the door for the guests and help them to remove their wraps, as the maid must of necessity be occupied when the last guest Us arrived and don't wait too long for any guest, as the dinner will in that case proba- bly be ruined, which IS discouraging and upsetting to the maid-even more, probably, than to the guests.
 If drinks of any kind are served they should be entirely tho respon- sbility of the Lost. He should pre- pare for them and serve them If there is no host, the hostess may ask one of the guests to officiate. In any case, the llaid should not be responsible for them.
 If a roast is served it can be placed in front of the host, also the necessary nI mber of hot plates. lie then carves and passes it to the guests. The meat course being the most complicated, it is generally better to have it a roast 'sefVed in this manner, as it le...es the maid free to pass the vegetables as quick ly as the meat is served.
 Needless to say, tl.ere are maids and maidsi l have known a few who can COOK ana serve tt luiI uInlleI dS quickly and efficiently as butler, helped by someone in the pantry, in addition to tle cook. In such cases the hostess may order anything she pleases and have no worry. But l rather think such specimens are rare. In general. one must not expect too much of the woman who cooks and serves, and must be prepared to aid her in every way possible. Per sonally, I look in awe on anyone who can serve dinner that she has cooked herself. Some of the most de lightful and delectable meals have attended however, have been served by some of these, to my mind, awe somely competent people.
 Should the hostess with one maid desire to have more than six or at most seven people, the best plan is to have buffet dinner. In this case the guests may sit at the dining table eff it is large enough) or sit around the living or dining room. In either case the food is placed on the sideboard and the guests serve themselves. It is quite easy to keep the food hot on chafing dishes, or if one is lucky enough to own one of those delightful copper heaters with two or three burners, so much the better. A a dinner of this kind 1t is only necessary to have one not course, and make up the rest of the meal with perhaps hors d cuvres, salad and desert.

Dorothy Dir'S Letter Boz

| it is time that he came to decision l on the subject.
 i We have very different tastes. l love to goo to church; he doesn't. like to read; he doesn't. I want him to read your column; he won't do it. He likes his food fried; I don't. I like mine boiled.
 ! I am ready to settle down and be happy, but he seems to be afraid of married life. Do you think if l marry him that l will be happy? BESSIE.
 Answer: I think that your fiance is little too sure of you, and that as he knows he can marry you any tine he wants to, he is in no hurry to set the wedding day. Your play would be to make him miss you. Can't you go off on a visit somewhere and let him find out how lonesome he is without you and how necessary you are to his happiness? Or perhaps you could turn your smiles on some other boy in the neighborhood and let him see that he has rival.
 As to his saying he wants to marry and yet doesn't want to marry, be nos alarmed Most men get cold feet when they get in the shadow of the altar. No matter how much they love girl, there are bound to be times when they getAshivers thinking | about the responsibility of shoulder ! ing family, and when they wonder if they are not fools to give up their freedom for the sake of Nome. It is a serious matter, however, for a couple to marry who have diametri cally opposite tastes, and there is not much harmony in household where ! the wife always wants to do one thing and the husband another. Con geniality is the strongest bond be- tween people.
 Also, 1t is well to remember tha. in the adjusting of a married couple to each other 1t is nearly always the wife who has to give in. So l would think long time before I married d man who didn't have the same taste in politics and pie that I had.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: My girl friend and myself are very much perplexed and we would like your advice. We have been told that to allow young man to kiss you goodnight makes him lose his respect for,you. But we think not to allow friendly good night kiss is so prudish, yet we don't want to lose our friends good opinion of us. What do you say?
 RUTH AND NAOMI.
 Answer: My flapper friends assure ne that a kiss means no more now adays than handshake used to mean, but it seems to me that a nice girl would be disgusted at the very thought of Kissing Tom, Dick or Harry good night because he brought her home from the movies. l should think that she would like to feel that she had kept her lips pure and inno- cent and virginal, waiting for the one man to whom she could give her first kiss with her very soul in it, not shopworn goods.
 Men value kisses in proportion to their rarity That is why they are always eager for kisses that are hard to get and care nothing for those that are always on tap. The more girl makes a man keep his distance the more he respects her. Just paste that on your mirror, girls.

The problem of entertaining with but one maid is really a simple one if the hostess will realize that the main charm of her dinners or lunches can be their informality. If she will realize that informality is an asset and not a drawback in most peoples opinion, she will relieve her. self of much unnecessary worry and tribulation. At the risk of repetition I again say that the feelings of the hostess are invariably transmit ted to her guests. If she is attempt ing something she cannot achieve and consequently is nervous and un- comfortable, she may be sure her guests will be the same. To the same degree the opposite holds good.
 There is no reason, however. that a dinner cooked and served by one maid to d reasonable number of peo- seven I think should not be entirely charming and satisfactory. Natural ly the maid must have intelligence and the ability to plan, as must the hostess also in the ordering of her dinner and the preparation Tor IL
 The latter should see that every thing possible is taken care of be- fore her guests arrive. She should see that the table is properly laid and in ordering the dinner should have at least two courses that may be ready to serve before the din- ner is cooked--salad and dessert, for instance. A long and elaborate din ner is not to be attempted and IS incidentally quite Lnnecessary TWO or three things well cooked are in finiteIy to be preferred by anyone, and one need never feel ashamed of this. Perhaps I am the wrong person to write on this subject anyway, tor in my opinion the people one meets at dinner are so much more lmpor- r. tant than the food or service that if ia hard for me to give the latter great consideration. Needless to say, however, if the two are combined the evening is perfect.
 The host or hostess should open

THANKSGIVING PIES
MINCE PIE

Mincemeat should not be used for at least one week after 1t IS made Most housekeepers make it early Tn November and keep it in jars in cool place. It should be stlrred oc- oasionally.

