CERVING SILVER for the minimum

CERVING SILVER for the minimum

/ Jelly or berry spoon.
Salad fork and spoon (these may be

l pair sugar tongs.
These are only essentials, Of course.
There are plenty of other items like
tea strainers, butter knives or picks,
cheese servers and so on that can be
added by friends or later as the budget
permits. The same holds true of the
fiat silver, as the entertaining and
finances increase, oyster forks, fish
forks and knives. salad forks, large
size dinner knives and forks, after
dinner coffee spoons. iced tea spoons
and fruit knives may be added But
the average young couple will go
slowly in purchasing such items until
they see for themselves just how their
household IS going to run, and what
their real needs will be.
Remember, too, that silver. lovely
as it is is responsibility. 1t must
have regular cleaning, properly done,
to be kept at its best. And this takes
time-so that if the bride is still
keeping her job outside, or is busy
in other activities. she should not
saddle herself with more pieces OF

Brides Father Can
Dress Differently
From Ushers.
Bv EMILY POST.

YEAR MRS. POST: There is just
one detail of an all-white we'd
ding that is not clear to U.s. Will you
please explain about it? 1t has been
decided that the bridesmaids are to
wear white dresses and carry white
bouquets and the men are to have all
white palm beach or linen suits.
The decorations of the church will be
confined to white flowers and greens.
But what about my husband. the
brides father? He does not want to
wear an all-white suit. He will, OF
course, give in if there is nothing else
for him to do or spoil the wedding
picture.
AnsWer-It is never necessary that
the father of the bride be dressed
exactly like the other men in the we'd
ding party. A gray flannel suit. for
example, would be very suitable, or a
black sack coat with medium gray
striped trousers. For that matter,
he could even wear a black cutaWay.
but I think something less formal
would be more in keeping with the
clothes Of the ushers.

DEAR MRS. POST: I want to save
my f1ance the expense of buying
50 many bridesmaids bouquets. and
for this reason thought Of having my
attendants carry shepherds crooks.
Do you think this is good idea and
will you tell me how they are used?
Answer-It is absolutely incorrect
that the bridegroom be expected to
buy the bridesmaids bouquets. They
are part of the wedding expenses, just
as much so as the decorations of the
church and the food that is served
at the reception. Shepherds crooks
would be very inappropriate. since
they have no possible association with
weddings If your family is unwilling
or unable to supply the bridesmaids
with flowers. they could carry prayer
books, temporarily covered with ma
terial of a color becoming to their
dresses. But whatever you do, please
don't expect your bridegroom to as
sumo expenses which are not his. He
does in some communities give the
bride her bouquet. and If he does not
give her her bouquet he gives her
corsage to wear away. He also sup
plies his ushers and himself with their
boutonnieres. The brides father buys
his own boutonniere and any flowers
worn by his wife. The bridegroom
pays the minister's fees. and as soon
as the wedding is over all expenses for
the honeymoon are his.

Foods
Produce a
Bad Skin
Green Vegetables,
Fruit and Milk
The Best Diet.
Bv ANGELO PATRI.

ROYS whose legs ana dILlS dle
lengthening, whose cheeks are
showing a slight shadow of down,
are likely to have little trouble with
their skins. This bothers them lot
more than it does other people who
only have to look on and say, why
don't you do something for that?
Really, it looks terrible" What can
they do about it?
Take a daily bath, rubbing the skin
until it glows. That is the first step.
If it Is possible to get into drenching
perspiration and follow that with a
shower, that is good thing to do. A
daily evacuation Of the bowels is I'M
perative, must" for this condition.
Most important, because it is the
foundation upon which all other efforts
must be built, is the daily diet. Grow
ing boys have good appetites, and they
like a great deal of what they like.
Chocolate bars, peanuts. ice cream
sodas, Napoleons, spice cakes, dough-
nuts, Washington pies-any kind OF
pie-all desserts in seconds. all the
cake that Is on hand, any candy that
is loose. Fried food like crullers and
doughnuts and fritters are gifts from
the gods There is limit to even q
boys appetite, so that when wholesome
vegetables and soup and meat are
offered him he can find no place for
them His menu is complete with the
good things" he likes.
These goodies are what produce the
bad skin effects. If the. boy exercised
daily, bathed and ate and attended to
his health habits as prescribed by his
physician, he would not have skin
trouble. He would look and feel like
young athlete ready for the Olympic
games.
Boys need to drink milk. They need
to eat fresh vegetables. In the old days
when vegetables could not be had
throughout the winter months we were
hard put to it to find enough green's
to keep us going until spring brought in
the first lambs quarters" and dande-
lions. How good they tasted after a
winter of turnips and beets only the
older generation can tell. But today,
with loads of lovely fresh vegetables
coming in refrigerated cars, by truck.
by rail and by water, everybody can
have all he wants. That means that
any boy who really wants to be
healthy and look that way, can have
his wish. Green vegetables. fresh or
cooked fruit and milk. with little
meat, will work the charm.
The sweets must be cut to the bone.
No fried food. No fatty foods. No
candy. No Napoleons. No Washing
ton pies. But that still leaves oranges,
grapefruit, cherries, strawberries, the
long list of fruits that are treat to
the eye and the nose and the mouth
and the stomach and the skin Of
healthy boy. And the vegetables. beans
and peas-did you ever eat new peas
with tiny new onions on a spring eve
ning?-and tomatoes. and everything
that grows in a garden? Their very
beauty is enough to call up an appe-
tite. Enough, too, to suggest the
beauty that they will bestow upon those
who eat them. Boys who eat vegetables
and fruit and drink milk look like ath-
letes, trim and straight and clear-eyed.
Those who do not-do NOT.
Any boy can have a good skin If he
wants it. He has to eat for 1t, wash
for it, exercise for 1t, work for it. It
Is worth it.

