BY EMILY POST.


DEAR MRS. POST: May a we'll
and-tree meat platter be used
for any kind of meat or is it just
suitable to serve steak? Will you
please explain this style of platter,
which have never seen?
Answer-it is usually a large-sized
platter intended for roasts, with a
bowl which is useful in catching and
holding the juice. I have never seen
this type of platter used for steak, but
think it would be most practical if
the size is suitable. ..

Dear Mrs. Post: Will you please
explain where olives, as well as celery.
radishes, ETC., are placed when passed
around the table. and also where one
is supposed to put the olive pits?
Answer-Olives, radishes and celery
are put on. the bread and butter plate
If there Is one, otherwise on the edge
of the plate from which one is eating.
Dear Mrs. Post: How much of a
cob of corn may be buttered at one
time, and may the salt be shaken
from an individual salt pot as needed,
or must it first be put on the plate
and then spread with the knife?
AnSwer-Butter is spread across
half the length, or possibly the whole
length, of two rows at q time with
an individual butter knife. The more
butter you take the shorter the length
should be. Salt Is shaken directly
on the cob from an individual shaker.
If there are general shakers, then you
would, of course, take the salt you
need on your plate. This is also true
when the salt won't shake" Or
there is no objection to perhaps the
most convenient method of all, that
of mixing salt and pepper with the
butter, then spreading it all at one
time.
Dear Mrs. Post: Q) When only
one wine Is served through dinner
are wine glasses supposed to be re-
moved before dessert? CD At formal
dinner, when several wines are served,
Is any one left for dessert?
Answer-D No. a. Correctly
speaking. champagne is the only wine
to be served with dessert. The sherry
glass is removed at the end Of the
soup course and white wine removed
with the fish course and the cham
payne continued through to the end
Of dinner. (Port, Of course, when
served. comes last Of all)

Creams to overcome skin drought, to rec0ndi.
tion TO stimulate and refresh and also to bleach.
in Washington sh,

exposure to intense light rays tends
to convert the ingredients so that
when they come in contact with water
they release tiny particles of oxygen
and thereby give you bit of natures
greatest life-giving property in
cream which has been blended with
natural oils.
This all sounds rather like a prob
lem in chemistry. but the idea is that
one of the substances contained in
the cream is found to make up one
fifth of the fatty substances of the
skin, and therefore invaluable for re-
storing certain essential elements
which may have become deficient
during the hot-weather months.
The method of procedure with this
cream Is a little different from the
usual. Moisten the face first with a
cloth wrung out of warm water and
then apply the cream to face and
neck. Best results are obtained when
the cream is applied at night before
retiring.
This cream is moderately priced
and easily within the limits of .
careful budget.

4 VERY delightful cream masque
that does not harden on the
skin, performs its beauty miracle in a
few minutes instead Of 20 long ones,
and can be easily removed with tis-
sues, is one that you will enjoy using.
Furthermore, it Is not extravagantly
priced.
A treatment with this dainty pink
herbal creme is pleasurable relaxa-
ton. 1t can be used at any time. but
for these warm days 1t is ideal be-
cause it is not greasy. It spreads on
in thin, delicate film, and revives
and tightens the skin, making you
ready for makeup and an altogether
happy and refreshed appearance.
This masque also has a slight bleach
ing effect that may be desirable at
this time.
These little aids to better looks can
not be overlooked in our busy modern
life, and it Is often just a question of
finding one that suits your require
ments, your fancy and your purse.
This one Is worth trial.

IF YOU are as anxious to get rid of
your tan now as you were to ac-
quire it some weeks ago, you will be
looking around for bleaches to help
you out of your difficulties.
We know Of bleaching cream that
sells for 81 that is very good. It is
the output of q well-known house and
has proved satisfactory for number
Of years.
Another one Is q lemon lotion con-
tanning the combined effects of fresh
lemon juice with other things to off,
set its drying tendencies. 1t will soften
and bleach and is made particularly
for erasing skin tan. For q more
complete treatment you may use a
freckle lotion on alternate nights with
a bleaching cream, then in the morn
ing apply the lemon lotion both as
. stimulator and bleach. With the
aid of three agents all working in the
same direction you surely should get
some worthwhile results.

