Good
FORM

little observation and Afternoon 70
aatai, will make 1t possible for every
woman to have her dinner table appear
and be served In accordance with the
newest DEGREES of form. Details or
service change as do shapes Of gowns.
For example, soup spoons now arc
placed at the right side of the plate
instead of. as formerly, at the top OF
IT. The dinner knife retains its old
place next to the plate, but the soup
gpoon IS parallel. Except when soup
mates are of extreme beauty they are
hantshed. cups with one handle ut
each side being served instead. There
are soup or bouillon spoons which cor
respond In size to the cups, those to DO
used with plates being too large for
the smaller surface of a cup.
Individual saltcellars are relegated
to limbo, probably on the theory that
all food Is 30 well cooked that further
seasoning is not required. This being
more theoretical than true, large salt
cellars appear, and, be they OF silver or
glass, they are more ornamental than
individual reeeptacles. Two are enough.
although feur-if one has those that
match In sets of two or four-may be
nut on the table together, al each
| corner of the center, as 1t were. Salt
shakers are v seen now.
1t is no longer good form to have
more than three forks-nt@a plate at
one time. II the meal is a long course
| dinner or luncheon, when more will ba
required, they are brought In with the
service plate after the last n already
on the table has been used. s9s* -
Never are dessert forks or spoons now
seen on the table until they are brought
on the Individual plates and placed.
still on the plates, before each person.
Also both fork and spoon are used, net
merely one, no matter what form the
sweet may take.
Equally also the finger bowls are not
on separate plates to be brought In
later, but appear on the dessert plate,
which, when properly appointed, has
the finger bowl Oh a small dolly In the
center, with the fork on the left side
and the spccr or the right, the handles
pointing in the same direction, which
is toward the individual before whom
they are placed.
Every one at the table Immediately
removes the bowl and dolly, putting
them at the upper left Of the table
and then lays the spoon and fork by
the plate, one at each side.

HEALTH ASSOCIATIONS
OF STATE TO AFFILIATE
Sanitation Organizations Hope
for Much Better Results

The proposition of merging the sew
eral public health associations of the
state into general organization to be
known as the Affiliated public health
associations of California will be dis
cussed at meeting to be held in Sac
ramento, April is, at which represent
atives of the leading health associa-
tiosn will be present
The purpose of consolidating the va
rious organizations is to bring about
greater efficiency of work and also that
by this means the individual associa-
tions Will gain financial backing
through joining with the others.
Under present arrangements the 10
statewide associations work individu-
ally and as result 1T is pointed that
much of the ground is covered two and
three times.
