After it had become known that the
mysterious woman had attempted to
halt the issuance of the marriage
license, Costello revealed that in the
past he had objected to the attention
which Barrymore had been paying his
daughter, but said that he had for
given both of them" when the girl
disclosed that she expected to wed the
4l-year-old actor.

"As long as it ended up in wedding
it was all right with me-" Costello said.
Film induStry'S commentators also re-
called that Mrs. Costello never had
joined III her husbands objections to

l agree with your fiance. To
me it seems TO show lack Of re-
spect and delicacy OF feeling for
a man or a woman to call q

a father.in.law by his first name.
Usually the person marrying into
the family adopts the designations
used by the person whom he. or
she is marrying: Mother"

designation is. Or, sometimes, IL
this seems too intimate, the name
Mother" or Father" is combined
with the last name Of the couple.

Serving Late Supper
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:


have invited six couples for
an evening of bridge at my home.
After the game l should like To-
set my table formally. AS !
would like to serve a crab-meat
salad and sandwiches, followed
with dessert, would it be proper
for me to serve my salad on the
service plate and when removing
the salad plate to serve the shef-
bet on the service plate, or should
/ remove the salad and service
plate at one time?
2. In using place cards, just
where are they placed?
You will have a very difficult
time If you wait until after the
bridge party to set your table fer
mally. Can you not manage to
have the table set somewhere, and
pushed back against wall, out Of
the way?
A good way is to serve the for
NAL supper at the bridge tables.
Spread white cloth over each
one, set the covers, then serve
your salad and sandwiches, or
whatever you have prepared. Put
the salad plate on the service
plate and then remove both the
salad plate and the service plate.
Put your sherbet glasses on an
other plate. or bring them in OF:
plate.
2. Place cards are put just above
the place plate. or on the napkin
to the left of the place plate. IL
that is the way that you are ar
ranging your table.

AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

You may search any flower market
or trade with whatever nurseryman or
florist you wish. but you will not find
anywhere the equal for 'Autumnal
beauty of the bitter-sweet berrv. Over
the fence rows and tlrickets and in
those dubious, unpoSSessed acres of the
roadside bitches and copses it rambles
and scrambles. With some people it
passes under the name of waxwork,
with others staff tree. But the name
of waxwork suggests Nine. Tussaud and
lifelesS, startling efigies of inquisitorial
tortueS, while staff tree seems to me to
have exactly no meaning at all, since
no vine could serve any one as staff.
But bitter-sweet is magical, elf1sh
sort Of name. The word suggests the
chill, bright Autumn days that yet are
melancholy, and the smell of poplar
leaves down city streets, crushed under
the feet of the hurrying school chill
dren. Many things in life are bitter
sweet-going away to school, and loving
some one who does not love you, and
revenge, and remembrance. But these
are fevered, human things.
In the woods, in country, sunny
places, around the trunks of dead chest
nut and cedar climbs the true bitter
sweet, that, with the 'restfulnesS of
plants, is neither emotional nor in any
way humanity significant. A spray of
bitter-sweet will last all Winter on your
mantlepiece, and with its orange-colored
pods and Scarlet-colored seeds would
make merry hearth that had nothing
in 1t but gas log.
