PAGE 4 Wife Seeks Counsel on Social Life

Should She Go Out With Another in Absence Of Husband?

Jane Jordan will help you with your problems by her answers to your questions in this column.

EAR JANE JORDAN—

1 am a young married

woman working in this city "and living with my sister and brother-in-law. = My husband

is working out of town for a while. My sister and brother-in-law took me to a couple of dances and invited a fellow who works in my brother-in-law’s office to go. My husband knew about it and didn’t object, but several of the family do not think it is right. ' We are all invited to another dance in two weeks and I would appreciate your help in this matter. WAITING.

ANSWER—In sophisticated ecircles people are not shocked to see a woman with another mau in the absence of her husband, particularly when she is under the chaperonage of members of her own family. But in narrow, provincial circles, a significance far beyond the actual meaning of so casual an occurerice is attached to the appearance of a married woman with a man not her husband. Your family knows this and wishes to warn you. : What you are to do- about it depends upon what kind of person you are and what you value in life. If you are unaffected by what people say you can do as you please; but if you are dependent upon the approval of ~ your own social group for your happiness in life you would do “well to accept their standards whether you like them or not. If you were not affected, would you have written the letter? DEAR JANE JORDAN—What makes men from the ages of 40 to 60 like to speak to me? I'm only 22, not bad-looking but not pretty. I'm just an average person. I am not wilde I never run around. I do not drink, smoke and am a hard person to talk to. Everywhere I go, even if people don’t know me, some men are always saying “hello” to me or some word of greeting. Several weeks ago I was in Chicago. Almost 10 or 12 men would say something to me as I was walking down the street. I would not care so much if I knew them but I never saw them before or after that. Does everyone speak to strangers, just to be friendly. If not; why do they speak to me. Please don’t just throw this away for I’m almost ready for Madison thinking of this silly puzzle. PUZZLED.

ANSWER—Why be upset by the advances of mashers? Nearly every woman under 60 years has had strangers speak to her at some time or other. She simply ignores these incidents without reacting with either pleasure or annoyance. A woman walking alone in a good neighborhood or bad, preoccupied with her own affairs; is more or less unconscious of other people on the street. They're just part of the scenery, and if they stare at her or even speak she doesn’t notice it. But if she is timid, self-conscious and suspicious of men, sometimes halfLoping for the attention she despises, something in her bearing singles her out and encourages the mashers. Don’t look for such advances and they won't be made, at least not often, and then what of it? JANE JORDAN.

“How do you make a hot tamale?” The little man who asked the question of Miss Nancy Todd, Central Library technical department head, was flushed and excited. “My tamale stand is ready for business. The sign is up. Customers are coming and I can’t find my recipe.” Miss Todd found the right cook book and the man rushed back to serve his public. Restaurateurs aren't the only

men who study cook books with a purpose, according to Miss Todd.

Men Call For Help

Numerous Indianapolis men about town pride themselves on ability to turn out culinary masterpieces. When they are puzzled by some fancy dish, they turn up at the library for help. Master salad dressing “mixologists” constantly are seeking new ideas and foreign and specialized American recipes are in demand by the men and their wives. “From nine in the morning until nine at night cook books are in constant use. They are as popular as any other type of volume, excluding fiction, in the building,” Miss Todd said. She recalled the dilemna of a young bride whose menu called for a Brown Betty pudding for dinner, but didn’t provide the recipe. The demand for cook books had exhausted the supply the day she sought one at the library. The new husband probably went ‘“dessertless” that night.

Brides Like ‘Books For Two’

“A cook book for two” is the plea of brides. Fancy buffet-supper dishes and candy recipes are the joy

Recipe Books Popular Among Men, City Librarian Reports

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS

of college girls. Miss Todd reported that during the holiday season there was seldom a candy or cake recipe book on the reserve shelves. Even the public in 1759 was in= terested in eating. One collection of musty vellum-bound volumes which today is read avidly by food connoisseurs bears the donor plate of an Indianapolis man, the late Wright Marble. Mr. Marble was at one ‘time the steward of the old Bates House and the Hotel Denison. These books not only tell you how to achieve crepe suzettes but reveal interesting sidelights about history, psychology and manners.

“Lady” Adds to Knowledge

A “lady” seldom wrote books even on the feminine subject of cooking in 1758, it seems. Nevertheless, “The Art of Cookery” by “A Lady” was published containing the amusing note: “If I have not wrote in the high polite stile, I hope I shall be forgiven, for my intention is to instruct the lower sort of this and that.” Interspersed among the recipes is the “lady’s” note, “It eats very well.”

Today’s Pattern

Attitude of Child Held Important

Mental Habits of Early Life Called Result Of Feeling.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

When we speak of habits in a childs usually it is about manners, kindness, regularity, punctuality and so on. But actually, there is something far more important than any of these. The habit of feeling The way the child feels about this world is the way he will be. It is called-attitude. The way any man looks at things and his place in the world either makes or unmakes him. And so we should do our best to give every little boy and girl a healthy viewpoint toward life. I have always stressed the virtue of “work habit.” It has to be ingrained early to count for anything at all. Neither mentally lazy nor physically lazy children will ever be happy. It just cannot happen. Rich and poor alike must teach their children to bustle abotu and get things done. Why? Because they will not learn to love exertion later, and the really lagy ones get to thinking that the slightest task or the smallest responsibility will kill them. Interest Is Revivifying

Just what work is, depends on attitude. It is suprising how the mind suddenly can bounce a supposedly tired body up and about when something very exciting or pleasing happens. ‘A girl who has gone to bed presumably exhausted after a busy day, has been known to get an astonishing amount of sudden strength when invited to go to a party. She can dance all night and come in at dawn with a laugh and song on her lips. We are all that way. Our trouble is in classifying the things we like to do. And usually we do not like to do much. And then there is the child whose mother and aunts and grandmas say all too frequently, “Dalsy is the weak one of the family, She is not strong enough to help with the dishes.” Maybe Daisy isn’t, but repeating it to her day after day will not make her stronger. She may grow into a woman feeling so sorry for herself that never a smile will brighten her features. And she will get out of breath easily and let everything and everybody wait.

