The GrOVth of Myth
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

nNE of the best established data in history is the prnc
u pie of the growth OF myth.
Whenever popular hero appears there grow up
about him. usually after he is dead number of startling
tales.
Somehow attracts certain class Of stories to himself
Many stories are attributed to Lincoln of which he was
probably innocent They sound like him and the teller likes
to attribute them to him although he probably heard
them himself.
So about every famous character myths accumulate.
Ktcheners body supposed to have been found the
other day somewhere in Norway and they will probably be
finding his body in Norway and Sweden and England and
France for many years.
Moses supposed have been spirited away and the
power Of myth such that many people suppose that he
simply got lost and died in the mountains.
King Arthur really died, they say but just
away, and about every hundred years the people
tain section hear faint music which they trace
where King Arthurs spirit is supposed to abide.
The is true Of that picturesque character Marshal
Ney, who is supposed to have escaped from France.
So the supposed stories of Romulus and Remus being
sucked by WOLF and Of William Tell shooting apple off
Of his sons head and George Washington choppng
cherry considered by many historians be myths
This based upon the fact that most people would rather
be interesting than to tell the truth
In fact to make what you have to say interesting the
rule of literary people up the time Of Nebhur and only
since then have historians carefully dug around to find
out the truth.
Attention has often been called to the fact that whatever
things in the not ypcaly true N

reason that the newspaper aims print Whatever
is unusual is Whatever is common is not Az

QUESTIONSOF
ETIQUETTE
.Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-L

Handling the Salad
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Is it ever correct to eat
salad with a knife as well as
with a fork?
INTERESTED.
1t is always correct to eat salad
with a knife, il the knife is the
proper kind of knife. That Is, IL
the knife has q silver or plated
blade.
Why shouldn't one eat salad
with a knife? There is really no
adequate answer. or at least none
that / have ever heard. The test
of the answer is. to my mind,
that, in countries where they
make the best salads, the CONT
mental countries. the knife Is AT.
most invariably used az an accom-
paniment of the fork when one Is
eating salad. And, as q matter
OF fact, we are coming to realize,
and increasingly of late, that
European methods of eating are
the more sensible methods of eat.
Ing. The European almost always
uses two silver utensils for most
courses. Even for the first course,
when that is hors d'oeuvreS or a
Canape of any sort, when It is
served at table. small knife and
FORK are placed for the course.
And both are useful. Then, too,
Tor all kinds Of entrees, both a
knife and a fork are placed. Fish
has now. not only its fish fork,
but its adapted fish knife. For
Nthe main course, the roast, there
are Of course the dinner knife and
fork, the knife with steel blade.
Then naturally comes the salad
with its convenient utensils, and
see no reason why they should
not be both the knife and fork.
Now / am not arguing that
every household should have all
these specialized knives and forks.
Not at all. AS a matter of fact.
the luncheon fork and knife, the
most useful of all, can be made to
serve very perfectly, not only for
luncheon, but for breakfast, sup
per, fish, entree, canapes, salad,
for crackers and cheese. and for
a myriad other duties.
AS a matter Of fact, too. loci.
cally with most salads the knife
Is necessary. For instance. with
hearts-of- lettuce salad, does one
not need q knife? With the Ger.
tainly-far-from-easy-to-eat e n dive.
DO we not need knife? With a
pineapple salad a knife Is a vel
come addition to the fork, I think.
And so it goes with most salads.
1t is so much easier, so much
more convenient to have the knife,
too. And once we see the reason.
ab!eness OF placing the knife az
well as the fork--as many hostess
es now dove will wonder whv
we did not do 1t before.
OF course one word must also
be said for the way that we use
our knives. There Is an art in
the handling of knife. we
should not hold 1t constantly in
our hands, in the extremely awk.
ward way that one sometimes
sees people doing. After everv
bite or two, the knife should be
rested on the plate-all on the
plate. not with the handle rested
on the table-cloth. And it should
otherwise be handled as If II were
a friendly companion for our con-
venience. not as If It were an
enemy.
