Regarding
Radio Fans
AndViSitOrS
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR Mrs. Post: One time you wrote
~ about respecting our friends and
neighbors' radio rights when we
happen to stop in to see them during
one of the programs they want very
much to listen to. But what about
the neighbors and friends who never
seem to leave their radios for Sec
ond? 1 have stopped in to see friends
repeatedly and always they are listen
ing to some program and have to
sit quietly Cor be considered rude)
and when the program is over 1t IS
| usually time for me to be on my way
again. Is there no such thing as Civ
ing to as well as taking time from
visitors?
Answer-I agree that this is a
difficult matter to adjust. 1 don't
know of any better way to make sure
of your welcome and at the same time
provide for your own enjoymen:
than to telephone these radio en-
thusiasts before going to see them ana
ask at which hours their favorite pro-
grams are to be on for that afternoon
OF evening". f1IIO IIlCI1 81 W SC NlASAAA
at a time in between. So far as 1
personally have observed, must say
that the. shoe has been on the other
foot. At least I have seen music low
ers time and again shutting of their
program they have waited all week
for while a neighbor talks on and on
about nothing whatever. But there
is, of course, much to be said against
a radio necessarily blaring and no one
really listening and every one attempt
ing to be heard above it. However,
this much advice I offer earnestly:
Don't go to see ardent music lovers
when grand opera or great symphonies
are on the air. Don't go to see base
ball or foot ball fans on Saturday
afternoon or hockey fans when the
Sunday evening games are on. Don't
60 to see those who take keen in
terest in politics when leading speak
ers are scheduled. Don't 60 to see
any one at an hour (no matter WHAT
in which they particularly delight
unless you are willing to sit and listen
as attentively as you would were you
dL Tie OpeTd VI dt tAlC SniiiCs SAi eAAS
other hand, you who love the radio
should hang up slate on your front
door announcing the program and
the hour it goes on and how long it
will last. Or if you don't do this.
then courtesy exacts that you shut off
the radio when visitors come.

Dear Mrs. Post: Q) Does one say
good-by to the hostess before or after
putting on ones coat? OF course, I
mean a formal party. (2) At an in
formal dinner, how can hostess
be at her place to tell her guests where
to sit If she goes into the dining room
last, as In courtesy she must?
Answer-O Before. ca 1t is all
right to slip in, as it were, third or
fourth, that is before two or three
who Inger talking. If all 60 in at
once, ahead of her, she tells a few
of them where to sit and others as
she passes them to take her place, and
the last from her place. But usually
when there are more than eight, the
table Is set with place cards.

Maon Faces Golden Opportunity Dinner for Many Guest
Quantity Marketing and
Serving Presents PuzzlingI
Problem to Most Amateurs
Simple, Well-balanced Menu, Featuring
Foods That Properly Blend, Always
Sure to Make "Hit."

One and -one-half pounds OF coffee
and one pint Of coffee cream.
One pound of assorted salted nuts
and one pound Of mints.
If the purchaser is careful in mar
keting she should be able to provide
this list with an expenditure under
$40.
FURTHER quantity buying may be
simplified by keeping the follow
ing in mind:
One and one-half pounds of medium
ground coffee of good grade. one-half
pound of tea and one-half pound OF
cocoa to five quartes Of liquid serves
IS to 80 people generously.
One large can of peas, beans, etc.
will serve about six to seven.
In buying raw meats, as beef, lamb,
veal or pork, etc., count on one-third
pound for each serving. Raw fish,
one-fourth pound.
One 10-pound ham, thinly sliced,
will serve about 80 people. When
buying chicken, turkey or duck to be
roasted one must provide a half
pound for each person. Chicken for
pie or fricaSsee, however, just requires
one-fourth pound per serving.
There are about eight servings to
every quart of ice cream-1O with a
sauce, and medium sized pie should
be cut into eight pieces.
Five pounds of potatoes are gen.
orally enough for Is servings.
A S TO service. 1t is not always
what you serve, but how you
serve it, that makes your dinner party
success. Keep the serving portions
dainty and remember that garnish
ing of foods plays an important role.
1t is surprising what sprig Of mint
or parsley, a dash of paprika or leaf
of lettuce can do-not only to entice
an Indifferent appetite, but to the
general effect Of the table setting.
Keep the appetizer or first course very
small and dainty. If fruit cup Is
served two tablespoons are sufficient
the cup should never be filled to ca
pacity. II soup is served three-fourths
of measuring cup is sufficient. CUn-
less, of course. it is oyster or clam
chowder and is to act as the main
course for a meaD
1t is permissible where there are
a limited number of servants, TO
have the main course arranged on
dinner plates in the service pantry
and serve individually in the tables
d'hote manner. 1t must, however, be
remembered that food that is in
tended to be served hot should be
served that way; and cold dishes,
salads and desserts must never be all
lowed to come to the table wilted or
luke warm! The dessert should be
served individually and a demi-tasse
is in much better taste than the regu-
lar cups.
Whether the affair is to be strictly
formal or informal influences the Sc
lection, preparation and serving Of
the menu to a degree, of course, but
the fundamental rule of having a
well-balanced menu, featuring foods
that blend and serving them at
tractively, should always be con-
Sidered the major factor,

