NORRIS ACCEPTS
BUTLER PROPOSAL
Willing to Provide for Rejection
OF Constitutional Amend
ment by States.

r. the Associated Press.
Senator Norris, independent of Ne
braska, who wants to make it easier
to amend the Federal Constitution.
said today he was willing to provide tor
definite rejection of an amendment by
the States.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
OF Columbia University, advanced this
second idea recently TO a Senate COM
mittee which is considering the Norris
proposal
Senator Norris asked that when q
proposed amendment was to be SUBJ
mitted it be placed Oh the ballots OF
States at the next general election
and that approval of two-thirds of the
States would mean ratification.
This would take approval of consti-
tutlonal amendments away from State
Legislatures or conventions ahd would
reduce required approval from the
present three-fourths, or SO States.
Mr. Butler contended the Norris
proposal did not adequately meet the
situation or solve the problem" because
1t failed to provide for the defeat Of
an amendment as well as for its rati-
dcation."

recipe for "sucre a la creme''-maple
cream-which housewives In the prov
ince Of quebec are now studying anew
with the advent Of the sugaring sea-
son:
Take two cups Of maple sugar, chop.
ped into small pieces, and put In q
saucepan with one cup of cream. Bring
to the boil and add q piece Of butter
the size of small Egg.
Stir occasionally until the mixture
hardens sufficiently for teaspoonful
to be picked up in ball when tried
in cold water. Remove from the fire
and beat in q cool place until it be-
gins to thicken. Pour at once on but
tered plates and cut in squares while
still warm.

The Correct
at
The Table
A Knife Is Usually
Required for Any
Food on Toast.
By EMILY POST.


DEAR MRS. POST: Is it necessary
to include knife in the table set
ting to eat something served on toast?
I am thinking of creamed mushrooms
on toast.
Answer-It is always best to include
a knife If you have enough in your
service to do so. A knife should be
unnecessary, however. if there is
plenty OF cream sauce, SO that the
toast is soft enough to cut through
easily. On the other hand, it Is almost
impossible to cut through an egg bene-
dict, which has an English muffin for
its foundation-as well as a slice of
ham-without knife.
\ \ X 4
nEAR MRS. POST: At very large
tea given by an organization the
tea equipment was Of the best; in fact,
of very handsome silver. But at the
other extreme, they served paper nap
kins instead of linen ones. Wasn't
this improper?
Answer-Correctly, the napkins
should have been Of linen on such an
occasion. The probable reason why
they were Of paper is that they were
not able to supply sufficient number
Of linen ones.
X X \ II
nEAR MRS. POST: Is it improper
to have lighted candles on a
luncheon table when the room would
have to have some auxiliary lighting
anyway? The candles would make the
table so much prettier than the side
lights.
Answer-It Is quite correct to have
candles on the luncheon table when
their light Is needed to see what is OIL
the table. But when the room has
plenty of daylight, candles are in
correct.
DEAR MRS. POST: Cd How does
one introduce new husband to
friends who do not know that there
has been a marriage and who do not
know my married name? Also ca
How are friends greeted from across
the restaurant floor?
: Answer-O Say "My husband
and then pause and add, "FIis name
is John JONES'" (2) A woman bows
and smiles whether to man or to a
woman. A man bows to q man, but
he should half rise in his seat as he
bows to q woman.

YEAR MRS. POST: Recently we
received q wedding invitation
from relative and this was addressed
to "Mr. and Mrs. and Family"
We have no family at home any more.
Our two daughters and two sons are
all married, have children, and live
within few city blocks Of us. Do
you suppose the invitation means all
Of us and the grandchildren, too?
Answer-One of the objections to
an invitation addressed to 'Mr. and
Mrs. and Family" is this very fact
Of uncertainty as to who the term
family Is meant to include. Strictly
speaking, the family in this sense Is
usually supposed to include all those
living under one roof But where. as
In your case. members Of your imme-
diate family are living nearby and
none Of them are living with you, then
you would be quite right in assuming
that It must be meant to include all
your children and grandchildren. On
the other hand, II unmarried children
were still living In your house, there
would be question Of whether your
married children were invited or not.

WCA lIdlilcu luILlCuTe maker. he
first made his home on Broad street,
the furniture maker district" later
made several other moves, and finally
settled on Partition street (now called
Fulton) in 1795. Some guiding angel
must have assisted him in his choice
Of this location, as it had much to do
with his later prosperity.
The struggle was intense for the
next few years, and it was not until
fortunate meeting with members of
the Astor family that Duncan Phyfe
was able to reach the type of GUS
toners who would appreciate and pay
for his kind of furniture. The ever
increasing wealth of the business men
in New York was evident by the i'm
posing brownstone, brick and marble
ediflces which they built on lower
Broadway. They found that the fur
niture Of Duncan Phyfe was correct
in scale and design for these new
homes, and their keen eye for value
appreciated the fine workmanship and
finish. 1t was not long before Phyfe
became the fashion" He was able
to furnish these houses from drawing
room to kitchen, for he made ironing
boards, kitchen stools and servants
beds, as well as sofas and banquet
tables in his factory.

