Winifred Black Discusses the “Always Late Husband”

1 HOME-COMING DELA Y
REASON FOR DIVORCE
Perhaps there’s Another Cause for This Break
Thinks Famous Writer Than the Fact That
Husband Comes Home Late for Dinner
I - ' By WINIFRED BLACK
r|RETTY as a pink and good natured too but she simply can’t
a atand it to have her husband make her wait dinner for him
every night of her life. So she’s gone to court and asked for a
divorce and it looks now as if she’d get It
* I don’t blame her a bit do you?
Late to dinner every night just because
he doesn't want to put himself out to get there
on time or maybe he does it just to tease his
wife.
Perhaps he likes to see her eyes flash—
Well wouldn’t it be fun to make his eyes
fla«h once in awhile just for a change?
How about having dinner an hour or so late
when he came home tired and hungry.
How about getting dinner ready at the right
time and let it stand and get cold—just like
that!
But after all wouldn’t it be easy enough to
have things for dinner that could be prepared
at the last minute when she heard husband’s
step at the door?
Provoking oh yes but so is life provoking
in a good many much subtler ways.
• Maybe the wife is fussy and nervous and irritable and always
ahead of time always pushing poking advising hurrying—and
perhaps husband has to slow up a little to even things up a bit
No Sara I wouldn’t divorce my husband just because he was
I late for dinner not even if he <
were late seven evenings of the
week.
Jack think how stupid it
would be to be in time for din-
ner yourself and have no dinner
to eat
And then sometime you might
feel that you’d be willing to
jwait an hour or so just to see
opposite you at the table the
faoe you loved when you were
young the face that meant a
refuge from care and a protec-
tion from the world for you and
yours.
Don’t hurry so fast Sara
take it a little easier. Go for a
walk these stormy evenings
bundle yourself up and tie your-
self in and step out and have a
party with the snow flakes. Go
on a lonesome road where you
can sing at the top of your voice
and take a dance step or two if
i you feel so inclined.
Watch the queer little tracks
in the snow follow them for a
little way and see where they
lead.
Laugh in the very teeth of the
' wind get home a little late
yourself fall of life gaiety and
fun. Husband won’t mind wait-
ing for his steak or his chop if
the right sort of a good natured
laafbing wife is there to cook it
fer him.
Get your husband out of your
tnfnd a few hours a day forget
him for awhile him and his
faults and his fault-findings.
.When all is said and done he’s i
► __ - . ■
the best friend you have in the
world after all. Why don’t you
keep him friendly even if you
have to wait for dinner once in
awhile?
What’s a dinner compared to
a lifetime of loneliness and dis-
illusion?
No I don’t blame you for be-
ing cross once in awhile but I
do blame you for getting a di-
vorce for such a thing as that
I wonder if there isn’t an-
other reason somewhere in the
background?

Helpful Hints
Delicate colored furniture should
never be washed with soap and
water but should be cleaned with
rifted whiting applied with a slightly
moistened cloth and then wiped off
with a piece of old flannel wrung out
of clear cold water and polished
with a piece of silk.
• • •
To make floor-cleaning easier take
a piece of two-inch board large
enough to set a pail upon. Bore
hole* one and one-half inch from
each corner and Insert casters. The
pail can then lie pushed from place
to place with the foot and save a
great deal of unnecessary lifting.
• • •
Make a padded cushion of velvet
three by four inches. Inserting a
piece of cardboard to stiffen and
stuffing with cotton. Add a strap
of tape for the hand. This will make
a very convenient iitUe brush or
velvet hats.

