Perhaps -you, too, married one of
• those inarticulate then who seems
to have forgotten how to kiss you,
and never, never remembers to tell
you he loves you. Read one wife's
complaint:
"1 mu 32. Anne Hirst, Aly mother
died when I was born, and 1 can't
ever remember
my father telling
inc he loved me.
I have always
felt unwanted,
that no one
cared for toe.
Now I've been
married 14
years, and have
two girls. But
I still feel the same way.
"My husband doesn't drink or
gamble or run around, and I know
I'm lucky that he is good to me.
I know he loves ire—but I'd still
like to hear him say so! I get up
at four o'clock to pack his lunch
and get his breakfast; does he say
'thank you' and kiss me good-bye?
No.
"You work hard all day cleaning
the house. taking care of the chi!-
. dren, fixing a nice supper. He
comes iii, picks on the children 1111
they cry, then raises coin because
they. aren't quiet while he eats. He
talks only about his job. Never a
word about how nice you look, or
how the house shines. or how things
went that day!
"You say to yourself, 'Oh well,
he'll talk to Inc after supper! You're
only kidding yourself. Then he
wants the paper, and the children
and I aren't supposed to talk out
loud, or laugh, or sing. He reads
the paper from front to back .(in-
cluding your column, so please
print this; maybe he'll realize how
much we all miss Itis love.)
"You think, after he's through,
maybe he'll talk a while, or take
you out, 'S. nu guessed wrong. Ile
goes to bed.
How long can you a woman
live like this? I'm not old yet. I
I!ke to visit our friends or go to
a show. But I could get along
without those.
It is the lack of love I feel, Why
is a man so dumb that he can't
say so? 1 can wear a new dress
for a month before he even notices
it! Some day I'm going to forget
to clean rip the house and the
children and see whether he knows
the diterence• (1 dnttbt it.)
"I guess there' no use in hop-
ing. But at least I feel better to
get this off my chest! Thanks a
lot for reading it."

Modern Etiquette
by Roberta Lee
Q. How should the forks be ar-
ranged at the plate, when setting
the table?
A. The fork to be used first is
placed at the extreme left of the
plate; this is usually for fish or ap-
petizer. Second, towards the plate,
place the treat fork; third, nearest
the plate, the salad fork.
Q. When writing a brief social
letter, may one use the first and
fourth pages?
A. Yes, either the first and fourth
or the first and third, leaving the
other pages blank.
Q. Is it all right for ..woman,
who is dining in a restaurant, to
place her purse on the table?
A. No,' never. The purse should
be kept in her lap.
Q. When introducing two per-
sons, is it proper to say, "Mr.
Brown, I wish to make you acquain-
ted with Mr, Smith?"
A. This phrase could not exactly
be called improper, but the prevail-
ing introduction and the easiest is
merely, "Mr, Brown, Mr, Smith,"
Q. Is it permissible for a business
or professional woman, who mar-
ries, to retain her maiden name for
business purposes?
A. Yes; this is often done, when
the maiden name has become estab-
lished and has advertising value,
Q. May a woman retain her coat
in a restaurant, instead of checking
it?
A. Yes; it may be slipped over
the back of her chair.
Q. Should all members of the
faintly remain at the table until the
meal is finished, even if there are
no guests.
A. Yes; this is good training. The
person who is not well-bred when
at home is likely to display the
same manners when in public,

As I think I may have told you
before I'm the sort of person who
can take my peanut butter or leave
it alone—preferably the latter.
However, that by no means
Indicates that there aren't plenty
of others who do like it very
much, in fact it seems to become
more and more popular every year.
So perhaps you'd like to have
this recipe for easily made:
PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS
2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
or 214 cups sifted pastry flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
34 cup peanut butter
2-3 cup milk
34 cup water
1 tablespoon shortening, melted
Mix and sift flour, baking powder,
sugar and salt. Beat egg utitil light
then add peanut butter, milk, water
and melted shortening. Add liquid
to flour mixture all at once, stir-
ring only enough to combine. -Fill
greased muffin tins 2-3 full and
bake in a ]tot oven over 400 F.,
for 20 minutes. Yield: 12 muffins.
VARIATIONS: To make a de-
licious sweet muffin to serve for
tea or supper, fill muffin tins 1/3
full with the above mixture. Add
e4 teaspoon jam or jelly to each
muffin, then add more batter until
muffin tins are 2.3 full.

