Once Accepted,
And You Must Go

Attending a dinner after you have
accepted an invitation is something like
returning your partners lead in whist.
The only excuse for not doing it is that
you might have expired in the interval.
In general all invitations, once &C
cepted are binding to the extent that
one would not be free to accept another
invitation later for another apparently
more important event and then crave to
be excused from the first. But q dinner
invitation is particularly sacred. You
may refuse it If you like and you need
not even explain why, save for the in
definite previous engagement" But
once having accepted 1t you should
make it a sacred duty to attend.
II you are in doubt as to whether you
will be free to attend q dinner you
should refuse: that is. unless you are
extremely well acquainted with your
hostess and she urges you to postpone
your refusal till your other possible en-
gagement shapes itself.
To say to a hostess who invites you
to dinner, II have in a way accepted
another engagement for that night but
I shall get out of 1t If possible. I'll let
you know in a day or so whether 1
shall be able to come" is extremely dis
courteous. If the hostess is not well
known to you, simply say that you have
another engagement. If you are well
acquainted, tell the hostess just how
matters stand, but leave 1t to her to
suggest that you leave the matter open.

Head Work
On Sandwiches

1t was intended to be a minced sar-
dine sandwich spread tidily on a thin
slice of bread, covered neatly with an
other thin slice of buttered bread, the
crusts trimmed off and the whole cut
triangularly across.
But the guests-the new neighbor
and her huSband-came little early
and there was no time to get out the
sardine tins and mince them. oh, well,
no matter, that could be done when
ever the hostess happened to be dummy!
But when the tin was brought down
from the third shelf of the cupboard
1t wasn't SardineS at all. It was SnackS
There was another tin. SnackS, too.
She would make toast and perhaps
the snacks with bit of lettuce would
be all right.
Heavens! No bread. OF course, there
were those sandwich buns. but there
weren't enough to feed the four Of
them.
Two games later, when the hostess
rushed into the kitchen 1t was with
light heart She had had such a bril-
liant idea when she overtrumped the
new neighbor and took the last trick.
Luckily there was bacon in the house.
She split the sandwich buns and toast
ed them--that certainly covered up the
fact that they were getting stale. She
spread each with butter and the tinieSt
smudge of mustard. Then a lettuce
leaf. Then half a snack with a bacon
curl on either side. 1t was handsome.
The buns, you see. went twice as far

GarniSheS Give Fillip

Every good cook knows that much
depends on the way she garnishes the
food she prepares. Please substitute
the masculine pronoun and read the
sentence again, for the high-class male
cook lis a past master at the art Of
garniShing
And it is a very good idea for the
woman who would do the thing I'M
usual. to look about her in the restau-
rants and hotels she visits to get tips
In this matter of garnishing. Some
times the simplest thing, which may be
easily copied at home, is the most eff
fectiVe Indeed, the overornate garnish
is something to be avoided.
One interesting tea room does this
with its broiled fish orders: 1t serves
two slices of lemon with each order OF
fish, one covered with paprika, one lib
orally Sprinkled with black pepper
These bits of lemon are both useful and
decorative.
A hotel restaurant serves a fresh
leaf, well washed, of course, with each
order of halved grapefruit. The leaf.
sparkling with water is placed on top
Of the half Of grapefruit.
Another hotel restaurant uses a tiny
pyramid of whipped cream, pressed
through tube, as garnish to tomato
biSque.
Egg white shredded with a knife is
used as a garnish for chicken salad at
place where this delicacy is spe-
cialty.

Millinery Rainbow

The color OF the hat follows the
color of the dress or wrap with which
1t is to be worn. If it does not match
the dress should at least match the ac-
cessories Black hat or hats Of natural
toned straw are best for general wear,
since they look well with almost any
ensemble. There are wide brimmed
straw hats Of black for beach and
country wear that are smart and I'M
usual.
Straw or light felt hats of capucine
or naSturtium shades are sometimes
chosen to wear with dresses of those
tones Buttercup yellow is smart for
wear with dresses in which the yellow
note occurs. Some of the new fine
straw yellow hats are trimmed with
6 soft brown.
Chartreuse hats have met with con-
siderable approval among well dressed
women for wear with printed silks in
which the chartreuse tone occurs. Lip
stick red has been spoken of within the
last few days and so have Monet and
Persian blue.
Especially attractive are some Of the
wider brimmed shapes of fine straw in
soft brown tones. Small pink-and-
white apple blossoms trim one of the
most attractive OF these.

