Moment

Though bus drivers are among

thoroughly disguised with their lat
est trick. Instead of swerving dex-
trously up to the curbstone, where
I am standing, they stop somewhere
out in the middle of the street and
let me paddle through a couple of
Atlantic Oceans to get to them.
They didn't use to be like that.
They used to swing in to the curb
with the greatest of skill, and look
up proudly from their wheels as if
to say, Wasn't that neat?" There
was sort of rivalry between them,
to see who could make the neatest
landing. And l must say it had its
good points from the point of view
of those of us who were about to
ride. Rain or shine, we could be
sure that we didn't need to step
into mud puddle to get into a bus.
Maybe it is the war spirit which
has demoralized them. But they
seem to take no pleasure any more
In the three-point landings. And
I must say that I take no pleasure
In wading through mud puddles.

the duck itself should be at least

After the duck is plucked, cleaned
and drawn, rub little butter all
over it and put 1t in the oven, set
at about $50 degrees. You may
stuff the duck loosely with small
peeled onions and cored, peeled,
cubed apple-but this Is not neces-
sary. Now, depending upon the
size of the duck and the way the
consumer likes it, roast the bird
from II to 20 minutes.

ticklish question. Some epicures like
to eat just the breast of the duck,
have the carcass put through a press
and use the squeezed drippings as
sauce, with a little red wine added
to 1t Others like to have currant

These dainty little birds may, of
course, be split and broiled, or

opinion, mighty hard to beat when

toast, with melted currant jelly to
which red wine and butter have been
added, poured all over them.
Rub the birds with butter, and lard
the breasts with strips of bacon.

5 minutes; reduce the heat to 325
degrees, and bake them for Is min

the drippings. Before serving, re-

Close.CroppedHead
Considered Smart
ByCollege Boys
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Perhaps you'll say
that haircuts are outside the subject
of etiquette. However, its insult
ability is in question, and so I take
heart in addressing you. My son
wears crew haircut every summer,
but this is the first winter that he
has taken notion to cut his hair
short again. For school it might be
all right but how is he going to look
when he puts on his tux and goes to
dance? His father thinks we
should just let him cut it off again
II he wants to. But I feel that If
you disapprove of the crew cut and
tux combination, he might be in
fluenced before the time is too late.
Answer: What all the other boys
are doing is of vital importance
when boy is very young. But even
though your son must be IS or over,
1t would be my advice, just the same,
to, let him do as the other bows
are doing-especially in this matter
OF personal appearance. They evil
IDENTIFY think it is manly to go around
with close-cropped heads. And, since
he is old enough to wear a tuxedo
and to like to go to dances, he must
also be old enough to have some in
terest in girls. Therefore, if the
girls think this haircut in combina-
ton with evening clothes ugly or un-
suitable, they will probably bring
about change in local fashion. At
least, few remarks from them,
such as when did you break jail?"
would undoubtedly be more effec-
tive than anything you or any
older people say now.
Dear Mrs. Post: A good friend.
who is both hospitable and well-to-
do, has invited quite a big party
to spend the weekend at a large
hotel. You have written several
times to the same effect that man
may not pay a woman's hotel bill.
But I'm wondering if this case is
not an exception. Will not the fact
that there will be several married
couples in the party make 1t proper
for me to let this host pay for all my
expenses? If not, which ones should
I insist on paying?
Answer: The fact that he has
invited big party, including hus-
bands and wives, makes every diff.
ference. You accept whatever ar
rangements he has made FOR every
one, but of course not any made
separately for you alone. By this
I mean that were the others all
going merely at his suggestion but
actually Dutch treat, you would go
Dutch treat too!
Dear Mrs. Post: have received q
card to wedding reception, and my
son has also received one. Would
it be proper for me to ask for one
for my sons fiancee?
Answer-If the engagement has
been announced, or is to be an
nounced by the time of the we'd
ding, then his fiancee should be in
vited-and it would be entirely
proper to ask if you may bring your
future daughter-in-law with you.
Otherwise-unless you are a very
intimate friend-the propriety Of
asking for an invitation is question:

VENISON CHOPS.

and has met with complete approval
in my household-so I pass it along
to you for the moment when-if
your own provider doesn't take
kindly to shooting deer-some we'll
meaning friend at the club presents
him with some tasty venison chops.
Scar the chops in very hot fry
ing pan with no grease, for l to 2
minutes on each side, turning quickly
so they do not burn. Lower the
heat, and add to the chops the
contents of one glass of currant
jelly, two wine glasses of Burgundy
or Medoc, one-eighth of a pound of
butter, salt ard pepper to taste. Let
the chops simmer in this mixture for
about 6 to 10 minutes, turning and
basting constantly. Remove chops
TO hot platter and serve immedi-
ately, with the pan liquid passed in
a gravy boat.
WILD DUCK.
This is very dangerous subject
You have to know your school of
thought when going about the roast
ing of duck. Some like them done
so that the blood follows the knife
some like them cooked almost to
the consistency of a barnyard fowl.
I hold for a middle course-but, as
I say, it is all a matter of taste,
and should be studied before pro-
ceeding
Small ducks, such as teal, butter
balls, ruddies, etc, do not, of course,
require as long cooking-time as do
canvasbacks, redheads, and the
larger varieties. The important
thing to remember in all duck cook :
cry is that the oven must be hot
before the bird is put into it, and