over top for desks, and the tambour
panel for the front of a sideboard.
This is a narrow panel Of wood which
rolls back out of sight into a con-
cealed box and is so weighted that
it may be controlled with a slight
touch.
He also introduced the fancy wash
stand, and, though cleanliness may
have been next to godlinesS, this
article of furniture was most made
quate from the standpoint of ef-
ficiency. Sometimes combined with q
writing table it was little more than
a complicated powder table intricately
designed so that little boxes and par
titions popped up when a spring was
released.
He made many beautiful small pieces
OF furniture which had no real use,
but filled up room so that 1t looked
pretty Vast sums of money were
spent both in London and in the Colo
nies by wealthy persons for exquisite
pieces which made their drawing
rooms a beautiful stage, setting of to
the best advantage their glorious silks
and satins and powdered wigs. The
furniture of the age was delicate ana
effeminate in appearance, and only
fine workmanship and true design
prevented it from being as fragile as
it seemed.
HeppleWhite's work. as We know 1t,
now represents school quite oppo-
site to that of Chippendale. There
were probably many others who worked
as hard and as well at the same time,
but they did not leave book of their
work to advertise their fame to pos
terity. But this we know of Hepple-
white-he made fine furniture with
artistic merit as we'll as practical
character. 1t was designed in the
workshop rather than in the studio,
which makes all the difference in the
world. One-sixteenth Of an inch
makes a great change in the taper of
the leg of a HeppleWhite chair. and
corrections were made to the fraction
Of an inch before any piece of furni-
ture left the work bench Of George

were at the same time concave on
the plan which distorts the oval. To
execute this, considering at the same
time that the chair must stand
squarely on four feet. be balanced for
comfort and to hold weight without
wobbling. is an engineering feat.
There was fine tradition of hon.
esty and precision in back of the work
of this man and an attention to pro-
portion and detail that was almost in
stinctive. No wonder his designs have
lived to be admired and extensively
used in modern houses, lending an air
of grace, delicacy and charm to
present-day homes of Georgian in
spiration.

Dorothy Dix Says
Children Are Like Potter's Clay,
So Molding Must Be Steady.

Train a child in the way it shall 90,
and when it is old it will not depart
from it." We have Divine authority
for that statement. And psychologists
tell us that the pattern of child's life
is set by the time it is years old.
FATHERS and mothers determine
just exactly how their children
shall treat them. If they spoil them;
if they overindulge them; if they do
not control them or teach them to
respect and obey them; II they make
doormats of themselves, their children
will trample over them. But. on the
other hand, If they bring up their
children to reverence them. to look up
to them and to be guided by them.
and II they inculcate in them the
right principles Of living, their chill
dren will be a crown Of glory to them
The other day I saw a child Of
biting and kicking his mother and
screaming insults at her and she took
it meekly. You do not have to be
q prophet TO know that when that
child is grown he will kick her out
of his way and send her to the poor
house rather than support her.
Yesterday a mother came weeping
to me with a story of her daughters
ingratitude She said her daughter
accused her of running her life by
spelling her SO that she had never
been able to get along with anybody,
and now her third husband had left
her and she was down and out, poor
and homeless Think Of her talking
to me that way" said the mother,
when never crossed her in her life.
There is nothing 50 terrible as the
ingratitude Of children"
Every father and mother settle how
their children are going to treat them
when they are grown while they are
babies in the cradle. What they SOW.
they reap. 1t is for them to decide
what the harvest shall be.

