DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ May I enter your coy cor

in our class have a club which

Last Wednesday night we had
stuffed olives for supper with
other foods. My friends and
took the olives in our fingers and
nibbled at them while others took
them up on their forks.
Please. tell me which is the
proper way. And do not hesitate
to criticise my way, for I want to
know which is right.

INDEED, you are receiving the

You and your friends were quite
right to eat the olives in your
