Your Table Manners
After Dinner Coffee

When dessert is skipped and a demi tasse requested, whether In @ public dining room or at the table in 6 private home, the coffee may be brought upon @ dessert plate and placed a little to the right of the cover. The rule is somewhat like that pertaining to the service and disposition of the finger bowl which comes In upon the dessert plate. Lift the coffee cup and saucer from the plate, place the dessert plate before you and set the coffee GU pand saucer inits customary position, at the right.
 On the continent cream is never served with after dinner coffee; nor is 1t in formal circles anywhere, But in America, where the tendency Is toward personal comfort, 1t is not cause for surprise if cream is rec quested at a friends house or when dining informally in hotel or res- taurant.

TESTING MUsHROOMS

It is highly important to have the mushrooms fresh and free from bruises or specks. Fresh mushrooms are white or creamy in color, firm to the touch and moist, not dry or rubbery. The short-stemmed mush- rooms are the most expensive. The food value and flavor Is just as good in the lon-stemmed varities, and these should always be bought for creaming, gravies, soup.

Kitchen Comments

To prevent cakes and cookies from drying out, place a peeled apple or piece of fresh bread in the container in which the cake is kept. This will provide just the right degree of moisture required to keep the cake fresh and light.
 When sugar or juice from pies runs over in the oven and scorches sprinkle salt over the burning sub- stance and 1t will check the smoke and odor. Be liberal in the use of the salt.
 To hasten the cooling process of custards or gelatins, set the con- tainer of hot mixture in ice water, adding ice as needed, and you win save two or three hours cooling time.
 Cheese of all kinds should be kept in cool dry place. Over loaf cheese place a thin cloth that has been wrung out of vinegar water, and the cheese will not dry out or form a hard crust.
 Never discard jelly that has turn ed to sugar. Heat 1t with half glass of water, and you will have & delicious fruit syrup to serve with French toast and pancakes.
 Add Q small pinch of baking soda to the egg whites you are beating fes meringue; 1t will always stand up high and firm when baking after removing from the oven to cool.
 If the lid of Q fruit jar sticks in- sert sharp knife beneath the lid and rubber, or run hot water oyer the top of the lid. following with cold water to shrink the metal. Bet ter still, use the newer rubbers which are provided with pull-out tab that lets the air in when pulled and makes the lid unscrew easily.
 Work flies by on wings in the kitchen where there is a little radio, right at hand where the housewife can tune in on the morn- ing programs devoted to food and good advice about running q home. If you haven't one, hint for 1t. The man of the house will be sure to see the logic and the economy of keeping you happily busy at your tasks,
