SEPTEMBER
KNOWS
By-DouGLAS- MAIIoCH-

THESE are the truest days of all.
1 The summer with hint OF fall.
Spring Is all youth. for spring forgets
Amid its opening vlolets.
The eyes OF violets shall close.
April forgets. September knows
Sentemher knows the birds that sing
Like human happiness, take wing.
And holds things closer to her heart
Because she knows that things depart
Spring scarce possesses. being sure:
We love things most that least endure
We love things most we soon may lose
So many blossoms spring may choose
She chooses none. We closer clasp
That which already slips our grasp.
The summer comes. the summer goes ::
April forgets. September knows.

in absolutely good taste, but its blade
must be silver, or stainless steel. Next
to the salad knife put the knife for
the meat, putting edge toward the
plate. If you are serving a fish, which
has skin on it or bones in 1t, you
must then put fish knife at the right
of the meat knife. For a fish mousse
or for crab or lobster Newburg, do not
put on fish knife. At the right of the

you put fruit spoon for the fruit, or

leave off the implements for whichever
of these courses you are not going to
serve. And if it be necessary. for con-
venience, that you put the dessert i'm
plements on when you set your table,
the fork would go next to the plate on

ments is important because it shows
your guests which fork to choose. In

height adds dignity and keeps the

consider the fashionable table-setting
of the moment. Perhaps you cover
your table with white or colored damask,
or a tablecloth embroidered in any
variety of needleWork. or perhaps you
leave the entire center OF your table
bare. with very sheer lace, or other
needle-worked place mats: In this
case you probably lay mirror In the
center, and upon this almost any sort
Of ornament you .please-a ooWl OF
flowers. a piece of silver or purposely
designed conterpiece such as china
basket filled with china fruits to match
the dish, silver or china or
glass bowl or cup with a cover, or even
an ornament not usually associated
with table-setting at all.
Next you set the places at evenly
spaced distances. And now comes
point of personal expedience. II you
have expert dining room service,
service plate is put at each plate. and
on this plate, folded like three-fold
letter, lengthwise you put the dinner
napkin. But in a house with one serv-
ant, or none, you would perhaps
better leave off this plate if you find
it a handicap. In the same way, If
because of limited service it is more
expedient to put the first course at
each place before seating your guests
at table, the napkin is put at the left
of the forks, or "a modern method)
crosswise above the plate. (There is no
rule about this, because the only rule Of
etiquette is that the napkin goes on the
service plate and that it is very bad
taste to leave it off in order to display
a plate). Service plates should be in
keeping with your dining room and with
your other china. Over-ornamented
plates in a simple dining room are
improper. according to the first classic
law of beauty, which is suitability. 1t
does not matter a bit which of your
plates you happen to set the table with.
One problem, which the admittance
Of bread and butter plates has brought
about, is that when odd dozens of
plates are used instead Of complete
dinner service, mixed china Is inevi-
table. And butter plate of one pattern
next to service or any following plate
of another pattern is exactly like a
sheet of paper that does not match the
envelope For this reason silver bread
and butter plates are best. (They can
perfectly well be plated. Next best
are plates which match the glass.
The order in which the fiat silver
Is placed is the reverse order in which
it is to be used. On the left, and next
to the service plate. you put small
fork for the salad. To the left of this.

Ore of the members OF the Nancy

design she uses today. The original
block came pieced with rather large
figured material. As sent in, the block
looked quite right for a quilt for a
mans or boys room.
Nancy developed the design in a
slightly different fashion. She called
the quilt North Wind" and therefore
felt she ought to use blue and white
for the color scheme.
She cautioned the members against
