to walk over to the Whale, as I
watched.
"Oh, don't frown at me that way,
Gardy. I can take care of myself, you
know that, even if my money and my

THROUGH A .manhs Eyes Rv IF AN NEWTON
MOTHER.IN-LAW'S DAY

THE town of Amarillo, Texas, A has added a new holida! to the calendar: "Mother-in-Law's day! The slogan of the town on that day was: "A mother-in-law is a mother who has made good" The mayor issued proclamation call ing for citywide observance. The leading theater gave entertainment, and business houses contributed fa- vors and prizes. Awards went to the oldest and youngest, the pret- tiest mother-in-law, and the one with the greatest number of chil- dren married.
 The important question, 1t seems to me, is who started 1t. Is Amarillo town so distinguished for happy marriages that the men have band ed together to honor the mothers who so brought up their wives to make them happy? Is 1t with grateful sons-in-law that the move ment started for "Mother-inLaw day.?
 Sadly, no. This is how 1t hap pened: Some of Amarillo's prom inent matrons. encouraged by Gene A. Howe, newspaper publisher, have organized the Mother-n-Law's club of Texas. The clubs president says, "a mother-in-law Is one who has brought up her daughters in such way that they want to marry and make homes, and have enough appeal that men want to marry ] them."
 Most of the mothers-in-law know would be bit embarrassed think, by such a movement on the part of woman's club in their town. Mothers (and therefore mothers-in-law) are people who do not have to advertise. They give as they do of themselves because that giving Is part of them. And there is nothing they want out of life, as a rule, which selling them selves" could obtain for them.
 Mothers are human, of course, and it warns their hearts to know that they are appreciated. It Is a great joy to mother to know that she has the affection of her daugh- ter's husband or her sons wife. | But 1t is the spontaneity of this that brings them satisfaction and I think the rank and file of mothers in-law would not be greatly en- unused over a holiday ii their name sponsored by a womans club. l @.

Good Taste Today

 Author of "E ETIQUETTE" 1.-THE BLUE BOOK OF SOCIAL USAGE," Etc.
IN THE DINING ROOM

EAR Mrs. Post: Is 1t important D enough to matter in which di- rection the cutting edge of the din- ner knife should be laid-toward the plate or away from 1t?
 Answer: Toward it, because when picked up 1t comes more easily to hand. All details of table setting are important because lack of pre- cision spells the effect of perfec- tion exactly as even a few errors mar the whole page of letter.
 MT. Dear Mrs. Post: I had din- ner the other night in the house of a hostess who placed napkins on the right side of the plate h. stead of on the left side. This Is the first time I have encountered the reversed practice. Is it a new idea? If so, Is it correct according to etiquette?
 Answer: There is no rule as to whether the napkin is put left, right, or crossways above the plate. All these positions are permissible only in houses of limited service in which 1t is necessary that food be put at the places. In houses with plenty of service, no food is put at the places before people are seat ed, and the napkin is put in its cor rect position on the service plate.
 Dear Mrs. Post: A friend tells me that according to latest modern fashion your column was behind the times in saying that deputy host esses serve the tea and chocolate at a formal tea introducing a debu- tante. am told all serving is done by servants.
 Answer: have no idea whose column your friend Is quoting, but 1t was not mine. Never in any times have deputy hostesses poured either at formal tea or at a wedding collation.. To quote my own book in the edition published in 1922: At the most formal type of tea, the tea table Is exactly like that at a wedding reception, in that 1t is large table set as buffet, and always in charge of the caterers men, or the hostess own butler or waitress and assistants. It is never presided over by deputy hostesses."
 
 Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t necessary to use individual butter knives when bread and butter plates are not used?
 Answer: Of course not. There would be nowhere to put them.

WE WOULD LIKE TO CELEBRATE

HEAR Mrs. Post: I have two N sons coming home from abroad with their wives, whom have nev- CT met. I would like to entertain rather informally when they are here so that many people will be able to meet them. What kind of party would you suggest that 1 give, and tell me how to write the invitations?
 Answer: An afternoon tea Is the simplest party to give and very suit able to such an occasion. Write across your visiting card:
 To meet Mrs. John Jones
 and Mrs. Henry Jones
 Sat-, Sept. 23,
 Tea at 5 o'clock.
 On the day of the tea your daugh- ters-in-law would receive with you. Have the table set in your dining room. Serve tea and either fruit punch or coffee or chocolate, as we'll as sandwiches and cake, but noth- ing else. Or, if you prefer an eve ming hour, then write on your double visiting card:
 To meet
 Mir. and Mrs. John Jones
 and MT. and Mrs. Henry Jones Sat. Eve, Sept. 23,
 at 9 o'clock.
 Serve sandwiches, salad, ice cream, cake, fruit punch and cof- fee. Otherwise, details the same as for a tea.
 My dear Mrs. Post: Mother and father will have their silver we'd ding anniversary late this month. They are not planning to entertain, but would like to have something for them, because I am very proud that at the end of twenty-five years together they are still ideally hap py. What could do? Perhaps ought to tell you that am single and live with them, but we belong to a country club where could en- certain without having them know beforehand.
 Answer: You might give din- ner and invite the few people they like best. Or, if you want to ask many people, you might have a tea for them, or an informal evening reception, which would be exactly the same excepting that you will have to have little more to eat. You should ask people verbally and tell them 1t is to be a surprise party. A wedding cake with white icing, but decorated with silver if this appeals to you-and as much silver decoration as you can think of would be suitable. o by Emily Post.-WNU Service.

