Dear Aleda: A friend and 1
had al argument as TO the cor
rect way to butter bread. viii
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 10 eat corn ON the cob?
Thank you.
Two FRIENDS.
Bread should be broken into a
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. (2)
Yes. 81 No. There is no reason
why corn should not be eaten on the
cob. Personally 1 think a lot of the
real flavor of the corn is lost by cut
ting it of. 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 / would like to give her a
shower. viii 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. II, 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
der, on Wednesday, August 10th,
at four o'clock. (2) 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.

A resolution by Senator Horton, tending to stop such teaching or any teaching in which mankind'S ancestry is linked by blood relationship to lower forms of animal life was voted upon favorably at a meeting fthat committee Wednes- day.
 Senator Horton's resolution was amended somewhat but the substance remains the same--Evolution shall not be taught. The discussion of evolution lasted for more than an hour and practically all senator's expressed their opinion on the mat ter. Senators Inzer, Hutson and Ellis opposed the measure, Senator Ellis saying it gave the matter a certain dignity in having it taken up by the legislature. However, Sen ator Horton found aid in Senators Slone. Randall, McNeil, Bonner and Carmichael.
 Senator Carmichael said "the whole thing was receiving more debate than it really warranted' He pointed out 1t merely intended to place the leg islature on record as being such teachings. No senator was delighted NllH luS suggestion that Inelr an Cestors may have been monkeys. Senator Randall said he was in favor of kicking out any teacher who attempted to teach evolution.
 Favor Printing Plant.
 Another bill voted upon favorably was Senator G. Ernest Jones' Kilby printing plant bill by the finance and taxation committee. This was the subject of hot debate in the senate Tuesday efforts being made to keep it away from the committee.
 Two other bills received favora b le reports from the educational commit tee. One provides for a change of supervisioi to the county board of ed ucation of the schools in Brightn, Jefferson county, from the city board. while the other was Senator Over tons bill validating three mill tax elections previously held.
 Senator Jones' bill providing that no person shall have more than one state office of profit which certain exceptions were voted adversely at a meeting of the senate judiciary committee because another bill pro- Viding for the same thing is now before the legislature.

 By Representative Fite, providing that public stenographers in courts shall not charge more than S10 day of 15 cents hundred words for transcribing.
 By Senator Hildreth, providing that contracts of deceased persons shall be executed by their heirs in full faith.