~ LANNING and preparing a din
- ner for a crowd Of 20 or more,
| be it a home or club affair,
i often presents to women an
undertaking almost equivalent to
the problem of the proverbial "old
woman who lived in shoe and had
so many children she didn't know
what to dol" The general impression
that buying in large quantities Is
something only professional house
keeper can do and that only an
elaborate menu and service can be
considered has nipped many planned
dinner party in the bud!
The Washington hostess, however.
can't afford to give way to her impulse
to avoid entertaining-and well she
has realized it!
1t is therefore to the young matron
that we dedicate this column today,
and especially to one, who, to the
amusement of her family and con-
sternation of her cook, came back
from market with one duck to serve a
dozen guests at the first dinner party
she had planned, when she returned
from her honeymoon!
CINCE the marketing appears to be
the most appalling part of the
whole matter to the inexperienced per-
son, We will concentrate on this
point-and to illustrate just how SIM
pie quantity buying can be-suggest
a menu that should be practical as
we'll as interesting, outline an approx
mate marketing list and give a few
serving tips passed on to us by one
who has had many years of experience
in entertaining extensively on a mod
est budget.

Chicken Fricasee or
Prime Roast Of Beef or Turkey With
Dressing
Potato or Rice Croquettes
Fresh Green Peas or String Beans or

Footnotes.

The fact that pu1It-up heels are
ideally suited to the sturdy new styles
in footwear is only one reason for
their growing popularity. Their smooth,
shining surface is practically nick
proof and they seldom break away
from the shoe. Because they are
made of little lifts instead of one solid
piece, they rebound from rough roads
and hard pavements With spring.
Even high-heel addicts can walk COM
fortably on two-inch heels of this type.

Violet perfume sizes suit your needs and
your budget and netO gardenia bouquet light as
Springtin7e and splendid for daytime use.

! THERE is another member of
the violet family that we are
most enthusiastic about 1t Is
| a violet-scented deodorant that is per-
fectly delightful to add a final touch
| of daintiness after the bath. Just
sprinkle few drops in the palm Of
the hand and apply wherever needed.
It suppresses excessive perspiration,
entirely nullifies any unpleasant odors
and may be used as frequently as de-
sired. 1t has lovely violet fragrance.
It is a colorlesS fluid, containing no
acids or corrosive salts. so that it will
not injure either skin or clothing.
This little bottle is positive blessing
to have on the bathroom shelf. Try
it once and you will never be with
out it.
Gardenia is one of the most exquisite
flower fragranceS that we know Of.
Many manufacturers have been tempt
ed to capture its rare perfume and
offer it to you in charming little
facons. Particularly successful at this
has been young woman whose name
appears on the little bottle that have
in mind 1t is the very essence Of
early Spring and you will enjoy the
perfume to the last drop.
X X
A MOTHER well-known maker OF
perfumes presents his gardenia
fragrance in an adorable drum-shaped
box. Inside is a gardenia that you
may wear on your coat lapel, and
fastened to it is small dram-size
facon of the fragrance. This makes
lovely gift.
Still another lover of gardenia
offers his newest creation as a gar
denia bouquet, a little lighter per-
fume especially suited to daytime
use The stem of a cunning little
gardenia boutonniere is tucked under
the neckband of the decanter in
which this perfume appears, and it
might well be tucked in lapel later
on if one is wise in the use Of flowers.
The readiness of gardenia perfume
being what it is, assigns it to the
noble rank of perfumes more espe-
cially intended for evenings glamor-
Gus hours, whereas the gardenia bou-
quet may be worn with compoSure on
any daytime occasion without induc-
ing swooning! It is just as true to
the luscious waxen-petaled flower as
the original gardenia perfume, but
it is a whiff rather than a deep
draught of the intoxicating scent.
1t makes its entry in formal dress
the classic-shaped decanter, hand
etched with blossom spray, in four
ounce and eight ounce sizes at $1.75
and $2.75.

float in the starlight in this heavenly
hue. Easter bonnetS and tea-time
clothes will sing the praise of one
of the most f1attering colors under the
sun &. or the moon. A certain manu-
facturer of toiletries, catching the
spirit Of the true-blue violet in a
beWitching array of violet-kiSSed cos

