A Modern Adaptation

There are no cocktail tables on
the market today which are exact
copies of the same pieces In earlier
periods, and the reason is the old
sters had no such piece of furniture
in their homes. However, cocktail
tables in period design take their
characteristics and motifs from
other furniture pieces of period

or drags only. You'll detect the
difference.
First Of All,
Here Are the Dos.
At cut-in dances, follow the gen.
eral customs of your community.
Rules differ in various places. U.s.
ually a man refrains from cutting
back on the man who has Just cut
| in on him.
When leaving partner after a
cut-in thank her and be pleasant
to the other man-even if he's taken
the lght-of-your-life away from
you and you'd like to cut his throat.
If your partner wants to talk
while dancing, go ahead and talk,
but don't feel that you must make
conversation no matter what the
effort. Johnny or Jane may enjoy
the music more than mere manu-
| factured chitchat.
When you have taken a girl to a
dance make sure that she is never
left alone. It's your job to provide
her with partners-the best you can
get.
II Awkward Oscar asks you to
dance, and you can't get out of it
gracefully, follow him as best you
can for a while and try to make
Oscar think you like it. If it's SIM
ply impossible to continue ask Os-
car to get you drink of water or
to see if he can find where the draft
is coming from.
Dance with as many different
boys or girls as possible. Devoting
your entire evening to one person
may seem romantic at the moment,
but it's a road that leads straight
away from popularity.
If you've been sitting on the side
lines for some time with no invita-
ton to dance retire to the powder
room for while rather than seek
ing refuge with a group of girls
Few boys have the courage to cut
one girl out of whole herd.
Try to improve your dancing, par
ticularly if you have had trouble
getting partners. The smooth dancer
is always in demand.
And Now Come
The Dont's.
Don't go in for weird grips.
Cheek-to- cheek, brow-to-brow and
chin-to-ear stances may make you
feel sentimental, but they make you
look deformed.
Don't Immediately try your fancy
steps with a partner who is unfa-
miliar with your style of dancing.
! Give her chance to get used to
you at least.
| Don't barge down the middle of
the floor, using your partner for
interference and just daring any,
body to get in your way.
Don't let your face wear a blissful
look, even if that's the way you
feel Sit on the side lines for a
while and study the faces of the
dancers. You'll soon see how silly
a rapt and rapturous expression ap-
| pears to others.
If you must use line while dane
ing, don't pull the same stuff on
each partner. Mix it up! When
Edna and Ethel and Elsie start
comparing notes they won't think
much of you if you handed them
all the same feeble wisecrack about
"All is not cold that jitters."
Don't wind YOUR arm around your
partners neck or leave lipstick
smudges on his shirt front.
Don't neglect the chaperones OF
the guests of honor-if there are

CARAMEL BUTTER CAKE.
IL cups sugar
y cup butter
l cup milk
2l2 cups pastry flour
egg whites
y teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
l teaspoon vanilla.
When making this butter cake,
the best results are obtained with
the time-honored method of mix
ing in which butter is creamed and
sugar added gradually; then the
flour which has been sifted, meas
ured and resifted with baking pow
der and salt, alternately with milk
beginning and ending with the
-four mixture. and beating about 10
seconds after each addition of flour.
Then add vanilla and finally fold
in stiff1y-beaten egg whites as
quickly as possible.
When this batter has been turned
into well-buttered cake pans, bake
at $50 degrees F. for 10 minutes to
allow the cake to double its height,
then at 375 degrees F. for Is to 20
minutes longer. When cake has
baked for approximately this length
of time, test for "doneness." If
cake is done it will have shrunk
slightly from sides of pan, the sur
face will spring back when pressed
lightly with the finger, or, if cake
tester Is inserted, it will come out
clean.
CARAMEL ICING.
3 cups medium brown sugar
1s cup butter
a cup whole milk
l teaspoon vanilla.
To make the caramel icing, place
sugar and milk in a saucepan and
cook, stirring constantly until it
boils. When it forms soft ball in
cold water, remove from fire and
add butter. When cool, add vanilla
and beat until creamy. Frost top

Or, in other words, Get out of

-" or something to that effect. The
idea is that before the weather
turns really hot for keeps let's have
one more fling at that old favorite,
the pot roast with vegetables. AS
this takes a long time to cook and
heats the kitchen to a high degree,
it is usually regarded as a winter
dish and is allowed to sink into
oblivion during the summer months.
But with chuck roast along with rib
roast of beef ranking high among
the featured meats for this week

It last appearance. The family al
ways clamors for it, especially when
1t is prepared according to the
recipe given today with plenty of
tasty fresh vegetables and luscious
gravy. Popovers make perfect &C
compartment.
In the produce line there is little
excitement. Cherries are bigger and
q little sweeter than last week, but
still haven't reached their best
stage by any means. There are some
honeydews from South America that
seem a little better than the ones
that have been seen recently. Cali
fornia peas at a bit higher price
are especially delicious, and fiat
green beans are crisp and tender.
Both yellow and white squash are
of splendid quality. Green corn is
seen almost everywhere and is really
very good considering the distance
that it has had to travel. The lit
tie black Florida avocados seem to
epicures prefer them to the green
variety, although personally I find
one as good as the other. Aspara-
gus, of course, is going strong, and
it is well to make the most of it
while 1t is with us. And there is
deluge of red bananas!

