Newcomers
Welcomed
In Tow n
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Recently Mr..
and Mrs. x, who are good friends
OF my sister "a family Of husband
and wife and two half-grown chill
dren), moved to this town. I had
never met them at my sisters house
because our visits we're never long
enough for her to ask her friends in
like very much to extend some cour-
tesy to these newcomers. The ques-
ton is what to do. We have very linz
tied means and our friends are lit
tie better off, and I believe my sis
ter's friends are too well Off, I'm
afraid. to find us, or our group of
friends, particularly helpful to them
IN becoming established in this town.
But as 1 do not want to be discour-
teous, what would you suggest that l
might do?
Answer-First Of all think it would
be courteous to go to see Mrs. x
and if possible you might invite her
and her husband to small cocktail
tea and invite number of friends
to meet them. If this is not practi-
cal, I would suggest that you ask
them and their children to your Or
dinary everyday supper, or dinner on
Sunday. In other words, make it
family party. In this case, serve as
good a meal as you can, and don't
worry about what you can't do. If
you can't do this either, then merely
invite her to come in for cup Of
tea" alone, or perhaps include your
one or two most intimate friends who
probably know your sister.
daughter graduated from high
school this year and at the time
hoped to be able to give her party,
but was i'll and could not. Since the
class wes small and all of them are
in town this Summer. she would still
like me to give the party Could We
call this a "coming-out" party or
would such party be out OF keep
ing with the simplicity of this small
community? And since her father
and I know many Of the teachers we
would also like to invite them and
some Of our older friends. How may
the invitations be worded?
Answer think the incest thing
to do would be to write Party for
Jane" across your and your hus-
bands double visiting card and then
down in the lower corner vrite the
time and the day. But if you would
like to make the cards seem more
formal then write Miss Jane Jones"
underneath your names and write the
time and day on the upper part Of
the card. wouldn't call the party q
coming -out," but simply small
party for Jane. he fact that you are
inviting people Of all ages would mean
that you are announcing her coming
out

fond OF making jokes at other peo-
pies expense can never take joke
themselves.
nEAR MISS DIX: am = young
man and for more than three
years have been going with a lady
several years Older than myself At
the time I thought I really loved
her, but now I know that I do not
care for her. and that there is no
future for either one OF us. 1 have
tried to break away, but she has
threatened to kill me if 1 do What
would you advise me to do? A. F.
Answer-Break away. anyway. Her
threats are just blum to force you
into marrying her. She probably
hasn't the slightest intention whatever
of doing you any harm.
But II you are afraid Of the lady,
why don't you just fade out of the
picture until she has time to get over
her peeve at you and to realize that
you can't be coerced into marrying
against your will. There are dozens
OF trains that leave the city in which
you live every day Just take one of
them, and leave no forwarding ad-
dress.
The greatest harm that any man
~ ie fo ~
he doesn't love her. because he can't
possibly be q good husband unless
he cares for her. He is bound to be
miserable If forced into marriage
against his will and to take out his
spite on his wife No woman who
loved a man or who had any decent
feeling OF self respect would force
herself on = man.

nEAR DOROTHY DIX: We are two
boys who recently have enlisted
In the service and under military
laws are not eligible for marriage for
six years. We are both in love and
are at a loss to know If it Is fair to
ask our girls to wait for us. We have
not told them what length Of time Is
needed before marriage is possible.
What should We do? H. and j,
Answer-You should certainly tell
the girls that you can't marry for six
years and leave it up to them as to
whether or not they will wait that
long. My earnest advice to all four
Of you is to forget 1t, because In six
years you will have changed COM
pletely and may not want each other.
The girls will be almost old maids,
and you will be looking out for flap
pers and you may have kept them
from making good marriages.
Why not leave the matter open? A
long engagement can be 4 ball and
chain about asmans feet as well a

I love him and he loves me, but is
that going to make me stop minding
his making fun of me? Obviously it
isn't going to stop his teasing. Here
is the way it goes; We may have
been spending a happy evening to-
gether. Then suddenly he will snatch
a chance remark make, misconstrue
it and tell me what said. l deny it,
and we are off, and the more I make
an idiot Of myself by getting mad,
the funnier he thinks it is. His teas
ing will drive me into saying some
thing that I don't mean, which he
will take very seriously and refuse to
him squirm, but I don't want to hurt
him. l do not get any pleasure out Of
seeing that hurt look in his eyes. In
stead, I 60 to great pains not to
wound him, for I know how easily
it is done. Why does he delight in
wounding me? ROSE.
AnsWer-He leases you because
there is something sadistic in his ma
ture that makes him get kick out
Of making people suffer. All teasers
and practical jokers are cruel. They
delight in seeing suffering, and It Is q
pity that they missed their day by not
living in the time of the inquisition.
They would have had perfectly
grand time watching people writhe
on the rack.
THERE are plenty Of people like
= your friend who do not think that
anything is funny unless 1t involves
inflicting pain upon some one. They
lay traps that the unwary stumble into
and bark their shins, and they laugh
themselves sick when they can throw
a banana peeling. so an old man or
woman slips on it and breaks leg. Or
they consider it excruciatingly anus
ing to upset an ink bottle over your
new suit, or make you sit down on q
pie at picnic, when they know that
it takes weeks of saving for you to buy
a new garment. Or they do something
to put you in an embarrassing position
and make you feel like clown. Their
wit consists entirely in saying things
that stab to the heart and that leave
q wound that never ceases to ache IN
ones vanity.
All Of US know men who make their
wives the butt Of all their jokes and
whose funny stories always hinge on
some blunder their wives have made
and which they magnify and dress up
until it makes the wife seem . perfect
fool. None Of us who have heard these
brutes of husbands set table in roar
by holding up their wives As figures
Of fun, to be guffawed at until we
wondered why the poor prosecuted
women didn't retaliate by taking the
carving knife to the husbands who
were 80 brutally exploiting them.
My advice to you is to save your
self lifetime Of misery by refusing
to marry teaser, because If before
marriage he gets his amusement by
batting you, it will be his favorite
sport indeed after marriage, and he
will keep your feelings raw and bleed
ing by his continual tabs at your sensi-
tive spot.