- is real love-the kind of love
that makes woman willing to pinch
pennies, wear shabby clothes, cook,
scrub and baby-tend for a manor
whether it is just passing fancy for
lad with foot ball shoulders and a
keen line.
Well, daughter, love is a curious NAL
ady and it affects different people so
differently and there are such queer
fluctuations in its temperature that
it Is not surprising that you find 1t
difficult to diagnose your symptoms
and find out what ails you.
Sometimes we think we have it, as
we think we have the flu when we
have only common cold. Other
times we have been fatally stricken
with it without even suspecting it un-
til it is too late for any remedy to save
us. Some men and women are i'm
mune to love. Others catch it every
time they are exposed to romantic
situation. There are authentic in
stances of its victims never getting
over heart attacks, while others re-
cover from them as from a mild spell
Of indigestion.
r 4
60 THERE you are, and 1t Is no Won
- der that when you begin to have
chills and thrills and palpitations you
ask yourself whether what you feel
is real love or just too much propin-
guilty mixed with moonlight and SEN
timental music. You remember that
there was a time ages ago, well, six
months ago. anyway, when you were
sure you had fatal case about Tom,
Dick or Harry and it proved false
alarm. Now you can't abide him and
you shudder as you think how terrible
it would have been If you had married
one of them while still suffering from
the hallucination that he was your
fairy prince. and you couldn't be happy
without him.
1t is particularly hard for girls to
distinguish between real love and the
synthetic variety because they are
Just so sloshing over with sentiment
that they spill it all over the place.
All of their lives they have been busy
weaving gorgeous mantle out of their
fancies and dreams. They clap 1t on
the shoulders of any passing male,
and they befool themselves into think
ing that they are in love with him
when they are really only in love with
love.
How, then, is girl to tell whether
she is absolutely, unalterably, world
without-end IN love with boy? The
answer Is she can't, because the ele-
ments of growth and taste and change
are beyond her power to control. She
may outgrow the boy SO that his
mind and soul are still clods, while
hers are stardust. She may lose her
taste for him as inexplicably as we
come to loathe certain dishes and
amusements of which we once could
not get enough. Or the boy may
change so that there is nothing left

to him on which she can hang af-
fection. There is no other promise
so much beyond our power to keep
as that We make at the altar to love
the one we are marrying until death
do us part.
CTILL and all, there are certain
signs by which a girl can test her
feelings toward a boy and get a pretty
good line on her emotional reactions
toward him. One of the acid tests
she might apply to her ''pash" is
how much of his society she can
stand when he isn't telling her how
beautiful her eyes are; how he would
die II he were parted from her; how
different she is from all other women.
Any girl who can stand a week in
August Of the steady companionship
of a man, and still yearn for more,
need ask no more questions of her
heart. She has found him.
Still another indication of love in
a girl is whether it makes her yawn
to listen to him discourse about him.
self, or whether she regards his per-
sonal "reminiscences of what the fel-
lows said in the Office and how he
sold a bill Of goods, as more thrillingly
interesting than any novel or play.
If Johnny makes you shed tears of
boredom when he tells about his new
car and how many miles he makes
on gallon Of gasoline, pass him up.
You haven't got this thing called love.
A MOTHER test of the state of YOUR
affections is whether you would
rather step out with him of an evening
or stay at home. As long as a boy
Is just date, a girl wants him to
pay for her time and attention by
taking her places and doing things,
but when she begins to feel that she
will die if he doesn't pop the question
she wants to sequest with him to
some quiet spot where the very atmos-
phere is a come-on.
Another test of love a girl may
apply to herself Is the financial one.
Has she become money conscious?
Does she try to save his pocketbook?
Does she suggest going to cheap places
of amusement instead of expensive
ones? If she does, it is because she
has begun to think of his pay envelop
as her own.
If girl discovers all of these symp-
toms Of love in herself and If, in addi-
tion, she suddenly goes domestic, and
particularly If she begins to worry
over some husky six-footer being run
over by an automobile on the street,
she is in love and she can go on
with the hope chest.

he was telephoning an intended

the Federal Bureau Of Investigation
removed the hapless captive. Milton
Goddard. to New Jersey for trial.
Goddard, an ex-convict, was ar

last Wednesday by F. B. I. agents.
who said he readily confessed he had
made several threatening phone calls
10 his brother-in-law, Louis Blick,
ct Elizabeth, N. j.
Traced to Hotel Through Call.
According to the agents, Goldfarb
had been traced to the hotel through
an earlier phone call that Gay to
his brother-in-law. Finding the call
had been made from a certain phone
booth, the agents planted them
selves in the lobby to await posi-
bic second call by their man.
Goldfarb returned to the booth
several hours later. One of the agents
moved over close to the booth and
heard Goldfarb put In long dis
tance call to Blick.
Il want that money and want
It quick" the agent says he heard
Goddard telling Blick.
After hearing some more OF the
conversation, the agent stepped to
the door of the booth and started
to tap Goddard on the back. He
didn't need to. however, as Goddard
suddenly turned and saw the bright
gold badge which the agent was dis
playing in his hand.
Reads Badge Closely.
Goldfarb started. took a closer look
at the wording on the badge and
then, according to the agents. turned
back to the phone and said:
Never mind about that money,
Forget it The Department Of Justice
has got mel"
With that succinct comment, Gold
farb hung up the receiver, smiled
sheepishly at the agents who sur
rounded him and complacently went
along with them.

Goldfarb waived eXtradition. Ar
