Manners
of the
Moment
CONE men have all the gestures, but

GONE men have all the gestures, but
none of the manners. Have you
ever noticed? They rise when lady
enters the room, most graciously, but
they carefully stand directly in front
OF the most comfortable chair while
the lady looks forlornly around for an
empty space on the floor.
And don't you think for a moment
that they don't know what they're
up to. They're just calculating males.
Predatory, in fact. And two-faced at
that. A man who just stays seated in
the most comfortable chair isn't half
80 bad. At least he Is honest. He
admits that he likes his chair and that
he wants to keep it. But the man who
rises and still hangs on to his chair
is just fake. His courtesy is only
knee deep.
Now if, of course, his chair Is a
very uncomfortable one, and there is
a nicer one empty, he probably should
stay right in front of 1t. That will
help to guide the lady to a comfortable
seat. But if chairs are scarce he
really, if he's going to make the
gesture at all, should give up all
That's what men are supposed to do
for ladies, you know. JEAN.

because they have no memories In

Many things that are shocking and
abhorrent to the old are perfectly
innocent and innocuous to the young.
OF course, calendar age and real
age are not always the same. There
are men and women who are born
old and who are virtually senile in
the cradle. There are other men and
women who are Peter Pans who never
grow up and who carry the heart Of

of these perpetually young men may

undeveloped. They have no idea Of
what they are going to be themselves

sheer luck If any girl-and-boy mar

SO times out Of 100, they have no

Always Best When in

Romans Do.
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: We have been
living here only year and find
that in spite Of ourselves we are grow
irg to love this little town. The whole
atmosphere is one Of simple friendli-
ness that is indeed uplifting after liv-
ing as we have as transients in so
many cosmopolitan cities where one
isn't even conscious Of having neigh
bors. But in this ou- new experience
we have found some unusual customs
For instance, it seems that every
hostess has the vegetables brought to
the table in individual little dishes
and put down at the right Of the plate
The other evening there were three
OF these little dishes, one holding
creamed potatoes and each Of the
other two vegetable. On the din
ner plate was simply the meat and
gravy. My husband, without think
ing, or at least certainly not intend
ing any dscourtesy. emptied these
little dishes on to his plate, and I
caught the hostess fiNed look Of sur
prise. Later I broughs up the sub
ject at home and asked my husband
whether he didn't thinl it better to
follow the practices of the people We
happened to be dining with. His
argument was that he had always
emptied such dishes when he was
served this way in a restaurant and
didn't see why it was any reflection
on the service of this house If he ate
his food the way he happened to like
1t best. I must agree with him in
that it is not convenient to eat food
from these little dishes. However. I
can't forget the hostess look, and
wondered what you would say.
Answer-As it happens, your hus-
band followed the correct precepts of
table etiquette. In table d'hote res
taurants, where individual portions
are necessarily brought in in the
proverbial bird-bath tubs, it has al
ways been correct to put the contents
Of these dishes on your plate and not
to eat from them. But If In this new
community you find it is customary
to serve vegetables in side dishes and
people eat directly from them, It is
always best when in Rome to do as
the Romans do. would not, however,
were I In your place, fnd it necessary
to follow this custom in my own house
at least, don't think so.
YEAR MRS. POST: When serving
a meal family style, by which I
mean putting serving dishes on the
table for every one to help oneself, is
it correct to remove the plates first
or the serving dishes when the table
Is being cleared before dessert? This
was brought up the other afternoon
at our neighborhood club meeting and
there was q divided opinion about 1t.
Answer-The rule for all courses is
that the plates are taken of frst.
At the meat course the meat is taken
OF next and then the vegetables.
