WHAT'S WHAT
BY HELEN DECIE

Soft cheese of any sort is eaten with
n fork, or portion is taken on cracker
with a cheese.or.butter.spr or with
an ordinary knife. Solid cheese is served
cut In little cubes, each cube Just large
enough for an edible morsel This OBJ
vates the necessity for biting into the
cheese, and the portion can be taken be-
tween the fingers and eaten with OF
without the usual cracker accompani-
ment
At a dinner. cheese is served with
waters accompanying the salad course
just before dessert or 1t may come with
the black coffee Immediately after the
dessert. Quite often little cubes Of cheese
accompany pie. Whenever cheese Is
used as an ingredient In dinner or
luncheon dish--such az in macaroni au
gratin or cheese soullie--it should not DE
served again either with the salad or
with the dessert.

to look up instead of down at

Read Your Character
By Digbp Phillips
Black Eyes

Black Eyes
Black eyes are emotional eyes, but
they're not impatient eyes nor change
able eyes.
On the contrary, they indicate GER
tain stoadfaStness to purpose and an
ability to endure, which may be eXag-
gcratcd undc" certain conditions into
extreme tcnacity or downright unrea-
soning obstinacy traits which you will
rarely find in this exaggerated form in
light blue or gray eyes.
Black eyes indicate different type
OF mind from gray eyes. 1t Is a mind
which does not think so quickly, but
thinks longer and often more deeply.
! A gray-cycd PERSONS tendency Is to
| fare up and resent a wrong. then for.
get 1t. But II you injurc Il black eyed
person he, or SHE, Is more likely to
brood over 1t, and you'll get the result
/ some time later in a passive resistance
! to or, disregard Of your purpose which
! you may be Mt loss to understand.
Black eyed people are not inclined Ia
he rggi essiye, but they have superior
resisting powers when aroused.
Their comparative mental slowness,
ACCOMPANIED by mental tcnacity. e1uips
them better for tasks requiring concen
tatiOn, accuracy and thOroughness. but
leaves them somewhat as Disadvantage
in originality.