Love’s Awakening Steadfast Woman j
■■■M' ..By Adele Garrison—-
Prince Georges and Mary Plan to “Throw a Party” in Celebra-
tion of Their Engagement.
^jB ART’S cheeks and lips were-
1*1 •*!Iloat devoid of color when
I finished my revelation to
her of the real Identity of the young
rj nmn she had known as Gecrge Jack-
i ton. That my little speech had been
ridiculously grandiose 1 was well
aware but Man's attitude toward
her suddenly-acquired fiance was eo
blatantly flippant and that of Prince
Georges so shocked and surprised
that I felt niy stilted announcement
was the only possible means of bring-
ing Mary to a realization of what
her rash engagement really meant.
8ht> looked at me almost vacantly
for a fleeting second after I had told
her that 'George Jackson” was
Prince Georges nephew of the King
of Trees and second in euceeestou
to the throne. Then with conscious-
ness of the full meaning of my words
dawning In her eyes she turned
toward the young man watching her
With tense anxiety and took a etep
toward him exactly I told myself.
liXe a bewildered child warily ap-
preaching some puzzling object
The young prince held out his
hands to her appealingly. "Mary:"
he said breathlessly.
The color rushed back Into her
cheeks and lips and her eves were
suddenly atarrv. 1 saw only too plain
ly that the realization of what uay
announcement meant was like a
draught of heady wine or a dnee of
a potent drug. Whatever her reac-
tions might be later. Just now she
was lhioalcated with thf sudden fan-
tastic vision of hersHf as a possible
future queen. In this dazzling mo
"iont she had forgotten her lo\e for
Noel Verltxen. and the fact that she
deliberately had manouevered her
engagement to "George Jackson for
the sole purpose of "getting even
with Noel because be had acceded to
Princess Olina'a proposal of
marriage.
Old World Courtesy.
••George.” she murmured with an
air of pretty deference and an up-
ward glance of her ej ae calculated to
•weep any young man from the
moorings of dignity. Her hands had
gone out to meet his. and he grasped
them tightly and drew her toward
him impetuously. The average youth
would have hugged her rapturousty.
regardless of my presence hut the
background of ceremonious tradition
held with the young prince and
when ahe was almost tn his arm* he
stopped and murmuring something
In his own language with ap tntona-
tion which was In itself a caress he
bent to her hands held tn hie. and
t kissed them reverently.
Itwns • pretty tableau hut I had
the feeling of its being simply that.
-a fantastic thing of the same gossa-
mer texture as Georges’ Infatuation
for Mary and the dazzling allure
ment of his rank which was tempo-
rarily swaying the girl. Noiselessly.
I turned to slip exvay from the room
but Mary's quick perception sensed
my withdrawal and I heard a dis-
tinct note of panic In her peremptory
call of ’*Aunue Madge!"
I turned back to find the tableau
dlMolved and Prtnc# Georgea smil-
ing tenderly at hie newly acquired
fiancee. I guessed that Mary’s wish
for me was to him an evidence of
timidity and shrinking moat natural
In a girl of plebeian birth who had
just discovered that her betrothed
was second In succession to the
throne. With difficulty I suppressed
a sardonic little sinUs at his mistake.
For I was sure that Mary's call held
only a fear of being ieft alone with
him until she should have had time
to anahrze her own reactions to the
surprising news of bis identity.
Planning a Party.
"I did not mean to startle you.
dearest." the young prince said
tenderly. “But of course 1 realize
that all this is most overwhelming to
you. I think 1 would better leave you
to yourself for a little while. But I
do wish to plan something in honor
of my happiness. What is it you say
over here?"—he turned to me defer-
entially. but with a spark of mischief

“I do not think so." I returned
truthfully. "He has to make e trip
to another State soon and I do not
think he intends to come home be-
fore he goes. I am afraid you will
not be able to wait for him."
"I am very sorry." Prince Georges
maid regretfully. “But you will be

