Manners
of the
Moment

I've never quite been able to figure
out why people put shrouds on all
their furniture in the summer time
and then try to entertain. But
maybe I'm just no housekeeper.
I know that the theory is usually
that the inhabitants are going away
for the summer and the shrouds
keep the dust from accumulating.
But it always seems to me that the
inhabitants get their furniture all
covered up with sheets and pillow
slips long before they actually do 20
away for the summer, and leave
them like that long after they come
home. And somehow as a caller
find myself constantly invited to sit
In the middle of a sheet, which so
disguises the shape of the chair that
I am not sure whether I am going
to land on a chromium arm or
down cushion.
Furthermore, a house in shrouds
with rolled-up rugs and curtainless
windows is about as pleasant place
to sit in as an abandoned cellar. It
always makes me want to get up
and 60 as soon as I have arrived.
Maybe that was the basic idea.
I don't trust that dust-protecting
theory, anyhow. JEAN.

worst. And that it should be car

And another thing. Experience

to recover. Seems that some Of the

The Pasteur treatment, if given
Immediately after the bit, has proven

Left Hand Is More

DEAR MRS. POST: What hand
does waitress use when passing
breads or anything else that is not
heavy enough to require her two
hands?
Answer-The left is correct, be-
cause it is more practical. The left
arm and wrist bend more easily to
the right.
DEAR MRS. POST: A certain
boy has taken me to three parties

chance to ask him to something.
He was unable to go. What I would
like to know is whether I should
ask him back to something else.

is doubt in my mind. I am afraid
that he might think I have no one
else to ask If I ask him again;
on the other hand, if I don't ask
him he might think I am angry
because he refused to 60 with me
the first time I invited him. I am
only 16 and do not go out with
one boy all the time.
Answer-No one is ever angry
with some one who is unable to ac-

you would ask another boy the

him again Immediately might make

People Often
Attracted
BY Type
Observations Show
Second Mate Has
Faults of First
BY DOROTHY DIX,

II you had it to do over again,
would you marry the one you did?
Probably the great majority of hus-
bands and wives would shout: No.
Never! Not on a bet, in answer to
this question. For there are times
and seasons of strain and stress in
virtually every marriage when it
seems that no other man on earth
could be so aggravating as the one
to whom you are married, nor any
woman so dumb and unreasonable
as your lawfully welded wife. Yet,
according to statistics recently gath
cred on the subject, it appears that
If you were free you would stick
your neck in the same old yoke.
Certainly observation bears out
this statement, for we have all no
ticed how often a widower's second
wife is virtually a duplicate of his
first, with the same gift for hen.
pecking and the same taste in hats.
And even those unlucky children
who have got their fingers burned
in the matrimonial fire 60 right
along and marry men and women
who have the same faults for which
they divorced their predecessors.
If still further proof were needed
Of the fact that we like our current
husbands and wives better than we
think we do, 1t is afforded by a
little story that recently appeared
in the newspapers of q community
in which it was discovered that
there was some legal flaw in the
marriage licenses that had been
issued during certain period Of
time that made them invalid. Thus
a number of couples who had
thought themselves bound together
until death should them part were
automatically set free.
At first there was great rejoicing
and breaking up of homes and many
scrappy husbands and wives began
looking around for new mates who
would be nearer to their hearts de-
sires. But after a few weeks of
freedom that didn't pan out so
hilariously as they had thought it
would; of looking over new matri-
monial prospects that didn't prove
as attractive investments at short
range as they did at long; of find
ing that life was pretty fiat without
their old familiar sparring partners,
every couple but two went back to
their old Johns and Marias and
signed up again on the dotted line.
So If we had to do it over again,
most of us would marry the ones
we did. Maybe because it is the
type that attracts us rather than
the individual. Or maybe because
we decide it is better to stand the
faults We know in our mates than
to fly to those we know not Of.
Or maybe because as we grow
older and wiser and more tolerant
we learn to balance the faults and
virtues of those to whom we are
married and find that they break
about even.
So there we are. Marriage is like
everything else We have to take
the bad with the good and try to
balance the two as well as we can.

