Today's Sermon!

Say, a great, devastating, bloody
civil war is about to be launched
upon this fair land
If we females of the species can t
get some service at lunch counters.
What Every Woman Knows is the
languid, naughty. madden;ng, sloth-
full, disgusting, insulting, Indifferent,
superior, peevish air which the wait
ress class has towards all girls who
perch on lunch counter stools.
"Us girls" may wait Is minutes for
the waitress to take our order. But
let might male perch himself be-
fore the counter and he is masticat'
ing his food with rapidity and dis
patch whilst we continue to possess
our souls in patience.
Sure it's because we don't tip,
And why don't we tip? Because
we are mad at his-fnhuman treat
ment. And why do we get this
treatment? Because we don't tip.
And there's the vicious circle.
Just the .samey, if were the owner
Of these lunch counters, I'd wiring
their swanlike threats and alabaster
necks until they howled for mercy!
And why in the world do hotels
never furnish wash cloths?
And why do those lowering walters
grab the menu card and hide it as
soon as you've ordered? Afraid of
grease spots on 'em, or afraid that
the patient will figure up the sum
total and try to exchange broiled
mushrooms for a cheese sandwich?
See that a boy down in New York,
stage artist, says that girls dress
to please themselves nowadays that
they earn their own money for their
buds, whereas when man paid the
bills they dressed to please him and
wore cliQgM feminine frills and fur
bellows. 4Ie says we dress hideously
now.

ionably clothe a dog. opines a rich
lady who attires her canine in the
height of fashion.
Thing to Do!
Although the knife as the table
weapon for peas is not now used
I'm our best families. time was when
the flower of chivalry transferred
peas to gullet via the knife route.
That knife had broad round
end used for catching up dripping
gravy and performing various gusta-

were made before forks.
BY the way, in setting your today's
table, the knife should be placed
with the blade inside, and the water
glass stands at the tip Of the knife.
Spring Brides!
The bridal veil is remnant of the
day when brides were shrouded from
head to foot and, betrothed or sold
to the groom and his father by the
brides father, were never even seen
by their future husbands until after
the wedding.
This years wedding wells are apt
to he of tulle. wispy chiffon or net
rather than of lace. They are almost
nodded to the head in tight cap ef-
feet, and are severely plain.
Daughters Careers"
June commandments not so far
away. What can l do? What do
want to do? ask daughters. What
should she do? ask mothers.
Might be worth while to take time
off from wonder and reader a few
books on various occupations for
women. Ask your librarian, your
book shop. or your State travelling
library for
