Most important to remember
about your dining room is that
it is just a place to eat, and that
only things necessary to dining
need to be there. OF course, if it
Is combined with the living room,
that Is another matter. But we
do not necessarily linger in the
dining room, and simplicity and
spaciousness are supposed to be
more conducive to good digestion
than q crowded room with con.
fused furnishings.
COlOrS May Be Gay
As to decoration, you can do
pretty much as you please. You
can have plain walls, or paper
your dining room in scenic or
panoramic papers. Gay color is
permissible, as Q cheerful dining
room is to be sought, rather than
one that stresses rest.
It is not the fashion now to
spread out all your silver on dis.
play, as was done some time ago.
It should be kept in closets or
cupboardS. The best decorators
say that we should have as little
furniture as possible, just as much
as we need. If you haven't ample
closet space, then you will need
two or three cupboard pieces to
put china and silver in.
It is not necessary to have all
your furniture in the dining room
match" especially if you have
furniture of a distant period. The
chairs should all go together, OF
at least all the side chairs should
match, and ar1nchairs can be a
little different.
Right Sized Table
The table should be chosen tc
suit the family needs, as to the
number of people that are usually
seated, and it should be designed
to accommodate few or several. II
you have a long table, it is better
to seat two or four people in the
middle, two on side, facing each
other, than to stretch them out
to the ends in unsociable manner
The matter of china, linen
glassware and silver is too vast to
60 into here, but be sure you have
enough, and, though it need not
be expensive, it can show good
taste and character. Don't fee.
that you must necessarily buy 8
set of anything, particularly china
if you can have fine pieces thai
are individual and beautiful.

SO fascinating are these covered
moldS that they simply cry out
to be taken home and used at
once, and such practical helpers
they are for culinary accomplish
ments! One day they can be used
for an elegant mousse or frozen
dessert. On another \ day for a
rich steamed pudding.
Today our recipes are for this
type Of pudding-so often neg.
lected.
Steamed puddings are really
quite simple to prepare and the
lack of a steamer does not pre-
vent their use.
You can construct a makeshift
from other pieces Of kitchen
equipment. ANY flat bottom ket
tie will do. Place a wire rack
in the bottom Of the kettle and
on this lay your mold Of pud
ding.
Prepare Mold
Pour boiling water to the depth
Of the pudding in the kettle. The
water needs to come up at least
half way on the mold. If the
water boils away it will have tt
be replenished.
To prepare a mold for use
wipe with clean towel and OF
thoroughly, using a pastry brush
or piece of crumpled paper. Since
the contents will swell, fill the
mold only twothirds full. The
inside Of the lid is oiled also.
If the dessert is not consumed
Immediately, it is best to cool il
thoroughly on a wire rack, wraT
in parchment paper and store ir
q covered receptacle until ready
to use.

Health
Winter Foods
And Vitan7ins
By LOGAN CLENDENNING, M.D

I have been making some charts
of common foods, and calculating
the percentage of essential food
ingredients which they contain.
For instance, an apple contains
so much carbohydrate, so much
sugar, so much water, so much
calcium, so much, iron, so much
Vitamin C. So with a glass Of
milk, a piece of bread, a helping
Of sirloin steak, a potato, an egg,
a dish Of ice cream.
In doing so, have been struck
with the fact that when I come
to the vitamin known as Vitamin
D, I find that I have to put
question mark in that column for
nearly any of the common foods.
We can say with considerable GER
tainty that an orange contains a
good amount of Vitamin C.
Vitamin d
We can also predict that yeast
or any of the cereals will contain
Vitamin B. But we cannot say GER
tainly, in the case Of any food,
that it contains Vitamin B.
Vitamin D occurs in fatty foods
and it is probable that person
who eats butter, egg yolk. or milk,
will get Vitamin D, but it Is by
no means certain, because this de-
pends partly on the diet Of the
cows or hens from which these
food products are obtained, partly
on the habits Of the animals, and
partly on the time Of year. -
The amount Of Vitamin D in
these foods may vary as much as
500 per cent in the course of the
year, even if obtained from the
same herd or flock.
Fresh vegetables are assumed to
contain this vitamin. and yet even
those reputed to be containers
may have none at all.
It Is well known that irradia-
ton, which means exposure to sun
light or ultraviolet light, will pro-
duce this vitaInin in living animals
or in vegetable oils, but "even a
slight amount Of artificial overir-
radiation, it has been found, will
destroy the acquired potency after
a maximum Vitamin D potency
is reached" (Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association0
Safest Plan
The question is a particularly
serious one in the winter. It is
probable that the human animal
manufactures his own Vitamin D
from exposure IF the skin to suo-
light. In the winter this exposure
Is necessarily diminished, and the
dangers Of Vitan1in D deficiency
become imminent.
Any one may make certain Of a
good Vitamin D intake by the use
of cod liver oil. This procedure
Is imperative in infants.
Adults, however, do not usual?
take the time or trouble to uss
cod liver oil delibertely, and the
safest thing for all Of US to do is
to see that we have as much eX-
posure to sunlight during the via
ter as the weather will permit.

