Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckn0n

,
Dear Mrs Beeckman:
My best friends daughter is
to be married this summer and 1
would like to have a shower for
the young lady. Will you please
give me an idea as to decora-
tions and what to serve, color
scheme, and so forth? I will
have about twenty at the shower.
F.
1t isn't necessary to have any
unusual or elaborate decorations
for a shower. And it isn't neces-
sary to plan any sort Of enter
tainment, for the chief enter
tainment of the party is the
opening of the packages and
display of the gifts. However,
sometimes the shower is in the
form of a bridge party. Or it
may be a luncheon, or an after
noon tea, or evening party.
Guests at the luncheon or tea
party are usually women. If an
evening shower is given, the
guests may be women, or the
women may be asked to come
say at 8 o'clock, and the men at
$50. E. After the men arrive,
refreshments are served, and
then there may be bridge or
dancing.
If your shower is a tea-party,
you serve tea-things: thin,
assorted sandwiches; small cakes
or layer cakes or slices of fruit
cake, tea, with coffee as an alter
native, if you like; nuts, candies.
Ice cream or cut fruits or fruit
salad may be served.
For an evening party you
might serve chicken or tuna fish
with hot rolls or biscuit; or
chicken a la king on toast and
then fruit salad or ice cream
and coffee.
The color scheme for your
table might charmingly and ap-
propriately be white and pink.

Have
Interesting
History

You'd scarcely imagine when
slipping on a new pair of gloves
hcw much history hovers
around these casual articles Of
apparel. The very word has its
derivation romantically in the
Belgic word gheloove, which
"faithfulness," because gloves
were a testimony Of faith.
Gloves were often gifts of love.
Once the ceremonial of gloves
was SO elaborate and general
that every grade of society was
in some measure under its rule.
Gloves protected the business
Of merchant or peddler. They
were a general pledge of secur.
ity.
Gloves conveyed defiance
from one king to another.
They had also a tender mean.
ing and were chosen as a token
Of faith between lovers.
MANY INTERPRETATIONS
On the bench, in the court Of
laws, they denoted probity.
In the church the glove de-
noted purity.
A knight wore a dainty glove
in his helmet to remind him Of
his absent "dearling."
And, of course, ladies Of the
haute monde wore the most en-
trancing and enchanting gloves
imaginable.
"Gloves of Antiquity" men
tions gloves in the Bible, in the
Book of Ruth.
Gloves we're worn by the Is
raelites, solely by men of rank.
Mural paintings Of Thebes
show gloves as a part Of the
Kings raiment.
Xenophon, at the end of the
eighth Book of Cyropedia, COM
plains of the unwarranted ele-
gance of the Persians, that they
not only wore umbrellas over
them in summer and in winter;
not satisfied with ordinary
clothing, but have coverings
made of hair for their hands
and fingers.
Chaldeans defined gloves in
their dictionary.
FOR PROTECTION
Pliny speaks of an amanuen-
sis who wore gloves upon his
hands in winter, lest the severity
of the weather should let him
loose anything"
Homer m e n tions LaerteS
father of Ulysses, in retirement.
while gloves received his hands
to shield them from the thornS."
Miss Elsie de Wolfe and Mrs.
Menken were not the first to
wear gloves at the table. A
celebrated Roman glutton came
to the table in gloves so that
he might be able to handle and
eat the meat while hot, and so
devour more than the rest Of
the company.
The Christians at the end Of
the first century considered the
wearing of both shoes and gloves
(hairy coverings for feet and
hands,, as shameful to persons
in perfect health. But even
cavemen wore gloveS-posSibly
100000 years ago-according to
Prof. Boyd DankinS.
So we really have an instinct
about gloves and can justify
all of their uses, even that OF
pure decoration, by studying
the costumes of the ancientS.

BEAN CASSEROLE
Combine one quart of kidney
or lima beans soaked and cooked
in salted water until tender,
with four carrots finely chopped
and two stalks of thinly sliced
leeks. Heat with one pint Of
canned tomatoes for about 10
minutes, and season with salt
and one-half teaspoon of pap
rika, and one tablespoonful Of
sugar. Lay in the bottom of a
buttered casserole one cupful Of
diced, leftover beef or lamb,
sprinkle it with salt and pepper,
and pour over it the combined
vegetables. Cover with butter
on top and cook until the
vegetables are tender.
OYSTER PLANT SALAD

salt and pepper, and arrange
like asparagus. Serve with
mayonnaise or French dressing.

peppercorns, a bit Of cinnamon.

