Few Dining
Room and
Table Rules
Lace Table Cover at
Informal Dinner
Permissible.
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST-I am teacher
Of home economics and recently
one Of my students called attention
TO the fact that one does not eat the
slice Of tomato or the radish or what
ever may be used to garnish platter.
We would like to have your opinion.
Answer-You may help yourself to
whatever Is your portion of the dish
proffered, even to the decoration, If it
is edible. Most people would not con-
slider a trimming made of raw beet
or turnip edible, but II you like one
of these vegetables, there Is no reason
in the world why you should not eat
even such garnishing If you want to.

ner proper table covering?
Answer-Yes, entirely so, II 1t is
becoming to your room and to the
things with which you set your table.

DEAR MRS. PosT-Please tell us
the proper way to eat jelly or
jam?
Answer-A small amount of jelly
Is put on a piece of meat, already
speared with a fork, and eaten. Jelly
or jam on bread and butter is spread
on the bread with butter knife and
eaten in the fingers.
DEAR MRS. POST-When fish is
- served at breakfast, are the me-
dium-sized knives used for eating
breakfast proper, or should I set the
table with the fish knives and forks?
Answer-Usually the regular break
fast knife and fork are used. but If
you are having small bony fish and
your fish knives are more practical,
then by all means use them.
NEAR MRS. POST-An acquaint-
ance of mine thinks it improper
to continue eating while being served
with any part of her meal. and every
time the waitress approaches. whether
IL u Will WdUci VI CoAcc VI Ho HldtteI
what, she stops eating entirely and
does not eat again until the waitress
has left her place. Isn't this silly?
Answer-You eat exactly the same
except when actually helping your
self. AS you take your portion from
the dish and put it on your plate, you
stop chewing for that moment. but
this does not mean that your mouth
need be empty.

ggesons for Preparing and Serving the Spos of the Chase
Dorothy Dix Says
Mothers May Influence, but Not Domi-
nate, Children's Careers.

domestic turn Of mind, or Julia TO
prepare herself to be teacher or a
librarian because she Is a born stu
dent, or John to go into something in
which his mechanical talents will
have play. or Tom to be a salesman
because he has the gift OF personality.
1t Is amazing how few parents are
able to do this, and how many fathers
and mothers can be with a child 20
years and never even notice whether it
is deft with its fingers or awkward:
whether 1t is good at figures or bad;
whether 1t makes good trade Of its
Jacxknlfe or gets cheated. In the gen.
erality OF cases, unless child has some
overwhelming talent that knocks his
parents over. they apparently never
notice its individual traits of character.
T WOULD be all to the good if the
parents followed the child's lead in
choosing its career for it. but the
trouble comes when they want to make
the child what they want him to be
instead of what nature intended him
TO be. Many man is a failure in life
because his father forced him to be
doctor or lawyer or a merchant when
he wanted to be a farmer or a me-
chanic or sailor. Many a girls life
is made burden to her by her mother
trying to make society girl out of
her, or a musician or writer, when
her gifts were for something entirely
different. And she was miserable try
ing to do what she couldn't do, but
that mother was determined she
should do.
OF course, when mothers arrogate
to themselves the right to decide their
daughters lives for them they do it
with the best of motives. They really
believe that they possess supernatural
wisdom and that mother always
knows best" but this is not true.
Mother doesn't always know best, be-
cause she isn't the girl and can't enter
into her thoughts and desires. She is
different personality and what might
suit her may not suit daughter at all
There are no more disastrous careers
than the ones mothers wished on their
daughters, and no more unhappy mar
riages than the ones in which mothers
picked out the husbands. For in the
end children have to choose their own
way of life, and all that mother can
do is to stand on the sidelines and
cheer them on.

The Proper
Foundation
For Makeup
Insures Smoothness
and Lasting
Finish.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE builder who concentrates on
the foundation Is bound to have
a stronger structure. The woman
who paves the way for makeup is
bound to achieve a lovelier effect.
Show me the woman whose makeup
makes the most of her beauty and I
am ready to wager that she achieves
the effect by taking the necessary
time and trouble, If you can call it
trouble. The woman who smears her
rouge on swiftly and powders haphaz-
ardly probably looks badly turned out.
The woman who has and takes more
time, sits at her dressing table, leis-
urely applies her foundation, then
blends her rouge carefully, powders
generously and brushes of the excess.
then skillfully outlines her lips and
blends again may look less "made-up."
but infinitely more beautiful. A beau
tiful, blended and subtle, instead Of
startling effect Is achieved.
A good makeup foundation Is a
worthwhile investment. 1t paves the
way for lovelier finish because it
gives makeup a smoother surface to
work on. 1t may temporarily conceal
little blemishes (although makeup
should never be used for the chief
purpose Of covering up blemishes, but
one should get right at the cause and
correct it,. 1t seems to increase the
clinging qualities of rouge and pow
der. It keeps dust from grinding its
way into the pores. Powder may 60
on in patches on an oily skin. or flake
on on a dry skin. But over the proper
foundation 1t usually appears smooth
and even.
The proper choice of a makeup
foundation is very important. Be-
cause If the foundation should make
the skin look more oily or should tend
to dry an already dry skin it would
defeat its own purpose. II the skin
Is oily a vanishing type cream may
be used or a liquid foundation.
think the latter is preferable. For the
dry skin creamy foundation or semi
liquid with some cream or oil in it is
desired. 1t gives the skin a humid
slightly oily appearance instead Of
harsh, dry look.
Proper application is as important
as choice. Many women make the
mistake Of using their foundation too
generously. Follow the directions on
the label and If they read "use SPAR
ingly," by all means do 50. Some
foundations require less than a thim-
bleful for entire face and neck. Give
the manufacturer of the preparation
the benefit Of the doubt. Follow his
advice, which is being handed down
to you only after very thorough ex-
perimentation.

