Possible That She
Never Received
Parcel at All.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I'm in a pre-
dicament that is not easy to
think through by myself More than
q month ago We were driving through
the town in which an ex-neighbor
lives and l stopped at her house with
present for her, but when no one
was at home left it at the next house
with neighbor of hers. I haven't
heard a word from my friend in all
this time and am afraid her neighbor
did not understand my name or that
she didn't give it to her at all l do
think I should have received some
word. don't you? And is there any
way I can tactfully find out what has
happened?
Answer: Write to your friend and
tell her exactly what has happened
and describe the object that you left.
1t might be possible that some one
had unpacked it and put it away. AS
can easily happen when packages are
customarily opened in tn. kitchen.
And it could also happen that later
on the owner of the house might not
recognize it as your gift. OF course,
am only guessing that this might
have happened, because I know Of a
case where it did.

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Lilacs can be planted as late
as November and the garden
maker can be almost certain that
they will live and thrive. In fact,
Fall planting is better than
Spring planting because lilacs
begin to grow very early. This
early season growth is retarded
when planting is delayed. Lilacs
are not at all particular as to
soil, but they are heavy feeders
and will give better flowers if a
liberal supply of well-rotted barn.
yard manure is dug into the
ground around them. If manure
is not available, a complete fer
tilizer can be substituted. AL
though lilacs prefer a sunny To-
cation, they will grow and bloom
successfully in partial shade.
There are many desirable varie-
ties of llacs offered in the cata-
logues, and the gardener who
wishes to plant them is urged to
study the lists, make his selection
now, and plant as soon as
possible.

BY ANGELO PATRI.

WHATS the matter, Roberto" "oh
w I'm in a mess at school. Mr..
Rogers says he wants to see you OF

I'm bored stiff in class. Especially
math and history Today for in
stance. we spent the whole math period
on one point, not even point, but
an example. Just a routine process.
That was because Maurice couldn' t
see why he changed signs. We all had
to keep working the same ground over
and over because Maurice, who will
never know when or why he changes
signs, was in trouble.
We'll, I'd work the example in my
head, and then go on with some prob
lens found in the back of the book.
And did Miss Rich get mad? She told
me to hand over my book. was
rude. I was wasting her time. I
was holding up the class. What I
wasn't she didn't say.
Finally I said, I'm sorry, Miss
Rich, that I'm such a nuisance to you.
I can't help knowing what Maurice
does not know. And I don't see any
reason for your calling me things like
this, either. I'm bored stiff in this
class room every day and I'm Just as
tired OF Maurice as you are Then
she sent me to the Office and Mr..
Rogers lectured me in the same strain.
1t all comes down to this: Either I
keep step with Maurice, who has
stopped the procession now for weeks,
or get out. I'll have to get out"
And Robert had stated the case
exactly. He was genius in mathe-
matics, and a whizz at history. He
Gould do bookful Of problems while
Maurice prepared to get ready. Yet
he, and others with him, had to sit
and yawn, and wait, and waste their
days because they belonged to a class
in a public school and the basic idea
OF the public school, said the prin-
cipal, was democracy. One child as
good as another. No favors shown.
Now I ask you whether that is the
idea of democracy as expressed in the
public school?
1t is not my notion of it. Democ-
racy gives each person his place and
opportunity. It allows him freedom
OF action up to the place where that
action interferes with the peace and
happiness of others. Why level the
group to the lowest grade? II you
cannot lift the lower ones why not let
the faster ones get where they are
going and speed them on their way?
Every creative worker-artist at his
easels, sculptor on his scaffolds, chem
ist IN his laboratory-has, beside his
daily work, some special task that
he. works at on the side, some idea
ne Is working out, some problem he
Is trying to solve. Every teacher
should make his gifted pupils his
special problem and work over them
as he works through his routined days.
Don't kill the odd one. Cultivate
him. He is usually extremely worth
while.