civilized or too sophisticated to
~ be interested in beads, and
i women never seem to grow too
preoccupied or important to
enjoy Stringing them.
Bead stringing has become quite an
art and there are special sorts Of string
and special needles to be had to per-
feet the art.
Fashions in beads change from time
to time and the string of beads that
satisfied you last year or the year be-
fore may seem just wrong today. You
may have liked the short necklace OF
choker length last year and this year
you may feel that the necklace should
be just a trifle longer so as to give an
oval line at the base Of the neck.
If you have string of real pearls
of choker length this may mean that
you will have to take it to a jeweler,
buy a. few matching pearls and have
the string heightened. Less expensive
chains you may feel inclined to length
en- yourself.
Or perhaps you have a broken string
OF beads-not enough left to make even
tight choker. This gives you the OPP
portunity to use your ingenuity in re-
stringing them with some additional
beads to make an entirely new sort Of
necklace.
A number of large beads may be
strung between small imitation pearl
beads, In one or two or three strands
the shortest strand Of choker length.
Strands of fine beads twisted rope fash
ion round the neck are smart at present
and these are not difhcult to make.
You can buy all sorts of interesting
beads noWadays-of wood and glass,
bone and various compositions that give
variety to shape and color.
When stringing beads. run the thread
into the ring at one side of the clasp,
ana tie 1t two or three times, leaving
short end as well as long end. Then
string the beads on the long end, and
when you get it completed, fasten on
the other side OF the clasp, then run
the thread back into the string of beads
for couple Of inches. Now run the
snort end OF thread at the other end
OF the string back for a couple Of
inches, to strengthen 1t at both ends.
You can string three strands of beads,
and faSten them all in the same clasp,
thus making one of the very popular
new three-strand necklaces. You can
make bracelets in the same way.
The longer strings of beads, of course,
can be made without clasps, for they
are long enough to slip over the head.
Tassels can be made OF strings of small
beads. The strings must be strongly
fastened at the free end. It is a good
plan to run the thread back again,
through the beads, to the top of the
strand, and there fasten 1t to the group
that makes the tassel.

The discovery that the good old sun,
to which we have been used all our
lives and from whose intense rays we
have been taught to protect ourselves,
has now become a therapeutic agent,
guaranteed to cure almost anything
under it, has given rise to peculiar
situation. We have no intention, We
say hastily, to subtract anything from
the suns glory or from any Of its right
full claims, but people should stop swal-
lowing half-digested statements and do
a little personal thinking. The sun Is
just the same sun 1t always was. Chill
dren sent out into its blazing Splendor,
dressed in however fashionable a sun
suit, are just as liable to sunStroke or
to being burned to q state of torture
as they ever were in the good old days
when the last warning we heard as we
stepped out Of doors on a hot day was
to "Stay out Of the SUM-"
Just because we call this exposure to
sunshine sunbaths. just because We lie
on expensive beaches and coat ourselves
with brown, doesn't make the dangers
of OVERRIDING this fad one whit less
obvious When we take expensive ultra
violet ray treatments from a quartz
lamp in a doctors Office we are warned
of the dangers of over-expoSure to it.
But when we throw innocent children
natures garments we temporarily
anesthetize our good sense and forget
or refuse to know when to call a halt.
Sunlight has legitimate uses as a
curative agent. Growing human bodies,
Just the same as growing plants, can't
get along without it. We have far too
much Of 1t in the Summer time. and
not half enough of it in the Winter,
hence our cod liver oil and sunbaths
have a real place in the Winter regime.
But in Summer we have to turn about
and protect ourselves from the sun,
knowing that the air is full of the
difused ultra violet rays and that a
child can hardly get too little of them
If he goes outdoors at all
So instead of putting him out like O
small chicken on spit and rolling him
round and round until well Drowned we
take Of as many of his clothes as pos
Sible, leaving face and hands and legs
bare, even in the early Spring, and take
him out in the air. We know that in
the air he will get the ultraviolet rays.
We likewise know that If he is dressed

There are fashions in meal planning
Just as there are fashions in hats and
frocks and interior decoration, and
there Is no more reason to think that
80 years from now We or our children
will be planning menus similar TO those
we plan today than to think that We
today should plan meals identical to
those served a generation ago.
The present tendency, in this country
at least, is to serve meals that include
more and more fruits and vegetables.
The high cost of meat and the preva-
lence of the opinion that meat ought
not to be eaten usually more than once
q day have done much to change the
general plan of luncheonS and break
faSts.
The higher cost of food generally has
made us plan our meals more thought
fully, and, Interestingly enough, has
in this country.
HAlt though foods Of all sorts are more
expensive, we have them in far greater
variety in all parts of the country, and
hence we are far less circumScribed in
our planning than women were 80 or 40
years ago.
Another tendency plainly to be seen
In the meals planned in most families
is toward a greater formality. We do
not load our tables with a lavish sup
ply of this sort of food and the other,
bidding members of the family and
guests merely to help themselves. In
stead we arrange the various foods in
definitely planned dishes, serving def
mite portions in the form of appetizers
entrees. salads, side dishes and desserts.
It is true that we have borrowed
much from European countries in the
matter of cooking and food preparation
within the past generation, but our
meals are as distinctively American as
they ever were. And Europeans arlS

