Cordially,
Marjorie Daw:
Thank YOU for your letter an
closing pen Name" [ feel that
the questions that you asked will
be interesting to many women, and
/ am glad to be able to, print them
with the answers.
1t is customary to place the
spoons to the right of a plate, with
the exception of the individual salt
spoon, which is of course placed
WIN NiIC octll ht~ils III
front of the plate.
Ladies are always served first. for
no matter what the age of man,
he wants to be considered young
enough to maintain his courtesy
towards ladies.
At a formal meal all dishes are
passed. At an informal meal it is
perfectly permissible to have your
dishes on the table, and make your
service as informal as possible. The
truth is that there is very little
really formal entertaining done, eX-
cept in big cities.
Personally, do not like tall
vases of flowers in the center of a
table. they interfere with CONVEX
sation between the two sides of the
table. A flat dish with the flower
holder in center and the flowers
that are not too tall to be held IN
that sort of dish, is best.

Prophylactic fluid is the best for
removing ink from white cotton
goods. I do not believe it will be
successful on colored goods. You
soak the spot in the fluid. then
place it in lemon Juice the spot will!
turn brown, you then rinse the spot
in cold water and the stain is
removed
B. l.. c.:
One OF the most popular %Iys in
our crowd was engaged to- girl
from another town. We knew he
was engaged and respected his en-
gagement. see no reason why
you cannot be good friends with
this boy If your feelings are too
sentimental to allow your being
with him after he is married, my
advice is to tactfulIy make it pos
sible to avoid him after that tire
You'll find it noto so he I'd as you
think. but first see il you cant be
just good friends now. It's a pity
to give up friend like that.
