Selection of Flat Silverware
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| If the homemaker has more than the
medium-size sets. which can be used
for any regular meals.
A difference in weight may be caused
by designs, as well as sizes. Patterns
which match in knives and forks are
assumed to be of proper weight to ac-
cord, but it is well, nevertheless, to
balance one of each in right and left
hand when picking out patterns. When
they are not identical in design, this
trial is valuable.
1t is important to have the shanks
of forks and spoons wide and thick
enough to stand the strain of usage.
The shank is that part Of the spoon
which connects the bowl with the
larger handle part. or the tined por-
ton of fork with the handle. 1t is
made in one, with the other parts,
but is. none the less. the shank. In
knife the shank is expected to be
stronger In this era, when forks are
so commonly used to do the duty Of
knives, as we'll, the strain on the shanks
is great I have known several in
stances where the fork or q spoon
snapped in two. much to the discom-
future of the guest. The shape of the
silver was partly at fault.
Forks should be well balanced in
themselves. 1t is annoying to have
a fork turn tines up, when they are
wanted down, to pierce piece OF meat
or some bit of food. Yet such in
stances are not rare. The balance OF
the fork is so poorly adjusted in the
making that it is difficult to keep
tine tips down.. Avoid selecting such
forks

girls, dearly love to play. But one grows
tired of playing alone. 1t was SO with
Betty Bear Sometimes Mother Bear
| would play with her and this was great
fun But Mother never wanted to play
long nor did she want to play often.
So Betty Bear often longed for some
one to play with. There were times
when she didn't know what to do with
herself. especially when Mother Bear
had left her for a time while she went
OF on business of her own. At such
time she was sent up tree and told
to stay there.
At first Betty Bear had not minded
this She loved to climb and she man
aged to have a lot of fun climbing
about But as she grew bigger and
climbing became an old story there was
not so much fun in it. 1t was then
that she wished she had some one to
play with. If she had had a brother
or sister it would have been different.
One morning Mother Bear sent her
up tree and shuff1ed off as soon as
she saw that Betty Bear had obeyed.
Betty Bear climbed as far as the lower
branches and there sat down and
watched Mother Bear out Of sight. She
reached up and broke off dead stick
and played with this for awhile. Grow
ing tired of this she dropped it and
started to climb higher. Half way up
the tree she made discovery. 1t was
exciting. Yes. sir, it was exciting.
There was some one else in that tree!
Perhaps it is another little Bear.
what fun that would be-" thought Bet
ty. My won't We have good time!"
She scrambled up eagerly. The
stranger was out a little way on a
branch, but at the noise Betty made

in climbing. backed until he reached
the trunk. He wasn't Bear. 1t didn't
take but one good look for Betty to
be sure of that. He was a stranger
Betty never had seen him before. But
Betty Bear wasn't afraid. He was not
so very far from her own size Here
was some one to play with. Betty Bear
was not at all bashful
Hello" said she.
The stranger made no reply. Betty
Bear climbed bit nearer and tried
again.
'Hello!" she repeated.
This time the stranger replied in q
sort of grunt that didn't sound at all
encouraging Betty Bear took no no
tice Of this lack of friendly spirit She
was herself too eager to be friendly to
heed any lack of friendliness on the
part of this new neighbor
will you play with me?" asked Bet
ty Bear in her friendliest manner.
The only reply was another grunt
1t was just then that Betty Bear
discovered a fascinating thing. The
stranger had a tail. 1t hung down
below the branch where its owner was
sitting 1t was a queer tail 1t was
not very long and it was rather broad.
Betty Bear couldn't take her eyes from
it. She wanted to reach up and pull
it. She did climb little nearer. where
at the stranger began to chatter in the
most peevish way Could it be that
the stranger was afraid? Betty Bear

there more excuse fer the con-
temptuously insolent attitude of the
young fashionables who crash a party
given by the parvenus feeling sure that
the parvenus will be overwhelmed with
JOY at the honor of their presence.
And the fact that they are in many
instances right does the real damage
not to the parvenus, but to our young
people who have let themselves down.
That is the cruX of it.
On the other hand. if no contempt is
felt, no ethical harm is done That
such a situation exists is also the fault
of the hcstesseS who, giving a dance
for a debutante daughter and not salts
fed to invite the daughters very few
personal friends. go to a professional
party organizer for list of dancing
men," or, at best, borrow the list of a
friend. Then. being afraid that the
dancing men may not come, the hostess
sends out the few young people she
personally knows to round up enough
guests. Naturally, boys and girls who
have been urged to go to many such
parties take it for granted that all
hoStesses are only too glad to welcome
them. Those who, like your son, go out
in groups crashing parties" are usually
net crashers at all, but merely casually
sponsored friends of friends Real
crashers are silent. Your son, let us
say, goes with Jim and Billy and Bob
to the Jones. Bob knows Alice Jones
well. So in they go, and Bob explains
that he has brought three friends. Next
they go to the Smiths, whom Jim
knows well, and to whom Jim presents
his friends, and so on. There is no
objection to these halfway crashers.