Re duce liquors to one cup and ada 10 the meat Stir in twice the quantity of apples, also chopped, one teaspoon salt, one pound ratsins, one pound currants. one-half pound shredded citron, the juice of two lemons and oranges and the grated rind of one of each; two teaspoonfuls of clnnac mon, one teaspoon mace, one-hait teaspoonful each of cloves and all spice, two cupfuls of cider and sugar to taste, from one to two pounds.

PUMPKIN PIE

Cut up small pumpkin without peeling. Put 1t in covered coiander and steam until soft, then peel ana put it into the oven. Leave door open and let the moisture dry out or fine pumpkins as the drier it is the sweeter it tastes. Stir often, then rub through a sieve and to two cup fuls of the pulp add one cup sugar one teaspoon butter, one-half tea, spoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonfui cinnamon, one-fourth teaspoonful each of cloves and allspice, one tea spoon ginger one tablespoon mo lasses and two cupfuls of milk. Cool beat well and add two well beaten eggs. The spices are a matter or taste. Many good cooks prefer only cinnamon and ginger. Pour into deen nje crust and bake forty minutes or until brown. Serve cold and around the edge put large spoon fuls of whiped cream.

COURTSHIP- MARRIAGE
nr nErrY NICENT

Dear Miss Vincent: Last year chap know sent me his photograph for Cristmas. He asked me for mine in return but never sent mine. Finally after several pleadings he took few snapshots of me which he kept Do you think it would be proper to send any photograph this year as Christmas present? We have corresponded for about two years and are very fond of each other:
 Since the young man has given you his photograph it would be just the thing to give him.
 Dear Miss Vincent: I am boy of 15 but very large for my age. I know quite a few girls but after I call upon them I seem to lose their I do not take them to shows Do you think. it would be proper to take them to dance or to show?
 "F. B. K"
 Proper, indeed, only you are too young to go about with girls just yet are IS or 21 before you begin to go out socially. Now is the. time to fit yourself for life work and that means study and hard work.
 Dear Miss Vincent: l wish to ask your advice on what would be an appropriate Christmas gift for girl T love dearly. We have known each other other for about five months and she is only IT. My income allows s10 for present.
 AN EARLY SHOPPER"
 Since you are not engaged you should not give the yotIng woman jewelry Books, candy and flowers are always appropriate. A pretty silk umbrella or vanity bag would also be correct.

Dear Miss Dix: Here are two little problems for your morning exercise: (1) ] am a young man 26 years of age. doing clerical work with tlle usual salary for such work (approXl~ Inately $500 per anrum). l believe have found "the girl" but hesitate for the last two years. but he cannot small income. What are our chances for happiness on this income? Please discuss at some length the relation, if any, between money and love.
 s(2) What are the signs of love in woman; l. e., how does a woman show the man she loves that she does love him? (Please don't laugh; I'm serious.) As intimated in Problem No. l. ] care for a young lady, but would like to know if there are any infallible signs by which fellow may know whether his girl really cares or is just kidding him along fs A READER.
 Answer:
 Whether S1.50o year is enough to smarry on depends, first upon the Kind of girl you marry, and, sec ondly. upon whether you place love above lucre and luxury.
 If the girl is practical. and domes- tie. aud thViftY if she is willing to Vdp her own homework and make her osgn frocks, then should, think that you could get along comfortably on that alEouut. But if she is eXtrava- . etnt an5 fond of pleasure, if she hates homework and Yearns for Jazz palaces and theatres and fine clothes, then you will find that a $1,500 in como will not pay the piper.
 When you marry on shoestring ftcome you must make up your mlnd Fro make many sacrifices. because you 7ill find that there is no greater lallaey than the old lie that two can live as cheaply as one. It takes at least three times as much for man fsnd his wife to live on as it does for .& bachelor. So you will have to cut out the classy suits, and the fine meckties and the little poker games, and many another little indulgence YOU arc used to. So will your wife And under such circumstances 1t takes a lot of love to make up for 4the lost pleasures and diversions aA But if you and the girl are of the &ifeht stuff you will md that 1t pays; and you won't stay at the Sl,5OO sal ..arv always. Nothing puts pep and ambition into a man so much as nav ing q family dependent upon him and somebody to work for
 Half tho rich men in the commu nitv didn't have S1,500 d year when fthey got married No, nor the half or it. And if you will ask them now they will tell you that the best days of their lives were when they and their wives lived in q little cheap .cottage and took street car ride for a treat and worked, and hoped, and planned together
 . So go to it. son The girl who won't marry you on a $1,500 salary is . poor sport.
 As for your second question, the best way to find out whether a girl is in love with you for keeps or is s1ust kidding you along is to ask Eher. DOROTHY DIX. N Dear Dorothy Dix: I have been

 Able authorities proved these methods effective. Then a new type tooth paste was created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent.
 That tooth paste has brought new dental era to millions of homes the world over.

 You see winter teeth now every where, and people smile to show them. Compare them with dingy teeth = teeth coated with a film. Mark how much those prettier teeth add to charm and beauty.
 Then make this test and you will learn how this new beauty came.
 That cloud is film
 The cloud on teeth is flrn--the viscous film you feel. Much of it resists the tooth brush, clings and stays. Soon it becomes discolored, then forms dingy coats. That is why teeth lose luster.
 Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tar tar, arc the chief cause of pyorrhea. Under old methods, very few people escaped those film-caused troubles.
