JOYLESS DINNER PARTIES

'Tom, we must have the Thorns over to dinner some
night next week. 1t is a couple of months since we had dim
nr there and we must return their hospitality"
"Surely, go ahead, Madge. Fine Why not invite the
Suttons and Millers at the same time. Only don't let's make
too much work of it,
Knowing Madge, I realized how badly she needed that
bit of counsel. She was the type of a woman who makes OF a
dinner party such a function that she makes hospitality a
mere mockery. For days before the dinner party she starts
her upheaval. Everything must be in perfect order. Every
atom of dust must be routed out. Silver must shine and
glass must sparkle.
Then comes the planning of the meal. First, what shall
she serve her guests? When after much serious thought that
weighty problem has been settled there is the preparation OF
it. With a grim ana sober face she stirs her cake batter
and with nerves tense and rigid she bastes her roast and pre-
pares her vegetables.
Finally the hour arrives and all is in readiness. The APP
pearance of the table, the food and the service could mt be I'M
proved upon. 1t is flaw1ess. But is there not a coldness, a
~harshness, a lack of charm in anything that is too perfect?
Proper and perfect, but joyless and heartless. That is the
way would sum up Madges dinner parties.
Why are they so? Is it not because she tries too hard,
makes too much effort and thus robs them of spontaneHy,
naturalness and real hospitality?

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

d.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel. act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards'O Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by all
who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint, with the attendant
bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
will know them by their olive color.
Take one or two every night for a week
and note the effect. 15c and 30c.

published is that so often your
problems are identical with other
mothers, and one nswer does for
many.
First of all it is not at all wrong
for a baby of that age to still have
m night nursing usually before
twelve. He should be given water
and nothing else after that, and you
must expect that he isn't going to
like it just at first. You will have
to stand the racket one night for
the sake of the other peaceful ones
that are to come.
Please, please, I beg OF YOU, do

to walk with a soldierly stride. The
reason was that he was to be Miles

Standish the Little Captain, Sam
said to himself as he walked tramp!

HE was a great admirer of julius
Caesar and the book tells how he
said, L who have fought with
thousands in Flanders am now cap
tain of the army of Plymouth, and
like Caesar, L know every soldier by
name Billy Cut-out say hal is
one of the Captains jokes, for the
Plymouth colony was so small that
there were only eighteen men in the
army and of course the Captain
would know all their names!"

Times have changed since the da,

correct to use heavy, handsome lace

taste, will curtain all the windows

With Maids Help

If a maid assists in the dining
room, she passes the extra vegetable
and gravy, holding the dish on a
small tray or napkin at the left of
each guest. The vegetables are then
put in front of the host that he may
look after second helpings.
If the host asks each guest his
preference when serving the turkey
and the answer is the bromide ANY
thing" he will serve a piece of white
and dark meat on each plate. IF the
preference is expressed, he will, of
course. observe it.
After the turkey is carved and the
plates served, turn the cut side down
against the platter. Let the knife
and fork rest across the end of the
platter until needed.

The Proper Way
To Carve Turkey
By Sister Mary

Perhaps the mere man" who
must T the Thanksgiving turkey
under the eyes of critical relatives
would like a bit of timely advice.
Half the beauty of the dinner is in
the sight of the luscious brown bind
as it arrives on the table for carving.
So don't cut up the turkey in the
kitchen and send it to the table dis
jointed and in slices, just because
you have never carved a turkey in
public, as 1t were.
In the first place be sure that tee
carving knife is sharp. A duh knife
will mean trouble and consequent
embarrassment.
Unless the serving platter is very
large a small platter should be pro-
vided for the wings, thighs and
drumsticks.
The platter should be placed be-
fore the carver in such n way that
the breast of the turkey will be at
his left hand. He may carve the
bird standing or sitting, whichever
| way is easier.
Take Good Hold
Plunge the carving fork over the
breast bone. 1t should be about the
center of the bone. Force the fork
Ill utGD " 5tEuIt Il IliIi pih III
less you have a strong and well-bal-
anced grasp with the work the dis
jointing and carving of the white
meat will be difficult.
Make a downward cut through the
skin between the thigh and the body
on the side farthest from you. This
| cut goes to the joint. The end of
the drumstick is held by its paper
collar with the fingers of the other
hand. A quick outward turn of the
knife blade and a strong pull and
twist with the hand at the same time
will detach the thigh from the body.
With a second fork place the
whole leg on the extra platter or on
the same platter by the side OF the
bird.
The wing is then removed. Cut
straight down through the skin be-
tween the body and the wing and
around the joint. A quick sharp
turn of the knife easily sewers the
wing from the body.
