Tlioughtless Sister-in-Law Who Fans Bridds Natural Jealousy-Will a Sweet Girl With no Education Prove a Good Wife for a Lawyer? Should Poor Girl Accept Fur Coat

Dear Miss Dix-I am a bride very much in love with my husband. A fe\v weeks ago his sister came to visit us. She is very crazy about him. us he is her only brothel", and he is devoted to her. He tells her thlnll5 ‘ that he iloesnt even mention to me, and while I tun ilolug the housework they are in another room talking. Now she has decided that she will stay \‘.llll us all winter and go to business school, my lzuirlrzind Jiaying for everything, ulthought she has a geod home and her father is able to support her. 'lllli hurts me very much, as I had hoped to get a good start in married life and have been trying very hard to I" lomething. What is your ug- qestion? '1 JEALOUS WIFE.

AllbWOFI No other one thing has wrecked so muny niar- riages and broken up so many homes and caused

such rivers of tears to be shed as family Jealousy. in especial there is no other jealousy so devastating as that which a. woman can feel for her son's wife or which u wife can feel for her husband's mother and sisters.

Many a mother is so crazed with Jealousy at the thought of her son loving some other woman better than he does her, of his going to some other woman with his confldences and for advice, that she is urged on by the devil that possesses her into alienating him from hi5 wife by continu- ally pointing out her faults to him and fomcnting discord between them until she diives them to the divorce court.

Many young wives go through the torments of the damned and have all oi‘ their married life embittered by their senseless Jealousy of their husbands mothers and sisters and their groundless belief that they are trying to take them from thcin. Indeed, a great many wives are always jealous of the part of their husbands‘ lives in which they had no part. This jealousy extends even to their husbands‘ boyhood friends, and the first thing the average yocuig wife does it to cold-shoulder her husbands chums out of his life. y

It is a. strange thing that we do not more fully recognize what a power for evil family Jealousy is and take more precautions to guard against it. Tilt: young wife might, for instance, as in this case, try to realize that when a man marries he does not automatically break off all his old ties and cease to care for those whom he has loved all of his life.

It l5 a strange thing that we do not more fully recognize what a power for evil family Jealousy is and take more precautions to guard against it. The young wife might, for instance, as in this case, try to .'l'LlllZl‘. lhzit when a man marries he does not automatically break oil all his old ties and cease to cure for those whom he has loved all of life. liic relationship between a brother and sister who are congenial and fond of each other, is very close. They have grown up together. They have a thousand memories in common, and it is natural when they come together that they should have endless things to tall: about and enjoy each others society.

But if the wile will only look at this situation with clear eyes instead of Jaundiced ones she will see that this does not endanger her own posi-

tion. It doesirt show that her husband prefers his sister to her or loves her better or respects her opinion moie. It is Just that the man and lllx‘ sistw are in the habit of talking things over and if the wife will lis- lcn-in she will discover that they are not discussing her faults, as she imagines. but chatting about some perfectly innocuous thing. Probably nothing more personal than somebodys new automobile or what station they get best over the radio.

In a wupd, the bride should use some sense in trying to cure herself of i)“lll§ grccii-cvetl, but the husband and his family should not only heal themselves of the some affliction, but they should avoid provoking the young wife lo Jealousy. -

Certainly every man deserves to be incarcerated in a home for the feeble-minded for the balance of his life who feeds his wife‘s Jealousy by always running home to mother with his troubles and problems and who i; always sighing for mother's pies and tolling his wife how mother does things and throwing up his sisters as models to her.

Nor can any man be excused for sacrificing his wife to his family and taking the money that she has pinched pennies to save to indulge them ii. treasures and luxuries that she does not have.

And mothers and sisters should realize that when a man marries he belongs to his wife and not to them, and that they should neither seek to monopolize his time nor his pocketbook. And when mothers and sisters perceive that their beloved son and brothers wife is jealous of them the least thing they can do is to remove themselves from the scene as quickly as possible and try to convince the Jealous wife that they mean her no harm. And that is what this particular cilse calls for.

