Some Pointers
on Manners
A Lesson in Politeness.
BY Mrs. Bceckman

DEAR MRS. .BEECKAAN:
Recently l asked my best friend
Ga young mani TO dinner with me
at home. Upon finishing the meal
he made no comment, while | ex-
pected him to say TO mother Mrs,
Brown. I have enjoyed the dinner
very much" or at least make some
comment. Did he do the proper thing
or should he have made some pleas
inS comment?
(2) Is it correct for boy when
taking dinner with a girl friend IN
her home to put out the chair and
see that she is properly seated, or
is it best for her to handle her own
chair and all sit at the same time!
ANN.
Indeed, ~ou expected him to do
just the thing that he should have
done. An invitation of this kind that
indicates such delightful courtesy and
hospitality should be acknowledged by
guest with an expression Of ap'
probation. Your own phrase. "somc
pleasing comment" just hits the nail
ON the head as TO what he should have
said. $3.50
! hope that he will observe soor
that polite and apprcciative guest
thank for hospitality. Then his hos
tcsses will not wait in vain for q
friendly Thank you so much, Mrs
Brown, for n very happy evening,
or ut was most kind of you to .asE
me to come to your house this even
ing, and / have cnjoved every min
ute. Thank you so much
These phrases, which thank for the
thought of tbe invitation and the
hospitality. are better than thanking
for the dinner itself, Ann. You see
it is taken for granted that the
dinner is good. So one thanks fol
the thought of the hostess rather than
for the dinner.
(2) If only one gentleman is al
dinner, he draws out the chair fol
the hostess. In the case you men
toned in question one, for instance
that gentleman. if he were the only
one ut dinner, should have drawn
out the chair for your mother, ana
held it until she was seated. Then
if there were time, he would hold your
scat. II a girl and man were dining
alone he would hold her chair.

When a man asks a girl for her
hand. these days, it is a littlc shock
to him, to discover that it is already
clutching him by the coat lapel.

MY daughter" says Mr.. Orr,

hurry eating. until she began hav-
ing indigestion. She got SO thin
and weak until I was afraid she
was going to get down in bed. She
was away from work half the
time. Her skin was yellow and We
were uneasy about her.
I'VE decided she should try
Black-Drsught, too. She took 1t
for few weeks, regularly, and 1t
acted on the liver, her skin cleared
up, she BEGIN TO eat, she gnined
until she looked fine. Her skin Is
clear now and she weighs more
than she ever has.

Caramel Banana Pie
By Alice Irwin

To begin with the pie: While ba-
mana pie seems to rank high in the
list of favorites. there remain many
persons who think it is too rich, too
sweet. They will, think, agree with
me that caramel banana pie is ba-
mana pie at its best.
First we line q pine pan with pas
try and bake it in hot oven (50O
degrees) for 10 minutes, which should
bring it out brown and crisp. While
it is baking We can prepare the fill
ing.
The first thing to do is to cara
melize one-fourth cup sugar by heat
ing it in a small iron or cast alumni
mum pan over slow flame until 1t
turns brown. All these precautions
are taken TO see that it does not
burn.
Into the top of double boiler put
one cup milk and when it is hot add
the caramelized sugar, which will DC
thick. but not hard. Cook until the
caramel dissolyes in the milk. Com
bine one-half cup flour with enough
cold milk to make a smooth paste,
then continue to add milk until one
half cup has been used. Beat the
yolks of two eggs slightly and ada
one-fourth cup sugar, one-half tea
spoon salt and the flour paste. Pour
the scalded milk gradually over this
mixture, stirring constantly. Return
to the double boiler and cook for 80
minutes. Cool and add one teaspoon
vanilla.
Pour into the pastry shell and COW
or with bananas cut in thin slices.
Cover with a meringue made by add
ing four tablespoons sugar and one
half teaspoon vanilla and beating un-
til stiff. Pile lightly on top of pie
and brown in a very moderate oven
600 degrces) for 10 to 20 minutes.
Beet and onion salad may appear
in many forms, according to the va
rious opinions concerning the desira-
bility of onions. To some persons
large slices of Bermuda onions are
most welcome others find only small
young onions acceptable. Whilc
there are others who agree with me
that a very small amount of onion
is quite sufficient.
For this salad, my own preference
is for the tiny picked onions which
come in bottlcs-not the fairly large
homemade sort. but the expensive
small ones which are about the size
Of peas.

LISTEN, WORLD! '. i s:ns s is, Old Evil
By ELSIE ROBINSON

One can have certain amount OF
PITY and sympathy for. the Excuse
Maker. After all, the cards are more
or less stacked against all of us
There usually is some sort of a rca-
son why we don't make the grade.
Though you can't admire perpetual
wilmer, you can at least have fellow
feeling for the poor fish. But the
Rationalizer is despicable creature
without n redeeming trait. He doesn't
beg for your understanding or for
givcness. He DEMANDS your re-
spect and admiration.
Think it over, Pal.
Do you just make excuSes-or do
you rationalize?
