Question Should the fork be
held in the right or left hand in
eating?
Answer: With the exception of
americans, well bred people usual
ly follow the English style in eat
ing which is to use the left hand
in conveying food to the mouth
when the knife is being used by the
right hand The American custom
is to cut the foot, put down the
knife and take the fork in the right
hand. 1t is largely matter of pre-
ference as to which method is used
although the English style is more
universal.
Question: May paper doilies be
used for trays and similar purpos-
es?
Answer: Never by preference if
che can afford table linen. They

New Play by Miss Crothers
By Percy Hammond.

TN WRITING LAS Husbands Co."
Miss Rachel Crothers was con-
fronted by puzzle in method. Her
Il chief characters, a woman and two
men, were in distress because the
lady in the case had fallen in love with
an English poet though she retained a
deep regard for her husband, an Ameri-
can banker. During visit to Paris
she had become lost in the miasmic
glamour that arises from the Seine,
and she vas preparing to abandon the
mCnct0nouS security of her Main street
firesidc for the bliSsful perils that Turk
in tho embraces of an author. The
stu" ton was rife with heartbreaks,
since ell the persons involved were sin
cere end lilssble. How, then. was Miss
Crothers, a conscientious comedian, TO
extricate them from their predicament
without resorting to the easy violenceS
of tragedy as practiced by Mr.. Bern
stein in ''Melo" and by Mr.. Hayward
in Brass Ankle?
I can imagine her wrestling with the
problem in her studio, now determined
to clarity 1t in this way, then deciding
to solve it In that. Eventually she
adopted the plan of getting both the
lover and the husband drunk She put
them under the influence of liquor and
thus their souls were exposed to one
another and also to the lady herself,
who, dropping in on the orgy. learned
that even bankers and poets can be
disgusting when in their cups. In wine
there Is truth, or as John Golden, the
producer of the play, phrases it. I'm
vino veritas," and so with the aid of
alcohol the mists are cleared away and
the comedy ends on comfortable note.
One suspects that Miss Crothers. in
so disposing of the dilemma, was urged
by motives Of showmanship. 1t would
have been just as easy and more legiti-
mate to make the conflicting charac-
