BRIDAL SHOWER

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
will you please tell me if, when
one is giving a shower for friend,
friends of the bride should be in
vited, or friends of the person who
is giving the shower?
"My nephew is going to be mar
ried and the girl is stranger in
this section. / have been wondering
if it would be all right for me to
have a shower for her and invite
my friends. She will make her
home in this village. "AUNT."
1t would, I think, seem inap-
propriate for you to give shower
for your nephew's fiancee. To be-
gin with, it isn't considered good
form for a member of the family
of either the girl or her fiance to
give a shower for a bride-to-be.
Also the guests who are invited
to showers are supposed to be
close friends of the bride-to-be.
BY inviting your friends to a
shower for your nephew'S fiancee
you are asking them to bring gifts
to someone whom they don't even
know. For you to give this shower
would give the appearance that
you were planning a promotion"
for the new home.
Now, what you really want to
do is to give a party that would
honor the bride-elect and would be
the means of presenting her to
your friends. This is a charming
gesture for you to make to her
and to your friends. But I urge
that you don't involve your party
by requesting" presents for the
guest of honor.
So instead Of a shower, why
don't you plan to give tea in
honor of this girl. or a bridge
party or a buffet supper, say, on
Saturday or Sunday evening?

SHE'S JEALOUS
SAAA ~ -
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"As you say in the Girl Meets
Boy series, now running in your
column, we met, fell in love and
could be married if it were not
for her perversity. She insists
I'm in love with someone else,
which is absolutely untrue. I'm
not in love with anyone else, don't
know anyone else, don't want to
be in love with anyone else.
But my young lady has treated
me to fits of Mysteries about this
imaginary rival on several Occa-
SiOns. / have demanded show
down, asked for the source of her
Information, and wish to confront
this person, if any. She declines
to give the source of her infOrma-
tiOn, only repeating over and over
again L know
"ThiS case surely has Inc.
"PUZZLED."
Shadow-boxing with an affinity
who does not exist must be dis
tracting, and as you have de-
manded a showdown with proofs,
and the girl isn't able to offer
them, I'm wondering if she's en-
tirely normal. Better go slowly
with this young lady. Life is hard
enough when it comes to realities.
But when ghosts are dragged in,
it's unbearable
The Washington times., 1937-03-13

The shops here in Washington
provide wide assortment of
exotic foods from which to choose
materials for them.
At the present time hot canapes
are the rage. Rounds of fried
toast. small cones of puffed paste
can be the basis for these canapes.
The puff pastries can be purchased
at many bakeries. They come
light as a feather and can be filled
with lobster, shrimp, smoked fish,
or cheese.
The pastes available for the
hostess are now quite complete.
There is ham and tongue, liver,
salmon. anchovy, shrimp, bloater
and Sardine butter, to mention a
few. Then, of course, the Stur-
geon, caviar and roes of various
kinds are ideal for this purpose.
Certain manufacturers have
blended two of these pastes to in
crease their piquant flavor. Shrimp
and bloater and salmon and
anchovy pastes are favorites. The
bloater, as you know, is type Of
smoked herring and has a rather
exotic flavor for those who have
not developed taste" for it. For
them the shrimp and bloater COM
bination is more pleasing.
COCKTAIL PARTIES
For cocktail parties, the tray of
cheese is still favored by many
hosteSSeS. In this case, the canapes
are apt to be the kind you make
yourself. Crisp crackers served
with the assortment of cheeses pro
vide the materials for this.
In the center of the tray two
bowls Of whipped cheese, one per-
haps Roquefort spread, another
cheese with port wine mixed with
only enough whipped cream to
make it "spreadable." Cheddar
with brandy is also available.
These cheeSes come in attractive
jars that can be used as small re
frigerator dishes after the cheese
has been consumed.
Ripe olives make an attractive
garniSh for canapes. Cooked
shrimps, thin strips of carrot, rad
iSheS, young onions and pickle
fans are also good.
For canape making many clever
twists" can be accomplished with
old recipes to provide something
new.
For an anchovy canape, lay over
the top of each anchovy two
matchlike strips of pimento, then
lattice fashion two matchlike
strips Of skinned green pepper.
For a true Russian canape,
choose rye bread. Cut one-quar-
ter-inch thick. Toast one side in
hot butter. Cut into rounds.
Spread each with a teaspoon of
anchovy paste. On this place two
anchovy fillets, and then a tea
spoon of black caviar.
If you prefer serving the cheese
as a canape, then mix the Stilton
in port with minced celery and
chopped pimento. This will add
color and interest to its appear
ance.
Caviar has an intense flavor
and many prefer it blended. This
can be accomplished by spreading
the toast rounds first with cream
cheese or mixing the caviar with
the yolk of a hard-cooked egg and
sprinkling it carefully with lemon
juice.
These two recipes are for more
elaborate canapes. One is made
from Roquefort. jellied in tiny
molds, and the other is tasty nut

MARKING SILVER
,ar Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
"ShOuld a prospective bride
have the silver engraved with her
family initial or her prospective
husbands initials? o"
Either is correct. The bride
elect who likes the traditionally-
correct forms, has her silver en-
graVed with the initials of her
maiden name, or uses one initial,
the initial of the surname of her
maiden name. Other prospective
brides use the initials of their
name-to-be IN S B, for Mary Smith
Brown, or the initial of the sur
name Of the husband-to-be.

they have been washed with
lavendar soap and warm water.
Next, a pad of cotton saturated
with toning lotion should be
used to wipe away the last
traces of the cream and dirt
particles. The cream comes in
a lovely 11-sided ivory-like jar
with a delicate pink top on
which the familiar honey bee is
carved. 1t will be an asset to

MARYLAND Concerned

Maryland Concerned
/ told Bateman, while we COM
miserated over the instance, that
it has come to my knowledge that
Maryland, which was the oppo-
nent of V. M. I. on the occasion
that has caused so much discus
sin, was equally shocked over the
circumstance as V. NJ l. itself.
Maryland is among the colleges
which have developed its ring pro-
gram as gradually as Bateman
himself would bring along a young
fighter. l witnessed Maryland S
meet with the totally inadequate
North Carolina State team, for
instance, three weeks ago, and l
could read the CONSERVATION on
the face of Coach Heinie Miller as
six uneven bouts progressed, two
having been forfeited for obvious
reason. I thought, sitting there,
that all of them should have been
forfeited, but college pride pro-
hibited that.
Pride has no place in a picture
where young life might be
Stunted or even worse, and in the
meantime it is up to the colleges
themselves to find a more equit-
able method of conducting their
ring competition.
To all of this Bateman assents,