blow that Farmer Browns boy had struck in his surprise. Instantly a look of pity and sorrow swept over the face of Farmer Browns boy. You poor little fellow I'm afraid have killed you and wouldn't have done that for the world" he cried.
 There were tears in the eyes of Farmer Browns boy, as he stroked the soft little body with one finger. A leg moved and then kicked feebly. Into the eyes of Farmer Browns boy crept a look of hope. Without stopping to turn down the leg of his trousers, Farmer Browns boy started for the Smiling Pool as fast as he could run. When he got there he dipped little water up In the hollow of his hand and sprinkled Nimble Heels. Nimble Heels gasped a little and Farmer Browns boy put a drop or two of water Tn his mouth. Nimble Heels opened his eyes. You see, he hadn't been dead after all, but he might have died if Farmer Browns boy hadn't tried to bring him Jack to life.
 "Im so sorry" murmureC Farm CT Browns boy as he stroked the little brown Mouse. "I'm so sorry. guess now I'd better take you home so as to be sure you quite recover" And so 1t was that Nim- ble Heels began long journey.

THE TENDER HEART OF FARMER BROWNS BOY

WHEN Nimble Heels the Jump

 whose sharp little claws were cling
 Ing to his leg. He simply knew that
 there was something alive on his

knee and his first thought was of Snake. Farmer Browns boy does not like Snakes. If he had done any real thinking he would have known that it couldn't be Snake, for a Snake would have felt very different.
 But Farmer Browns boy acted first and thought afterwards. In times of real danger this often Is the best way of doing. In times of imaginary danger 1t is often the other way around. Almost without knowing that he was doing 1t, Farm CT Browns boy brought his hand down heavily at the point where he felt those sharp little claws. Un- der his hand he felt soft little body.
 "Ohw cried Farmer Browns boy, "I'm afraid that that was Danny Meadow Mouse and that I've killed him."
 Farmer Browns boy sat down In the grass, and with his free hand carefully rolled up his trousers leg until he could take hold of little Nimble Heels. AS he drew out the dainty little brown-coated fellow Farmer Browns boy gave a little whistle of surprise. He had ex- pected to see blunt-headed. stubby- tailed, stout-bodied Danny Meadow Mouse. And here In his hand was the slimmest, trimmest little mouse he ever had seen. And such a tail. He whistled again when he saw the length of that slim, taper ing tail. Never before had Farmer Browns boy seen Jumping Mouse.
 Poor little Nimble Heels lay quite still in Farmer Browns boys hands. You see, that had been very hard

MEADOWS OF
 MEMORY
 By ANNE CAMPBELL

A CROSS the meadows of my 4 \ memory A collie dog comes running. The buttercups are growing happily. The quail are stunning. A meadow lark Is whistling from
 the fence A rail fence sprawling- And l can hear through thickets
 green and dense, The crickets calling. The butterflies are wheeling in the
 sun.
 The locust trees are sending Their perfume to child-a lonely Whose day is ending. When in the West the banners of
 the night Display their beauty. A little girl will take her bedtime
 flight
 A tiresome duty. My room still stands within my
 memory.
 I see each low brown rafter. Then remember-though l long
 to be
 Where childish laughter Made every hour of living refrain, Serene and glowing The house Is tumbled down, and in
 the lane
 The weeds are growing.

 THE newest of these four is that cute song A stress. Frances Langford. Her list of "go,s" Is enough to make you weep. She's got (neyer mind the grammar) soft black hair and big dark eyes. She's got beautiful figure and lovely voice.
 Frances was born in Lakeland. Fla. where as child she won local applause by singing at school and church entertainments. As young lady she attended Southern College. Her academic career was only half over when Eli Witt. millionaire cigar manufacturer. heard her sing at college festival and immediately signed her to appear on his weekly broadcas.s.
 Through MT. Witt she was given an aud,- tion with Rudy Vallee. Rudy was 50 impressed that he took Frances to New Orleans where she made her first coast-to-coast broadcast He, reception was such that she decided to try New York.
