Neighborhood Children Kept Under Control

Mother Solves Problem by Organizing Miniature League of Nations.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A wise mother, moving to a new neighborhood, took a look-see at the children. When she and her husband had rented the house in April, the street seemed very quiet, as no children were in sight. , Now, good weather had produced | a crowd such as she had never seen before. Did she go to the telephone and tell her husband that it would be impossible to stay? No indeed. She said, “I must make up my mind not to be nervous. This raft of kids will be good for Jean and Jeremy. I shall have fo take stock of each family and see if we can be of some service to them, also.” Surveys Her Neighbors In time she discovered that the; children across the street were Jew-e ish, the ones in the flat at the corner, German; the Swithers were from Boston and the Readers hailed from the deep South. Then there was Moxy, an orphan who lived with a cranky grandmother; and Sibert who was hard of hearing; the Axels had eleven all told, and the Morrises, twins. First of all, she made it known that the whole community was welcome at her house. “But,” she qualified, “the first child to be mean, or pick a quarrel or play unfair is to go right home. That has to be understood.” ; She decided that toys would be broken so she made up her mind that if they were, it did not matter. And with this conflict out of her mind, she proceeded to lay in a supply of old bricks, sand, cement, boards, rope, nails and wire fencing.

Prepares Reception “I am not going in for settle- | ment work or a day nursery,” she said. “But maybe vou might call it a League of Nations. The house is old, the yard plenty big—that’s why we took this place—and fortunately the noise of youngsters doesn't bother me. After 3 p. m. I must have some peace. After that, every mother’s son of them has to clear out and stay out for the rest of the day.” There were disputes to settle sometimes, but the neighborhood seemed to understand that this was a house of truce. Jean and Jeremy did better than she had dared to expect. Both children became adept at diplomacy. It was good for them, indeed, as their mother had predicted.

And they learned that no matter what nation or section children came from they were extremely kind and normal. No prejudice ever made headway that summer. For the first time the street knew peace. The neighbors, entering into the spirit of the plan, helped all they could, buried the hatchet and became friends.

JANE JORDAN-

EAR JANE JORDAN-—I am 21 years old, married and have a little girl 1 year old. My husband and I don’t get along very well. We quarrel a lot and he has struck me several times. He goes out every night and over the week-end he goes to his mother’s. I stay by myself all this time unless my sister comes. When she comes she pays her board, not because I ask her for it but because she wants to. I have thought about leaving and going home to my mother’s, but I don’t know whether that would be so good or not. I went with him for four years and he was the only boy I ever went with steady. We were married just a few months when his mother wanted him to leave me. I don’t love my husband and he tells me that he doesn’t care about me. He never takes me anywhere and if T ask for money to go by myself he says he makes the money and he will spend it. He never has bought me any clothes, and if I get anything I have to take part of the grocery money or my mother gets it for me. I know that I am not perfect, that I have a temper like a wild cat and that I have been babied to death by my parents, My husband goes out with girls but if I did one little thing he and his mother would try to take my baby from me and she is all I live for. I am desperate and need help. DESPERATE. E-3

Answer—=The trouble with you young people is that neither of you really has broken away from home. Your parents baby you, thus leading you to expect the same type of treatment from a husband. But unfortunately your husband is something of a baby himself with & mother who perpetually makes him feel that he deserves something better than he got. Your parents ought to cut loose and leave the two of you to sink or swim by your own efforts. As long as either of you can run home for clothes or comfort or whatever it is you need, you won't accept the responsibility for your marriage, your home or your child. What you failed to realize during the four years you went together is that marriage is not ‘the same as courtship. In courtship you see your partner in love under the most favorable circumstances, when each is ready for pleasant diversion. In marriage you share your work as well as your leisure and under continued intimacy, conflicts arise. It is your method of meeting these conflicts that is wrong. Neither of you has learned to give and take. Each of you goes to pieces when his will is crossed. You've had a poor preparation for teamwork.