leaves the coast clear for the
bride.
I'm aware that not all mothers
in.laW are easy to deal with.
Sometimes they are managerial
and meddlesome.
But against the day when the
young wife will no longer be
young, and owing to some unfavor-
able turn in the wheel of fortune
she may find herself a dependant
in the house of a son or daughter
let her stop and be kind.
Nearly all older women, includ-
ing mothers-in-law, have a pro-
pensity to regulate the lives Of
those around them. It's a hang.
over from the days when they
tried to keep the young well and
civilized by reminding them of
overshoes, mufflers, spinach for
dinner and to mind your man
ners."
Irritating to be mothered and
minded when you're so sure Of
your own wisdom? But stop and
think that all Of this worrying
and fussing on the part of an
older woman is nothing more than
misplaced devotion.
Jealousy
Older women are, Of course,
foolish to let their affections run
away with them. What they
should do is to relax, take the
line of least resistance and let
their adult children go their way.
Mothers-in-law with the wisdom
of greater experience may see the
pit yawning, but it's well to keep
quiet and let the shock Of tun-
bling into the pit do the moraliz-
ing.
A wife's influence over her hus-
band is never more strongly illus
trated than in the ways and
means her jealousy takes to make
him forget the mother who bore
him.
There are men-and not bad
men, either-who never go to see
their mothers, never write them
letters or remember them at
Christmas or on birth days.
Women are seldom so insensible.
And even if the wife's mother
has no welcome at her Son-in-
laws fireside-her daughter never
quite forgetS MOTHER.
Children who have never known
the companionship of that most
faithful of allieS-a grandmother
have missed a good deal.

Loves Young Dream

Dear Miss Fairfax:
'Is it possible for boy Of 18
and a girl Of is to be in love? I
am a senior in high school and
she is a freshman. don't suppose
we would ever be married, as love
affairs Of early youth seldom re-
suit in marriage. However, we
get thrill when in each others
company.
We've been going together for
a year and don't seem to tire Of
each other, although we have had
arguments, which we quickly
patch up. Could this be real
love? u. s"
AS the poet reminds you, there
is nothing half so sweet in life as
loves young dream" and, even if
the Fates have other fates in store

member with pleasure this girl

gether. And who knows? Some

Etiquette
Woman Guest
Of Honor
CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
''Is the lady guest of honor
served before the hostess?
when recalling engraved invi'
tations, should an engraved card
be used?
Should all guests at large re-
ceptions expect to meet the guest
of honor?
els it good taste for a girl to
refuse to dance with man?
"What name should q widow
use-'Mrs. Mary Smith or her
husbands name, Mrs. John
Smith? s."
Yes, according to the best form
Of hospitality, the woman guest
of honor, at the right Of the host,
is served first. This Is an added
bow of compliment given to her as
guest of honor. To her is passed
the untouched serving dish.
It is best form to send an en-
graved card recalling an invita-
ton, and usually this Is done II
there is time to prepare engraved
cards. If there isn't time for this.
a written card or note Is sent. In
some cases 1t is necessary to send
kilograms.
Yes, all guests, even at a very
large reception, take it for granted
that they are to meet the guest
of honor. At such occasions,
usually there is a receiving-line,
at which presentations are made,
or where self-introductionS are
appropriate.
It isn't good taste for q girl to
refuse to dance with man unless
there Is a definite reason for her
refusal. If the mans conduct has
been Objectionable in any way,
then she may, Of course, and
should refuse to dance with him.
But even so she should not dance
that dance with another partner.
She may either 60 to the rest
room, or she may chat with a
group Of friends during that
dance.
A widow correctly uses the same
form Of name that she used while
her husband was living: Mrs.
John Smith. This is the form OF
name on her visiting card, and
this is the form Of name under
which she is listed in the tele-
phone book or in any other pup
lie registration. This is the cor
rect form of name for us to use
when we address an envelope TO
her whether business or social.
Never should she use the form
Mrs. Mary Smith except when
this is appropriate in business
papers. The signature for her
checks is Mary Smith or, more
customarily, Mary Brown Smltn.
Her signature to a business letter
is:
Very truly yours,
MARY BROWN SMITH.
