WOMEN’S FEATURES. Yesteryear’s Breakfast Dishes Form Main Course of Today’s Dinner. Shopping in Washington ||Old Cook -Book' Yields Recipes Entirely Suited To Kitchenette Dining School Must TouchSpark Of Infinite Authority Has Basis in Spirit, Shining Like Lamp. BY ANGELO PATRL OME teachers, whom parents write to me about, mistake the quality of their authority, They seem to feel that keeping school is some sort of a game between themselves and the children, In which one pits himself against the other, and the one who has the power wins. They forget that achool is a life experience, and it is their business to make that life ex- perience as fine as possible. They still think that education is a matter of books, tests, records, marks, discipline. ‘That's a grave error. Education is a far deeper thing than any and all| these. Hidden In each child is a &park of the infinite. Unless the teach- er touches that, she has accomplished nothing. Any teacher, who thinks that what| she says is reasonable, wise and logical and what the child says is impudence is in danger. After all, what she says and does is the pattern that she wants the child to follow. Impudence in a child is apt to be an echo of her own speech and manner. If she doesn't like it she knows whom to blame— herself. No teacher should think of a child as “that young monkey who dnesn‘t‘l seem to understand that I am his teacher. When I speak to him he looks straight at me and considers whether or not he will answer. He has yet to learn that what I say is law. He thinks he is as good as I am. The impudence of him.” That attitude will render the teach- er’s work useless. There should never be a question as to a child’s being better than his teacher. The only question that can stand between a| child and his teacher is, “What can I| do to serve the child?” One day Michael was hurrying along the corridor to meet his group in the playground. In passing he brushed none too gently against his teacher, who was standing in the way. “You unqualified pig,” she higsed. “The same for you,” he answered. No grown person has any right to eay anything like that to a child. A little carelessness in manners is not an unpardonable offense. When a teacher says something to a child| that she would not dare to say to a | grown-up, the child is justified in speaking up. Can you blame Michael if he grumbled, “Aw, the old crab. She gives me a pain in the neck. What do they think? I'm no Mr. Milk- toast, and I'm not going to stand there like a gump and never say a word.” | The teacher should abandon an old | notion, long cherished, that her age and position give license to impose on children. She has to give up that idea completely. The fact that she has lived longer and is a hundred pounds heavier does not give her thel right to make a child surrender his | personality. It does impose respon- sibility. As she is strong, she should | be merciful. From her, to whom much | has been given, much is expected. Authority does not come of the law. 1t comes of the spirit. You speak with | authority only when you have gained wisdom by long suffering, by trial and | triumph. For the authority that really counts with children shines like a lighted lamp and puts mellowness and understanding into the tones of your voice. | (Copyright. 1935.) My Neighbor Says: Don't rake up all the leaves that fall on the lawn. They help to fertilize the grass. Use a silver-plated fork when stirring rice or cereals. If stirred with a spoon they are likely to be pasty. Cut Winter squash in quarters or eighths as you would a ple, put into oven and bake. Take from oven when baked, put a small piece of butter on each piece, salt, pepper and serve im- mediately. Pour soups through a piece of white cheesecloth that has been wet in cold water. This will re- move any grease that may have risen to the top of soups. S The Formal Fabric in THHE ' EVENING ‘STA the Informal Length Is an Autumn High Light for Late Afternoon. Left: Gold matelasse w velvet. with silver cording. BY MARGARET WARNER. TREET-length frocks for bridge, tea and the cocktail hour, | fashioned of matelasse and vel- vet but designed on simple | lines, are proving to be outstanding | successes and are just about as smart | as anything you could wish for. CD\<‘ ered by the long coat, these frocks are | hidden from view while you are going | to and from your engagement, yet | when the coat is slipped off, a really beautiful dress is revealed that will even see you through dinner, unless it be a quite formal affair. A frock of this type that is suitable for so many occasions will often give you more in return for your investment than the more formal gown, and at this time | when so many social activities are | just beginning this frock is practi- | cally a necessity in every wardrobe. The high light of this mode is the frock of gold or silver lame made on | tailored lines with small shirtwaist collar, long plain sleeves and skirt with gored front fullness. There is often & neck bow and sometimes a | matching belt of bright color—blue, { red or green—in which case a small hat of the same color would be the | transparent, made of braided bands ideal complement to a perfect en- semble. Here is where your individ- { uality comes in after you have chosen | is set on at the top of the braided your frock. o ONE shop is making quite a special of these ‘smart street-length lames at $29.75. Of silver in that not-too-bright effect best suited to daytime wear, one of these frocks has & small shirtwaist collar and the long sleeves continue onto the shoul- -der, forming a narrow yoke front and back. A bow of bright sapphire-blue velvet gives the keynote for other accessories. The gold lame dress sketched has more than the usual amount of interest at the neck, with its green velvet vest and iws, and wide revers. Not all the lames are pure silver or gold. At a slightly lower price we found a beauty in rich green with a brocaded surface and just a sug- gestion of metallic glint. Rhinestone clips hold the little stitched collar band at each side before it ties in a HOUSEHOLD ARTS PATTERN 5455 ‘Winter—are you getting ready for it with knifted ciothes—the fashion's highlight this season? Start this suit now. It really serves as a two-piece dress and is in one of those striped stitches that are so handsome and simple to do at the same time. The front of the jacket has the popular military clos- 4ng, in this case formed of very simple frogs. The collar is in plain knitting and rolls under to give the flattering rolled effect so much used now.