You've probably heard of the
small boy who was taken to a
museum where they had an exhibit
of many different sorts of fish—
stuffed and mounted. Pausing be-
fore one labelled "SALMON" be
said scornfully, "Whoever put that
sign up must be goofy; I thought
everybody knew that salmon routes
in cans."
And although the development of
the Frozen Food business has made
fresh fish far more easily avail-
able, there are still a lot of us, who
live inland, who still get most of
the fish we eat out of canis. Here's
a way of serving it that may be
new to some of you.
SALMON ROLL
1 pound cats salmon (or any other
fish, flaked and boned)
?y cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
311 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced onion
dash of pepper
Biscuit dough.
METHOD: Mix all the ingredi-
ents together until well blended,
then stake your favourite biscuit
dogh. Roll out into o 7x15 inch
rectangle and transfer to a lightly
greased heavy baking sheet. Spread
salmon mixture down centre of
dough to within two inches of either
end.
Pold over the edges, Roll over
so lengtwhise seam is underneath.
Tucic the ends under the roll. Make
slashes along top for steam to es-
cape Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 425
degrees. Place on hot serving dish.
Garnish with Lemon wedges and
parsley. Serve hot with creamed
vegetables, such as peas or aspara-
gus. Serves six to eight.

There are probably hundreds of
different types of Cookie Jars, but
they all seem to have one thing
In common. Especially In homes
where there are youngsters around,
they all have a way of getting empty
in amazingly little time. Next time
it happens in your home, try these:
MOLASSES DROP COOKIES
1 cup fat or shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup molasses
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon soda.
2 cups chopped raisins or dates.
2 cups chopped nutmeats
(optional)
1 cup warts water.
METHOD: Cream fat and sugar;
add eggs and molasses, Sift flour
with ginger, salt and soda. AI-
ternately add flour and water to tate
fat, sugar and egg mixture. Mix
well. Add raisins and nuts. Drop
by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased
baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees
for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cook-
ies spring back when Lightly touch-
ed. When cool put in cookie jar and
try and think of new place to hide
it.
GENTLE SPRING
Watchmakers have their own sign
of spring-7Mo mainspring. When a
deluge of watches with broken
mainsprings arrives at their shops,
they know the vernal season is at
hand. Spring thunderstorms and
showers bring an abrupt change in
temperature and air pressure, and
tax the brittle steel ribbons until
they snap.

An obstetrician should be able to
tell the arrival of spring by observ-
ing the size of the babies he delivers.
Infants born In the spring are taller
and heavier, on the average, titan
those born in other seasons, accord-
ing to statistical studies made at
• Johns Hopkins University.
' * * *
Co a common belief that many
people suffer from extreme fatigue
when spring arrives so-called
spring fever. But a biologist at
Rensselaer Polytechnic reports that
these beliefs are in error. Spring
Icier is only a mild form of scurvy,
he declares, dtie to vitamin -poor
diet in winter months — particular•
ly, vitamin C deficiency.

COCKER SPANIELS
Of all the dogs that are so sweet,
The spaniel is the most complete;
Of all the spaniels, dearest far
The little Cocker spaniels arc. .
They're always merry, always hale;
Their eyes are like October ale;
They are so Loyal and so black;
So unresentful 'Heath the whack;
They never sulk, they never tire;
They love the field, they Love the
fire;
They never criticize their friends;
Their every joy all joy transcends.
The Aberdeen is quaint and sly,
A harvest of tate anxious eye;
The Bedlington is blue and true;
The Airedale fights till death for

Yet why compare? All dogs oa

Possess some special charm and
Worth.
But Cocker spaniels? Every way,
They are the canine angels, they.
Helpful Hints For Homemakers
\!'hear baking ClSta'd or pumpkin
pies, place the empty pie shell in the
oven first, then pour the liquid fill-
ing into it, Not a drop will be spill-
ed. as might happen in carrying a
filled shell to cite oven.
To get rid of the smell of fish on
your !lands, wash them in hot, salty
water — before using soap. When
You rinse off the salt, the fish smell
goes with it, Do the game with
dishes and parts that have been used
for fish.

extra amount of starch and store It
in a sealed jar in your refrigerator,

blankets. This prevents lint and
blanket fuzz from rubbing off onto
your clothing.
Willes sewing a dress for your
little girl, make a hanky to match.
If lost at school or play, the hanky
is easily identified and returned.
Time yourself when you're doing
the washing. Bring an alarm clock
or kitchen timer to the laundry and
set it for the time required for each
batch of clothes. Many of us let the
washer rum longer than necessary.
Ten minutes saved shorten washing
time:
