Manners
of the
Moment

I'm through, for the moment, with
being nice to elderly ladies. They're
spoiled. Give them an inch, and
they take mile. Aren't they sup
posed to have manners, too?
The other night I stood in line
for half an hour waiting in q
crowded ladies' check room to check
my wrap. And Just as I got to the
window three dear old things who
were behind me in line elbowed in
ahead Of me. I think I would have
spent the rest Of the evening check
ing my coat II I hadn't become bel
ligerent, for there were several hun
dred nice old ladies behind me who
seemed perfectly willing to push
me aside while they checker their
coats.
If any Of them had been on
crutches I might not have minded.
But they all seemed very vigorous
g.. plenty vigorous, at least to get
an elbow between me y and the
counter. Each in turn would toss
me cloying smile and an old nut
about age before beauty.
It's all right for age to expect
favors at times. But, really, a wait
ing line is q waiting line. And still
believe that each should take his
turn, regardless of sex, creed or age.
I am, right at this moment, bitter.

Likely
To Be Ruler
Women Are Real
Inspiration for
World Today
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.


Only two days remain before the
promising New Year dawns. Why
not use those for some serious
checking up on yourself?
+ have always thought that
Thanksgiving and New Years Day
could be celebrated Jointly even
though one is a national holiday
and the other is universal. For
on looking back over the old year
there is much to be thankful for
even though it had its trials and
tribulations. And it is good to be
standing on the threshold of the
New Year with it's fresh opportu-
nifty to see more of our dreams
come true!
But what most of us do not
seem to realize Is this-that dreams
do not come true through magic.
Even the more glamorous successes
which you know of had but little
Of the element of chance. All had
an impressive record OF persever-
ance and optimism!
In this world so beset currently
with conflict of one kind and an
other, every individual finds it
most difficult to log his course of
living. Dfscouragement comes easily,
hope is difficult to hold on to. But
why live at all if you lose hope?
What joy is there in each day If
you are not working toward one
goal or another?
Women and girls everywhere
must realize that upon them de-
pends the sanity of the nations
the inspiration of the era. Those
demands upon us have not changed
throughout the ages even though
the ages themselves have recorded
startling byways from the paradise
we all seek. And how much more
influence have we of the female
sex if we retain and enhance the
allure given us as a birthright.
Have you ever read of a sue
cessful courtesan or woman spy
who was ugly? No indeed, it was
because of those women's beauty
they were chosen or coerced into
the services of their kings and
countries. Man knows that beauty
rules! And your beauty can rule
in your little private domain just
as the beauty of the illustrious
courtesan ruled IN the courts of
history!
Successful beauty, just Is any
other success, requires persever-
ance. You cannot hope to be slim
of body, graceful in manner, soft
of voice, and beautiful of face, with
out devoting time and energy to
making you so. But the rewards
are so great that I urge you to
resolve to make yourself a more
beautiful woman in the year which
is knocking at your door.
Danish discouragement, take on
fresh hope. Take an inventory of
your ugliness-not your beauty
and then plan to Danish that ugli-
ness. What Joy and success is In
store for you, and how much more
quickly those dreams of yours will
materialize If you will make the
most Of your beauty. Come on,
let's begin Monday! Get in step
with the millions of women who
are all yearning for, and working
for, a well rooted happiness! And
may your New Year be the bright
est and happiest you have ever

are delicious and spicy and gala in
spirit that are not as heavy nor as
potent as the traditional egg and
cream mixture. So here are a few
suggestions along simpler lines
which should prove popular with
your guests-be they young or old:
SPICED NUT MILK.
(Serves s.
4 ounces shredded coconut.
2 tablespoons butter.
teaspoon cinnamon.
l quart rich milk (part cream may
be used).
Sugar to taste.
Little grated nutmeg.
Melt the butter in saucepan, add
the coconut, and cook over a low
hame, stirring constantly until CO.

