Ve EAR Mrs. Post: When send- ing out visiting card invi- tations, is there any time a Joint Mr. and Mrs. card may be sent?” Answer—Whenever the husband is to be present. But for a woman's lunch or bridge party send the wife’s card alone. Or if she pen stroke through the “Mr.” “My dear Mrs. Post: When enter- taining a party of friends at a club, is it incorrect for the host to take the hostess in to dinner?” Answer — I'm afraid I don’t know not —except at a little table of four —seat a man next to his wife! The thought of a man taking his own'wife into dinner at a dinner party is gro- tesque, and for'a strange man and a strange woman to give a dinner to- gether would be equally odd. The host should sit between the oldest ladies present or else between those whom he and his wife know least well. “Dear Mrs. Post: If the man of the house answers the door and the visitor has come to sq his wife, does he invite her in or call his wife to the door to extend the invitation? Perhaps the visitor is someone his wife does mnot want to sce, and how could. this situ- ation be handled?” Answer—He would either invite the visitor in, or he would say that his wife is not at home; or else he would say that he has just come in and does not know whether his wife is home, in which case he would have to go to see, then come back and say that she is out. “Dear Mrs. Post: My 14-year-old daughter would like to have me enter- tain two of her teachers, with whom I am acquainted but do not know very well. Will you tell me just how to go about such an invitation?” Answer—Invite them to lunch or in- vite them to come in on a definite after- noon and have & cup of tea with you. “Dear Mrs. Post: There is a girl coming to visit our family for several days. Before I knew that she was coming I asked another girl to go to a dance the same night the guest-girl arrives, Which one of the girls should I take to the dance, and how should I go about changing the plans if your answer is ‘the guest’?” Answer—You will have to take both, or you will have to explain to the first girl why you must give up going to the dance.

It was decided that the Page family, the Lacey and the Miller family would have an afternoon out of doors. They all dressed warmly and went out to & neighboring park. Here they made huge snowballs, skated, slid and generally worked up an appetite. Home they went to the Page house, with its warm rooms and roaring fire. “I think this is an imposition, Nancy. !'We should not come to eat you out of house and home.” “Imposition nothing, Roger. You are going to have split pea soup, crisp crackers, canned f{ruit and cookies. That's all, but there’s plenty of every- thing, so let's start.” The day before Nancy had soaked one pint of dried, split yellow peas. The next day she had drained them and cooked until soft in about two quarts of water. When they were soft she dipped out the peas and put them through a ricer. In the meantime she seasoned the liquid. She used one table- spoonful salt, one teaspoonful pepper, and some dsied herbs which had been tled in & cheesecloth bag. These were removed after 10 or 15 minutes. She added the peas puree, plus one can of bouillon diluted with water to make one pint. Then, when the mixture be- gan to boll, she stirred in a roux made | four tablespoonfuls flour. lhnd been bubbling in a frying pan. The of four tablespoonfuls shortening and | This roux | NN \\\ NN AN \\ soup was stirred and cooked for 10 minutes. Then it was ready to serve. At serving time, she added one-half pint of top milk or cream. Nancy might have cooked a ham develop a meaty-flavored soup. Flank Steak. Melt two tablesspoonfuls of butter in a frying pan. Slice one large onion and brown in butter. When the onion is brown, remove it from the pan. Cut one flank steak in strips, dip them in flour, and cook in butter.

