 ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

Q. What is suitable to serve at a party for young children?
 A. One should serve simple foods such as chicken sandwiches vegetables, eggs, pudding and fruit with milk as the drink, and for dessert nothing takes the place with children of ice cream and cake. -
 Q. Which is preferable, T pre- sume" or T suppose?"
 A. T suppose is preferable. T presume sounds little too formal The more simple the expression the better it is.
 Q. Is it all right for one to re- main for an hour when making a formal call?
 A. No; one should not remain longer than twenty minutes.

She waited for a while in a smallish room for her audience with the first lady. As she was preparing to leave, Mrs. roosevelt suggested that she might like to make 8 tour of the White House, and sent for a secretary to show her around. The first room the fellow took her to was the small reception room. This" he said, is where the unimportant people wait"

IT IS foregone conclusion among
L women of varied activities that
knitted clothes are the logical sort
to wear at lay or at work. This
conviction in regard to the prac-
teal wearability of things knitted
has come about from actual ex-
perience, and not from mere the
DRY. And so the clicking of nee
dies goes merrily on, more so than
ever this season.
There is added inspiration, too, in
the knowledge that knit or crochet
yarns have been brought to such
high state of perfection through
modern processing that one is
cheered with the assurance of de-
pendable instability both as to
shrinkage and to color fastness.
Thus a new confidence has been
created in the minds of the prac-
teal minded to the extent that
knitted apparel has come to be
recognized as staple wear ather
than in the category of feeting
moods or fads.
AS to the knitted items pictured
they are new and they are practi-
cal, just such as you will appre-
ciate wearing during weekend and
vacation hours. The suntan halter
as shown in the upper left of the
group will give you all the ex-
posture and freedom you need in
| beach and summer sports clothes.
You can combine it with knitted
bathing trunks or gabardine shorts
or the popular culotte costume, or
wear it with linen skirt.
Out in the garden on warm
summer day with gay flowers
about and skies that are blue it
will be the frivolous dainty type of

WOMEN ADD COLOR;
DON GAY GALLUSES

Not satisfied with copying mems
suits, both as to material and styl-
ing, the women are now wearing
suspenders. They have discovered
that galluses not only furnish an
added chance to introduce color
and swank to the accessory theme,
but these dashing skirt "holder-
uppers" are exceedingly practical.
In the narrow width sizes, chosen
to form a daring contrast with the
suit and blouse, suspenders pre-
sent a smart appearance as they
flash out from behind an unbut-
toned jacket.
The whole idea, designers claim,
is not just another fashion whim
but springs directly out of style re-
quirements set by the present
trends in women's apparel; man.

to crochet you can make it in q
jiffy. 1t is cool because it is lacy.
Choose yellow for the color of the
mercerized crochet cotton so that
it will match the sunshine of a
perfect summer day. This cum
ming model has practically no
sleeves and is held together by
drawstring about the neckline in
peasant fashion.
To the left below sheer blouse
is shown knitted of mercerized
crochet cotton 1t is the sort that
will add the feminine touch to your
mannishly tailored suit or will car
ry through smartly with your sum
mer linen skirts. The rows and
rows of tiny ruffles at each side
above the waistline is something
new. You will like this styling i'm
mensely and so will your friends
for it is out of the ordinary. The
sleeves pulled just above the ell
bow are also a smart and very
new feature The neck is high,
giving that close-to-the-throat line
which fashion DEGREES this season.
This high neck effect fills the open
ing of a classic lapeled suit jack
ct to perfect satisfaction.
Cool and lovely in its dainty col
oring is the dress pictured to the
right. The majority of dresses are
knitted but this one is crocheted of
soft washable knit-cro-sheen. The
work goes rapidly as the stitch is
very open lacy one. A dress of
this type should go into every
trunk that is vacation bound, for it
packs, washes and wears beauti-
fully. The soft rolled collar and
the cord and tassel fastenings are
style details that give "class" that
is recognized at a glance.
Of course you have taken note of
the crownless garden hats which
the girls in the sweaters are wear
ing. You can make one yourself
and at trifing cost-just one of
those big farmer straw hats with
the crown cut out and the brim
slashed up the back, rounding the
corners. Finish all edges with a
wide bias-cut binding of gay ging-
ham and add ties of the same.

Navy-and-white comes next, and

Most of the newest suits have a

left the tummy bare to the sun 5