cinnamon and the milk, bring to a
boil, and simmer for about 3 min

utes. Sweeten to taste and pour
into warmed cups. Sprinkle q little
nutmeg on top.
FRENCH HOT CHOCOLATE.
Cor g.
squares chocolate.
/ cup cold water.
3 tablespoons sugar.
cups milk.
Pinch of salt.
Marshmallows or whipped cream.
Heat the chocolate and water to-
gether until chocolate is well blend
ed and thoroughly melted. Add the
salt and the sugar. Boil for about
3 to minutes, stirring constantly.
Place in q double boiler, over hot
water, and stir the milk In slowly.
Heat through. Beat hard until
very light and frothy. Pour into
cups and top with a spoonful Of
whipped cream or one marshmal-
low.
CRANBERRY PUNCH.
IL cups sugar.
3 cups boiling water.
2 cups cranberry sauce.
u cup pineapple juice.
! pint lemon ice.
/ quart carbonated water.
II cup Maraschino cherries.
Slices of orange, lemon and pine
apple.
Dissolve the sugar in the boiling
water. Add the cranberry sauce
and stir until mixture is smooth.
Add the pineapple juice. Strain
mixture through cheesecloth and
chill. For serving, pour over block
of ice, in a punch bowl, add the
lemon ice, water and the cherries,
chopped fine. Garnish with fruit
slices.
SPICED CIDER.
(For g.
l cup packed brown sugar.
4 teaspoon salt.
112 teaspoons cloves.
l teaspoon allspice.
4 sticks cinnamon.
Little grated nutmeg.
2 quarts cider.
MIX the sugar, salt and spices.
Add to the cider and simmer all
together for 10 minutes. Strain
through cloth and reheat. Serve in
hot pottery mugs or stems If pos
sible. Sprinkle nutmeg on top.
And, just word, while we are
on the subject of punches and so
forget that if you are
serving chilled beverage you
may order from the ice companies
a beautiful punch bowl, carved from
a solid block of ice, in whatever size
you need. These are both decorative
and useful-for you need no further
chilling than is provided by the bowl
1tself-and the bowl will last from
four to five hours!

Dorothy Dix Says

A distinguished psychologist warns
boys and girls against the danger
of falling in love with the wrong
person. To prevent this catas-
trophe he advises them to investi-
gate very carefully the heredity,
health, character, habits and dis
positions of any members of the
opposite sex to whom they may be
attracted before they fall in love
with them.
Fine idea. Only how is this ad-
mirable theory to be put into ex-
ecution? Falling in love is not
something one does deliberately,
with set purpose and malice afore-
thought. 1t is something that hap
pens to one suddenly when. one is
least expecting it, like being struck
by lightning or run over by an auto
mobile. It is something for which
one can't be prepared.
A young man may be going along
his way, heart whole and fancy free,
at peace with himself and the world,
and with no suspicion of danger. He
makes enough money to indulge
himself in all the little comforts
and luxuries he Graves, but it would
butter the bread very thinly If he
had spread it over a wife and kids.
He has his personal liberty and can
come and go as he pleases. He is
the darling Of hostesses and enjoys
all the perquisites that pertain to
the single man.
Then, without warning, like a bolt
from the blue, the thing happens
that he has tried to avoid. Boy
meets girl, and before he knows it
he has fallen head over heels In
love with her. He had no premoni-
ton OF danger 50 that he could

for
Attendants
AtWedding
Gifts Unnecessary
At Very Simple
Ceremonies
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post When a bride
and groom merely 60 to the minis
ter's house to be married and have
with them only two friends who are
to stand up with them, is it obliga-
tory that each buy present for her
and for his attendant? There is
little trouble connected with the at
tendantS' duties and no expense, as
they will wear ordinary everyday
clothes. In fact, it is my feeling
that our attendants feel honored at
being the only two people chosen.
Answer: Usually each gives his
attendant a present. At such a lit
tie wedding, which is not really a
wedding at all, but a marriage, it
is hardly necessary for either you
or the groom to give your attendants
presents. But of course it is GUS
tomary that the attendants give a
wedding present to the bride.
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister died
very suddenly, leaving parents and
six brothers and sisters too bereaved
and stunned to believe that she is
gone. She went to college a few
years ago and through these con-
facts has many friends all over the
country. I am wondering how We
could let some Of these people know
that sister is gone. I can't write
personal notes and neither can the
others. 1t would be Like cruelty
ing us.
Answer: There is no definite way
Of sending out such message. On
occasion, the favorite photograph
of the one who has died is repro
duced on a card with q narrow
mourning border and underneath
this Is put the dates Of her birth
and death, and on the back of the
card is engraved Cor printed an
especially appropriate quotation to
that person from the Scriptures,
either passage that was her par
ticular favorite, or the verses OF AZ
hymn or more likely prayer. These
cards are then sent out to every one
who cared for the deceased and
who it might be supposed would
cherish such remembrance of
her. Or, if the picture is printed
on the inside of folded card, the
outside front sheet is sometimes
ornamented very simply with a
cross or other suitable ecclesiastical
design, and the text printed on the
second side. If you don't want to
follow this suggestion it seems to-
me that less near relative or
friend of yours would be glad to
be of service and write short notes
to the list of names you give her.
have never seen them but there
may even be cards designed by the
manufacturers especially for this
purpose.