Use of Pepper and Salt
Offers Table Problem

Are the salt and pepper boxes a
necessary adjunct of the ceremonious
dinner. or OF any dinner hat has been
carefully prepared? This is a question
that not infrequently perplexes the
hostess who prideS herself on the per-
feet equipment of her dinner table and
the correctness of her entertaining.
The argument against placing these
accessories on the dinner table is that
such seasoning Is unnecessary with a
well-cooked dinner and that they tend
to clutter up" the dinner table. Some
persons place salt and pepper boxes
only at intervals, making it necessary
for two or possibly three persons to share
the same supply. This is well and good
for an informal meal, but at a formal
dinner it would be most inconvenient
Really, why should we have to have salt
and pepper when all the food has been
prepared in the kitchen?
For breakfast it is different-then we
need salt for eggs broken at the table
and we may Use it on apples or bananas
or other fruit The argument is some
times made that some persons like more
salt and pepper than others, hence it
is necessary to have these f1avoring
accessories on the table. But then some
persons like more sugar than others and
some persons like more olive oil on
their salad than others, and yet we have
broken ourselves of having sugar passed
with our pie and pudding. and salad is
usually dressed before 1t is served now
adays.
However. it is quite likely that most
persons will continue to have salt and
pepper served on dinner tables as
we'll as on breakfast tables. How then
should they be served?
1t is usual in England-probably be-
cause of the prevalent dampness there
to serve salt in an open cellar. The
use Of salt shakers is regarded as a
gross Americanism by many persons.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-12

The shaker has numerous advantag es,
however. 1t is dustproof, while the
open cellar Is left on the table or
Sideboard for even an hour or so and
must collect dust Moreover, with the
salt shaker there Is no need for O salt
spoon.
On the other hand, in some sections
of our own land there are damp sea-
sons when salt shaker, no matter how
frequently cleaned and refilled, is bound
to clog. There is nothing so irritating
as a salt shaker that won't shake. One
is tempted to resort to violence and
bang the offending container on thes
table-even though we may know that
is a transgreSsion of the law of table
department that bides us dine noise
lesSly.
It is because Of the annoyance OF
the cloggad salt shaker that most per-
sons now use the open salt dishes. BY
many persons this type Of container
is regarded as correct" With the cell
lar these should always be spoon. II
you have no silver spoons and do not
wish to buy them. very small glass
ladies made specially for that purpose
may be bought for a small sum. Need
less to say the cellar should be filled
fresh before every meal.
The salt should not be sprinkled
over the 1000. IL Snoulo DC Idheh III
SUFFICIENT quantity to last for the entire
meal and placed at the side of the
plate. If it is desired for celery 1t may
be placed on the butter plate. 1t must
never be shaken on the cloth for that
purpose. Some persons first open their
potatoes and mash them and their other
vegetables conveniently on their plate
and then shake around the salt and
pepper. This. of course, is childish and
positively incorrect.
II there Is no salt spoon never use
the fingers nor a knife or spoon thse
has been used. Use fresh knife or
spoon.

Your Baby and Mine


and set in a sunny room with the win
dows closed he won't because ultra
violet rays do not go through ordinary
window glass nor do they go through
clothing.
In the Summer the strength and
potency of the. ultra violet rays are
intensified. The hotter the climate the
stronger these particular rays, so to
turn a child out minus clothes or in
adequately covered on a hot, hot day
is Just as cruel a procedure, and just
as censurable a one, as If we held him
too close to an open fire in order to
warm him up.
Moderation in all things. We need
sunlight; we can use sunbathS and still
not utterly lose our reason.
The tiny baby must be accustomed TO
suns rays very slowly. His skin is ten
der and burns easily. His eyes are sem
sitive to its brilliant light. A sunburn
is still a sunburn. The infant should
be kept outdoors for as many hours as
is possible, but he need not be in the
direct sunlight and his head and eyes
should always be shaded.
The small runabout needs no particu-
lar sunbath ceremony. He is to be sent
out to play in the early morning and
the clothes he has on can be counted
on two fingers, suit and a pair Of
sandals Dressed thus, he neither out
RACES sensitive neighbors nor does he
stand the chance of losing most of his
skin through sunburn. In the hot parts
of the day he should be kept in the
shade or even In the house. with just
the same precautions to keep him cool
as existed long before sunbaths.
We are far too prone in our en-
thuSiasm for the preventive and cura-
tive effects of Sunbathing to remember
that in some climates the sun shines
all the year round. That even in our
temperate zones the farmer gets sun
light eight hours of the day. And there
are still diseases and ailments and sick
ness Astounding in both places.
Looking at those enhancing &C
tresses summing themselves on the beach
and becoming maudlin over this sun
cult. we are expecting that just to be
in the sunlight will work some miracle
and cause all our ills to vanish and be
no more.
The real miracle, If we followed such
a policy in hot weather, would be to
escape a Sunstroke.