Culinary Triumphs With
Potatoes Possible For
Even Most inexperienced
By SIDNEY SNOW

Fun with potatoes-well, that
may seem to be strange sort Of
sport-but actually, given bag of
potatoes, kitchen stove, plus
few ordinary kitchen ingredients,
man or woman, boy or girl can run
riot and soon, in blushing modesty,
lay out collection Of hand-craft
examples of distinct charm and
exquisite taste and flavor.
Mashed, and boiled a md baked
and creamed and fried potatoes
are all fine in their places, but
add a little imagination and in
terest as extra ingredients, and
a series of culinary triumphs will
result.
To wit, as follows and viz:
If you're serving roast lamb or
veal, about half an hour before
dinner, put into stew pan, two
large tablespoons of butter and a
fine minced onion and simmer until
the onion is brown. To this add
four medium potatoes cut into
dice. Add cup Of hot water.
Season with salt, pepper and pinch
Of ground cloves. Cover the pan
and simmer for half an hour, or
until the potatoes are tender. Turn
into serving dish and sprinkle with
chopped fresh parsley.
AS the Friday fish course is
served, enliven it with a bit of
fresh, sliced cucumber and "sliver"
potatoes. They are made like
this: Peel two or three raw po-
tatoes, do not wash but wipe dry.
Then slice lengthwise into "slivers"
or match shape. Drop into hot
deep fat and cook quickly to a
light, golden brown. Pack into
servings of small round bundles
and surround with strips Of green
pepper or pimentos. Quick and
easy to prepare and grand eating.
It is surprising how popular the
good potato pancake remains in
German restaurants when pot
roast or kindred dishes are served,
but how few people make these
pancakes at home. The task is
simple.
First, mix an egg with half a
cup Of milk. Then work in half

THE GENTLE ART OF CARVING
Carving the Standing Rib Roast

The carver brings out the best
flavor of the meat when he serves
it in appetizing manner. Even
slices, cut across the grain Ito
cut the fibers and prevent stringi-
messy are much more tempting
than a haphazard portion even Of
the most tender meat. AS the
slices are cut, they should be
neatly placed upon the platter,
with the Drowned or best side up.
When there are enough slices for
all, begin serving.
There is economy, too, in good
carving. A roast "goes farther"
when it has been expertly carved.
That which is left on the platter
should be in good order SO that
second helping looks desirable. If
the entire roast is not needed at
one time, take care that the re-
mainder is in good condition for
another meal, with no ragged

cup of flour, salt and pepper.
Crate a cup and a half Of raw
potatoes and add at once to the
mixture. A nice touch is to cut
down a little on the potato and
use a small grated u apple to
make up the quantity.
Using a skillet or griddle and
butter for frying, fry these cakes
about the size as ordinary pam
cakes and serve hot and crisp. Do
not place in covered serving dish
as that will make them soggy.
Next time you are roasting a
chicken, be careful to save all
the fat. Put the fat from the
juice into a cup and set it IN the
refrigerator. Then, a day or two
later, prepare a nice dish of
potatoes as follows:
Take left over boiled potatoes
and cut them into lengthwise slices
about half an inch thick or a little
thinner. Fry these in a skillet.
using half butter and half chicken
fat. Season with pepper and salt,
cooking until golden brown, a nd
then serve with little chopped
parsley.
When baking potatoes, if you
will bake three or four more than
needed, the left over baked potato.
peeled and diced and then fried in
butter and chicken fat provides an
entirely different flavor from any
other type Of potato.
These same fried baked potatoes
mixed with parsley and folded
into an omelette makes the de-
icious Savoy Omelette.
And, in conclusion, here is the
lovely Lord Baltimore potato
straw, a Maryland favorite for
luncheon parties: Mix half a Gun
OF sifted flour, cup Of boiling
water and an ounce of butter. AL
low to cool bit and then stir in
the yoEs of two eggs. Mix this
with the same quantity of boiled
potato pressed through a sieve.
Roll into straws about three inches
long and half an inch in diameter,
roll in flour, dip in egg and bread
crumbs, fry in deep fat and serve
on q napkin.

fragments to dry out and be
wasted.
CARVING THE STANDING RIB
For special occasions, the ends
of the ribs may be decorated with
paper frills. The roast is placed
on the platter with the ribs at the
carver's left. These frills serve
more than an ornamental purpose,
by the way, for when they are
used the carver may hold the
uppermOst rib in his left hand to
steady the roast as he cuts it.
Otherwise he thrusts the fork into
the thick center of the roast to
hold it firm. He cuts very thin
slices across the grain of the meat
until the knife touches the bone.
After several slices have been cut,
he draws the point of the knife
along the bone to separate the
slices from the ribs.

Tempting Spinach Dishes,
