French Sofas Vary

French sofas for all tastes
abound these days. Fol those
who like the intimacy of a tiny
love-seat, there's the very pieces
with luscious curves and pale
walnut framework. Some may
prefer the restraint of a French
Provincial sofa with delicately
grooved wood and modified
lines. Others may crave 9
"grande dame lounge in coral
velvet, its dark walnut base
deeply carved in roses; or a fine
Louis sofa with square back,
tapering sides and simple frame
of waXed walnut.

Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beecknlan

By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please tell me the
correct method of waiting on
the table?
/. Do you serve from the right
or left?
2. From what side are the
dishes removed?
8. What should be removed
from the table after each course?
@.
/. It is the usual custom for
the waitress to pass dishes at
the left of the guest.
2. Dishes are removed from
the right. Beverages are served
at the right, since the glasses
are on the right of the plate.
8. After each course, the wait
reSs should remove the details
that have to do with the service
of that course. If a service plate
is used, it is allowed to remain
on the table until the waitress
changes it for the dinner plate,
the heated plate set for the roast
course. With the right hand,
she takes up the service plate
and with her left hand she
places the dinner plate in its
stead. It is the rule of the we'll
waited-on-table that the guest
should always have a plate be-
fore him until the table is
crumbed for the dessert course.
SERVICE PLATE USED
The plates for the first course,
the courses up to the roast, are
placed on this service plate .
the plate for the canape or food
cocktail, or whatever is served
first, the first course. the plate
for the soup or the plate-and-cup
for the soup, the fish or entree
plate. Then the change to the
dinner plate.
The salad plate is placed on
the table with no under-plate.
Before any course is placed,
the silver not used in the pre-
ceding course should be removed
For instance. suppose that, for
the canape or fish course, you
have placed both knife and fork,
and suppose that the guest has
used only a fork then the
knife that has been placed is re-
moved before the next course
is passed.
CRUMB TABLE
After the salad course, the
table is crumbed, and made
ready for the dessert course.
That is, the salts and peppers
are removed. the bread and but
ter spreader are removed, and
all remaining place-Silver is
taken off.
Usually the dessert service
consists Of the dessert plate.
with the finger bowl on it, and
on the right of the finger bowl
the dessert spoon and on the
left the dessert fork. The guest
removes the finger bowl with
the dolly, if one is placed under
the fin ,er bowl to the left of the
plate. and a bit up from the
plate. He also places the spoon
at the right of the plate, and the
fork on the left of the plate.
Then the plate is ready for the
dessert.
WHEN FRUIT FOLLOWS
If fruit is to be served after
the dessert course. the dessert
plate is brought in without the
fingerbowl just the dessert
plate with the double silver serv-
ice of the dessert spoon and the
dessert fork.
For the fruit course the Serv.
ice is the fruit plate (of the size
Of the dessert plate) with the
finger bowl on it, and on the
right of the fruit knife and on
the left the fruit fork. The
guest lifts the finger bowl to the
table on the left Of the plate e..
places the fruit knife on the
right and the fruit fork on the
left. And then the plate is
ready feg the passing of the
saA1it.

advice
TO

By Beatrice Fairfax

COMEONE asked me the other
~ day what was the cause of the
greatest number Of tragedies in
married life and among engaged
couples. The answer popped out
without a moments hesitation
ga bling and drunkenness.
Heavy drinking is something
durable, because nature takes Q
hand and rings the bell on the
chronic imbiber with stomach
ulcers, hyper-acidity and even
cancer.
WHAT PRICE?
Before the bell Is actually
rung, the heavy drinker may
stop and ask himself if the price
he's paying is worthwhile to any
one but the undertaken.
But nature hands out no such
warnings to the gambler. He
loses, and loses again trying to
retrieve what he. lost originally.
It's a vicious circle from which
few have the power to escape.
In these days Of so-called
feminine emancipation, women
make a crony Of chance the
same as men-unfortunately not
only women who can afford to
lose but women who require
every penny of their scant wages
to live. The following letter 10
typical of many have received:
DESERTED WITH BABY
Dear Miss Fairfax:
my husband deserted me,
leaving me with an 18-month'
old baby. I went through high
school, but felt l knew it all,
and didn't specialize in any
thing. wouldn't take a business
course, as I expected to marry
and live happily ever after
"Well, did marry, but wasn't
happy, even during the honey
moon, as my husband was an
inveterate gambler.
after he left me, I thought
I might have little luck, SO
I borrowed some money, took
the few dollars 1 had been able
to save from my wages as Q
waitress and put it on a horse
race.
my horse came in last. And
I'm being dunned for the money
I borrowed, the woman who 10
boarding my little son and mo
threatens to turn us out, if I
don't pay my room rent and the
baby's board.
IT have sold everything sale
able, even to my wedding ring,
and I don't know which way to
turn next. Can you give me any
suggestions?
"DISTRAUGHT."
You seemed to be getting
along on your wages til you
tried to beat the game by
gambling. Why not tell your
landlady if she turns you out
now, she's likely to lose back
payments on the rent. But II
she'll trust you, you'll pay so
much a week until your account
is squared. Then offer a dol
lar a week to the person who
loaned you the money. Anyone
who lends money to girl to
bet on a horse race is certainly
not looking for gilt-edge Sc
curity.
GET ADVICE
If your landlady is inhuman
enough to put you out, go to
the YW.C.A., or some kindred
organization, and let them sd'
wise you. In the city from
which you write, there are sew
eral good nursery schools where
a wage-earning mother may
put her baby during the day
Try one of these if you can't
manage to find someone who
will care for the baby while you
work. can't imagine any land
lady, who would threaten to
put a mother and child out be-
cause the mother is a little be-
hind with her rent, would be o
good caretaker for an infant.
And do, please, let this be Q
warning to you. Don't blow in
your hard-earned wages on
horse races or any hing else, in
the gambling line. It's abso-
lutely impossible to beat that
game.

Archibald has slowed down a bit,

there is every reason to doubt that