“Yes. Indeed thank you." 1 said
but regretted my decision the next
minute when he added:

over the name and then patently de

“Yes. George." she returned with

THE EVER POPULAR BLOUSE
The return of the Tailleur
and the Three-Piece Suit
Give Blouses New Life.
By MARIE MAROT
NOW that Fashion has de-
creed the undoubted re-
turn of the tailleur and
the three-piece suit the blouse
takes on a new importance in
the realm of “What's Worn.”
They have never been so di-
versified as to style and ma-
terial as they are at present.
From the gaudy metallic cloth
blouse to the plebian broadcloth
they flaunt their popularity for
all to see. No wardrobe is com-
plete without several. There
are styles for sport styles for
| dress styles for every occasion.
With one skirt and several
blouses one has costumes to
meet all occasions. *
The sleeveless blouse is per-
haps most popular for sports.
Shown here it is of white broad-
cloth with tie armhole edgings
and collar ends of printed broad-
cloth in green orange and
light and dark blue.
In the upper left is a blouse
suitable for afternoon wear of
peach beige crepe de chine. This
is made on the new tuck-in
style and with its revers which
tie in the front to emulate a
collar is perfectly stunning.
Lower left is shown a blouse
of silk pique. One of its chief
features are the overlapping
neck hands terminating in a
soft jabot with a knife pleated
ruffle. The knife pleating is
also used in novel fashion on
the blouse proper. Note the
cunning way the deep-cuffs are
topped with the tiny ruffles.
This blouse has the tightly fit-
ted hipband now so popular.
At the lower right is a printed
silk blouse in surplice style.
Plain yet smart it depends for
its chic on the smart tassel and
ring arrangement which
achieve a shirred effect at the
waistline.
Can’t Be Beautiful When Your Feet Ache
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
A great deal has been written in this column recently about
preserving the comfort and beauty of the feet but no suggestions
have been offered for the treatment of callouses and corns that
have already developed and after all most people are usually not
interested in a topic until it effects them per-
sonally.
For those who missed the preceding articles
about proper care of the feet let me explain
that too short shoes and hose push the great
toe back causing an enlargement of the second
joint which if left unattended develops into
a painful bunion. Shoes that are too large rub
against the feet causing callouses and corns.
Therefore accurately fitted footwear is im-
portant to comfort and beauty since no one can
appear beautiful when each painful step etches
a woebegone expression into the face.
Callouses because they are not painful In
the early stages mislead one into believing that
they are not harmful but constant friction
causes them to thicken and then the center of
the callous takes root and grows down into the foirphia* Huddleston
sensitive skin thus forming a corn.
An effective treatment for callouses follows. Add one ounce
of magnesium sulphate to each quart of warm water used then bathe
the feet in this solution for fifteen minutes. A pumice stone should
then he rubbed liehtlv over the callous to remove any dead skin. Drv
the feet well and using a fine camel's'
hair brush apply the following eolu-
to the callous spots ONLT. Three
and one-half drams of alcohol thirty
grains of salicylic acid ten grains of
extract of cannabis mdlca and one
and one-hair drams of collodlou. This
formuia should be prepared by a
pharmacist On the second and third
night juit apply the above propsra-
tion over that already on tbe ralloua.
Then on tbe fourth night bathe tbe
feet in the magnesium solution and
repeat the treatment
When callouses have become ac-
tual corns the feet should be bathed
ae mentioned above. Then dry them
and using a sterilized razor blade.
►-
par# off the outer lavar of dead
coarse skin and apply tha corn rem-
edy compounded from the formula
given here: One dram of salicylic
acid two drams of ether two drama
of flexible collodion and ten grains
of extract of cannabis Indies. Apply
with • fins camel's hair brush and
only to the com itself. This Is im-
portant. as any preparation strong
enough to remedy callouses or corns
is too strong (or the surrounding
skin.
U.1 medicated corn or bunion pads
should be placed over the sensitive
spot so tbgt all pressure and friction
is eliminated thus hastening tha ef
> facta of the corrective treatment.
It may require a little time to en-
tirely rid the feet of unsightly cal-
louses or corns but care and atten-
tion must be given If you axe to hare
foot comfort.
It you have been wearing slse 6
shoes and find that they now can be
worn with comfort you may be sure
that the callouses and corns are gone
until such time as ill-fitting shoes
or hose are worn again.
Vascular corns are composed of
tiny blood vessels and resemble the
wart la appearance. These require
special care and I suggest that you
place your foot **ln the hands'* of a
reliable chiropodist. DON'T try to
cure these extremely sensitive corns
by home remedies or you may find
yourself In serious trouble.
No one Is being deceived when a
eize 6 foot Is cramped Into a size 5
shoe as the surplus flesh usually
bulges up over the slipper making
the ankles appear heavy and un-
shapely
Therefore for health end beau tv
choose footwear that fits the foot
snugly but not tightly. And. remem-
ber that shoes and hose which are
too large cause just as much trou-
ble as those that are too small.

