BE BE TEN NEW YORKER MONDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1944 Dorothy Dix Panacea for War's Heartache- Service Wives Can Relieve Dreary Evening Hours by Doing Housework, Cooking Dear Dix: So many young wives, whose husbands are overseas, complain of the loneliness and dreariness of their evenings. Undoubtedly darkness has A depressing effect upon us. Things seem worse at night than they in the day. So I would suggest don these young women to alter their sehedules radically.

Let them spend the days outof -doors a as much as possible and leave most their active- household duties for the evening hours, so as to give them occupation. There is no reason why cleaning. laundering and much of the preparation of food cannot be done at night. Nothing relieves distress of mind like being and nothing like familiar sounds and the moveforestalls the panto" of loneliness ments of routine activities. No doubt these women will be called lazy at Arst when neighbors see them amusing themselves in the morning and doing their work let them assert their individuality and their right to do the way that seems the best to them.

F.A.C. Wise Suggestion for Service Wives Answer: I think this is the most practical the wisest suggestion that has yet. been made for solving one of the heartbreaking problems of the, war, and that is what the wives of service men shall do to make less dreary the long and lonely evenings in which they have nothing more exciting to do than to watch the baby sleep. It a time when the anxiety that has lain dormant in a wife's heart all day wakes up and gnaws on her heart, like a worm on rose, until she feels that she can bear the agony no longer. Yet she can think of nothing to do to alleviate her sufferings.

The children anchor her to her desolate freside so that she has not even anybody to speak to after they go to sleep. She cannot go to the most innocent place of amusement without laying herself open to criticism, and have some busybody write her husband that she is a gay war widow who 1g stepping out with other men, while is enduring torments on the battle front. Sweeping floors, scrubbing bathrooms, trying out recipes for making rationed food taste like something edible, may seem an almost ludicrous panacea to offer for heartache, but there is no doubt that it will work. For Nature has mercifully ordained that we can't worry over two things at the same and that as long as we are concentrating on baking cake, or humoring along the peculiarities of an electric iron, we are oblivious of all other troubles. The secret of happiness is.

work. Keeping busy. And it doesn't make any difference when we do it. It is Just as effective in a dark kitchen as a light one. Try it, bored and lonely wives.

Dear Dorothy Dix: When guests are coming I always become, upset and nervous because I am 50 tired out cleaning the house and getting everything in perfect order. My girl friends say I am foolish about this and that I shouldn't let dt worry me; that if guests come they can take things as they are. Which of us is right? MRS. G. E.

Rested Hostess Preferred Answer: I think your friends are. I think that almost any of us would rather have a calm and rested hostess and simple meal than one who has brought on a raging headache and worn herself to a frazzle scrubbing up the house and cooking up elaborate dishes. After all, there are not many guests who snoop around to see if there is dust under the chairs. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
