TAKE this big package of soap
bubbles in your left hand. Take
this smaller package of White
King in your right. Which is the
heavier? :. Well, YOU see how
il is.
The answer is that White Kings
granulated form permits il 70 pack
closer in the carton, like sugar. So
you really get more for your money
from the smaller package. The
suds are more significant than
size. And when il comes TO actual
washing value, White King Gran

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: What is an appropriate
menu for luncheon? s.-,
Answer: At formal luncheon
never more than five courses are
served and the smartest of hostesses
usually content themselves with
serving four in contrast to the pre-
vious generation when luncheons
almost as long as dinner.
For a five course luncheon some
such menu as the following is
served: Fruit, or soup in cups, eggs,
meat and vegetables, salad, dessert.
For a four course luncheon, fruit,
or soup may be served, and the eggs
omitted, or sometimes, the dessert.