N AN old book entitled “Break- fast Dishes,” I came across sev- eral recipes that would make a de- liclous main course for the kitch- enette housekeeper’s dinner. Certainly, very few of us nowadays would have the time or the digestive apparatus to cope with the 5 . breakfasts which . ‘were so popular of yore, and it seems a pity to let these tasty and unusual concoctions van- ish into limbo when they could be used to such advantage atan- other me Kidneys are among the least expensive of meats to bpe found fust now, and here is a tempt- ing way to prepare them: KIDNEYS MAITRE D'HOTEL (for two). Split and cut in two, lengthwise, four lambs’ kidneys. Pierce them with a skewer to keep them flat and then dip them in melted butter and fine bread crumbs. Season well with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice. Broil for five minutes and serve hot with MAITRE D'HOTEL BUTTER. Melt one-quarter pound butter, add | to it one tablespoon finely chopped | parsley, two teaspoons lemon juice and a dash of grated nutmeg. CURRIED SALMON. Place in a saucepan one tablespoon butter and one teblespoon finely chopped onion. Cook slowly together | until the onion changes color. Add one tablespoon flour and one tea- Blend these well with the butter and onion mixture | and then add a generous half pint of | milk. When smooth add more sea- soning, then let mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. Add one medium- sized can of salmon, broken in fairly large pleces, and allow all to cook gently for about 15 minutes longer. Serve hot, with steamed rice and chutney. OYSTERS IN BLANKETS. Wash and wipe eight large oysters. Have ready the same number of slices of bacon and roll one around each | oyster, fastening securely with tooth- picks. Put them in a shallow pan, and broil until the bacon is crisp. Serve on very hot platter, garnished with lemon and parsley. SARDINES SAUTE. Drain the oil from a can of large sardines. Fry the fish quick’y in melt- | ed butter, dust with paprika and sprin- | Dorothy Betsy Caswell. kle lemon juice over them. Serve hot with tartare sauce. CHICKEN ROLLS. ‘Take as many round bakery rolls as there are persons to be served. Cut a slice from the top of each and scoop out all the soft inside portion, leaving only the crust. Crumb the soft bread very fine and fry it in a little melted butter. Add to this one cup of white | cream sauce and as much chopped cooked chicken as will fill the rolls. Season well with cayenne, salt, pepper and a little celery salt. Fill the rolls with this mixture, put a slice of hard- boiled egg on top of each and set in the oven for a few moments to become very hot before serving. Boned chicken from a jar could be used for this dish if there is no left-over cooked chicken | in the house. WEEKLY KITCHENETTE MENUS. MONDAY. Pepper Pot Soup. Kidueys Maitre d'Hotel.