Elaborate Tea Caddie* Winning New Favor.
EA began as a medicine end4
grew into a beveraga In the
Eighth Century in China it en-
tered the realm of poetry as one ot
the polite amusements while in Japan
In the Fifteenth Century it was en-
nobled to a religion of aestheticism
called tealsm. a cult founded on the
edomtion of the beaaUful among the
drear drabness of every day exist
enca So much for the tempest tn
the teacup of the Far East.
Our greatest source of tea elxty
years or more ago waa China. Today
India leads In Its export followed by
Ceylon and trailed by Java. It is
said that no teas Id the world can
match those of Darjeeling for deli-
cacy of flavor and they bring the
highest prices of all on the whole-
sale rwsrket. W* in America ere not
great tea drinkers yet but we have
r~ogreased far in a few years and
ibe consumption is growing con-
stantly.
All this leads us to the contempla-
tion of the tea caddy always a fad
with English housewives and many
collectors The early caddies ap-
peared In wood made by prominent
artists who stamped them with their
own special designs. Caddies of
Ivory and ebony came from India !n
odd shapes like old cheats and old
water bottle*. Others were of gold
laid over silver with decorations ot
crushed turquoise.
Tea caddies found on the modem
tea tables are not quite such pro-
enmptuout affaire. Manv are of fine I
china acme of old Chinees Satsuma I

•bell china through which the curled
leaves are visible. Again there are
a few in the delicate quarts crystal
In delicata pink and now and then
ona la scan in the rare muttonfal
Jade.
Ornate slleer caddies appear as
wedding presents usually accompany-
ing the silver tea kettls In its swing
Ing frame. Russian samovars gen-
erally have ample brass tee caddies
to match usually In a bulging can
shape with an Impressive flat screw
top on which the Initials of the
owner are engraved.
Modern artists are making some
lovely caddies in the Japanned tin
that are delightfully painted In many
of the old Chinese designs. Some of
the tea garden scenes are used with
the pickers at work and the paint-
ings are eo aged la their treatment
as to be almost like an old painting.
Others are doing the decorating in
gold designs on the glossy black
which la very affective and atlD
others are following the old decor*
tions of our grandmothers’ trava
Trays have gene up in the estimation
of collectors and In price to the
point of genuine antiques.
Altogether the tea caddy ban be-
come a commodity to consider and
no correct tea table Is complete with-
out one which la worth while. Tea
balls or spoons are not In it with
the caddies though the caddies some-
times are filled with the wee tea
balls of mudltn where the guests are
apt to straggle in and It requires too
much energy to keep brewing pots
for each newly arrived guelt.

SNEEZING coughing and hoarseness ire found at all seasons of
the year. They are not symptom* of Winter or Summer but
may be experienced in any month of the year.
Not every case of sneezing comes from "taking cold.” Many
cases of running nose and sore throat come from
breathing dust and smoke. A long automobile
trip through the country or a visit to a mill
may produce so much irritation that the eyes
and nose run and the throat feels as if it had
been sandpapered.
People differ materially in the way irritating
vapors and dust affect them. Some persons
appear to have such hardened tissues that they
are not affected. On the contrary others are
so susceptible to mechanical irritation that even
a small amount of dust in the atmosphere may
prove disturbing.