strategic position for business, with all

Manners

Moment

IN THE clubs and hotels there is
usually public radio nowadays.
And. I'm sorry to say, there is usually
. public radio hog, too.
She or he is much more difficult
TO handle than a radio hog at home.
At home you can just pull hair or
tip up chairs. But in a hotel lobby
you have to be more polite. You
probably want to keep your room.
You'll do better, no doubt, to wear
veneer, at least, of courtesy. You
might say: There's program COM
ing on at $3.50 which I'd like very
much to hear. I wonder if you would
mind turning it on for me-" Usually
the radio hog will respond. His main
desire seems to be to control the dial.
All you have to do is to give him as
signments.
OF course, he may refuse on the
grounds that he wants to hear an
other program. In that case you'll
have to give up and go out for a walk.
But you might try beating him to
the radio tomorrow night. It's your
only chance. JEAN.

love too seriously, and that will enable
both of you to love the same girl
without any complications or hard
feelings. Just try to realize that the
mere fact that you have both chosen
the same object for your affections
proves that you are In the embryonic
state in which you have no indi.
viduality Of taste or Judgment.
You have to conform to the general
pattern. You have to wear the same
Kind Of clothes that the other boys
wear. play the same games, eat thu
same food, go to the same places and
rush the same girls. That Is why
you and your friend have fallen for
the same sweetie, and probably the
reason she can't choose between YOU
is that you are 50 much alike that
she can't tell one from the other.
But am glad to hear that you feel
that you have an obligation to your
parents that makes you hesitate 90
marry while still In your teens and
while you have no way Of supporting
wife. There is nothing more das-
tardly and contemplate that young
people can do than to get married
before they are able to even make a
living for themselves and dump their
husbands or wives and babies on their
poor old parents. The "old-fashioned
social law" as you call it, that de-
mands that a man shall be able to
meet his own responsibilities before
he marries is one that I trust will not
be scrapped.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX have a
couple Of married friends who
make everybody very uncomfortable
and embarrassed by doing their pet
ting in public. Even at a party they
can't get through an hour without
rushing into each others arms and
kissing which is, of course, nauseating
to all beholders. They justify it by
saying that they are married and they
love each other. I am so fed UP with
it that don't think I can stand it
much longer. What do you think?
DISGUISED.
Answer-Methinks they do profess
too much, and would like to bet doll
lars to doughnuts that instead of bill
ing and cooling at home they bite each
other.
Husbands and wives who really love
each other don't feel called upon to
give public exhibitions of their affec-
ton and advertise their devotion. They
prove 1t by unobtrusive little acts Of
consideration. Most of the husbands
and wives who darling" and "sweet-
ums" and precious one" each other in
company fight Like cats and dogs when
in the bosom Of the family, and hurl
insulting epithets at each other.
Anyway, a public display Of affec-
tion Is always in bad taste and shows
a lack Of refinement and an utter dis
regard Of the feelings of others. Pet
ting parties should be strictly private
affairs. DOR1oTHEY DIX.

little Of the actual work himself, but
the designs were his: he interviewed
each customer personally and super
vised intimately each detail as 1t
progressed through the shop.
The publications of the great furni-
ture designers were at his disposal
These combined with his personal good
taste and unusual ability at the bench
were the main reasons for his sue
cess. Though Chippendale's Director"
was out Of date, its lessons We're we'll
known to him. The Hepplewhite
Guide" and the Sheraton Drawing
Book" were his greatest inspirations.
In the early days he made exact
copies Of the designs of these men;
later he modified these to patterns
which were distinctly his own. His
innate good taste smoothed out over
elaborate curves and repressed orna-
mentation, to produce exquite furni-
ture that Is cherished today. It was
the last fine towering" before furni-
ture design succumbed to the de-
cadence of the latter part Of the 1sth
century.
Toward the middle of the century
England was in the throes Of a rage for
English Empire" furniture and
France labored under the style of the
"Directoire." There have been occa-
sionally good pieces of both Of these
styles, but with taste running to lavish
ornamentation and gorgeousness 1t was
all too easy to overdo. Phyfe was per-
suaded to similar designs by the de-
mands Of his customers, but, artist
that he was, he would not make furni-
ture without charm, and even his later
pieces in the Empire tradition are
trimmed and simplified-the best Of
the period.
DUNCAN PHYFE'S early chairs were
directly inspired by Thomas sher-
atom. Their delicate reeded legs and
fine square backs are masterpieces Of
design and workmanship. Later he
used the rolling back rail carved in
low relief and the curved front leg OF
French Directoire inspiration. He
worked from Sheraton's English EN-
pire designs and the Adams classic
patterns. He used the best that came
to him from all the masters, and In
his hands they became fused with his
own ideas. The sofa with the roll arms
and the curved leg we know as his;
the dining table with the urn-shaped
pedestal above three legs. the small
writing, sewing and toilet tables all
combine his ideal of practically, good
lines and comfort which must have
been joy in day when it was the
fashion to be artificial. -.
In 1847 Phyfe retired and in 1854
died in his home on Fulton street. His
life bridged the so years from the
golden age Of cabinetmaking to the
collapse Of good taste which character
lied the later years Of the 18th CEN
tury, with its political, social and eco
nomic changes. Phyfe was the first
great American furniture maker and
designer. He interpreted the fashion
OF gay society abroad for this strug-
Cling hard working getting rich =
quick" Nation. If he could have lived
bit longer he might have been able to
guide us through the dark ages which
soon followed.
