BY EMILY POST.
DEAR Mrs. Post: Is it proper to
stand ice tea glasses on the ia
blecloth without any plate between?
In an answer you printed to reader
recently, I felt that you considered
it proper, as you wrote that there
was little one could do with an ice
tea spoon but leave it in the ice tea
glass.
Answer: I never meant that ice tea
tumblers or any other tumblers should
stand on the bare table or tablecloth
and make wet rings! I took IL for
granted that the tumblers would
stand in small glass coasters.

Dear Mrs. Post: When passing a
plate down the table to the host to
have a second serving put on it, is
it considered improper to remove the
knife and fork and hold them until
the plate is returned? I have seen
some very beautiful dishes broken by
implements falling over the side OF a
plate which was being passed down
the table.
Answer: Properly you put the i'm
plements on the plate carefully. with
handles we'll inside the edge of the
rim to insure their security, out If
this does not seem safe enough for
you, then place them across your but
ter plate.

Dear Mrs. Post: I would like to
give a bridge party in the morning
and serve a breakfast afterwards. Will
you please suggest suitable hours and
suitable menu?
Answer: If you are going to have
breakfast, invite people for 1890 and
have breakfast at 1890 and make
it a real breakfast You might have
melon first and then scrambled eggs
and sausages Cor better still, fried
chicken and corn fritters), waff1es
and coffee.

beetle. Why they are called buffalo
moths, I don't know-maybe because
of their destructive habits, and the
fact that the larvae are rough and
furry. There are six varieties of car
pet beetles, but only four of them have
proved to be serious housepests in
America These are the common car
pet beetle, the black carpet beetle, the
varied carpet beetle and the furniture
carpet beetle. OF the four, the first
and last species so closely resemble
one another that only microscope
will show the difference. The result
Of their activity is also about the same.
"A LII of them pass through life cycles

larva, pupa and adult beetle. These
beetles are broadly oval, about three
sixteenth of an inch long, and black.
However, they are covered with minute
scales which form marbled color de-

Many Sons Are Prone to Regard Fathers
as No More Than Cash Registers.

trips that he dreams about but never
takes because he puts them into party
frocks for the girls; the old overcoat
that he wears, two-three-five years
because the boys have to have the kind
of sweaters that all the other boys
are wearing. You will never know all
that father gives up for his children
until you are a father and have chill
dren Of your own.
So try to get acquainted with your
father, Bob. Try to see him in some
other light than as cash register.
Try to see him as human man and
one of the unsung heroes Of the world.
Father would poop-pooh that idea. He
doesn't pose. He is just plain man
who has done his duty as he saw it
without ostentation, but when you are
older you will know that the man who
does that is about as fine as they
come.
OF COURSE, having that sheepskin
hanging over your dresser makes
you feel superior to father who got
his education in the University Of
Hard Knocks, but you will find out
that father has read and thought and
observed and that he is about the
most intelligent man you have. ever
talked to. You will find out that he
sees through things that befuddle you;
that his judgment is shrewd and
clear, and that he is admired and re-
spected and looked up to by other men.
And you will find that his scraggy
signature on the business end of a
check will get more money out OF the
bank in a minute than your copy
plate handwriting will do in 20 years.
Try to sell yourself to father as
you would to prospective customer
on whom you hoped to unload a block
of bonds. He'll bite. For this is what
he has been praying for ever since the
day you put on your first pants. A
son who would pal up with him. A
son who would repay him for all he
had cost by showing him some real
affection and gratitude. A son who
would perhaps go in business with him
or study his profession and carry on
the old firm when he was gone. But
don't patronize father. Don't high
hat him. Don't call all of the methods
by which he has made his business
success old fogey. Don't tell him that
you will take hold of his business and
reorganize it. Walk humbly. And re-
member that no other aff1iction on
earth is so hard to bear as superior
child. DOROTHY DIX.

Regal lily bulbs are now for
sale. They should be planted

Lemon slices cut thin and
sprinkled with chopped parsley,
served alternately with the plain
lemon slice, add much to the
attractiveness of q fish salad.
Stains left by water dripping
from an umbrella onto an oak
floor may be removed by bleach
ing with oxalic acid. Dissolve
one tablespoon of oxalic acid
crystals in one pint of hot wa
ter. Apply to wood, but do not
allow 1t to stand too long, or it
may make spot too light.
If over-draperies darken your
rooms have poles extend far
enough outside of window cas-
ings to hang draperies on. When
windows are small draperies
hung in this way make windows
look much larger and at the
same time permit more light to
enter rooms.
When painting, keep can in an
old saucer. If paint drips from
can, it will then drop on saucer.
A tablespoon of vinegar added
to each pint of water in which
beets are boiled will preserve their
color.

~ EAR DOROTHY DIX have
Just read your suggestion to
the sweet girl graduate as to
- her relationship with her
family. Haven't you something to say
along the same lines to the not-so-
sweet boy graduate? I, personally.
will value highly any advice along
that line. r. B. B.
Answer-Well, Bob, the thing that
would like to say to you and all the
other college boys who have recently
returned home with their diplomas is:
Meet the old man. Perhaps you
think this introduction Is unneces-
sary. but not so. No other two men
in the world are such utter strangers
to each other as the average father
and his grown-up son. True, they
know each other by sight. Son, at
least, is familiar with fathers sigma
ture on a check, but father hasn't had
much opportunity to recognize sons
handwriting. And that's about ALL
They know no more of what each
thinks and feels, what ambitions and
longings stir each others breasts than
if they had never met. They don't
even speak the same language.
60 SAY, try to get acquainted with
your father. Make a determined
effort to break down the barrier be-
tween you. Maybe 1t is his fault it is
there and he made a mistake by not
establishing his friendship with you
while you were still in the cradle, but
in those days he was working himself
half to death to get his business on
its feet so that he would have some
security to give you and be able to
send you of to college and give you
good clothes and sport cars and the
luxuries that make life SO pleasant.
He would come home at night dog
tired and with all the problems he was
facing demanding every bit Of thought
he could give them, so there wasn't
much time for playing with babies.
Besides, your mother had always put
you to bed and didn't want you
walked up.
IT WASN'T that your father didn't
love you. 1t was only that he said
it with work instead of words. You
will never know the sacrifices a father
makes for his children-the long years
of toll to lay up something for the fu-
ture, to carry the insurance that will
keep them safe if he should die; the
hot Summers when he swelters in an
Office that the children may go to
camps or the seashore; the fishing

~ ENTERTAINING at teatime in

Summer calls for a careful Sc

be tempting to look at-just as dainty
as can be-and not too rich for hot

cred some Summer pastry creations
that are wonderfully light and feath-

ideal dessert sweets.
THOSE delectable almond paste
candies that are beloved in Eu-
ropean countries, especially France
and Germany, are becoming popular
in Washington. Life-like miniature
pears, plums, apples, cherries, peaches,
bananas-in fact, anything you may
wish (even replicas of Irish potatoes
complete to the eyes, Sprinkled with
cinnamon to make them potato color
and sandy looking)-are cleverly
fashioned, colored and garnished
with stems and leaves. They are
sold by the pound. If you are look

nothing more desirable. The tiny

look exactly like doughnuts, only they
are made with French egg pastry,
which is pressed out of pastry tube
into a doughnut shape. The tube
leaves a shallow ridge on the dough.
They are fried in fat and dipped in
boiled sugar icing. During the cook

like biting into an airy cream puff.