and white pepper and strain
through a cheeSecloth. Return
to the soup pot and add a cup
full of spaghetti, which has been
broken into small pieces. Cover
the pot and set it where the
soup will only simmer for an
hour. If you follow these direc-
tion5 you will have spaghetti
with fine mellow flavor.

half inch thick, sprinkle with
salt and paprika and fry in but
ter until light brown on both
sides, and then place on a dish,
and keep warm. stir two table

pint of White Wine and cup Of
water. Now cut up in dainty
pieces one carrot, a quarter OF
celery root, one small beet, and

butts. The vegetables must be
cooked very tender; then put in
the veal schnitzel and cook
slowly for Is to 20 minutes.
Serve the meat, gravy and vege-
tables on one platter. The gravy

fine dish.

Less frequently. husbands
write of a lack of appreciation
on the part of their wives. They
say: How can I make a success
OF nv life and get on, If my
wife has no confidence in my
ability?" Then then tell OF
some frienC. no more gifted
than themselves. who has been
tremendously successful in ousl'
ness because his wife had conf
dence in him and showed him up
the ladder of success with many
a wifely boost.
UNFAIR RULES
To use a maddenlng plaH'
tude: Aren't there faults on
both sides? Marriage is not
game of solitaire, and the parry
of the first part-whoeVer IL
may happen to be-cannot ex-
pect to play lone hand ana
capture all the trumps.
No woman can put any heart
into inspiring a man and per-
suading him how wonderful ne
is. that a yearly raise in salary
Is only his just due and that
partnership is waiting just
around the corner, if he treats
her like just another house
hold gadget.
Pigmalion inspired the craven
image to come down off ner
pedestal. but it can't be done
In everyday life. No woman
can do the job of telling a man
how wonderful he is if he only
srunts a yes, yes, I know"
If these husbands want ap-
probation at home and not
from some other woman, 1t
wouldn't be a bad idea to re-
vive some of the pep of their
courting days. And they should
not kiss their wives as if they
felt now that's off my mind"
Or, when they give them a
check for the household eX'
penses, they should not assume
the lordly air of laying a
Kohinoor diamond at their feet.
Please remember that the poor
girls may have to do a lot OF
stretching to make the check
cover actual household expenses,
and it may not even cover bus
fare, or buy postage stamps to
write the folks at home.
IT'S HER FAULT
Sometimes it's the lady wife
who is an understudy for the
frigidaire. When the husband
comes home, expecting at least
an appreciative kiss, the wife
offers the rim of an ear, so as
not disturb her makeup. Or, she
may take refuge in silence dur
ing dinner, and have an air of:
why did l. ever marry this per-
son. If I hadn't, I might be
spending the winter in Florida
or taking a tropical cruise"
There are men, as well as
women, who starve for tender
ness. And men, as a rule, are
even more sentimental than
women unless submitted to the
dry ice treatment.
It's too Dad that so many
marriages, which started out
well, and which might be happy,
lose all their romance and sweet
ness and develop into nothing
but a sort of endurance mara
thon. In the majority of cases,
it's the husband who forgets his
love-making more often than the
wife, and by his utter boredom
makes it impossible for her to
love and inspire him with that
confidence in himself. which
leads on to success.

Clothing Workers
Urge Labor Peace

Atlantic City, N. j. QLNS).-Labor

ten in a resolution uttered in speeches
by members, and reinforced by the ad-
dress Of Mayor La Guardia of New
York
"We cannot criticize industry for
unfair competition when our own
family is divided" La Guardia said.
Labor must set the good example of
intelligent leadership by adjusting its
differences, getting together and say
ing, we are ready to negotiate The
very first responsibility of labor is to
get together in one big united fam
ily."
The resolution approving the efforts
of their officers to get together with
the A. +. of l.. and urging that those
efforts to continue was passed unani-
mously.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
union, speaking in favor of the res
olution, said that peace in the labor
movement must mean approval of the
industrial form of organization in the
mass production industries.
Fascism and naZism were denounced
in resolution which warned that this
country is not immune to encroach
ments.
The convention opposed present
changes in the National Labor Rela
tions Act, and supported the pending
bill which would require employers
with government contracts to comply
with the terms Of the Federal labor
act.

Washington, d. G.. (ILNS).-Chair-
man Wagner of the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee has joined
the opposition to proposed government
loans to railroads in the face of pro-
jected Is per cent wage reduction.
Wagner's committee had under con-

equipment and to re-employ workers
furloughed since September 1, 1887.