GROUP of women was discussing the ups and, downs of matrimony the other day and one of them said: “When & woman gets married, keeping her home together is just as definitely her business as it is for her husband to keep his bank or his profession or his store a going concern, and if she makes a success of it she has to have pretty much the same qualities he has, and use the same tactics that he does. “She has to have courage and grit and stick-at-ive-ness, and good, hard horse sense to make a go of marriage. She has to be a good enough rt to take punishment without whining. Many a time she will be on the verge of bankruptcy and be temj to throw her hands and quit, but if she has pluck and gumption she can nearly always muddle through somehow, “AND it is worth all it costs, for saving her home isn't solely & senti- mental matter with a woman. It is salvaging her life work, for in this country, at least, the great majority of young people have nothing when they marry. They are as poor as Job's turkey and the wife does her part in making the fortune by hard work and self-denial, and if at middle age she is thrown out with a pittance of alimony she loses all she has slaved for. No women are more piteous than the grass widows who haven't even a tombstone to attach themselves to, and who go drifting aimlessly about with no object in life. “Therefore it is up to every woman to protect herself from such a fate if she possibly can, and it is a danger that threatens every wife who has a good-looking and attractive husband, and especially if she has a husband who has made money. There is always some woman younger and better looking than the wife who thinks she would like to step into the wife's silver-buckled shoes, and, alas, not every husband’s middle name is Joseph. 6T AM not justifying the men. Far from it. They should be strong and noble n{nd able to resist temptation, but we have to take ‘em as We find ’em. We have to admit that a young and slim woman is easler to look at than a middle-aged fat one, and that a man would be more than mortal if he wasn't flattered by a flapper young enough to be his daughter making him believe that she had fallen for his irresistible charms. “That is the way it happens in life, and, as I said, there are very few women with personable husbands who haven't had to face a bitter hour in which they saw a rival on the horizon, and realize that their hold on their husbands was slipping and the foundations of their homes giving way under their feet. Then the concrete question is, What to do? Most women meet the situation green-eyed and furious and with tears and reproaches, which is simpiy playing into the enemy’s hand. “FOR any man, especially one with a guilty conscience, would flee from a nagging and lachrymose wife to a siren who was all smiles and good nature and flatteries and cajoleries, and who would choke off the still, small voice in his soul by telling him that his wife didn’t understand him and she did. “Now, I have had my little round or two with the vamps, and the way I have routed them is by giving my husband an overdose of their society. When he begins to spruce up and buy new neckties and shave twice a day, I do as the detectives do. I look for the woman in the case, and when I find her I throw her in my husband’s teeth, so to speak, morning, noon and night. €Y AM very fond of my husband and I have spoiled him to death. I know his every whim and taste and I have catered to them, and so when I suddenly cease doing this and leave him to the tender mercies of a woman who doesn't know his little pecullarities and who wouldn’t bother with them if she did, it doesn’t take him long to get disillusioned and come running back to mother with a peace offering. “It doesn’t take him long to discover that the woman who will not listen to his stories lacks intelligence, and that the one who doesn't like the things he does has no taste, or for him to get peeved with one who keeps him waiting, or to become disgusted with one who does not know how to make him comfortable. Believe me, there is nothing like giving & husband a close-up on a lady love to make him see that she hasn't as many charms as his wife.” ¢¢] CURED my husband of an incipient tendency to roam by scaring him,” sald another woman. “When he began to step out with a pretty girl, I began bombarding him with anonymous letters. One said, ‘Do you think your wife is staying at home at night while you are out enjoying yourself?’ Another said, ‘Your wife is young and pretty. Do you think she has lost her attractions for men?’ These made him sit up and take notice, for he had never thought that perhaps I might be having an affair of my own. Finally, when he got a letter asking ‘Who is that handsome man from out of town who takes your wife joy-riding as soon s you shbit the door?’ that finished it. It made him afraid even to step out to the corner to buy a paper of an evening.” DOROTHY DIX. (Copyrieht, 1933.) MODES | =———OF THE MOMENT OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Preparation. we seb out on a serious un make th plans with cautious exactness. artist studies for years and the builder scrutinizes every foot of the land, every foot and pound of material. One makes ready for whatever end he has in view. When we are rearing a child we seem to forget that this, too, is a mat- ter for preparation. We are preparing this child for the time when he will B vord ™ Weare ‘preparing bim 1o world. We are endure, to struggle, to win in a keen competition where only his own strength can ald nim. But we don't like to think about that. We draw the child close to us. He is ours. We will hold him, comfort and please him. times we can train him & little so that he will not be too much trouble to us and the neighbors we do that tod. Not very sensible, is it? We say very glibly, *Childhood is a preparation for manhood,” and we go on letting childhood take care of itself and ignore the time to come, By that attitude we hinder the children. In order to prepare them for their future we must first discipline and prepare ourselves. We know that these chil- dren will have to face all that we have faced and more. The sooner we set :;out getting them ready the better for em. ‘Then let us stop babying children long past the need for it. Let us ac- cept the dignity and the individuality of childhood. Allow each child to do whatever his hand finds to do with all his might and stop pitying the poor child because he has to work so hard. Hard work never hurt anybody. Wrong thinking has killed its hosts. Work saves them. Children can do their les- sons and their chores and play hours on end and never turn a hair. They can carry responsibility if they get a chance. Little Mary's mother was delayed long past time to start the evening meal. “Come along, Mary. Let's get dinner ready. Your father will be coming in soon and it will be nice to have dinner all ready for him and save mother when she comes in all worn out with her burrying.” “I can't go into the kitchen,” said Mary primly. “My mother doesn’t al- low me to touch the gas stove and she doesn’t like me to mess up the kitchen. We'd better wait.” ‘That isn't preparing Mary for what is waiting for her around the corner. Far better that she learn to help her- self and other people right now, so that when the day of necessity arrives she is prepared. I know a little girl of three who can make a fine pie. She is unusual but the idea underlying the preparation her mother has been mak- ing is not, ought ‘not to be unusual. We parents and teachers are duty bound to make preparations for the children’s future by training them from the start to do a thorough job within their ability in whatever situation faces them daily. You can't produce an ef- ficlent man or woman over night. Ef- ficlent maturity is born of a long period of preparation, in childhood. (Copyright, 1932.)

(Note: Today Uncle Ray commences a new series about famous authors. He will write about Poe, Irving, Kipling and O. Henry, as well as Scott. If you have not yet started to clip the Corner to save, this is a good time to com- mence.) I was 13 years old the boys of my neighborhood held a circus. The “menag- erie” was composed of chick- ens, ducks, dogs and cats penned up in boxes. In one of the acts I took the part of Roderick Dhu, and another boy was supposed to be Fitz- James. With wooden swords, we had a duel. Before the mock battle com- menced, I threw away my shield— because Fitz-James had no shield. If you know the famous poem, “The Lady of the Lake,” you can tell the rest of that story. It ended sadly for Rod- erick Dhu. Sir Walter Scott was 38 years old when he wrote “The Lady of the Lake.” He was of Scotch blood, the son of a lawyer who lived in Edinburgh. A tale is told about Scott when he was a very small boy, perhaps 3 years of age. There was a thunderstorm, and his aunt went to look for him on & hill- side. She found him lying down and looking up at the lightning. At each flash he would shout “Bonny! Bonny!” which meant, in the Scotch way of speaking, “Good!” or “Pretty!” Scott was a bright-minded boy, but he did not get along well at school. In later years he said that he had been “an idle imp who always longed to do metmu else” than what he was told 0. Sad to say, he was made lame by an fllness in his early childhood. This lameness lasted all his life. At the age of 21 Scott became & lawyer, but his heart was not in the law. He wanted to write, and in the years which followed his dream came true. He wrote long poems and novels, some of which are now studied in school. One of his most famous novels is “Ivanhoe.” Like some of his other books, this one goes back ta the middle ages for its scene. A boy or girl 14 years old or more is likely to find ““Ivanhoe” very exciting after six or eight chapters have been read. “Kenfl- worth” is another famous novel which was written by Scott. Scott became a partner in a printing firm and the firm went bankrupt. After that, for many long years, the author kept writing, writing and writing in an effort to pay the firm’s debts. His books were extremely successful, and because of them he was given the honor of knighthood. That is why we call him “Sir Walter.” (For “Blography” section of your scrapbook.) UNCLE RAY.
