HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS ON HUSBAND VERSUS HIS HOME

GIVING DINNER FOR PRESIDENT AN ORDEAL Mrs. Wilbur Even Had tomorrow Tablecloths and Silver When She Entertains Coolidges.

By Allene Sumner CHAPTER VIII WASHINGTON, March 16.—Ten times a year the President of the United States is dined' by the members of his Cabinet. Thus sayeth the social law of the land. Thus it is and ever has been. Each Cabinet secretary and lady must “slaughter the fatted calf’ for the Highest of the Land. And the calf must be slaughtered not when they please, hut when the date is given them by the White House. Precedent*' is duly observed, of course, in the order in which the Cabinet entertains the President and the First Lady. The dinners begin with the Secretary- of State, of course, and end with the Secretary of Labor. Those Onion Sandwiches Once upon a time the Cabinet hosts had to invite all the rest of the Cabinet, too, which meant that the President ate his caviar and terrapin with the same group ten times a year. But if worms can turn, so can Presidents. It was too much of a good thing and today the Cabinet host generally does not invite his colleagues of the Cabinet. Story has it that once upon a time, and not so many Presidents ago. a Cabinet secretary whose rank demanded that he sit at the President's right, discovered that the President liked onion sandwiches. So, with his conversational topic discovered, he regaled the presidential ear ten times a year at

Inconvenience? Yes; But Never Pam Menstruation is Nature —but menstrual pain is NOT natural, and not necessary. Science has conquered the painful part. In a harmless —yes, healthful—little tablet called Midol. Midol is a more remarkable means of relieving such pain than even a habit-forming drug. It acts directly oil the organs affected by menstruation, and relief comes in five to seven minutes. Don’t have another day of forced quiet, of pair*, low spirits or even discomfort! Midol is effective twelve hours or more. Yet it does not depress the heart, is not narcotic, and is utterly harmless. All druggists, 50 cents, in thin aluminum box that fits the smallest purse.

i the ten Cabinet dinners with a monolog on how he liked onions, too. And Red Flannels And someone else discovered that a President once wore red flannel heavies and so did he, and they talked about that. And finally things came to such a pass that the President and his lady refused point blank, whether the State Department yeaed or nayed it, to eat ten times a year with the same people and the same conversational subjects. So the new order came. The ten cabinet families still slaughter ttje fatted calf for the President, but they invite their own guests and not the rest of the cabinet. And the guests come from the farthest corners of the nation for just this one night, so that they can tell posterity of “the night we dined with the President, and lie said—” It’s An Ordeal Not all cabinet families are rolling in wealth. Not all cabinet wives are any more accustomed to dining Presidents than the average small-town woman. It’s an awful ordeal in many cases, something to get over and trust to the Lord that no terrible “breaks" will be made. “The main worry is that the guests from out of town who don’t know Washington rules will do the correct thing,” one cabinet wife told me. The guests must be In the home or hotel private dining room before the president and Mrs. Coolidge. They must be standing, of course. “But I had one guest whp was so awed when the president came through the door that she forgot to stand up,” one harassed cabinet wife told me. Special Maid and Butler An “hired for the evening” maid stands in the hall-way to take Mrs. Coolidge’s wraps and another “hired for the evening” butler relieves the president of his high hat. A Washington caterer keeps on his staff one handsome butler whose one and only duty is to take the President's coat and hat at private home dinners. ■When one reads the society papers and sees the item “The President and Mrs. Coolidge were entertained at dinner last night by Secretary and Mrs. Blank,” one visions a setting of opulent splendor. Asa matter of fact, more than one cabinet family in Washington lives within its Income, saves, and lives no more resplendantly than any middle-class small-town family. Wilburs Don’t Splurge And the necessary entertaining of the president and Mrs. Coolidge mean?) much planning and scurrying about for fine linen, crystal and silver as it would on your Main street. Secretary Wilbur of the navy and his wife, for instance, make no attempt to fact that they ai*e just average middle-class citizens who live simply. Mrs. Wilbur makes no bor.es of the tablecloths and silver and crystal that she borrows when it is her turn to entertaiif the Coolidges. “I started planning two months ahead,” she told a friend, “and I made the pudding myself—oranges in sections and covered with a custard sauce. The president seemed to like it very much.” Last year a friend of the Wilbur

Women and Men Differ in Their Answers —You Must Be a Man, One Tells Martha Lee —Mother Writes Son Slowed in Career. By Martha Lee Here are letters received on the question t>f whether a man must sacrifice a part of his home life if he must succeed in business. ** Several days ago, I ventured an opinion that many men suffer in a business way because their wives insist that they come home early from the office. Opinions of Times readers were invited. Here they are :

