Where to Go-What to Take-On Short Motor Outings
Etiquette
Family y'Means
Adults
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEEChMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 shall appreciate your
opinion as to whether or not it
is proper to take a little girl
nine years old to a church we'd
ding. The wedding will take
place at in the evening, and
the invitation was addressed to
my husband and myself and
family. "AL1CE."
Usually an inclusive" wedding
invitation, such as you and your
family received, means that only
the adult members of the family
are included in the invitation. Sc
you would have to use your own
judgment as to whether or not
the hosts who sent the invitation
meant to include the little girl OF
nine.
If you have very definite doubts
about it, it would be quite correct
to ask them about bringing this
very young guest.
If you are attending only the
church ceremony it wouldn't make
so much difference, but I doubt
if it would be good taste for you
to take this little girl to the re-
cepton.

VTAGABOND is the name Of this
v smart shoe, which men are
wearing for vagabonding in town
as we'll as at the beach. It's of a
leather called steerbuck, which is
durable and soft. The whole shoe
is delightfully."- flexible, with plan
tation crepe sole. The best feature
is the colors. smart and sportsy
looking: navy with white eyelets
tie and sole; gray, brown, buff
and the same shoe comes in white

Tomato Cocktail in Thermos

Tomatoes Mustard

Bananas
Homemade Chocolate Nut Loaf
or Canned Date Bread

Accomplishing the marketing is
the most difficult part of this
menu preparation. The tomato
cocktail comes, of course, already
seasoned and can be taken in
thermos or can be chilled after
arrival.
Incidentally, new thermaN
bottle displayed at one of the
downtown stores is designed for
ice cubes. The top is wide and
will hold a salad or ice cubes. 1t
comes in a quart size and has a
neat chromium top with a handle.
The ham is also canned and can
be purchased in two or threo-
pound cans. The bone is usually
removed. This makes an economi-
cal buy.
In purchasing your steaks make
sure that they are tender and you
will find that time is saved if they
are cut for broiling before they
are packed in the lunch box.
Tomatoes, cucumber slices, let
tuce, mustard, chilli sauce, buns
may all be included for sandwich
making. Having salt and pepper
shakers with non-spillable tops is
a great convenience.
A fitted case displayed at down
town shops is also boon to the
business girl and to those who are
apt to forget some very important
item-like the forks, when there
are baked beans on the menu. This
comes equipped with six plates,
cups. knives, forks, spoons, and a
salt and pepper shaker.

of all are cork luncheon sets,

POOR DANCER
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
my mother saved every cent she
could rake and scrape to send me
to cOIlege-there was no money
left over for dancing lessons. We
lived ON a farm, and everyone was
too busy to learn how to dance.
"When 1 finally got to college
studied all the first year. The
second year 1 wanted to have some
fun. I invited a girl to a dance;
told her beforehand / didn't know
how to whirl and slide on q ball
room floor. She gave me two les.
sons at her home before going 70
the prom.
"She tried to dance with me
twice on the fatal evening, and I
guess 1t must have been q terrible
experience for her, because I took
my place with the waIlflOwerS and
talked to the wife Of one of the
prOfs. Later I found she had
been amusing her friends and
mine by giving limitations Of my
dancing.
II may be a rotten dancer and
a farm boy, but / know this young
lady'S manners are worse than any
encountered in the sticks
"BUMPKIN."
Don't be discouraged over your
experience with this, underbred
young miss. Better show her.
Learn to dance really we'll. Some
of your friends will undoubtedly
put you through your PAGES, so
that you will sail off gracefully
with another girl.

The foundations are blended

is a smooth surface, and although
it may be somewhat moist finish,
it is. always subdued with one or
two of the nice soft powders. Two
shades of powder over this make

luminous transparency than when
one shade of powder is used.
There are beautiful, dull-finish
powders, too, that give the skin
a velvet Smoothness and help to
counteract any excessive oiliness.

Playing Card Pictures
REPRESENTED Persona res

Marks upon the suits of cards were
supposed to have been the symbolic
representation of the different classes
of society. The hearts stood for the
clergy, clubs for the soldiery. spades
for the serfs. and diamonds for the
merchants. According to records, OBJ
serves writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, the pictures represented actual
personsges. The kings, in the early
French cards, were David, Alexander.
Caesar and Charlemagne, being the re-
spective representatives of the Jewish,
Greek, Roman and French monarchies !;
the queens we're Argine, Esther, Judith,
Pallas.
The marks on the suits of cards have
undergone various changes. In the ear

many are hearts, bells, leaves and
acorns; Italian cards had swords, ba-
tons, cups and money. The club of the
modern card is derived from the ire

at first were the king, chevalier and
knave. The queen was first substitute
ed for the chevalier by the Italians.

Spider Web and cobweb

A spider web is the silken web
formed by most kinds of spiders espe-
cially to entrap prey. The threads are
composed of viscid fluid secreted by
glands in the abdomen, and discharged
through minute orifces in the spinner
cts. The fluid hardens on exposure to
the air. The framework of the net is
always of hard dry threads, but some
spiders make the net partly of stocky
elastic threads, or of threads curled or
mingled in peculiar way by special
apparatus Ohe calamistrum). The
form of the web is often characteristic
of the different families and genera,
those of the geometric spiders and tri-
angle spiders being notable for regu-
larity and ingenuity. A cobweb is a
single thread spun by spider or in
sect larva. Also, anything likened to
spider web as slight of flimsy net
work or texture, clogged with obscur-
ing accumulations, especially as a re-
suit Of neglect or disuse.

Justin Morgan went from Vermont tol
his former home in Springfield, Mass,
to collect some money due him. In
stead, he returned with a gelding and
two-year-old colt. The latter was
later named Justin Morgan after his
owner and became the fountainhead of
the breed. Although Morgan, the man,
died three years later, Justin Morgan,
the horse, lived to the ripe old age OF
twenty-nine years and finally died from

Shark. Grow to crea. Length

There was time when only the no.

could enjoy the use Of paper, and then
in only the most meager quantities
Only 1900 years ago Emperor Trajan
Of Rome was the delighted recipient Of
munificent gift consisting of 20 reams
Of paper from the emperor Of China.
In that age and time, 20 reams of the
precious fabric was considered royal
gift indeed, and only potentate with
the vast resources Of China at his dis
posal could afford to give a present Of
such value. One can imagine the Ella
ton enjoyed by Trajan upon receiving
SO great quantity of paper, and thus
know that through such generosity he
was to augment the number of volumes
contained in his library.
