When Manners
Are Correct
The Salad Fork

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
MY many friends have Sug-
gested that l write to you.
At an informal luncheon, to
the left were two forks, a salad
and q meat fork. After the
fruit cocktail was removed, the
entree of one-half chicken and
vegetable came accompanied
by a small lettuce and tomato
salad, to the right.
1 used the meat fork for both
the salad and the fowl, and had
the salad fork remaining. Both
forks were used by the others.
When the dessert was served,
there was a small fork for this
on the plate. I still had the
extra fork.
May / say, too, there was no
butter spreader and l cross
crossed with the meat knife.
EMBARRASSED.
Don't worry about this, for
it isn't really necessary to use
the special fork for the salad
that accompanies the meat, al
though it is better to do so.
The appearance of the salad
fork with the salad is more at
tractive, the meat fork being
reserved for the meat, or, in
this case, the chicken.
HosteSses are becoming in
creasingly careful about this
placing of a salad work for the
salad that accompanies the
main course, and since they are,
we must remember to cooperate
with them by using the fork. .
or we won't get it again! And
you do agree. don't you?..
that it does make the course
meat and tidy"

Simply adorable. And 1 do

beauty. For that matter, your
mother is certainly a collectors

He searched for the word,
and Val supplied it.

She had been so afraid that
they wouldn't like each other.
l., And now Millie and her hus-
band. Mr.. Harris, were visiting
in Vars house, and everybody
liked everybody else, and it
made her so happy!
Mr.. Harris, fragile and distin-
gMshed, sat in a corner and
talked art and architecture to
Joe. Millie, with her raven
black hair looped at the back
sot her neck, her beautiful
rbrows longer and lovelier than
ever, her exquisite rose and
white skin, and her generous,
laughing carmine mouth was
like some exotic flower on a
slender stalk.
Wonderful Millie
Millie wasn't only slim-she
WAS really thin, almost angular.
j Her cheek bones showed so
: plainly now, and you realized
. the breadth of her beautiful
shoulders and the slimneSs of
her hips.
I'm afraid she isn't well.
that ALL" Joe said. She's almost
as fragile as the old man, and
while that milk-white skin and
brilliant coloring are lovely
they don't denote health if I
know anything about it,"
"Oh,. she's always been like
, that-except not so thin. She's
dieting"
well, you better tell her to
stop it," Joe said.
, Val laughed at that. Just
as If anyone could make Millie
do anything she didn't want
to do!
Milhe was wonderful. She

didn't say anything. She didn't

things, and. somehow things
began to look different.
Millie had the magic touch.
Things bIoomed where Millie
was. Even the sickly-looking
geraniums in their pots looked

the earth around them and
washed their dusty, greasy
leaves.

the card led as exposed, calling
it to be played whenever its
posSesSor may do so without
revoking, or he may call upon
the player whose turn it is to
lead, to lead from any suit the

children, the Alaska teachers and the Territory There are now less than half as many "Chechako" teachers coming to the Territory now, than there were a few years ago.
 This policy has resulted in giving employment to dozens of Alaskans, in reducing the number of teachers who come to Alaska for only year or two, and then leave, in provid- ing more responsible teachers for our children and to the general stability of the school system. It took a recommendation by the Commissioner of Education to bring this about.
 Alaska is fortunate in having a man of MT. Keller's ability and foresight as head of the Territory's school system. His policies have made him an outstanding educa- tor, not only in Alaska but in the nation. He should receive the un- qualified support of the voters.
