would be difficult to find any- thing better than this for the purpose. To match this table there are wrought-iron chairs with upholstered seat and strip across the back. Four of these and the table form a very delight- ful group for the sun room, porch or terrace. The wrought-iron part of these might be finished in black, green, red, yellow or blue and the upholstery of the chairs selected in a contrasting shade which harmonizes rather than matches. Prench or Italian pottery C:FI and tea plates would be attractive with this table, and doilies of checked linen might be made for the pewter trays. (Copyright, 1930.) LEEDS. cleansing, I recommend the washing at night. Unless the skin is absolutely clean it cannot function properly. So at night first remove the surface grime with a cleansing cream or oil and then wash, the well with a mild soap and tepid water, rinsing off every par- ticle of soap in tepid water also. As a final rinse use cold water, which is a stimulant and also an t. U the water proves too harsk for the dry skin soften it by the addition of corn- meal, oatmeal or almond rgeal. The meal may be put into little bags and one of these thrown into the wash basin of water. Next massage with a skin food or tissue cream. Apply the cream with fingertips around the eyes, under the chin .and across the path of the wrinkles. Smooth the wrinkles out with a gently pattering movement of the cushions of the fingertips, much as one might smooth out a piece of wrinkled tissue paper. From three to five min- utes is usually sufficient for this mas- sage, after this wipe off the excess cream, leaving just a thin film on over- night. If the skin is showing lines and wrinkles over the entire face many find that wearing a facial mask all night is a wonderful aild toward eradicating these. The mask may be a silk stocking cut off, with slits cut for the eyes, nose and mouth. With the tissue cream on the skin and such a mask to smooth out the wrinkles, mHady will notice a vast improvement in even one week's time. A good massage cream for a dry skin may be made of the following ingredi- ents: Oil of sweet almonds, three ounces; white wax, one-half ounce; lanolin, one ounce: rosew: ounces: oil of rose geranium,, rops. Melt the lanolin and wax in a double boiler, beat together thoroughly, add the almond oil slowly, blend in the rosewater. Remove from fire and when nearly cold add the oil of rose and beat well together. Place in jars and cover when cold. o Chicken Shortcake. Make two thin layers of biscuit dough. Spread one layer thickly with butter, put the other on it and bake until a golden brown. Separate them and spread the lower one with left-over chicken cut into small pieces and warmed with chicken gravy or in & rich white sauce seasoned with salt, white pepper and mace. Put on the other layer of biscuit and serve very hot with a generous allowance of gravy or sauce. M ms may be added to the sauce if desired. Unless there is chicken gravy or stock in the sauce this dish will be flat in flavor. A can of condensed chicken broth added to the sauce will solve the problem. | s it washes . . blues rinses . . starches dries for the Iine_!
