The following article taken from the Washburn News

through the woods generally throws his matches and
cigarettes the lake when crossing one for fear OF
setting fire to it. The idea that OF them would hight

the woods is preposerous The News While not accusing

A. LedG care Of this meaos-
paper.
Dear Aleda: A friend and
had an argument as to the corr
rect way to butter bread. Will
you kindly tell us which is the
correct way? ~ Also, are
mullins and toast done the same
way? (3) And is it poor table
manners to eat corn on the cob!
Thank you.
Two FRIENDS.
Bread should be broken into
small piece and held at the edge OF
the butter plate. Then, taking the
butter-knife, put on the butter. 1t
is very poor form to hold the bread
in the air while buttering it as we
see so many people do. Always
touch it to the butter plate. 90
Yes. go No. There is no reason
why corn should not be eaten on the
cob. Personally think a lot of the
real flavor of the corn is lost by cut
ting it off. A graceful way therefore,
to eat it, is to break the ear in
half before commencing to eat.
Dear Aleda: A girl friend
of mine is to be married shortly,
and l would like to give her
shower. Will you please tell me
how to word the invitations?
(2) Also, should it be given in
the afternoon or evening? With
many thanks.
MARGARET v. PENN.
If your shower is to be small and
informal, the invitations may be
merely verbal. If, however, it is
to be a larger affair, send cards by
post, worded something like this:
Miss Marion Stewart will have a
shower at her home for Miss Chan
dler, on Wednesday, August 10th,
at four o'clock. ~ A shower is
usually an informal affair, making
the afternoon preferable, but If you
wish to include men, the evening
is the most popular time.
