When a man exclaims. Where
have you been all my life? al
most any girl could truthfully
answer, waiting for you to get
through playing, dear heart!
For every bigamist, there is
somewhere slacker-bachelor
lodging his share of domestic re-
sponsibilities; and nine women out
of twelve, on a jury, would vote
to punish the bachelor. The only
woman who really wants to see a
kind bigamist punished is the
one who is tired of him.
Affection is becoming such a
casual thfng, That, pretty soon,
we shall probably be greeting the
iceman with kiss and the laun-
dryman with Hello, darling!"
The two most popular classes
of husbands, these days, appear to
be those whom women shoot be-
cause they love them, and those
whom women shoot because they
don't love them.
Just about the time that q

what order do they come? Also,

course. and. If the household is a

utensils should be so placed that
the eater will be able to take them

able to start at the outside and
work toward the plate.
For instance. il you are to
have oysters as the first course,
place the oyster fork Qt IL the

the plate, farthest from the plate.
Then, for the soup, place the

nearer the plate. Then, suppose
you are to have a fish course and
that you use both a fish knife
and fork.
You place the fish knife at the
right Of the plate, next nearer
the plate than the soup spoon, and
the fish fork on he left Of the
plate, farthest from the plate.
Next comes the meat course.
Place the steel knife for the meat
on the right OF the plate, nearest
the plate, and the meat fork on
the left OF the dinner fork,
nearer the plate than the fish
fork. Next comes the salad.
Place the salad fork on the left,
nearest the plate.
The dessert fork or fork and
spoon are usually placed just be-
fore the dessert Is passed; or,
better, are put on the plate on
which the dessert Is to be served.