Has Seen Them 'Slow Down' Dear Martha Lee: I’ll confess I never paid much attention to your letter column until attracted the* other day by the head line something to the effect that “Too Much Home‘Life May Spoil a Business Man's Career.”* I read ft with pleasure. If ever you stated facte, you did there. Asa rather elderly business man. I have again and again seen young men. who started out with great promise and brilliancy, slow down and get nowhere in particular because they were petticoat hound. I believe in home life all right, but many a woman works against her husband's best interests (and her own of course) b.v holding her husband's attention too closely to the home fires. A. E. E.

family begged for the honor of taking complete charge of the table— Its linens,’ silver, decorations, place cards. She placed an old antique candelabra In the center of the table. Mrs. Coolidge, an admirer of antiques, commented on “your beautiful old heirloom” to her host, Mr. Wilbur. The Secretary Was Clever, Too “I didn’t know what awful thing he would say,” confided Mrs. Wilbur, “but he was cute. He just said, “we packed up and left California in such a hurry that I ;ust don’t know what is old and what is new.’ ” “And you should have seen that kitchen after dinner!” summarized this cabinet hostess. “Dishes piled ten deep. You just can’t feed fourteen people and the president out of a small kitchen and keep out of a mess'” (By the way, did you ever know how the president felt on the subject of short skirts? Well, we’ll have that one and some other Coolidgitis tomorrow.)

Answer: I Am Not Dear Martha Lee: Will you frankly answer a question? Are you a man? After reading what you had to say the other day about business men who have to dance attendance to their wives after business hours. I would bet a dollar that you are. As for the average men. If they weren't busy waiting on their wives and doing things around home, why they would be out playing poker or something else with the boys, and how would that help their business? As for their business success being affected by their home life—that's just one of their excuses when they can't make good 1 MBS. SUE. A Mpther’s Letter Dear Martha Lee: In the Times last week, ? noticed an article by you that was exactly a description of my son. When he married six years ago, he was full of enthusiasm for hts business. We had given him a good education and it looked like he was going to be a big man. But his wife is one of the kind

who bothers him with every little detail. If the ice man doesn't arrive, she phones him and if the baby's bottle gets broken, or she need, anew light bulb, my son must remember it and bring It home. He knows the exact condition of the baby's health and on what day this wife shampooed her hair, but he doesn't know any more than he has to about his job and hasn't had a raise for three years and classmates of his have gone away ahead of him already. It's heartbreaking to see it. Os course he doesn't realise this and !* getting the idea that he “didn’t hare it in him” when we apeak of business plans and ideas he used to believe he would reach. I try to keep still (don't think 1 meddle) but it is hard MOTHER. /A Bit Sour Dear Martha Lee: Tho precious men must have liked your column last week when you told them they were abused it they had to hurry home after business hours. You certainly don’t know what you re talking about, for because a woman would say to her husband. “Hurry home this evening" is no reason he would I Most of them can congratulate themselves that any woman would want them to hurry home. What I think is. that it's too bad that women are not more independent. It's too bad that they have to get so wound up in their husbands that they think they can’t be happy unless they are with them. Women are too soft, anst way. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. Wife Is -Suspicious Dear Martha Lee: In your paper last week when you said too much home life often limits a man's business success. I want to say that I think you were right. If I could step to a drug store without my wife having to know why I'm going end without her actinig as if she had suspicions it I don't want to say absolutely. Id appreciate it. “JIM." Acts as Head of Family Dear Martha Lee: I am a woman who

has had to take a man’s place in the home for four years and I want to say that it has taught me to be in sympathy with the man who has the whole burden of tho home on his shoulders. Os course, he is only doing his duty, but he needs encouragement and not other burdens outside of office hours. As for getting home early. I think the average man. if his home is pleasant and attractive, will get there as soon as he can. Home seems good after the day's grind. ONE WHO TAKES A MAN S PLACE. ' Constant Battle for Time Dear Martha Lee: You certainly struck the nail on the head with your home life versus business success letter last week. I know, because 1 have a constant battle to gte time that I need. My wife is a wonderful woman, but just does not see that if I give time to social and other affairs that she constantly plans I don’t have time to make a living. It is certainlly H that wives can t see this. A MERE MAN. Don’t Trust Enough Dear Martha Lee: What is the matter with most wives is that they do not trust their husbands enough. When they want* them to hurry home and be with them most of the time, it's often just that they think they are safer that way. Maybe they are! MRS. MATTIE.