Attitude Affects Invalidism

Of course, if there is any part of her body that will not function properly, or if some illness has left her with a permanent deficiency, such as a bad heart, she must be cared for and watched. But even here, except for her to be told that she must not do certain things, she should not grow up with the mental attitude of the confirmed invalid. In fact, she may outgrow what was considered incurable, if she is not alarmed perpetually about herself. There are so many things. Another is a deep-seated unhappiness caused by the parents’ resentment against fate. It passes on to the child at once. And it may sour him against the world forever, robbing him of the chance to be happy when he can. These early mental habits are the result of feeling. Not thinking. The wholesome mind is seldom too sorry for itself, hustles itself out of tight places, gets over knocks when they come without brooding, does not take health too gloomily without any real reason, thinks of others instead of self much of the time, and above all, has some fun. As the child thinks, so will be the man or womgn. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Solution to Previous P agblem By W. E. KENNY American Bridge League Sicretary

LTHOUGH East did nif double, because South was in the only contract that he wanted (o play, and he feared that a douliiz would disclose his trump length ind thus cost him a trick, he was 1iot to be blamed for feeling confid:int that he could defeat the contre ct. It seemed an absolute certainty when the dummy wen: down, showing the void in truup. He could not see any way kv which South could prevent hiri from making four trump tricks. But many seemingly impossibl¢ things happen at the bridge taile, and East found his confidenci in his cards sadly misplaced.

of hearts was won with dummy’s ace. The detlarer saw that he had to be lucky to make his contract. Hoping for the best, he led the queen of clubs from dummy. East covered with the king, and South won with the ace. Now two rounds of spades disclosed that East still held the queen, jack, nine and eight of spades, while South held the ten, six, three and two. South led next the ace of diamonds, then the seven, which he won with the king in the dummy. A diamond was returned and ruffed. South then cashed the ten of clubs and led another club to the

jack, and, when East followed suit, the contract was in. East still held his four trump, but he had no way of stopping South from making the ten, and thus cinching his contract. An unusual hand distribution was handled cleverly by declarer. (Copyright. 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Salads With

Character Suggested

Accompanying Vegetables Sometimes Must Be Curtailed.

By NEA Service Some salads have strong charace ter. For variety, use this kind. But remember, when a heavier salad is on the menu, it is wise to cut down a little on the other vegetables.

Chiffonade Salad

(4 to 6 serving)

Mixed greens, 3% cup french dresse ing, 14 teaspoon onion juice, 1 hardcooked egg (chopped), 2 tablespoons minced beets, 2 teaspoons minced parsley. Rub salad bowl lightly with garlic, Wash and dry and chill a combi nation of romaine, watercress, endive, escarole and lettuce. Toss in bowl. Add egg, onion juice, and all the other ingredients and pour on french dressing. Toss lightly until

(dressing has wrapped its blessing

about all the greens. Do not mix until just before serving.

Vegetable Salad

(4 to 6 servings) One cup chopped celery, 1 cup shredded red cabbage, 4 cup chopped green pepper, 1 tablespoon chopped raw celery, 1 cup chopped raw carrot, 1 cup unbuttered cooked peas, % cup french dressing. Marinate all these ingredients in french dressing. Then arrange on bed of crisp lettuce. Pour on a lite tle more dressing.

Stuffed Beet Salad

(6 servings)

Six perfect beets, 2 hard-cooked eggs, 1 green pepper, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, léttuce. Cook beets. Cool and peel. Scoop . out large pocket in center of each beet. Chop peprer, hard-cooked egg and scooped-out part of beet, Moisten with mayonnaise to which a little cayenne pepper has been added. Arrange each beet on bed of crisp lettuce and dot with mayonnaise. The least hint of garlic in almost all salads makes a strong appeal for flavor. Place a clove of garlic in your jar of French dressing. It will add excellence such as French chefg insist on.

Simple Routines Repeated Most Effective Helps

~

By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer The very simplest beauty routines, repeated regularly, do far more good than complicated ones which you go through haphazardly only now and then. This year, how about sticking to the fine hair-brushing resolution you have been making and breaking ever since your mother stopped brushing your hair for you?

Brush Hair Every Night

There are no two ways about it— if you brush every ‘night for at least five minutes, you will have brighter, glossier hair and a scalp that’s free of dandruff and dry cuticle in less than three months, You might, during dull January, when your social life just nae turally subsides a little, treat your face and throat to a three-step facial every night. You know, ‘cleansing properly, applying night cream and massaging it in with the proper strokes, finishing with tonic. Repeat every night for a month, then look to your complexion. Exercise Important Are you going to try to lose the pound or two you . gained during the holidays or are you going to go right on eating everything ° in sight, thereby gaining another pound during 1937, another in 1938, and so on until you are actually fat? This ought to be a good time to break yourself of the taxi habit or the street car habit or whatever it is you take to save walking a few blocks. Exercise is important.

Wedding . Is Announced

Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Leonard have announced the marriage of their, daughter, Miss Dorothy Leonard, to Vollie Rifner Jr. The wedding took place Dec. 23, 1035, in Nashville, Ind,