that of Chippendale, which was the
fashion at the time. and because it so
definitely became part of the classic
idea that the Brothers Adam, or the
Adelphi as they were called, were in
the process of introducing to fashion,
lures.
Like so many other works published
at the time, it is quite possible that
George Hepplewhite did not originate
all the designs in his book They were
probably compilation of the designs
in use at the time, but they are dis
tinct in one respect, that they are all
good working drawings. exquisite in
detail, completely practical and from
which he undoubtedly made furniture
This was not true Of Chippendale's
book, and those of some others of the
day, which contained many fantastic
ideas which could never actually be
made as drawn.
HEPPLEWHITE is noted for the ex-
treme delicacy of his designs. His
chairs are famous for their shield and
heart-shaped backs and their un-
usually slender legs delicately f1uted or
reeded. Most of his furniture, espe-
cially OF the later years, was inlaid
and painted rather than carved. and
1t was his influence that definitely es-
tablished the fashion for light -colored,
beautifully teXtured woods rather
than the usual mahogany.
SatinWood or tulipwood made de-
lightful panels on his tables and
sideboards, which were painted with
sprays Of flowers or classic medal
lions. Ebony was used for delicate
inlay banding the tops and drawers of
tables and cabinets. Harewood, which
he made popular. was the name given
to sycamore that was dyed in oxide
or iron solution. by immersing it in
rusty water, until it acquired soft,
grayish brown color which was an
interesting contrast to the deep red
brown of mahogany. The later work
of Hepplewhite when he used the
painted medallions on satinwood CO.
incides with the ideas of the Brothers
Adam at the peak OF their fame in
ITO.
The beautiful religious groups of
Madonnas and angels, the classic
Grecian dancing groups, as well as
the painted trophies and decorative
medallions were executed by the
famous Italian artists of the day. An
gelica Kaufman and her husband,
Antonio zucchi; Pergolesi and Cipri-
ano. These same artists decorated
the interiors of the famous Adam
houses on the Adelphi terrace in
which the Hepplewhite furniture was
used.

much of the furniture of this

yer. The other day splen-
did young man who is mar
- ried to a fine girl was in my
Office. and after We had transacted
our business I asked him in a jocular
way why they had not had child
and told him that I would like to see
them have children to carry on his
family name. He replied very Sc
riously that he and his wife would
like to have children and that they
had talked it over many times, but
that the way children treat their
parents nowadays made them feel
doubtful as to whether it was worth
while, although they would like their
name to go on after they had passed
away. His remark gave me much
pause. Is the present-day. so-called
freedom that modern youth exacts not
only wrong to themselves and their
parents, but also a wrong in that it
denies existence to future youth? Is
there not a close connection between
these demands of freedom and the as
founding decline in the birth rate?
And is not one of the reasons for that
decline the present-day fear Of newly
weds that if they have children those
children will accord them the same
treatment that they accorded their
own parents? A FRIEND.
Answer-No doubt there is child
now and then. born with distorted
mind and criminal tendencies. and
nothing that anybody can do can
save it from going to its appointed end.
But such children are rare. The
average child, born of decent people.
offers no problem Of criminology to its
parents, and there is no reason why
any man and woman should forego
parenthood for fear of the way that
the child will turn out.
That matter rests entirely with them.
Every babe is clay in the hands of its
mother and father. and if it turns out
a warped vessel this is because the
hand of the potter shook instead of
being firm and strong and steady.
There is no exception to this rule:

8 dessert size forks.

18 teaspoons.
8 dessert spoons.
8 butter spreaders.
The 18 teaspoons are needed for
many things; they can be used for
grapefruit or oranges or melon; for
fruit cup. for eggs-and so on, as
we'll as tea or coffee. OF course, this
list does not allow for after-dinner
coffee spoons so that that formality
of service would have to be dispensed
with. The dessert size forks and
knives can be used for meats and
fish, as we'll as for salad; they would,
naturally, have to be washed between
courses, in this instance. The knives
need not match the rest of the silver
if they prove too expensive; stainless
steel blades set in wood, chromium,

anything smart and unusual will do
perfectly. This is also true Of the
butter spreaders; they come in various
materials these days; crystal ones on
crystal butter plates being especially