DOROTHY DIX. I l I I I I

Dear Miss Dlx-Jfbr the last month of my summer vacation I went rather regularly with a beautiful girl in my home town. She has the kindest, sweetest, most amiable disposition. She is everything a. man could pray for, and more, except that she virtually has no education, while I love the higher things ol life-good literature, drama, etc, and some day I expect to be a. lawyer. I feel that unless my wife can understand me to a reasonable extent we won't be happy, yet I am crazy about this girl. Do you think I would be happy if I married her? ALBERT. Ansxvi-r: _

Many intelligent men marry Dumb Doras and are apparently happy and contented with them. They are satisfied with a wife who is a good housekeeper, a good cook, amiable and easy to get along with. v

Their idea of a wife is a convenience and not a. companion. All they ask is a wife who will make them comfortable and they get all of the outside mental stimulus they want abroad. You must know dozens of lueh households in which the husband calls his wife "mother," where he only listens with one lobe of the brain when she tells him about the baby‘s new tooth and that the neighbors have real lace curtains at the windows and that Johnny needs shoes and to which he merely grunts by way of answer from behind his newspaper of an evening and where the silence is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

But. that kind of marriage is dull as dishwater. The ideal marriage is one in which the wife can feed her husband's soul as well as his body, the marriage in which she can enter into all of his interests and hopes and DlHllS; n wife with whom he can discuss a new play or a new book, sure of finding something stimulating in her point of view, a. wife who can keep him entertained and amused, a wife whom he can be proud and who will be a help to him in realizing his ambitions.

An uneducated woman can never be a satisfactory wife to an cdu cated man, no matter how amiable and good looking she may be. He attraction for him is only physical and as soon as that wanes they navi nothing ln common. You will find that most of the unfaithful husband: are clever men who married dull women. They ure driven to seek abroa the companionship they did not find at home. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix-—I am a young girl working in the Ei-and-IO-cent store and love pretty things. One of my many admirers wants to give me n fur coat. My mother's objects. My father thinks he should give me an Alaskan seal. We are not engaged. I want this coat very badly. Should I accept it? ' FRANZ, Answer:

Certainly not. Girls should not take expensive gifts from men to whom they are not engaged. There are two reasons for this. One is that the man always expects to be paiclfor his gift and the second is that a poor girl who wears fur coats is always under suspicion. No One believes she got it honestly. The old melodrama used to say of the noble heroine, "Rags are royal ralment. when worn for virtue}; sake." And that atiu goes even in this hard-boiled age. DORUIHY DIX.

By purblshing this Sllflnge Cake, article at this time oi‘ year when eggs are certainly not at their cheap- est, I am exposing myself to censure. But I have lrwo reasons for doing it, and two reasons are enough ex- cuse for doing anything (even mur- der, as the negro Jaappy sold as he shot the nurse when she announced _ "i/w nsl") i

My reasons are: I promised these recipes in January; and since the farmers have had such a large share of bad luck, let. us at. least help their cause by buying new laid eggs while they are getting a reasonable price for them. This is another ex- ample of “It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.‘ Even if the present high cost of eggs (and I have seen them twice as high at this time of year) is hard on ou: Iiocket books, it at least helps l u farmer to buy seed and other- iuncliiinen- talc for next summer's crop.

Many of us will make sponge cakes anyway because they are so} perfe:t to seiye at afternoon teas, and other social functions. Angel‘ food cake recipes and variations have not been included becmfsi- they were discussed in dctnl a few months tack.

Genoral Rules For suz- nsfel Sponge Cakes

The treatment oi’ eggs in making

spoge cakes is of paramount import-

anoe. As most of you know there is no ieavcnutg agent. in sponge cakes except eggs. Consequently they must be beaten separately because more air can be incorporated in the whit/cs alone than when they are in combination with the yolks. Egg yolks contain fat and consequently cannot be beaten as stiff as whites Eggs for sponge cakes are more sat- isfactory if they are three or four days old.

When the terms thick and lemon- oolorvd are used to describe the condition of yolks’ when they are beaten, it means that enough air has ibeen whipped to ‘make the yolks pnlcr, and also to thicken them as they would be in making mayonnaise. 1f the yolks are not whipped enough they may cause the cake to be tough.

The whites must not be over whipped, on the other hand. If they are beaten until "dry" the cake will be dxy. Only whip them until they are still’ enough to stand up in peaks.
