Will there be a reception
after your wedding? Then Of
course you'll want it to be as
charming, as correct, as the
ceremony which precedeS it.
What about that important
matter of receiving guests? How
is it to be done? At some we'd
dings there is one receiving line.
The brides mother, as hostess,
stands first in the line, near the
door of the room in which the
reception is held. Next-be-
cause she's the guest of honor
comes the mother of the
bridegroom; then the bride
groom, and the bride on her
husbands right.
How to Receive Guests
There's another and more
charming way of receiving-the
one we've illustrated. Here
you see the bride and groom
standing together against a
background of flowers or green
cry to receive congratulations.
This way makes for less crowd
ing of the guests in one part
of the room. The bride is on
her husbands right; the maid
of honor at the right Of the
bride, and the bridesmaids come
next in line. Somewhere in the
background, within signaling

distance of the groom, is the
best man. The brides mother
receives in another part Of the
room, near the entrance, with
the bridegroom's mother. The
two fathers stroll about chat
ting with the guests.
When the bride and groom
have greeted all their friends,
they join the guests in the
room in which the refresh
ments are being served. If
there is a bridal table, the
bride sits on the groom's right,
the best man on the brides
right, the maid of honor on
the groom'S left. The brides
maids and ushers are seated
alternately, around the table.

Beauty
How to Gain
Weight
By DONNA GRACE

The overweight girl has the
advantage Of receiving a lot
of advice and consideration,
not because we like her so
much better than the slender
one but because she needs so
much coaxing and scolding to
keep her from putting on more
weight.
This is going to be a talk to
the very thin little lady who
finds it so difficult to fill out
the hollow cheeks and too angu-
lar figure.
The first and most important
thing to do is to try to relax
and rest. Every underweight
girl should lie down for at
least is minutes every day.
An hours nap is much better,
if it is possible.
Then the diet is very i'm.
portant. It should include as
much Of the fat-making foods
as possible without disturbing
digestion. Milk is so nourishing
and soothing to worn-out
nerves.
When the body is undernour
ished it needs a great deal OF
fresh air and oxygen, and the
consistent practice of deep
breathing will supply this need.
My beauty family is con-
cerned more about filling in
hollow cheeks and acquiring a
smooth, well-rounded neck. So'
I will tell you how to do this:
Mix together equal parts OF
lanolin, cocoa butter and olive
oil. This is splendid for the
neck and shoulders, and you
will use a down stroke with the
palm of the hands from the
chin to the collarbone. Then,
with the same stroke, push back
the muscles of the neck. You
had better send for my facial
massage movements, so you Will
know just how to work it.
A nice massage cream Tor
pumping out the cheeks can
be made by adding five drops
of olive oil to a teaSpoontul OF
your tissue cream.

tidbitS for breakfast or for salad
making. When marketing, buy
an extra bunch Of these and
use them with an orange and
Bartlett pears for the center
table decoration.
Cabbage and celery cabbage
are both inexpensive salad
materials. Combining these
fall fruits and vegetables into
interesting salad combinations
shows off to good advantage
the ingenuity of the meal plan
ner.
The combination of either
fruits or vegetables should blend
so delicately that no one flavor
will predominate. Avocado
pears are fairly reasonable now
and make delicious salads.
Cranberries are colorful and
are apt to be neglected for
salad making.
MIAMI BEACH SALAD
On a bed of crisp romaine
place six thin slices of avocado
pear, uniformly cut. Between
each slice Of pear place a small
amount of very finely chopped
celery mixed with Roquefort
cheese and mayonnaise. Pour

bone of a leg Of mutton which
had been roasted for several
hours was 1876 degrees F.
II, therefore, a piece Of meat
is cooked very rapidly and in
tensively the only result is to
waste fuel, the outer parts OF
the meat are overlooked, the
inner parts raw. Much better to
cook with moderate heat, slow
" and over a long period.
This fact accounts for the
popularity of the fireless
cooker. A serving of food once
thoroughly cooked has its sur
face sealed, it can then be put
in a semi-thermos arrangement,
left alone for IL to 18 hours
and be found to be thoroughly
cooked all through.
Primitive Art
Slow and fireless cooking is
one Of the most primitive
forms of the art, as can be seen
from the following account Of
the Kanakas Of the Friendly
Islands:
"a hole is scooped in the
earth, in which a fire is made
(Of wood, and kept burning
until a fair-siZed heap Of glow
ing charcoal remains. Pebbles
are then thrown in until the
charcoal is covered. Whatever
is to be cooked is envelOped in
leaves, placed upon the pebbles,
and more leaves heaped upon
it. The earth is then thrown
back into the cavity and well
stamped down.
"a long time, Of course, is
needed for the viands to get
cooked through, but so subtle
is the mode that OVERRIDING any
thing is almost impossible. A
couple of days may pass from
the time of putting down the
joint, yet when it is dug up it
will be smoking hot, retaining
all its juices, tender as jelly,
but, withaI, as full Of flavor as
it is possible for cooked meat
to be. No matter how large
the joint is, or how tough the
meat, this gentle SuaSiOn will
render it Succulent and tasty;
and no form of civilized cook
cry can in the least compare
with it,"

tablespoons cooking oil or fat
into the skillet and add a small
piece of garlic.
Remove the garlic before add
ing the meat cakes which have
been slightly sprinkled with
flour. Brown on both sides on a
quick fire, then reduce heat and
cook slowly until lamb is cooked
through. This will take 10 or IL
minutes, according to the thick
ness of the cakes.
Serve on a platter with a ring
of peas around the cakes, then
a border of rice on the outside.
A cream gravy may be made to
accompany this dish.

COLOred Accessories

Tailored suits have their place
in the mode, and very smart
place it is. They are nearly al
ways enlivened by a stunning
accessories in color, a brilliant
blouse if the hat, gloves and
bag are neutral, and sometimes
all the accessories will be in
color. Rust scarf, gloves and hat
with brown are stunning, and
almost any color goes with gray
or blue.
A good many black dresses,
which fashionists are beginning
to call background" dresses,
are seen too, and true to their
new name, they are used as a
foil for new accessories, or for
color. The dresses are well cut,
interesting in design, but rather

Etiquette

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I'VE have been married five
years this month, and I would
like to celebrate. Will you
please tell me just how / should
word the invitations?
"It seems like a grafter's game
to say, Come to my house to our
anniversary because people :eel
they must bring gifts. But it
would not be correct not to tell
them, as a few Of this group al.
ready know it.
Can you also tell me what
we can do for entertainment?
&C"
Many people feel just as you
do about mentioning the fact in
an invitation to a party given
to celebrate a wedding anniver.
sary or a birthday, that this
mention seems too definitely to
suggest that gifts are in order.
So, if you want to avoid this,
write your invitations simply
"for q party"-and let the
guests discover when they arrive
that it is an anniversary party.
The fact that some of your
friends know that it is your an
niversary does not make any
difference in this wording of the
invitation.
How about bridge or any other
card game popular with you and
your friends? Or backgammon?
Or shop in your department

games-they are thrilling and
of infinite variety.

think it's fair to spend it when
he's out working hard every

"He said marriage is not a

be 100 per cent in the mans

I don't believe your husband
was serious when he told you
that marriage should be 100 per
cent in the mans favor. Blue
beard and Henry the Eighth
thought that, but not even their
contemporaries went that far.
The fact that he gives you
his money and tells you to do
what you like with it, proves
conclusively that he's much
more $3.50 as to finance than
the average husband.
In your letter, too long to
print in full, you tell me you do
a good deal of arguing and quail
reling. Why not cut that out?