Front piece and shoulder yoke is cut

WITH Thanksgiving, the first of the
seasons festive holidays, just
around the corner. it's high time we
were planning and stocking up deli
cacies that are traditionally listed for
impending holiday menus!
HAVE you put in your order for
mincemeat? The homemade mince-
meat we wrote about last year, and
which proved to be so popular, is
available again. The woman who
makes 1t has catered for many years
to patrons who order and recorder.
Her version of the traditional Thanks
giving treat has everything in it that
it should have and little more be-
sides! Along with the usual currants,
raisins, nuts, meats and fruit is a
generous amount Of homemade straw
berry jam. which gives just the right
tang to the other ingredients. One
of the nice features about the meat,
too, is that If kept in dark cool
place it will keep indefinitely. This
makes it possible for you to order a
larger quantity at time to use when
necessary. If you are going to be too
busy, though, to make your own pies,
you may have them made to order for
you by the same person who makes
the filling. (Orders should be placed
well in advance)
HOMEMADE plum pudding with
= hard sauce has its place on the
menu, too, and we happen to know of
a person who makes this treat by a
genuine old-fashioned recipe. Tasty
hard sauce comes with each order.
Fruit cake, too, dark and white, may
be ordered at the same place.
And don't forget about that genuine
English plum pudding that comes to
some of our local speciality shops all
the way from England 1t made quite
a hit last year. 1t is packed in color
full crooks, covered, which need only
to be placed in the steamer to allow
the contents to heat.
Remember, too. that cranberry
sauce, both homemade and in cans, is
also available. Busy kitchenette
housekeepers need not be deprived OF
this holiday relish because Of lack OF
time or space in which to prepare 1t.

~ EAR MISS DIX: believe that
parents should absolutely
guide their children In the
- choice of career and am
adamant in my decision that nothing
shall interfere with my own plans for
my daughter, to whom I have given
the best Of care and upbringing. Very
few children really know what they
want to do. For instance, my daugh-
ter at the age Of 16 aspired to the
stage because her best friend wanted
to be an actress. Then later another
friend enthused her about being an
artist. Still another wanted her to
be reporter. Another a nurse. And
each one in turn had a temporary
influence upon her So who Is better
suited to choose career for a child
than the mother who knows her
child's every failing, every good point,
or the child herself, who hardly under
stands her own needs?
A READER.
Answer: A mother has a right to
influence her child, but not to domi-
nate her. She has right to guide
her child into the path she is best
f1tted to follow. but she has no right
to force the child into 1t against her
strong disinclination. Every child has
right to its own life and to live it
IN its own way, provided it does no
harm to any one else, and no mother
has the right to take this away from it
and make it conform to her pattern.
FULLY agree with you that parents
should help their children to de-
eide on their careers and that they
are, or at least they should be, better
fitted than any one else to steer them
in the right directions because they
nave had the children unde. obser-
vation ever since their birth and
should know in what directions their
bents lie.
1t Is quite true that when most
boys and girls have to decide on their
life work they are utterly bewildered
and have no idea OF what they are
f1tted for. They are too young and
ignorant to be able to form any esti-
mate of their own capabilities. or even
their own likes and dislikes. It is
then that the parents should lie able,
out Of their lifelong study of their
children. to advise Mary to take up
domestic science because she is of a

MIR. WARBURG'S ADVICE"

Granted that Coy. Ali M Landon's speech at Portland, Maine hastily improvised. there was small for allowing him to get quite far out a limb as his accusation that President Roosevelt "risked the peace of the world by his refusal to operate" at the World Economic Conference in Lon don in the summer of 1883. This one occasion of attention to his horde of advisers would have saved the Presidential candidate from appearing even to his supporters, woefully misinformed.
 It not difficult to determine by whom the Republican Presidential asprant grossly inn posed upon in this instance. For example there is young MT. James Warburg of the great international banking family of that name, who has been out to Topeka On the strength of having been one of a szable group of detail who accompanied the American delegation to the London conference MT. Warburg subsequently, described financial adviser to President Roosevelt and full page ad- vertsements of his serial articles and two books per haps inadvertently mentioned that the first order from the Republican National Committee was fol tributed millions of them One of these called "Hell-Bent for Election The other bore the dis tinguished title of Still Hell-Bent" which young MT.
