In the evening coffee not only
becomes a part Of the menu as a
beverage but as a flavor for many
desserts and pastries. 1t does
mean that Americans are very
fond of this imported bean.
In cooking with coffee it Is i'm
portant that the coffee be made
properly.
A good grade Of coffee should
be used and the amounts Of coffee
and water carefully measured. Be
sure that your coffee pot Is kept
in spotless condition. and follow
the directions accurately for max
ing it. The drip coffee maker and
the percolator simplify its prepa-
ration.
The coffee flavor can be given
many desserts by substituting
freshly made coffee for amount Of
water called for In the recipe. In
making puddings. extract the
flavor by simmering the coffee
in milk for five minutes and then
letting it stand for is before
straining.

'age, and it begins long before the
double chins and full hips appear
We are always as young and
graceful as our spine will permit,
so why not avoid all danger OF
these tense rigid muscles that are
the antithesis of all neck and
back beauty? We can really keep
these muscles and the vertebra
as supple as we like.
The modern complete facials as
they are done in the better salons
emphasize the lubricating Of the
back and neck muscles, and they
are really marvellous and well
worth the time and money ex-
pended on them. If it is not con-
venient to go to the salon for
treatment, you can do the work
at home If you will.
Mrs. c. S.-The question Of
wearing long hair is always a

What kind of a back have you?
Is it one of those beautifully SYM
metrical, slender ones with smooth
white skin, or are there rolls Of
superfluous flesh that interfere
with the natural graceful contour?
There is an incompatible
charm in the beautifully formed
back and slender neck lines, you
know. Formal gowns call for
lovely backs, and good fine skin
texture, but summer styles de-
mand all these projections.
Many of us neglect our usual
set Of exercises and the necessary
beauty routine at certain times
of the year, and from our observa-
ton we find there is always a let
down or a real omission Of these
routines after the winter months.
We are resting or just being care
less.
Now, before the bathing suits
and summer shorts are with us
again we really must do something
for ourselves or we may be embar-
raised later on. First Of all, no
girl or woman can afford to omit
her neck exercise.
Every child and the very young
girl moves her head and neck con-
stantly, but with our conscious
dignity of the grown-up age we
form the habit Of holding the neck
too rigid, and this in turn will
cause a sluggish rigidtty Of the
back muscles.

Correct Manners
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when one is giving a party, Is
it proper to invite people who are
strangers to each other?
when a group like this forms
a party, how are they introduced?
"When both boys and girls are
invited to an informal party, Is
it necessary to invite a boys girl
friend if you know the boy but do
not know the girl?
when eating a lunch consist
ing of a sandwich and coffee, how
do you use ketchup? Is it correct
to put it on sandwich directly, or
is it to be put on a plate?
READER"
Yes.
You first introduce the girls to
each other, then the boys to the
girls, and then the boys to the
boys. At a large party, however
it isn't necessary to take an arrlV'
ing guest about the room to intro
duce her or him to everyone pres
ent. Introduce arriving guests to
the group of guests near you, the
hostess, ard then let the introduc
lions spread naturally. as the
guests join other groups.
The fact that you don't know
the girl doesn't mean that you
can't properly invite her to the
party. You'll probably make then
both happy if you invite her! The
thing to do is to ask the boy fo1
her address, and then write her Z

Each game takes about 35

keep interested. 1t has taken
we'll in New York, where it has
just been introduced, and we
