A SPIKE2

Perhaps there is no article ef
table furnishing so troublesome as
the fork. In the letters that come
TO me it seems to be the one thing
on the table about which there is
confusion. And if you watch any

dinner. you viii see that although
nobody eats with his knife. al
though nobody drinks soup from
the point of his spoon. although
everybody knows the use or the
butter spreader Il there Is one
still there IS decided difference
In the way people handle their
forks.
Some persons always use the
fork as a shovel. some as a spike
some hold Il in the left hand
with prongs down; some in the
right with prongs up Aud ae-
cording to good American usage
Il Is quite correct to hold the fork
In the right hand to eat scallopad

toes. The Englishman, OF course,
would eat the mashed potatoes on
the plate with his meat with a fork
in the left hand. spikewise. In
this country the one important
thing seems to be to remember,
after you have cut a piece Of meat
with the fork in the left hand,
prongs down. not to shift the fork

raise the meat thus to the mouth.
There viii always be some who
think this left hand method of
eating meat Is graceless: never
theless. 1t is quite correct.

In small family dinner it is
usual to serve the woman guest

The Timely Gift

TT IS an interesting fact that the
/ giving of gifts as a form of
courtesy and an indication of
friendship is a practice that Is
found among the most primitive
folk as we'll as the most civilized.
In accounts of explorers among
savage and barbarian peoples we
are continually coming across this
fact. The simple triblesmen with
out understanding a word OF the
visitors language and without
knowing from whence they come
or what their errand is, are able
through the presentation of some
more or less highly priced gift to
show their feeling Of friendship,
and Il is an unwise explorer who
does not take goodly collection
OF trinkets and ornaments likely
to serve as suitable presents to the
strangers among whom he goes.
In the history of our own coun-
try we read repeatedly of the ex-
change OF gifts between the Col
onists and friendly Indians. And
It was usually apparent by the way
these gifts were presented that
even among primitive people there
is a rather elaborate code of eti-
quette regarding the mode of Civ
ing and receiving presents.
And though we do not accom-
pany the giving of presents in
these days with the donning of
war paint and the beating of tom
toms. we do recognize a certain
code of manners In the matter.
There are times when there is
nothing that will take the place of
a present, even though 1t be very
simple one.
II is not necessary for a guest
always TO bring his hostess q pres
ent, but when he comes for the
second time without in the inter
val having been able TO reeipro-
cate the hospitality gift is in
order, The idea is not of repay
ing hospitality, but TO show that
he has thought of the kind hostess,
And in such a gift il IS far more
that the gift should be
something that shows thought
than that it should be costly. For
instance, If the hostess has ex-
pressed liking for any particular
kind of fruit or candy the thought
full guest either has a basket or
box of the dainty sent to the
hostess or brings it with him In his
luggage.

results There Is the easy recipe

melted butter. or its equivalent in
cooking oil Beat all together
with rotary egg beater. The re-
suit is a smooth. rather thin bat
tier. which makes very satisfactory
layer or patty cakes. And this
i foundation may be varied In many
ways.
One way is TO add a little ginger,
cinnamon and allspice, or cloves,
and bake in small patty cakes.
Then serve with whipped cream
for dessert.

Another is to serve In littN

Another Is to add washed and
well dried huekleberries 70 the
batter and serve with hard sauce.
This same foundation, baked in
LAYERS. makes very good cake
for shortcakes Of berries or
peaches. with whipped cream,
sweetened, on top.
And with ii you can also make
a good ice cream cake, putting the
lee cream. chocolate. vanilla, or
peach, between the layers.
Nothing Is a better dessert for
summer than fresh fruit. And
with fresh fruit some kind OF cake
is always acceptable. So ID is with
Ice cream, next TO fruit, perhaps,
as a summer dessert. There was
4 time when we bewailed our lik-
ing for ice cream. talking Of the
/, folly OF putting that mass Of ice
cold food in our poor stomachs-
But nowadays ice cream made
from pure milk Is considered
wholesome and desirable. Our
poor stomachs have shown them
selves quite capable OF handling
that amount Of cold. and Of course
the milk which IS the main in
gredient OF ice cream is a desir-
able food
Sometimes. it is q good plan to
use ice cream with fruit. A big
| tablespoon OF ice cream with 4

One thing TO remember in clean
ing white shoes Is TO clean them.
That Is. before applying the white
liquid or paste, brush the shoes
clean from dust and old, fried
whiting. and then clean any very
soiled spots on them with q little
water and securing soap. Then
follow the directions for applying
the whiting compound.
And remember that Il is impor-
tant 90 follow the direction ex-
actly. Those given for one con
coetion do not answer for the use
of another. Follow the directions
on box or bottle 20 the letter.
When the heels of white shoes
become soiled, you can whiten
them with the usual paste or
! liquid. But IL the white peels off.
you can do something with white
paint. evenly applied and thor
loughly dried OF course this will
eventually fake off. but it will

Always dry freshly whitened

Who IS Served First.

II have contended that the
hostess should be served first, =
writes a reader who asks for in
formation on the correct serving
of a dinner. But l am IN doubt
as TO who next"
] agree with this reader that the
hostess should be served first, but
there is good authority for the
other usage-that of first serving
the woman at the hosts right
always the woman guest of honor,
of course The underlying reason
for this older fashioned custom is
the idea of unselfshness that is
the base of most courtesy. Even
savages and baTbarians honor
their guests by serving them first:
50 il would seem that there was
no question about the etiquette Of
following that rule in serving din
ner There is a very practical
reason, however, why we some
times show greater courtesy nova
days by serving the hostess first.
In a complicated dinner service
there may be some dishes un-
familiar TO the guest of honor.
Perhaps there are TO be French
artichokes and she has never hap
pened TO eat them before. Per-
haps. too. there are many forks
laid at each place and the guest of
honor does not know with which
one 10 eat her first course. 1t is
TO obviate such embarrassment
that very many persons-and my
self among advocate the
less old fashioned service.
