1t is the part of hospitality to say
something personal to each guest.
The host usually stands near his
wife and his particular function is to
introduce strangers who may not be
acquainted with those present.
While the hostess is receiving it
is customary for the gentls amen to re-
main standing, though the ladies
may sit.
After dinner has been announced,
the host offers his arm to the lady of
honor-who sits at his right-and
leads the way into the dining room.
The guests follow the host in to
and two, and the hostess and her
partner are always last to enter.
Since the wearing of gloves has
become a personal preference, l don't
think l need mention that at for
NAL dinner ladies must always take
their gloves entirely off And OBJ
viously no one would eat with a knife
in hand. Cut your food, lay the
knife across the side of your plate,
and use the fork with your right
hand runs the invariable rule of
civilization. Etiquette also says:
Never refuse dishes at the table,
If 1t is something you don't like, take
a little and at least pretend to eat it.
Leaving the Table
After dinner the gentlemen con-
duct their partners to the drawing
room, and they adjourn to the mok
ing room. In house where there is
no smoking room the gentlemen
escort the ladies to the door and re-
turn to have their coffee and cigars,
llqueurs and conversation. sitting at
the table.
The ladies have their coffee, ciga-
rettes and llqueurs passed to them
in the drawing room.
Since conversation is more or less
of lost art in America, the hostess
usually provides musical or other
entertainment after dinner.
Leave Taking
The maid in the dressing room or
hall assists the ladies with their
wraps. as she did when they arrived.
The butler is at the door, and when
the guests are ready to leave, the
footman steps outside and calls for
their car or taxi
A guest should never leave for
NAL dinner party without saying
good night to his hostess.

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
felt so sorry for Marggy and her
Mamma and Daddy and Mr.. Doodle.
For after Marggy's Daddy had filled
his suitcase with wonderful magical
things from the Wonder room of the
suitcase out of the castle, Why every
single magical thing had disap-
peared from the suitcase. And when
Mr.. Doodle had taken the suitcase
back into the castle and had re-
packed the wonderful things in it, he
found when he had carried it out
side, that the wonderful magical
things had disappeared and in their
places was nothing but large stones
So Marggy and her Mamma and
her Daddy and Mr.. Doodle sat down
upon the ground and cried and cried.
Raggedy AIMS apron grew so wet
from wiping the tears from their
eyes she had to take it off and hang
it over the Dragons ears to dry.
This made Marggy's Daddy laugh.
mo, we shan't"' he said, because we
can't"
Then" advised Raggedy Ann.
Perhaps, if you wish to have the
wonderful magical things so much,
1t would be a good plan, instead of
trying to take them to your home,
to bring your home to the magical
things"
But how can we do that, Rag
gedy Andy?" Marggy's Daddy asked
in surprise.
I'VE would have to move our great
big house and all the furniture and
it would take great big moving
wagon and great big truck to
carry every thingr'
"Oh, no*' Raggedy Andy laughed.

Frank Hatfield. head of the Frank
Hatfield Company, Ford dealers, said

certain whether a petition asking
that Ford's name be placed on the
ballot was being circulated. but he
said such a petition would be
circulated within short time.
"Mr. Ford has nothing whatever
to do with this movement It IS not
confined to Ford dealers" Hatfield
said. IF the public brings sufficient
pressure Ford would accept a nom-
nation. but he is not seeking a nomi-
nation"
Request From Chicago

from the Ford-for. President Club at

taken to form Ford club here. He
said he expected to take up the matter
with local officials Of the Ford com.

would act as individuals and not as
representatives Of Ford and that
neither dealers nor company officials
were under obligations to participate
in the movement.
If 1 take an active part in this
campaign it will be because l believe

fit Of Fords experience in economic
affairs" Hatfield said.

tial primary for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning the sentiment OF the State be-
fore the National conventions. II