Dix Says Mutual Appreciation Between Husband and Wife Makes Marriage Happy. HE sovereign preventive of di-| vorce is appreciation. More marriages are wrecked by the lack of a few kind words than by any other cause. You have to lubricate the domestic machinery with a little of the oil of flattery to keep it from breaking down. Getting married does not automat- | ically turn on ordinary faulty human | being Every husband and wife have peculi- arities and prejudices and cantanker- ous little ways that the other must put up with. Every marriage calls for self-sacrifice and labor. Every home is literally built with the blood | and sweat of its occupants, and! whether or not all of this self-ab-| negation and work and worry and anxiety is worth while depends alto- gether on the attitude of the husband and wife toward each other. | | If they show they recognize and appreciate the efforts that each puts forth to make the other happy and| comfortable, all is well and good lnd‘» happiness reigns in that household. | But if each takes all that the other does for granted without even saying “thank you,” every sagrifice becomes, a grievance, the performance of every | duty & martyrdom. It is so easy and | s0 sweet to do things for those who burn a little of the incense of grati- tude at our feet, and so hard and so bitter to be compelled to do things for those who accept our offerings as no more than their right and not half of what they deserve. o THOUSANDS upon thousands of let- | ters come to this column from disgruntled husbands and wives tell- ing of marriages that are failures. Cynical men write that their wives regard them as nothing but cash reg- isters, that they are slave drivers who are willing to work them to death to get the luxuries they crave. Disil- lusioned women complain that they are nothing but a household conven- | fence to their husbands and that their husbands never notice them except to ' g find fault if something goes wrong | with the human gadget and the floor isn't swept or the roast is burned. “I spend my life toiling for my family,” says the man. “I slave through cold Winters and hot Sum- | mers while my wife and children go off to Palm Beach and the mountains. I never take a vacation of more than | a week. I wear last year's overcoat while my wife has two new cloaks: But do you think that my wife realizes that I make any sacrifices for her and the children? Does she ever think that I would like a little of the money I make for myself and that I have tastes that I would like to gratify? Not a bit of it. She as- sumes that I have -some peculiarity of disposition that makes me prefer drudgery to playing, and instead of being grateful for what I give her, she is dissatisfied because it isn't more.” * x ok x ‘HE woman says: “I work my fin- gers to the bone to make my hus- band comfortable. I pinch every pen- ny to try to save his money and walk | blocks and blocks to find cut-rate butchers and cheap vegetables. I spend hours every day over the cook stove preparing the dishes he likes. “I do without the smart clothes I love because I won't run him in debt. I've dropped out of the clubs I enjoy because they take time and money that we can't afford. I do without the amusements I crave because I try to do a good job as wife and mother. But does my husband ever give me the glad hand? “Never. He just takes it for granted | into a pin-feathered angel.' that I like to look shabby and that | the only thing I really get a kick out of is cooking and scrubbing, and that I prefer pushing a perambulator to riding in a Rolls-Royce.” * % x x BUT how the picture would change if it were lighted up by a little appreciation. Nothing can alter the basic facts of marriage. For the aver- age man it must always be a grind of hard work to support his family. He is sold into domestic slavery on his wedding day, but his fetters are gilded and become a treasure that he hugs| to his breast instead of a chain that galls him if his wife shows him daily and hourly how she appreciates all of the sacrifices he makes for her and the children, and if she tells him that she thinks that no hero has anything on the man who lays his life on the altar of duty. And how it would rob a wife's lot of all of its hardness and turn it into an Elysium if only her husband would show her a little appreciation! If only he would notice what she did for him, If only he would praise her cooking and her economies and tell her how grateful he was to her for her help and her devotion. It isn’t that wives mind working and doing without things. It is their husbands being so dumb about praising them for it that gets on their nerves. It is appreciation that we all crave, and if husbands and wivés would show each other more of it, it would stop divorce. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1835.) “Sold at All Good Paint and Hardware Stores” WOMEN’'S FEA New Version, Old Theme Shirtwaist Dress Makes Its Reappearance, BY BARBARA BELL. OMEN love this dress. It comes back with every season. It is the type of thing Chanel does per- | fectly, a simple frock, becoming and | easy to wear. They say Paris is “his- ! torically” minded this season, and that is all very well, in its way. But don’t for a moment overlook the fact that while all the great designers are doing Renaissance things and mili- | tary clothes, and gowns that follow | the Greek tradition, they are also | making wearable little frocks like the one illustrated for the serious business of living. There is nothing that so illustrates the fashion of today as the shirtwaist dress. There may be differences in | detail, but the basic idea is a one- | piece dress, as this is, with round col- lar, and a nice belt toradd interest to | the design. This dress has leg o | mutton sleeves, which are new and smart this season. These are gath- | ered in at the armhole and finished | with & turned-back cuff.

