other words. that the activity and the
talent are equally widespread.
Naturally the pincipal field for
originality Of expression has been that
OF business and the public buildings,
for here there has been need and de-
mand as well as money. But the de-
velopment has not stopped within
these limits. There are two very inter-
esting designs for stadiums-that in
Los Angeles. where the Olympic games
were held in 1882, the work of John
and Donald Parkinson. and that at
the University Of Minnesota, designed
by Frederick M. March.
There are some excellent churches,
hospitals, public libraries, among the
former the Church Of ST. Joseph,

F. Lovat, and the Church of the Lady OF

the spirit Of worship. As older and
wiser critics have long since pointed
out, it is the spiritual quality in all
art that lifts it above the common
place and gives it immortality.
PERHAPS the least happy use Of the
modern idiom in this assemblage
is that for domestic uses-the home,
the school. This is. perhaps. to be
explained by the fact that the home
is vanishing factor in life today,
without foundation and stability.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When children are taught to
pass their plate to the head Of
the table for a second helping,
should they hold their silver In
their hand or rest it on the side
of the plate? c.
Here's a very important les
son for children, and I'm glad
that you are giving the lesson
when they are young. When the
plate is passed for a second serv.
ing, the knife and fork should be
put on the plate, parallel to each
other, the knife on the right, the
1ork on the lett. Inc pIaoe Oh
the knife and the tines of the
fork should be on the inside sur
face of the plate, the handles
resting on the rim OF the plate.
Both knife and fork should be
turned slightly to the right, so
that there is the minimum dan.
ger Of their being pushed off the
plate. And by the way, this Is
the same position in which the
knife and fork should be placed
at the end of a course.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
What do you suggest that my
son, aged 4 years, wear as ring
bearer at a wedding? The we'd
ding is to take place at 4 o'clock

white satin, her attendants pas
tel shades. The men will wear
striped trousers and Oxford
coats. s.
Your little son, 4 years old,
would best be dressed in white

before you decide about this,
you should ask the bride-elect if
this suits her plans, for every
wedding plan is decided by the