Sooner or later you'll have to work it out. You'll have to learn to

get along with other people and you may as well practice on each other. The best thing would be for you to move out of town and leave both families behind, but that’s not always possible. At least you can take the first step in the right direction by being less critical of your husband and more willing to adjust yourself to his ways. If he makes the same effort, there is hope for you both. JANE JORDAN.

Sun-Tan Also Available for Stay-at-Homes

By ALICIA HART

There comes a day in the life of every girl who has to stay in town, hot weather or no, when the idea of looking like a city child even though she is one—is pretty distasteful.

No matter how much she likes her job or the city she lives in or anything else about her present design for living, she finds herself envying the suntanned cheeks of her weekend hostess. She’s bored with her own pastel makeup. What to do—what to do? Well, first of all, she admits to herself that she could get more sunshine and undoubtedly acquire a coat of tan right in town. It's more fun to take sun on the beach or at a mountain resort, but still and all, it’s not difficult to take it on face and arms during a lunch hour stroll. Furthermore, the sun shines just as brightly on apartment house roofs or suburban back yards as it does in the country. . She uses a darker powder, of course, but uses it sparingly. Sometimes, she doesn’t powder at all. On such occasions, however, she applies a makeup base which matches exactly her darkened skin, a light touch of cream rouge, a generous supply

[talian Recipe For Spaghetti,

Sauce Given

Produces Well - Balanced Meal * With Green Salad and Fruit.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX Spaghetti with sauce gets asked to many hot weather one-dish meals. It produces a well-balanced meal when served with a green salad and fruit. These recipes are

from one of the best Italian chefs in the United States.

Spaghetti Sauce (Serves 4 to 6)

One-fourth pound lean beef, ground, 2 large cans tomatoes, 1 handful dried mushrooms, 2 small onions, parsley, sprig of basil, 1 clove garlic, dash of nutmeg, olive oil. Chop together garlic, parsley, basil and onion, and fry in olive oil until they begin to turn brown. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and spice and let simmer for about 2% hours. In a separate pan, brown the meat in a little butter and add to above mixture. After soaking the mushrooms in luke-warm water, chop them fine and cook in olive oil for 5 minutes. Then add to sauce. Continue to cook for another hour. Serve on spaghetti with several pieces of butter and grated Parmesan cheese. To cook your spaghetti for these sauces, use 1 gallon of salted water, boiling rapidly, for each pound of spaghetti. Do not dump the spaghetti into the water all at once, but a little at a time, so that the water will not cease boiling. Cook about 15 minutes and drain at once.

Meatless Sauce for Spaghetti (Serves 4 to 6) One-fourth pound fresh mushrooms, 2% ounces butter, 2 ounces pine kernels, 6 salted anchovies, 8 large red tomatoes, 1% onion, 1 teaspoon flour. Put half the butter in a pan and brown the pine kernels in it. Remove from pan as dry as possible and mash them. Mix with flour. Chop onion fine and brown in the same butter. Remove onion, then add tomatoes cut in pieces (re-

moving seeds). Cook tomatoes, adding salt and pepper, and when done, strain. Put the strained tomatoes back on fire, adding mushrooms cut in thin short slices and the pine kernel paste and remaining butter. Boil all for half an hour, adding water to make sauce sufficiently fluid. Then take out some of this

sauce and mash the anchovies into it, using a separate saucepan over

National B. P. W. Elects Officers At Parley Today

In junior sizes, for the young and petite who take their sports actively, this new design, Pattern 8465, is as pretty and competent as it is easy to make. The play suit is broad-shouldered, small-waisted, with square neckline and well-cut shorts. It buttons conveniently all down the front. The bonnet is merely a wide brim, tied round your head to shade your eyes. Notice the attractive triangular pockets on the play suit, the capacious depth of the bag. Making this outfit will add a lot to your good looks and comfort during play hours, and substract very little from your budget. Denim, gingham, linen or percale are good materials for it. Make the trimming bands of white or contrast.