Pointing Is Permissible In Museur BY EMILY POST. "DEAR MRS. POST: When a friend and I were in a museum re- cently I pointed up to the detail in the painted ceiling so as to direct her eye to it. Whereupon she made a very caustic remark about my point- ing, which I still think she had no excuse for making. What is your opinion?” Answer: It is true that ordinarily | it is bad manners to “point.” But toward a far-away object in a museum or art gallery or toward any object | | on exhibition should be considered an ! exceptional circumstance. It is hardly | necessary to add that one never points at a person. | “Dear Mrs. Post: Do you consider it permissible to knit during a lecture? There has been a variance of opinion and we would like to have yours to see which of ours is closest to right.” | Answer: I see nothing improper in the fact of a person’s knitting in an audience. At least I can answer for myself that I do not mind talking to an audierice sprinkled with knitters. Personally, I would not mind if the entire audience were knitting. To me it has a friendly and informal at- | | ‘ | mosphere. However. I have had many speakers write me to protest against what they consider a discourtesy and find very distracting. Therefore, when | in doubt as to how the speaker feels |on this point, the safest plan would ! be not to knit during the course of his | lecture. If you cannot knit without keeping your eyes fixed upon your knitting sthen the discourtesy becomes ‘actual, because it would be discon- | certing to a speaker to talk to people | who won't look at him. In giving my | approval I was thinking of the habitual | knitters, who look up constantly with | faces that are just as alive as those of people whose hands are properly folded in their laps. e ooking Hint In boiling corned beef, add a small | onion, a pinch of ginger, a few cloves, and a bay leaf.

Permanents May Be Used AtAnyTime - ‘Healthy Hair Needed for Good Results in Treatment. BY ELSIE PIERCE. WHEN permanents were first born, or, rather, invented, only the very rich and the very courageous | dared to have their waves pressed | into place. Gradually the perma- | nent became perfect, prejudice died ! down, more women tried giving the lie to Nature. But somehow the idea | persisted that Summer was the only season for steaming. But the Summertime permanent | has, happily, gone the way of the | saturday night bath. Women so often | ask me, “How often shall I get a | permanent?” And I say, “As often as you need one.” Just as they ask, | “How often shall I shampoo my | hair?” And the answer always is, “As frequently as it needs shame pooing.” Some hair grows out a good deal | faster than others. I've known the | same wave, given by the same op- eiator, under precisely the same cone ditions, to last only three months on one head and as much as five or six on another. The answer? The difference is accountable only by the | rapidity with which the hair grows out True, some waves are weaker than others, but that's another point ene tirely. It is quite an art to turn out a wave that is strong, that will | stand up and that at the same time | is not tight or ki A wave that is “strong” and yet “soft” is ideal. That's the type being turned out by the hundreds today Three Requisites. Three requisites to the perfect pere manent are: First, your hair must be in good condition. Healthy hair with enough natural oil in it is bound to take a better wave than hair that is dry, limp or lifeless. Hair that has been abused by overexposure to the sun should be reconditioned before a permanent is attempted. The nicest part of living in this modern day and age is the fact that hair can actually be built up in a single sitting—unl of course, it is in extremely pool health. The second requisite is: Choosing & good operator and being guided by his or her advice as to the best method for your particular type and texture of hair. Put your head literally in an expert’s hands. But that doesn't mean that you need be ignorant or indifferent to the supplies being used. Take up the pads, ex- amine them, make sure they have never been used before and see that they bear the stamp of the wave you are getting. The wave done, the third and really most important step is caring for it. Have an oil shampoo after the wave and treat yourself to oil shampoos frequently to keep the hair soft and pliable. Give your hair as much care, brushing, etc, before as after the permanent. | ——_——— i Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. | Soothsayers. HOSE who know the truth about soothsayers (and there are many of them) wonder why so many other | people still believe in demon demolish= ers, dream interpreters, soothsayers, | palm readers and their ilk. Believe it or not, there are still a few million people who consult astrologers every time they make an investment. This information comes straight from the precincts of Wall Street. And then I know of at least two Congress- men who consulted the guardians of astrology before they entered upon their campaigns in the last general election. Just now the movies, which stick pretty close to the imagination of the multitudes, are featuring astrology. There’s nothing really curious about the demand for fakirs. It would ap- pear that an outstanding charactere of human beings is that they are always looking for some one or some= thing to make the uncertain certain.