lhe Lives and Loves of
Great Stage Beauties
By RUTH MORRIS
Sarah Siddona— Baled Among Beat of Old Tragediennca.
IN' July 1755 In a provincial Eng-
lish town a group of strolling
players paused long enough In
their theatric*) occupation to cel*
brats a Joyous event- A daughter
had been born to Mr. and Mrs. Roger
Kemble (respectively nlanager and
leading lady of the companyl and
their fellow-piayers picked up the
cue for a brief holiday-making and
celebration. The arrival of a new
member of the company particularly
one so young end naive waa not to
be passed by without commemora-
tion.
But Mr. and Mrs. Kemble soon
made It known that their daughter.
Sarah was to be no addition to
the Kemble players. Sarah would
travel with the company until she
had reached an age where she could
serve apprenticeship at some refined
trade. Then she would marry and
settle down Into peaceful domesticity
far removed from the heartaches and
transient glory of the footlights.
And that was that.
But It wasn’t. Tbs Kembles wer%
to learn that It is much easier to
cut off monetary inheritance than
to qutli an inherited art. Their
daughter had been swaddled In
dramatic trappings cradled In the
theatre nourished cm the smell of
greaas paint and captured by the
gleam of star dust. She could net
be robbed of her Inheritance: and
one day. the Sarah who had been
planned for obscurity burst Into the
flame of stardom that was to make
her name Immortal In the theatre.
Sarah took to the nomadic life of
the strolling player quite naturally. It
held no glamour for her. because *he
had nothing In her experience less
glamorous with which to compare It.
Things went along well with the
troupe until one day Mrs. Kembls
suspected that her daughter now
sixteen was seeing a bit too much
of Henry Siddons. newly recruited
Juvenile a young handsome and per-
fectly uninspired actor. So Sarah
was bundled off to Worcestershire
to serve as lady's ma!d in the borne
of friends. Dramatic yearnings went
with her. She would rush about the
completion of her dally teaks so that
she might hurry to the library taka
down the big volumes of Shakespeare
and cull their parts.
Nor could love be controlled any
more than Inherent talent. Young
Slddooa appeared one day possessing
► nothin* more than tha marriage fee
and honorable intentions and the
two fled to London light of heart
and much much lighter of purse.
Through tha Influence of a friend
of her father. Sarah obtained an en-
gagement with Garrick at the Drury
Lana. Her first appearance In the
role of Portia waa a fiasco. She was
nervous and had not a dash of
lightness or comedy in her make-up.
She was dismissed.
This first disappointment did not
dampen her ardor. She continued
to study all types of roles. She
played engagements with obscurs
companies. She learned her trade.
And in the meantime she bore three
children who were aa dear to her as
life Itself. On later occasion# aha
was never to miss a chance to bring
them before tha public eye. It be-
came a bit of a Joke but the public
loved her for !t nevertheless.
Reports of her success out of town
drifted back to London and Garrick
gave her another chance this time
in "The Distressed Mother" — a
grand tragic role for the mother of
three. Sarah threw her heart into
It and reduced her audience to tears
and storming applause at the end
of ths performance. She bad ar*
rived.
Her popularity never abated. She
climbed to even greater and more
tragic heights with each new role
Her Lady Macbeth is said to have
been superb. She first shocked her
audience by introducing new stag*
business and breaking out of the
conventional mould and then
brought them to her feet with the
clarified tragedy of her art.
She retired at the age of *T. but.
In tha manner of most retiring ac-
tresses was lured back to the stag*
several times. But Sarah waa wia*.
She knew that she was growing old
and could not expect to retain popu-
larity eternally. She wished to be
remembered at the heigh th of her
power.
Accordingly eh* announced her
really final appearance as Lady Mac-
beth. All of London that could he
crammed Into the Drury Lane. Soma
arrived early In the morning bung-
ing their breakfasts. In order te ob-
tain seats. After the sleep walking
scans ths audience roes as one man
and stopped the performance wtth
humha Sarah Siddons. the great-
est tragedienne of th* age* had the
Id ad of farewell of which every ac-
tress dreams.
