Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please settle
a dispute between two housewives
One insists that butter should be
served at all meals, while the other
says that it is not good form to serve
butter at a dinner. Which one is
right? ONE OF THEM.
At formal dinner butter should not
be served, though Americans usually
break the rule.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: What will
take away the unpleasant odor after
peeling or eating onions? We are very
fond. of them at our house, but 1 know
the odor is not pleasant to others.
A FRIEND.
Peroxide of hydrogen is one of the
best deodorizers know of. Battle the
hands with it after peeling onions, and
rinse the mouth with slightly diluted
peroxide.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I see so
many girls wearing white gloves with
dark dresses. They look queer to me.
l suppose it is the fashion. but do you
think it is good taste? L would like
to hear your opinion.
OLD CROUCH.
About two years ago some fashion
able New Workers started the fad of
white shoes with dark dresses, but
soon abandoned it. 1t Caught on"
with the people, however, and the Gus
tom has invaded the whole country.
No; I do not think it is good taste
White shoes were never intended tc
wear with dark dresses, and they make
the feet look abnormally large under a
dark skirt. White shoes soil so easily
that they should be worn only with
light dresses, and never in the down
town streets.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twenty
one years old and l have been going
with a girl now for several months
She is bright and pretty and likes to
have a good time, but I think she
doesn't act just right to me- l take
her out a good deal but sometimes she
seems to forget that am around. She
dances with other fellows and makes
them believe she thinks they are IT,
and 1 know she has other young men
call on her. Now is that right when
she is going with me? I have told
her that / think a great deal of her
and I think she ought to show more
respect to me and not go around with
other fellows. MAX.
Now why in the world shouldn't she
be nice to other young men, Max? I
should think you would be proud Of
her popularity. Probably, if she was
a little quiet, stay-at-home, you
wouldn't care a snap about her.
Because a man thinks he is going
with" a girl does not give him any
reason to think that the girl should
confine herself to him entirely. You
are not engaged to the young lady and
ccnouently have no right at all to
ask her to give up her friends, or to
try TO attract one Of them for a lover
who means business.
If you want to marry this girl, tell
her so. ask her to be your wife and, If
she consents. have the engagement an
nounced. Then and only then, will you
have a right to ask her to confine most
of her attention to yourself. Even then,
If you are wise, you will not hold the
reins too tight. The girl has a right
TO Just as much liberty as you have.
Dear Mrs Thompson: We are CIV
ing a birthday party to our teacher
and we want 10 have a cake with can
dies on il. We don't just know the
age of our teacher, and maybe it would
net be polite TO put all the candles on.
But birthday cake doesn't seem just
right without candles. does it? We are
all agreed to that. But how shall we
put them on? Please oblige US with
your advice CLASSMATES.
The only polite way Of decorating a
cake with candles. when the one who
has the birthday IS a woman and her
