“THE HOUSE OF THE THREE SISTERS"—Michael Ton 814, ond his brother, Johnny, 4, admire

the candy confection created by Miss Marjorie. Brink.

By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE Times Homes Editor

ANDY HOUSES pose construction problems as well as real onés. Builders must search for scarce

materials, make last-minute substitutions, change color schemes.

That's been the experience of Mrs. Larry Brink, 4008 N. Pennsylvania St., and her daughter, Miss Marjorie Brink. This holiday seasqn both have created confection houses made of hard candy, gum drops, icing and candy canes, It’s an old story to Mrs. Brink. She inherited the idea from Mrs. Ray Schakel, 4544 Guilford Ave. has been a builder ever since. Mrs. Brink says the custom is “older than time,” a German tradition. Always it~-has been a family affair. Mr. Brink cuts out a plywood board for the house to stand upon. Then the cardboard house (ordinary doll style) is situated. It’s coated with icing to simulate mortar. Hard candy is the building material. =» » s CHOCOLATE CHIPS formerly composed the roof. They didn’t hold up so hard candy squares were substituted.- The squares make a pattern that imitates shingles. The house is faced with brick, red and white peppermint drops. Candy canes. make the lintels and “strengthen” the eaves. The chimney is spice drops, Le shutters and window sills gree gum drops. On its door is a green gum drop wreath with a blob of red icing for a bow. A second thin glaze is spread over the house, with even thinner icing to make the icicles. The fire is angel hair, the

walk anise squares. Over all is.

manufactured snow from a box. Dime store trees and fence complete the setting. This doll world appeals to children because it recalls the Hansel and Gretel story to

them, Mrs. Brink says. They're delighted with the effect, often help with the construction.

But it takes knack and patience, Mrs. Brink stresses. Shop keepers won't separate candies colorwise. Thus a much larger quantity must be bought than is actually mised. These have to be separated, then arranged in dishes when the building is to begin. = = " THE COLOR scheme depends on the candy that’s found, must often be revised since it's difficult to find. Paper houses also are going on the scarce list, according to the Brinks. “One must always be on the lookout,” ‘Mrs. Brink says.

{ To Purposeful

By MURIEL LAWRENCE substance a reader writes to me:

“Your recent article on an alcoholic father did not tell the mother to take her

child—and leave him. Please tell women with this problem what to do. After. years of struggle with poverty and : disgust, I still do not know whether or not to go on liv- ~ ing with with my children’s drunken father. ... ) I would not dare to presume to do what this reader asks. I would not dare to presume to tell anyone to leave an alcoholic husband

an action should express a conviction that it is good and : t to leave him. Ngnt tol a mother with an Mrs. Lawrence alcoholic husband believed herself, beyond shadow of doubt, that her action was good and right, the action would probably be hesitating, guilt-ridden and frightened. rie » n IF MY READER had ever been convinced that it was good and right to take her children and leave her husband, she would have done so long ago. Since she has not done so, we can enly assume that she has not been so convinced. Our convictions of what is good and fright are based on a set of life values. Thus, what my

reader needs is not counsel on action from me or

anyone else, but a set of life values to which she can refer in life emergencies. A set of life values is developing from our reactions to life experience which no other per-

son’s experience duplicates, and the development of such-values is just about the most personal responsibility we have. :

# 8 un <i . HOWEVER, though I cannot give anyone else a set of them, 1 do possess an incomplete, but increasing set of my own. It would come to my aid in a problem like my reader's. Given an coholic father to my children, a father who had ‘rejected all my efforts to persuade him to seek treatment for his illness, I would separate myself from him, ° I would do this in obedience to one of my principles in my set of life values—the human right to give and receive love that serves a useful purpose. s ” »

IF I WERE led to conclude that my love for my alcoholic husband was serving no useful purpose, I would admit this failure. Then, knowing that where love meets no response, a vacuum is created which breeds frustration, hate and self-pity, I would relieve my husband, my children and myself of life in such a vacuum. The principle upon which I would be operating would be my understanding of Christianity. 1 would follow the counsel Jesus gave his students when they set out with their gift of love to human beings. He said, “Whosoever shall not receive vou, nor hear your words, when ye depart from that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.” Wise people never tell us what action to take on problems, but devote themselves to helping us figure-out principles for action. They know that if there is no principle back of action, it is blind, dependent, needing constant reassurance

because it is not based on our own set of life

values, Thus we do not have the patience or strength to follow where it leads.
