TOO0 manners - By ME

would 1t be proper to write to
a boy friend, to whom you write
occasionally, telling him when you

Since your hostess will rise to
receive each guest, as she or he ar
riveS, you also would rise, to re-
ceive these introductions. And this

The same thing is true here

Casserole of
Grab Meat

A seafood casserole made from
cooked fresh crab is a treat for
either luncheon or dinner. This
is the type of dish that can be pre-
pared in the morning, left in the
refrigerator until time for cooking.
Follow these directions, but add
the beaten egg whites just before
baking.
Casserole of Crab Meat
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
"a teaspoon of salt
/ cup of evaporated milk diluted
with cup of water
70 teaspoon of pepper
p cup of soft bread crumbs
2 cups of flaked cooked crab meat
3 eggs
Melt the butter add the flour,
salt and pepper. Add milk gradu-
ally and heat, stirring constantly.
When smooth, add the bread
crumbs and cook two minutes
longer. Take from fire add the

and fold in the stiffly beaten egg

UNHAPPY"
I wish you had told me a little
more about yourself, and what
you'd like to do. Do you want to
try secretarial work? Or clerical
work in an office? Or would you
like to go in for beauty culture, or
work in a shop? Whichever one
of these things you want to try,
see what is open to you in the way
of studying and acquiring better
knowledge of them.
In your place, I'd go to the Y. W.
C. A. and see what they have to
suggest in the way of free instruc-
ton in these subjects. and then
you can turn in and work hard.

a girl to get a job and hold it.

Iand to say goodbye to the guests
who have been invited to honor
you; that you will find it awkward
not to rise.
What the guest of honor says to
guests who have been invited to
meet her and the way she says 1t
are the gauge of her accustomed
ness and graciouSneSS.
GraciouSly she says, for instance,
"It has been such a great pleasure
to meet you, Mrs. Allen. Grace
has told me SO many pleasant
things about you, and I have been
looking forward to meeting you"
Or, I've had special pleasure in
meeting you this afternoon. l do
hope that 1 am to see you again
very soon."
Yes, these notes of thanks are
most important. For a hostess to
give a party in honor of guest is
a special compliment, and such
generous thought and hospitality
should be most definitely thanked
for.
Many people make 1t a point to
send flowers to their hostess or
hostesses before they leave town,
inclosing their letter of thanks.
Yes, this is important too. You
see how many opportunities you
will have on this trip of yours, to
show yourself a mannerly and ap-
preciative person!

The outstanding example of a
happy marriage where there was
such disparity of years is that of
DeLeSSeps, the eminent French en-

But 80 years is undoubtedly a
great gulf to bridge, even when
you're both fond Of out-of- door
sports and the young lady likes
the idea of living in a bungalow
near an orange grove. But when
she's 81 and 81, there you'll be, 80

SUGGESTIONS
For such q dinner, why not
have Swiss steak with thick
brown gravy, plain corn rolls with
turnip green's, stewed tomatoes
with horseradiSh, and baked Gus
tard. Then if you are not going
out in the evening, include green
onions. This honey dinner will
hit the spot.
The corn rolls can become a
spoon bread If you desire. Cooked
rice is added to this recipe but
the bread is baked in the creased
casserole in just the same way as
the old-faShioned variety.
The Valencia oranges on the
market now are of excellent quail
ity. The baked custard can gain
flavor by adding orange juice and
one-half teaspoon of grated orange
rind to the standard recipes.

and an expert on the evolution Of
the shape of a mans head.

Fish he explained, possess a
limited power to withhold their

One day millions of years ago
an impulsive fish-the CrosSop-

of the water" and that was the
beginning of brain structure. and
ultimately of the human race.
DR.. Tilney advised evolutionary
students to Study the brain as

He said the brain area where