Often
Is Much Too
True Giving Must
Be Accompanied
By a Sacrifice
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"Here, you take it. Go on. You
can have it." Thus George pressed
his new picture book on his depart
ing guest.
20, no, no." protested the guests
mother, in the tone that says, How
very nice. Thanks lot"
The departing guest, aged 4, to
whom the book was almost useless,
tucked the book under his arm and
headed for the door, lest his host
change his mind.
George would not have changed
his mind. He loved to give things
away and get new ones from his
parents and relatives. He liked to
get quite as much as he gave. His
mother was worried about this
giving. II can't keep buying you
balls and wagons and books if you
keep giving them away like this.
If you don't want them don't ask for
them. But you must stop giving
them away"
But George continued to hand out
his belongings most generously. Nor
did he stop there. He was lavish
with his mothers cookies, the candy
that stood on the living room table
his sisters toys and other belong
ings. It was sister who finally put
a stop to Georges lavish generosity
with other folks things.
The children were playing in the
garden and sister had brought out
her precious kitchen outfit for the
housekeeping game she loved. The
girl visitor had enjoyed it very much,
had admired the little pots and the
dear little kettle, had just loved the
stove. When she was going home
George gathered up the cooking
utensils and offered them to the
visitor. Horror followed by anger
swept sisters soul. With a howl
OF rage she struck the things from
his hands and said, Don't you
mind him. He's just a nut. But
I'll fix him." and she fell upon him
and gave him a beating he re-
membered for long time.
"You should not have been so
cruel to your brother" said mother
reproachfully. He doesn't mean
any harm. It's his way of being
kind. I know he is wrong and I've
tried to check him but"
Its bad enough when he gives
away his things, but he isn't going
to give mine away. I'll take them
right back and he'll see what he
gets II he does it again."
There are children who try to
buy favor by giving all they own.
IT they are allowed to make a habit
of this it undermines their char
acters. They make no effort to hold
their own with other children and
young people, but rely on buying
their way with their own possess
sions, or, when they fail, those they
can lay hands on. The practice
leads to unfortunate ends.
Children should not be permitted
to give away anything without the
permission Of their elders. No child
should be allowed to accept anything
from another without permission of
both the parents concerned. There
Is no real generosity involved in such
giving. Real generosity calls. for
sacrifice, and that feeling is not
present in this sort Of giving. It be-
trays weakness that needs
strengthening. It is not a virtue to
be cultivated.

turn and flee to safety. He had no
time to look up her pedigree, or
ask for her I. O.. or to inquire of
the people who had known her all
her life whether she was industri-
Gus and domestic and kind to her
mother. She just somehow hit his
taste and he feels that life would
be cinders, ashes and dust without
her, and that's all there is to it.
OF course, 1t would save lot of
grief If men and women could con-
troll their affections and set them
upon those who would make them
suitable mates. Then, indeed, would
marriage be an earthly Paradise in
which the heart would do the heads
bidding and we should be able to
thrill to order.
Another Of the difficulties of low
ing to order is that none of us
know why we love, or what particu-
lar thing 1t is in a man or woman
that made us pick him or her out
as the object of our alteration. Ger
tainly we do not fall in love with
people for their virtues. No man
falls in love with a woman because
she is thrifty and industrious and
cut out to be a good wife. Nor
does any girl fall in love with a man
because he is moral and sober and
upright and model citizen. The
world is full of sanity old maids
and bachelors who never raised q
futter In any ones heart.
All OF which goes to show the
difficulty Of finding out before you
fall in love the sort of a person you
should fall in love with. It can't
be done, for the heart is a self
starter. and before you can put on
the brakes 1t has run away with
you. DOROTHY DIX.

me how to proceed?
MRS. B. L. G.
Answer-If you will turn the
chairs upside down I think you will
find under the seat a corner piece in
back of each leg. In this is long
screw. Remove the screw and you
will find that the seats lift out. This
will free the seat to be recovered

I have some very fine ones that

dition. MRS. D. L.
Answer-Several of the better
cleaning establishments offer this
service but the results depend'
great deal upon the quality of the
material and glaze. I personally
know of some glazed hangings near
ly hundred years old that were
cleaned and the glaze was un-
touched. Generally speaking-many
of the modern pieces after cleaning
and glazing will not have the glaze
as uniform or as shiny; however,
they will be clean. I suggest that
you take q length Of your material
to an expert, ask his advice and
ask to see some samples Of the
glazing they have done.

A tiny table, a decorative mirror
frame. chair frame with light uphol-
stery. Everything that you place in
the room should be white or light. I
think you will find that your re-
fected light and your actual light
will make it most attractive.