Here Are a Few Extras
Many Ways
.OfSirnulating
Good Suntan
Liquid Beauty Lotions
and Violet Ray
Lamps Effective.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IF, UNLIKE the rest of the world of
women who right now seem to want
to get rid of every bit of bronze hue,
you want to keep the golden glow, you
can.
I know a number of young women
who like themselves that way, like the
healthful look that deep tan gives.
Tan, by the way, is essentially the
young persons vogue. 1t is ageing to
older skins. But, as I was saying, I
know several young women who tan
gradually and effectively during the
Summer, continue to hold the tan by
cleverly matching and applying the
bottled variety. Occasionally they
take a suntan lamp treatment under
a physicians supervision; in Winter
they go South for a few weeks. So
that for the greater part of the year
they remain bronze beauties. In be-
tween times there's always the bot
tied tan to insure the upkeep.
Speaking of the bottled suntan, it is
altogether safe and satisfactory In
fact, in some respects it has it all
over the natural tan, acquired by
blinking at Old Sol. There isn't any
chance of overbaking, burning, pain
full suntan, no peeling, roughness and
coarseness. You are assured of
pretty smooth coat. And, what's
more, should you very suddenly have
change of heart and decide that
your natural alabaster whiteness is,
after all, more fattering in one of the
new glamorous and utterly feminine
evening gowns you have only to re-
move the tan and pat on an ivory
white foundation cream or lotion OF
course, we don't promise the health
full effects that come with a real tan
in studied doses. And we do admit
that the only thing that will keep up
the real tan is continued exposure.
Otherwise it is natural for the tan TO
fade gradually.
But if it is the appearance of tan
that you crave, the bottled suntan will
give you that.
One important detail, however. If
you continue to appear suntanned
continue to use your Summer or sun
tanned makeup. Remember that
the orange-tinted rouge and lipstick
and the beige powder are harmonious
notes with the tanned complexion.
With porcelain whiteness the blue
red makeup Is the note. but this
would, of course, jar with tan.

Travel Tip.

Have you hesitated to take q plane
with the thought in mind that you
couldn't carry all the things with
you that you'd like to? II you have,
here are two ways to solve the prob
lem.
First. If you are travelling Just from
one city to another in the United
States, all leading air lines will permit
you to take IS pounds Of baggage. To
be sure, this doesn't sound like very
much-especially when you remember
how heavy bags and cases can be.
But you can get over this hurdle by
carrying one Of the new light weight
travelling cases that combines sturdi-
ness with the least possible weight, and
gives you considerably more pound
age for your clothing and personal
effects.
II you plan to sail for Europe, the
Orient, or plan an ocean cruise, and
your air journey Is just the first lap
of your whole trip, then the air lines
permit you to take along your full rail-
road allowance Of $50 pounds for
adult tickets. Your allowance on
board ship d $50 pounds with each
ticket. without additional charge.

VERY mother desires her
- daughter to be a social sue
cess. She wants her to have
- a gay time as a girl, to be
admired by men. to have plenty Of
dates and eventually to make good
marriage. When this does not hap
pen, when daughter spends her eve
nings at home reading an improving
book instead of stepping out with a
young man, and when she Is left at
the last hanging upon the parent
bough, mother Is even more chagrined
and disappointed than the girl.
Mother can't understand 1t, be-
cause so far as she can See Julia Is
just as pretty and attractive as she
was when she was young, yet she
always had plenty Of beaux, while
Julia has never a one to bless her
self with But the answer to mothers
problem Is often enough herself, and
the reason why Julia isn't popular
is because, without knowing it or in
tending it, mother has handicapped
her 50 heavily that she cannot pos
sibly win out.
The most obvious type of this
marplot mother Is, Of course, the
woman who is so determined to keep
her innocent little darling unspotted
from the world that she shuts her
completely out of the world Of young
people. She isn't going to have her
Julia carrying on like all the other
Julias and staying out after IL
o'clock at parties, and so as Julia can't
run with the gang she Is left at home
lamenting.
THEN there is the other woman
who ruins her daughters chances
by pinch hitting for her and who pur-
sues every youth with such fell de-
termination that he fees in terror
from her. Her daughters are going
to have attention from men even If
the men have to be bribed, cajoled,
coerced and shanghaied into taking
them places. In season and out OF
season she ballyhoos her girls
charms and tells how beautiful, how
amiable, how domestic they are until
she depreciates their real value by
her overadvertising.
There is the mother who blights
her daughters chances of success by

