The Omaha morning bee., 1924-01-27

Omaha readers of poetry are antici
pating the appearance Of Edna ST
Vincent Millay before the Omaha So
ciety of Fine Arts on Tuesday, Jan
uary 30 at o'clock, Hotel Fontenelle.
This Is the first tour which the 1928
winner of the Pulitzer prize has TAX
en-. Miss Millay has accepted six
weeks of engagements in the princi-
pal eastern and middle western cities
where she will give platform readings
of her poetry.
Carl Van Doren. a friendly critic
writing in the Century Magazine gives
his impressions OF Miss Milay in
these words: Like all those who
most love life and beauty. she under
stands how both are brief and NOR
tai They take her round and round
in a passionate circle; because she
loves them so ardently she knows
they cannot last. and because she
knows they cannot last she loves
them the more ardently while they
do. In all her graver songs and
sonnets, she serves beauty in one way
or another"
Miss Millay recently married Eu.
gene Boissevain of the aristocratic
New York family of that name. Mr..
Boissevain's S first wife was the beau.

The tendency nowadays IL to eat
everything that one can with the
fork. and the suggestion has been
made that the ultra fastidious will
soon attempt to use fork for hot
chocolate. Ice cream Is preferably
eaten with a fork and for this rea.

form as possible.
In eating salad only the fork should
be used-never the knife. II Is per-
missble to cut the leaves of the let

the fork II they are served whole.
when you have finished with a
course the knife and fork with prongs
pointed up should be laid across the
right side Of the plate. This should
also be the position OF the knife and
fork when passing the plate for a
second helping OF meat at a family

In certain strict boarding schools
where table manners are part OF the
cirriculum the pupils are taught never
to use the fork in the right hand. but
to reserve that hand solely for the use
Of the knife or spoon. However. this
is difficult for most persons. and in
this country many we'll bred persons
do use the fork in the right hand.

Youthful Critics..

The little girl across the street has
dreadful manners. No one ever knew
quite why. Her mother is a popular
hostess and suayity itself to strangers.
But her daughter lapses into unbe-

tones the faults and failings Of her
neighbors seems to be one Of her
chief accomplishments.
One day the secret was out.
"Aw, go on" the youngster was

clothes, anyhow, my mother says so. -
The veil was rent in two. The

breathe of voiles so delicate that they
are thinner than chiffon. This fine

work. There has been no drastic
change In the silhouette evidenced in
the southern resort models. The
salient features of the winter out
line have been made more emphatic
the Miami silhouette Is more boyish, a
little shorter and has less tendency
toward the bouffant. But If the lower
flare has been modified. there is a
counteracting influence at the shout
