WORK ALL DAY

And so the teachers work from
daylight to dark because at least
one-third of the $500 children in
the Southeast section need the
help OF a social worker as well as
a teacher.
If the sums given voluntarily
by teachers for milk, food and
clothing to lessen the privation of
these children were audited, they
would run into thousands of
dollars. The number of hours
spent after school in visiting
poverty-stricken homes would run
into months.
In the majority of cases the
only happiness and comfort these
children know is what they get
in the claSsroomS. The claSSrooms
are not much better than their
homes, but the teachers and princi-
pals do what they can by keep
ing the rooms clean and cheerful
with fresh flowers and plants.
Miss Elizabeth Hummer, ad-
ministrative principal of the Fifth
Division, who has 20 elementary
schools under her supervision. said

AT KINPAIL DAMAGED
BY Sl.i00.00 FIRE

The people OF Kimball today was
frightened with a big fire which
burned the Presbyterian church,
colored, t. the extent in DAMAGE
of over a thousand dollars The
origin of the fire was decided to
have been the result of i dcfec-
tive wire in the roof of the
church or the probability of a
spark of fire having caught in
the shingles of the church. Dam
age resulted in the sum of at
least a thousand and four hun
dred dollars, partly insured.

out at dinner hastily and with
precision rushed to the scene
and gave every whit Of aid in
their power to save tn" church

Convenient Table.-A knee-high

Such table encourages her to sit

IN EAR Mrs. Post: was at a very
- miniature wedding reception
recently. In fact, there were only
ten persons present. But it was one
of the loveliest after-wedding par
ties / have ever known. 1t was
late afternoon and almost dark, the
dining table was set with a lace
cloth and candelabra, there was a
small BRIDES cake ornamented with
the wedding couples first names
and bride ana groom figurine set
on top, and there was champagne to
drink the traditional toasts. Unlike
all other weddings at which / have
been, at this one sat close enough
so that could watch the wedding
cake being cut, and never be-
fore realized that this could be such
a task. The bride pierced the cake
with the point of the blade but when
she tried to bring the side of the
blade down through the cake, the
slice broke into many pieces. One
of the guests took the knife then
but her luck was just about the
same. I have wondered since the
wedding whether there was any
right way to cut wedding cake, or
is it, as in this case, just matter
of chance?
Answer: Of course you don't tell
me whether the cake was not very
fresh, or perhaps the knife very
dull. In any case, the best way to
cut wedding cake is to spear it
first and with the knife in this same
poin: down position, continue to stab
the slice all the way across. If
after the first stab is made, the knife
blade is brought down as though it
were a lever, the piece invariably
crumbles even though the blade is
very sharp.

Write Note of Thanks
to sympathetic Friends

IN EAR Mrs. Post: Is it proper to
- acknowledge notes sent in SYM
pathy with thank you card? be-
lieve that friends and acquaintance
should eventually be thanked by
note no matter what the extent of
their expressions of sympathy, but
my daughter feels that for slighter
expressions a printed form could be
used. In fact, she thinks that these
times, and birthday and anniver-
sary occasions are the only ones
when printed cards of thanks would
be suitable. Will you give us your
opinion.
Answer: In return for a card an
other card is suitable. But thanks
for present or real favor or any
thing as serious as letter of con-
dolence must be answered by a note
or at least'a handwritten message.
Sympathy shown to family in deep
mourning can be answered with
fewest handwritte1 words on a Wis
iting card. This limited answer is
obviously permitted because of the
effort that any longer reply would
be to one in sorrow. Moreover, less
near members of the family may
write in the places of those most
nearly concerned.
Women In Night Clubs
m EAR Mrs. Post: I was much
~ Interested in your article in
which you said that women should
not go to night club unaccompa-
MED by a man. Won't you please
tell me whether this also applies to
the early dinner hour? sometimes
go to New York accompanied by
my mother, or other older woman
relative, and instead of having din
ner in quiet restaurant we like
to go to one that has Broadway at
mosphere with music and show.
Answer: A young woman dining
no matter where and staying for
awhile with her mother or other
older woman relative is quite diff
ferent situation from that Of two
young women going late to a night
club without man!