TINE skin that was so becomingly
tanned on the vacation trip
often appears strangely dry
4 and out of condition once you
have got back to the regular city
routine again. All those glorious.
bright, sunny days have left signs Of
a peculiar kind of drought on many
a carefully nutured complexion.
Not only Is the skin of the face dried
out, but the sides and back of the
neck are often discolored, and the
hands are parched looking, especially
if you have been living out of doors
for many weeks. Even week of ex-
posure to the sun will often leave
a very unfortunate skin condition. All
these areas need immediate attention
and a large dose of fabrication. OF
course, nature will eventually bring
back the skin to normal, but who
would choose to wait weeks when a
little daily effort will bring the de-
sired result in short order, and prob
ably make better job of it. any,
way. We believe on improving on
nature these days!
We have recently learned of a new
cream rich in natural oils so carefully
blended and adjusted to actual skin
requirements that a test application
on a badly affected skin area is alb
sorbed completely and practically with
out a trace. This cream proves it
self veritable mamma for starved
skin cells and tissues. A brief two
week treatment that requires but q
few minutes each day, should produce
gratifying results and not only bring
your skin back to its normal condi-
ton, but even improve on that con-
dition, if you have any tendency to

enforcing perpetual babyhood on her.
Mother doesn't want q grown-up
daughter to date her, so she keeps
daughter shut up in the nursery long
after she should be learning her way
about in society. Mother always re-
fers to her as my little girl" and
gives the impression she is still play
ing with dolls. When the little girl,
aged 20 and nearly six feet tall, does
come forth from her hiding place
she is a good deal of the moron her
mother has made her. and Is shy and
awkward and lacking in poise and
conversation.
Another mother who Is often her
daughters worst rival is the woman
who Is vivid, vivacious, dramtic, and
who has the gift Of showmanship. Only
too often this kind of woman has q
daughter who is just sort of an also
ran girl, good enough looking, intelli-
gent enough, attractive enough to hold
her own If only she were not brought
in deadly contrast with her brilliant
mother. That just simply flattens her
out and leaves her drabber and more
commonplace than she really Is.
A MOTHER woman who does her
daughter fatal wrong is the bossy
mother who suppresses all of her
daughters personality and leaves her
daughter seem like a dummy because
she doesn't even let her answer a
question. If you say: "Julia, will you
have sugar in you tea?" Mother re-
plies: Julia never takes sugar. Just
give her little lemon" If you inquire
how Julia enjoyed the symphony con-
cert, mother says: Julia was en-
tranced. She is so fond of music" :"
Very likely Julia could babble like the
brook if she were given a chance ana
be bright and interesting talker. but
mother puts the lid on her until she
acquires the reputation of being q
boresome say-nothing, and she Is left
out of everything.
Then there are the mothers who
take all of their daughters beaux away
from them by knowing the technique
of how to handle men so much better
than their inexperienced laundering
young girls do that before they know
1t mamma is having jolly little flirta-
ton with the boy friend and the girl is
sitting out in the cold on the sidelines
Mamma doesn't really intend any
harm.
She is just trying to see If she has
lost her charm for the opposite sex,
but it makes the girl run such q poor
second to mother that it causes the
boy to lose interest in her. Girls who
have very attractive mothers nearly
always suffer from an inferiority
complex.
Or it may be that the reason q girl
is not popular is because her mother
is inhospitable to young people and
doesn't like to have them tracking IN
mud, or running the radio after 10
O'Clock, or scratching up the floors
dancing. Or it may be because mother
thinks that all the young men come tc
see her instead of Julia and spends the
evening monologing to them about her
rheumatism. or how groceries have
gone up, or telling them how cute Julia
was as q baby. Every mother helps
make or mar her daughters popularity.