Dear Miss Dix: I am a woman
62 years of age, with four grown
up daughters and several grand
children. What I want to know is
whether a woman has as much
chance as a man to have an affair?
And Is her reputation more Sc
riously damaged than a mans is?
There is a married man much
younger than myself who tells me
that he has fallen in love with me,
and I am tempted to listen to him,
because my husband, at the age of
20. was unfaithful to me for short
time, and ever since I have longed
to revenge myself on him by phi
landering. But when I think of do
ing so think of the disgrace that
1t would bring on my children.
They look up to me now as an
example of everything that is fine
and true and virtuous, and Won
der how I could face them if I
saw contempt for me in their eyes.
And how could I face my little
grandchildren or my old friends, who
would be shocked to death to find
out that I wasn't the clean, de-
cent woman they had always
thought I was? This is probably
the only chance I will ever have to
get even with my husband. Shall I
take it?
A WORRIED MOTHER AND
WIFE.
Answer-No. No. A thousand
times no. The wrong your husband
did you was committed so long ago
that it must seem to you that it
happened to some other woman.
Or it would seem that way to you if
you had not cherished vengeance in
your heart and kept the memory of
it alive by brooding over it.
Surely if he has not strayed off
the straight and narrow path in all
these 25 years that have gone by
his sin against you must have been
the mad impulse of a moment and
not any lack of affection for you.
Certainly he must have wiped his
slate clean by many kindnesses and
much devotion in the years you have
passed together. So earnestly en-
treat you to forget his transgression
and think no more about getting
even with him.

The Low Down
On Hickory Grove

A Teller sent me a weekly
newspaper the other day-from
down there in Senator Georges
state of Georgia. It was the
Sylvester Local, and say, the
editor there, he knows what
is going on-and especially in
Georgia.
And this here Old Roy-his
name is McGill-nobody is fool
ing him. He is telling his folks
down there some stuff about
where their money is going, in
stead Of in the bank, and he
is waking them up.
Georgia people, it costs 'em
around SO million a year for
taxes-$149.24 per family. It
takes IL million dollars for
just state pay roll.
And Georgia, I reckon she
raises maybe one million bales
or so of cotton a year. And the
whole crop-the whole shebang
at 9 cents a pound, it would
bring around As million. And IS
million, it is one-half the tax
bill.
This here McGill Teller, if I
ever get down there around
Sylvester. I'm going to drop in
and see this old outspoken goob-
er-grabber.
Yours, with the low down,

WOULD RAISE PENSION

MOntana'S old-age pension top
payment would be $65 a month,
according to terms of a bill
sponsored by Senator Simmons
of Carbon county. The bill
would amend other parts of the
welfare act, but its main fea-
ture is the proposed increase
in pension payments. At pres
ent the maximum payment in
the state is $50. The federal
government will pay half of
any monthly payments up to
$50.
Another bill before the legis-
lature would give all persons
over go years old $50 a month

for five years and were not
making enough salary to come
under state and federal income
tax provisions.

summary shows a wide field of
activity carried on in the coun-
ty for the benefit of agricul-
ture. Among some of the most
important activities are the fol-
lowing:
Crop standardization work -
the increased production of ap-
proved seed; small grains, al
falfa, crested wheatgrass and
corn resulted in eighht cooper
ators, producing 9,164 bushels of
approved small grains valued at

grass seed (the first that has
ever been produced in the coun-
ty), valued at $3.50. Two corn
variety tests we're conducted in
which the relative merits of

Lobbies are as old as the Cap
itol, but a new one has sprung
up. For want of a better name,
it has been dubbed a back
door" lobby. It is different from
most others because tits being
carried on quietly by persons
within the government who are
opposing a government propos-
Participating in the lobby are
Navy and Army officers who
do not want to see the Florida
Ship Canal and the Passama-
quoddy embarrassing projects
revived. The two projects, both
abandoned more than a year
ago when Congress refused to
appropriate funds for thei1
completion. About IA million
dollars had been spent on the
two when they were abandoned
and more than 200 million dol
lars would be required for their
completion.
They have been revived as
part of the national defense
program.
Reason for the lobby against
these proposals by Army and
Navy officials is that they feel
this money is needed for more
urgent national defense. Fur
Their, they are saying, neither of
the projects would enhance the
strength of our defense.
These military service lobby
lists, of course, supposedly are
eXpounding only their personal
views and would find themsel-
YES in an embarrassing situation
if it became generally known
which of them were working
against the proposals. That is
the reason they are using the
''back door"
The experimenters in the Ag-
riculture Department are not
bothering to deny a recent re-
port that the two price plan"
for foodstuffS had been aban-
doned. On the contrary they
are quite happy to have this
report generally believed.
Well informed sources, how
ever, say the two-price plan has
not been abandoned and that
it will again appear in a more
subtle form.
There is an old saying that
truth is stranger than fiction"
Perhaps so, but in Washington
fiction is sometimes more en-
tightening than the truth. For
instance:
In recent years the complex
tiles of life for the average
businessman have been well
known truths, but it has ap-
parently taken a fiction treat
ment of these complexities to
