THIS seems to be my week to
air my grievances. AS my
young daughter says, I am about
to start screaming like an eagle"
about something that Is very
prevalent wrong and that Is
children's table manners.
Why do so many parents seem
to think that table etiquette is
something that just happens, like
Topsy's growing up? A neat,
clean and quiet child is not only
pleasure to behold, but a glowing
tribute to the mother that has
put so much time and effort into
his upbringing. There is no more
obvious barometer of the atmos-
phere of a home than the child
which comes from it.
The first fundamental in table
etiquette for young children is to
take small mouthfuls, keep the
mouth shut while chewing and to
eat slowly and carefully. There
Is nothing cute" about the little
savage that comes dirty and dis
heveled to the table and starts
wolfing his food before the rest
of the family is served. I am hav-
ing several daily arguments with
my three-year-old on the subject
of waiting until his father and I
start eating before he starts. I
can not decide whether the watch
full gaze that he fastens on my
soup spoon is worse than his old
habit of plunging into the meal
before we had started. 1 feel
rather like the starter" of a
race, but I think he is beginning
to grasp the idea that the table
is just another place where he
has to show consideration for
others.
1 IY mother and l have had
M few discussions on the
question Of allowing very young
children to come to the table for

diversion at any social gathering.
Many amateur magicians spe-
cialize in "card magic" and can
keep an audience mystified and
entertained for an entire eve-
ming using only a borrowed pack
of cards to work with.
Today I am going to teach you
THE Mystery of the Rising
Card"
There are many ways of doing
the famous rising card trick, but
most of them are very difficult
and suited only for the stage.
The method / will show you can

oLt fear of detection. I have used
this trick for years in performing
for clubs, parties and even on the
stage. The secret is simple, as is
the secret of all magic tricks, but
YOU will find that with a little
practice you will be able to amaze
your friends.
Card Rises From Pack
EFFECT: The magician allows
a card to be freely selected from
the pack. After everyone but the
magician has seen the card, it is
put back into the deck. Holding
the cards outstretched in his left
hand, the magician asks the au-
dience: "How would you like to
have the card appear, fast or
Slow" If the answer is East"
he turns to the person who Sc
lected the card and asks him to
"name the card" Say the answer

from the middle of the ham. She
rubs it with dry mustard and
sticks it full of cloves. She then
pours the juice of can of pine
apple over 1t and bakes 1t for 2
or 21a hours in slow oven.
About As minutes before the ham
is cooked, she puts the slices
of pineapple in the pan with the
meat and bakes them. She serves
the ham on a platter with the
pineapple rings about 1t. The
baked pineapple makes q second
vegetable unnecessary and it Is
prepared without trouble.
- AIMED peaches may be
~ used instead of the pine
apple. The juice of either Of these
fruits adds a piquant flavor to the
ham that Is a bit different and
consequently very much relished.
The chocolate mousse may
sound far from simple, but
frozen dessert Is not difficult be-
cause it can be prepared ahead
Of time and then forgotten until
time to serve.
Let me give you another meat
recipe around which this woman
builds company meal. This is
one Of her favorite luncheon
dishes.
cREAMED sWEETsREADs
AND CHICKEN
The sweetbreads are prepared
for cooking. Always remove
sweetbreads from the paper as
soon as they are received from
the market. Plunge them into
cold water at once and allow to
stand for an hour. Then cook
slowly for 20 minutes in salted
water to which a tablespoon Of
lemon juice has been added.
Drain, again plunge in cold
water - this keeps them white
and firm. Sweetbreads should al
ways be parboiled in this manner
for later preparation. The breast
Of chicken that has been stewed
Is cut in dice, as are the sweet
breads. A medium white sauce Il
made by thickening III cups o,
milk with 8 tablespoons Of fiour
stirred into 8 tablespoons oi
butter. One-fourth cup Of grated
cheese IL melted In the sauce
which II then poured over the
diced chicken and sweetbreads
The whole Is then put in a baking
dish and baked in a moderate
oven until the top Is a delicate
golden brown. A more delicious
company luncheon dish than this
is hard to imagine. A half cup OF
sliced mushrooms, either canned
or fresh, may be added to the
sauce IL desired.
French fried potatoes, a vege'
table salad, and a simple dessert
completes the luncheon. It ma,
all be prepared well ahead of time
and a calm, unruffled hostess
greets guests who are assured Of
a good time because the thought
of a meal does not hang like q

Foreign Lending
lNeM York Tiranacl

tfs lNew York Times)
 In his address last week at Pittsburg President Roosevelt sharply criticized the foreign lending which vas practiced large scale by American investors during the years before the depression. Billions of dollars sent abroad, he said and the money so loaned used flor increasing foreign for building foreign factories to compete with us for building foreign model dwellings, swimming pools and slaughter houses for giving employment to the foreign unemployed-for foreign boon n-doggling if you will . To this he added:
 Those dollars were just good American money. just as hard-earned, just much the reward of thrift the dollars we have spent at home giving work to the unemployed Most of those dollars sent abroad gone for good"
 This description of the method and result e. foreign lending is incomplete and inaccurate in two lespects. In the first place. while our loans were undoubtedly used for armaments and some for
 foreign boon- n-doggling" many others devotei to the development of useful and sef-supportng tcrprises. In the second place it is not fact that
 most of the dollars sent abroad gone for good. Full service has been maintained during the depres- sion GA per cent of the dollar bonds of foreign gov ernments; partial service 21 per cent and only l5 per cent has payment been completely suspended For the dollar bonds of political subdivisions pri vate corporations, the record is not quite good but it is worth while to remember in this connection that defaults have occurred frequently in the of bonds of domestic municipalities and corporations. It must be borne in mind, in addition that the fact that foreign bond is in default does not necessarily mean that interest it may not be resumed as business improves abroad that the entire principal of the bond has been lost.
 There is nothing inherently evil or mistaken in the practice of foreign lending. Rightly managed il is of value to both borrower aender It facilitates the orderly development of and backward coun-
 tries It furnishes an outlet for the surplus funds ot creditor nations It creates markets for the lender by increasing the ability of the borrower to buy his goods. What wrong with the process developed in this country during the depression decade, the fact that individual loans were ire quently unwisey made and the further fact that the United States, playing role of creditor in the postwar world failed to lower its tariffs order to facilitate repayment On this last score MT Roose- welt could bring strong indictment against the policy of successive Republican Administrations