Beauty Aids
Important
Cleansing Tissues,
Soft Cotton Are
Indispensable.

chest can be without a roll of
absorbent cotton or cleansing tissues.
These, to my mind, head the list Of
double duty" aids. The fact Is that
they do more than double duty (.
pinch-hitting in any number Of emer-
gencies. The absorbent cotton pad
becomes a cream carrier and remover
and is, Of course, just as valuable
to apply tonic or astringent. And for
astringent the cotton can be folded
in such way as to serve as patter
to help keep the chin line firm. Its
versatility is amazing. Any woman,
it seems to me, can name dozens OF
little emergencies that are nobly
bridged by a mere wad Of cotton. 1t
rises to real beauty heights in pinch
hitting for the powder puff. Certain
ly by using once and discarding one
avoids the danger of germ transfer.
No less lofty place on the Beauty
Must List is occupied by the little
cleansing tissues. They can be used
to wipe Off cream, to dust off excess
powder as we'll as to dust desk, wipe
shoes, bags and what-not. They are
perfect handkerchiefs particularly
when one has cold
Then there's hand lotion which has
its very specialized mission and should
be used for the purpose every time
the hands are washed Come this
season Of the year, however, and you
find hand lotion doing a double duty
job, finding its way down to legs and
thighs, over arms and shoulders. AS
soon as cold blasts begin to blow
sandpaper skin sets in and there's
nothing like an old-fashioned scrub
bing with soap and water and fairly
stiff-bristled brush. plus thorough rims
ing in cool water, thorough drying and
a hand-lotion massage to keep the
skin "all over" like silk.
We could add to our list the lowly
lemon which fills high niche on the
list of double-duty beauty aids; olive
oil has its place, too; and even the
bottle of natural nail polish is called
upon to stop stocking run
The nice thing about these double
duty aids is that they seem such swell
beauty bargains.

sin! Daintiness, neatness and de-
liciousness are the three "nesses" to
remember at the tea hour.
AS to cake. I deplore the habit Of
serving large. "gooey" layer cake,
that drips all over the place, and is
difficult to manage gracefully off a
plate on ones lap. Small cakes, or
cake squares, or cookies, or waters,
are so much nicer and easier on the
clothes and the poise. And, too, in
these days Of dieting and reducing,
guest is put in very embarrassing
position if the only edible in sight is
an enormous cake of the very richest
kind. If she doesn't eat it her hostess
is hurt-and if she does, her figure
is hurt. So much better all around
to do away with this menace to feel
ings and slimness!
NMALL, simple cakes will always
find an enthusiastic reception.
Here are one or two that will grace
your tea table prettily-and not offer
your best friends diet too severe an
insult:

the vanilla alternately with the sifted
dry ingredients. Pour into smallest
sized creased muffin tins and bake in
q moderate oven until done. Sprinkle
with powdered sugar or frost with a

2 egg yolks.
2 cups -four.

balls and set in the refrigerator to
become ice cold Roll out, place In
each one one teaspoon chopped nuts,
one teaspoon honey and one tea
spoon sugar. Form into tarts and
bake in moderate oven until

SOUR CREAM SPICE CAKE.
l cup brown sugar.
cup sour cream (thick).
l egg, slightly beaten.
112 cups flour.
teaspoon baking soda.
Il teaspoon cream Of tartar.
u teaspoon salt.
teaspoon ground nutmeg.
p cup chopped nuts.
u cup raisins.
l teaspoon cinnamon
Combine all dry ingredients and
sift together once Combine sugar
and sour cream, blend and add beaten
egg. To this mixture add the dry
ingredients, nuts and raisins. Stir
only until we'll blended. Bake at $50
degrees for about IS minutes. This
recipe will fill one 8-by-8-by-2-inch
cake pan. When cool, cut in shapes
and frost.
Mocha frosting is especially good on
this cake. as it blends perfectly with
the spices used.

In wanting to have boy friends and

when you were young and, although
your father prophesied that you would

And remember that customs have
changed since your day and things
that were considered almost scan

children were young, all was harmony

have grown up into beautiful young
women, there come the boy friends

when I told them how indecent this

haps one of the fathers who, without
realizing it, are little jealous of their
daughters boy friends Many men
are like that. 1t comes with a shock
to some fathers that their little girls
have grown up and are interested in
other men besides them and that
father isn't the center of their universe
any more.
Nearly always the oldest daughter
in family has a terrible time edu-
eating father up to the point of not
foaming at the mouth when she be-
gins having beaux. But after time
father gets used to boys overrunning
the house and to taking his paper and

he can find in which to read 1t while