World Coal Mine
Employment Below
Pre-Wur Standard

Geneva (ILNS).-Employment in
the worlds coal mines, which fell
about 20 per cent between 1927 and
1888, is still about 13 per cent below
the pre-war level, says an 1nterna-
tional Labor Office report on "Social
Conditions in the Coal Mining Indus
try" submitted to the World Coal
conference when it opened here in May.
Modelled upon the lines of the World
Textile Conference, held by the In
ternational Labor Organization in
Washington last Spring, the coal con-
ference had as it's purpose "the con-
sideration of the question of reduc-
tion of hours Of work in coal mines"
Five countres% the report shows,
employ about n cent Of all the
workers engaged in coal-mining. These
are: Great Britain, the United States,
the U. S. S. R., Germany and France.
In 1885, the latest year for which
complete statistics are available, says
the report, the total of workers en-
gagged in coal-mining in Great Britain
was 769,474; in the United States,
565,202; in the U. S. S. R., 492,90O; in
Germany, 3S4,557; and in France,
222,565.
Japan had 175,137; India, 179,152;
Belgium, 120,613; Poland, 69,734;
Czechoslovakia, 42,667; the Neither
lands, 26,957; the Union of South
Africa, 2S,9O0; and Australia, 1888.
The total number of coal-miners
employed in the above Ia countries in
1913, is estimated at over 100000.
During the World War, it says, this
figure was greatly reduced; but i'm
mediately after the war there was an
increase in all countries except the
L.. S. S. R.; and by 1920, the total
employed had risen to more than A.
100000. Between 1920 and 1927,
there was little change; but, in 1927,
the total declined to about 100000.
After that, continuous and rapid
fall occurred in nearly all countries;
and by 1888 the total was down to
100000. Thus, in six years, about
100000 miners, or 20 per cent of the
total employed, had been deprived of
Jobs.

On Capitol Hill
BY GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, D. G. QLNS).-Every
now and then, some member Of Con-
gress gets up and gives his colleagues
a lesson in economics. In the House,
this is quite likely to be "Davy John"
Lewis, Of Maryland: whose summing
up of what Supreme Court decisions
have cost the U. S. Treasury remains
an unanswered classic. In the Senate,
it is pretty likely to be "Young Bob"
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, whose re-
cent speech on the proposed railroad
wage cut should warm the cookies of
the heart of every worker, on rail-
roads or off.
"The proposal to reduce wages of
employees at this time is not justi-
fied," said Young Bob. "In the first
place, railroad wages are not high.
In the second place, railroads cannot
be saved either by increases in
freight rates or by decreases in wages,
so LONG AS THEIR OUTMODED
AND NDEFEN SIBLE DEBT
S TR U CTU RE REMAINS UN-
CHANGED. The railroads are not suf
fering from high wages :. primarily
their difficulty results from their long
practice of floating more and more
bonds and from their failure to retire
their bonds"
The capital are mine
x < x
LaFollette goes on to give the
hourly rates of pay for railroad main
tenance of way workers. He points
out that in 1887, there were $4,000
railroad workers who got $73 month
or less. He shows that some rail
roads are so deeply in the hole that
if their employees worked for nothing,
those roads could not make up their
fixed charges. And then he gives
series Of figures, showing the ratios
between wage payments and debts
thing that never have seen before,
and l am an old stager in railroad
statistics.
"In 1926, the railroads had funded
debt ,76S per employe. In 1885,
the latest year for which data is avail
able, the funded debt per employe had
increased to $10,369, an increase
of 117.5 per cent.
"For each dollar received by the
employees in 1920, the railroads had
funded debt of $2.62. This debt in
creased to $6.27 in 1885, an increase
of 139 per cent.
"For each dollar paid in interest
in 1920, the employees were paid $7.73
in wages. This ratio in 1886 had
dropped to 1884"
X X X
These are only samples. The speech
profoundly affected the Senate, and of
that l can give but one sample. SEN
ator Truman of Missouri rose and
said:
81 wish to say to the Senate
that if the railroads had informed
the committee which worked on
the legislation now pending that
a wage reduction was part of the
program. THE PROPOSED LEG
ISLATION WOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN INTRODUCED"
Again the capitals are mine. Tru-
man was member Of that committee.

If you want to know whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt's court plan has had
any effect or not, note this:
At it's latest session, the Supreme
Court upheld the NLRB for restor-
ing strikers to their jobs.
Try to imagine the Supreme Court
doing that when Former Justice
Sutherland, the gent who knocked out
the minimum wage in the Adkins
case, represented the majority.
