Etiquette
and
Manners
Bv Mrs. Cornelius BeecknaGr

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When setting a table, how
would you arrange the silver
for the following: a fruit salad
to be served alone, then ice
cream and cake?
No knife is required. Should
the forks go on the right or
left of the plate under the
above circumstances? M.
There are several ways in
which you could place the silver
pieces for this service. Many
hostesses place a knife at the
right, even if the knife is not
strictly required. Increasingly
many people like to eat a salad
with a knife as well as a fork.
If the household hadn't salad
knives, the luncheon knife and
fork might properly be used.
If no knife is placed, the salad
fork or any medium-Sized fork
may be placed at the left of the
plate, and the dessert spoon, or
tea spoon, for the ice cream,
placed at the right Of the plate.
If the cake is Of a kind that re-
uuires a fork, this fork might be
placed at the left Of the plate
nearest the plate.
Or the silverpiece or silver
pieces for the salad might be the
only one on the table, and the
desert spoon and fork be brought
in on the dessert plate.
Or the knife and fork for the
salad might be at the place, and
above the plate Gas in the Euro
pean fashion, might be the des-
sert spoon with the handle to
the right) and the dessert fork
with the handle toward the
left).
Mrs. Beeckman will be glad
to answer questions on Good

Tomato Salad
With Asparagus

Skin and scoop out the toma
toes and set in the refrigerator
for three to four hours before
serving. Cook the asparagus in
salt water, drain and let cool,
When ready to serve, arrange
the lettuce on a salad dish,
place the tomatoes on it, cut the
asparagus three inches in length
from the blossom and set up
right in the tomatoes. Pour
over it some mayonnaise.
Beefste0k
In Casserole
Fry in butter a two-pound
round steak one inch thick;
sprinkle the meat with flour to
which salt and pepper has been
added. Brown the steak quickly
on both sides. Place the meat
in a casserole dish and brown
two tablespoons of flour in the
butter left in the pan. Add
water and let come to . boil.
Pour over the meat and cook
slowly until done: If the onion
flavor is liked, brown onions
first and add to the meat. The
toughest steak will become ten
der and delicious by this method.
German
Cream Cake
Three eggs, cup granulated
sugar, 11a cups flour, 2 table
spoons cold water, a teaspoon
baking powder. This is enough
for two cakes baked in piepan,
to be split while warm, spread
ing the hot custard between
them, or for four cakes baked
in jelly-cake pans, with the hot
custard spread between them,
the latter being the preferable
plan. For custard, boil nearly
/ pint sweet milk, mix 2 table
spoons of cornstarch with a
half teacup sweet milk, add 2
well-beaten eggs; when the milk
has boiled, add nearly a cup
sugar and add gradually corn
. starch and eggs, stirring brisk
ly; add a half cup Of butter,
stirring until dissolved: flavor
with teaspoon vanilla and
spread between cakes while hot.

They'll Get
Over IL

Your girl friends resent your
divided interest. 1t is always
that way with girls. Soon they
will all have boy interests and
want to go out in groups with
you, but until that happens they
will be a little sore at you for
being the first to attract a male.
In answer to your second queS-
ton, the boy probably got tired
of trying to carry the whole
burden of entertaining you for
the evening. I don't know why
1t would be wrong for you to
simply say come again some
time" just as you would say to
any guest. Or if you had any
ideas at ali, you could even sug-
gest good times for the future
that would intrigue him. Just
be natural.

help me. HELEN"
Well, Helen, am not going to
advise you to snap out of your
shyness, that is one sure thing.
You are a type and should de-
velop the charm of that type,
instead of trying to be some
thing foreign to your nature.
Your efforts and struggles to
make yourself conform to set
of rules of behavior that is not
becoming to you makes you
nervous and unhappy 1t also
drives people away from you.
We Need the
Shy Variety
There are enough vivacious,
sprightly girls in the world with
out you being added to them.
We need the quiet, reserved type
who is friendly but unaSSumlng,
who can sit and listen instead
of giggling and prattling, who
can be kind and sweet instead OF
bold and demanding of atten-
ton.
Just sit back and relax, smile
your prettiest and let the other
fellow do the talking. Drift
into friendships instead of try
ing to force yourself in. Start
with a few good friends and
widen the circle. You can al
ways answer a few words when
spoken to, can be gentle and af-
fectionate toward those you
want to win.
You can gain poiSe by being
gentle and affectionate as ma.
ture intended you to be. Maybe
you won't attract attention so
fast by this method but you will
keep the friends you make.
Thinking of yourself all the
time and how people react to-
ward you makes you awkward
and bury" if you know what
! mean. No one wants to get
close because you make them
feel uncomfortable. Good luck
and let me hear from you again.
Perhaps some of my readers
can also help you by writing OF
their experiences.

Amendment to Homestead Laws
 of Alaska Passed

A bill to permit the free use of timber on public lands in flask a by churches, hospitals, and char .table institutions for fireWood, fencing, buildings, and for dom eStic purposes, passed the Senate June '. The measure had all ready been approved by the House, so now goes to the Presi- dent. Present law restricts the free use privileges to actual settlers, residents, individual min. CTS and proSpectors for miner als." Because it appaared that some of the churches, hopsitalS, and charitable institutions in Alaska are greatly in need od such timber and that the enact ment of the proposed legislation would be of material assistanc e to such organizations, no objec- tion was voiced to the bills en- actment.

The amendmsnt inserted in the bill by the Senate Committee on Territories and island posses sions provides: That any per son owing allegiance to the Unit ed States shall not be considered an alien for the purposes of this Act.

5-Year Building Program for the Bureau of Fisheries Approved
 by Congress

The bill authorizing the Bureau of Fisheries construction pro- gram over a Swear period, be- ginning July l, 1889, passed the House June 6 and pass d the Senate with an amendment on June 7th.
 The program contemplated for the Bureaus work in Alaska in- cludes fishery laboratories at Lit tie Port Waller, at Karluk, and in Southeastern Alaska, also sal mon counting Weirs, high-speed patrol boats, seagoing patrol ves- selS, vessel for use in tending the Pribilof Islands, and construc tion of buildings on the Pribilofs. The construction contemplated specifically fer Alaska is expect ed to total S950,0OO, while in ad- dition to this the bill authorizes the expenditure of $4O0,OOO for a scientic and oceanographic vessel for general Pacific operations in which Alaska will probably pro- fit much.
 Because of the amen dment made in the bill in the Senate it was necessary to return it to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendment before trans nitting it to the White House for final action.

Rapid action was had during the recent session of congress to- ward enactment of the second de ficiency appropriation bill, which among other things, makes appro priations for a number of Alaska items totaling $451,179.64 for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1888, and June 30, 1889. The bill was reported by the House Commit tee on Appropriations on June 2, and passed the House on June 8. Because of the efforts that Con- greSS was making toward early adjournment the bill was taken up the following week.
 The appropriation in the bill for air mail service from Seattle, Washington, to Juneau, Alaska, provides S1O0,0OO.OO for pay ment for transportation ot mail by air to and from Alaska and the States for the fiscal year be- ginning July l, 1888, and incre- ases the limitation for such air mail service 10 S2OO,0GO for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1889.
