DINNER AND BRIDGE
HONORS BIRTHDAY

One of the most attractive events
of the week was the charming
bridge dinner given last night by
Mrs. r. d. McPherrin honoring her
husbands birthday.
The affair took place at the Nc
Pherrin residence. ITO State street.
where the apartment was beautiful
ly decorated in pink carnations and
tall pink tapers.
Dinner was served in buffet style
and later in the evening the guests
enjoyed a game of contract bridge
at which the prize for combined
high score was won by NJ. and
Mrs. Arthur Edgar.
Guests at this delightful party
were Mr. and Mrs. Edgar. Mi. and
Mrs. Leroy Holt. Mr.. and Mrs
Clarence E. Conant, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ross T. Hickcox. the hosts and their
son, Warden McPherrin.

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question When does the hostess
sit at the side?
Answer: At a formal dinner
when the number Of guests is a
multiple of four, the host and
hostess never sit opposite each
other. If they did. it would bring
two men and two women together
# the table is large enough to
seat two at each end. the difficulty
is not noticeable nor is it noticeable
at a round table. At a narrow
table, however, where there is
room for one only at each end. the
hostess invariably takes the seat
next to that which is really her
own, putting a gentleman IN her
place at the end
If the dinner is informal and if
the hostess may serve coffee. then
it is the host who sacrifices his
place rather than the hostess.

sour cream dressing. The woman
in the country with sour cream
and cabbage always at hand need
never fail 10 give her family their
essential protective food.
When we prepare cabbage there
are a few principles of scientific
cookery we should keep in mind.
The first precept is to cut this
vegetable into as fine shreds as
possible in order to lessen the
cooking period.
The second is to cook it in a
comparatively large amount OF ac-
lively boiling water. The third is
TO cook il uncovered.
These precautions prevent the
development of strong taste and
odor in cooked cabbage and at the
same time decrease the loss in dry
matter. crude protein and mineral
salts.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the bad results of over
cooking cabbage. Cook it not more
than 90 minutes. Ii it is tender
in less time. so much the better