Next time Romantic Rollo, the City
Cynic, takes it upon himself to criti-
cize your long red nails or tricky
new hat, you can turn the tables
You can, if you like, tell him that
his criticisms are strictly old
fashioned, and that scoffing at mil
linery and manicures dates him more
than dancing the Bunny Hug.
For some real fault finding, we
refer you to George Cukor, one of
Hollywood's leading directors. Mr..
Cukor, in a current movie magazine,
lists 13 faults which he feels de
glamorize" the ladies who spend
something like half million dollars
daily obtaining that charm. He is
the gentleman, not at all Incl
dentally, who directed "The Women"
"a little piece of information which
might possibly have some bearing on
the fact that he was inspired to
protect against.
'Inexcusably small tips" Says Mr..
Cukor, mot all women are guilty,
but the vast majority is, and for no
apparent reason the ble-coated
sorority is the worst offender"
"Unrestrained and slightly noisy
affection when greeting feminine
friends" Apparently the debutante
age is guilty, but many of the older
girls have not outgrown the habit.
Our critic tops his list of "peeves"
with the married women who think
it amusing to discuss their husbands
habits. Although 1t ranks second to
clothes as a lunch table topic, Mr..
Cukor finds it the most annoying
feminine fault.
Among other things, men hate
table-hopping. Let the others form
a circle around your table; don't run
over to them. A group surrounding
your chair sends your popularity
soaring as far as other men are con-
cerned, so sit still.
Learn how to receive compli-
ment gracefully. Says Mr.. Cukor,
'Too many women simper or coyly
deprecate the complimented item.
1t makes a man feel a fool, and
since men hate this feeling, your
quota of compliments is likely to
take a nose-dive."
Don't ask a man how he likes
your new dress, hair-do, nail polish
or what have you. Let him dis
cover the item for himself. If he
doesn't like it, you'll soon find out,
but Mr. Cukor claims that mascu-
line silence usually denotes ap-
proval.
Please don't discourage him by
grimly eating dry salad while he
slows away a steak. AS our

and the pleasure of memory
Chief among the jams or pre-
serves that ranked highest in our
favor at that tea table was one
made of seckel pears-golden, trans
lucent and of an incompatible
flavor and texture. I have Auntie's
recipe for 1t, which came to me In
her collection of files and cook
books when she died; here it is,
for you to start a new generation
of youngsters on their epicurean
way!
SECKEL PEAR PRESERVES
Peel and boil the pears, with a
little green ginger in cold water,
until they can be pricked easily
with a fork. Weigh the pears after
boiling, and allow pound of sugar
for each pound of fruit. Make the
sugar into syrup, with one cup
of water to each pound of sugar.
Drop the pears into the syrup, and
boil with lemon peel cut into strips,
allowing one lemon to three pounds
OF pears. When done, remove
pears, boil syrup until thick, pour
hot over the fruit in sterilized jars,
cool, and seal.
SPICED SECKEL PEARS
Wash the pears and peel them,
leaving the stems on. Boil six cups
Of vinegar with eight cups brown
sugar, two teaspoons cloves and
stick of cinnamon. Add the pears
to the boiling syrup and let them
cook until tender, but do not let
them lose shape. Pack in jars,
cover them with the syrup and
seal imediately.

8 coffee cups water.
3 coffee cups vinegar

Wash, core and quarter the crab
apples. Boil them with the vinegar,
water and spices until they are soft
as pulp. Strain through jelly bag
and add one pound of sugar to one
pint Of juice. Cook until mixture
becomes thick and sheets from the
spoon, pour into sterilized glass jars,
seal and store. Editors note: The
original recipe was very short, giving
fewer directions. so, to make it a
little clearer, I have enlarged upon
it to a certain extent. The amounts
and ingredients are exactly as given
by Mrs. Coolidge)

The first thing new that you'll
want, for now and to start the fall,
is simple, classic style like 1802-B.
It is beautifully simple and well cut,
without being severe. The skirt has
stitched pleats to keep your hips
slim and to give the dress a move
ment and grace that you want.
The e-shouldered bodice has
shirring to give you a full bustline,
q narrow roll collar to soften the
neckline and you can make the
sleeves two ways, either cut of at
the elbow and puffed, or in three
quarter style, straight and cuffed.
Both are very smart.
Moire, fiat crepe, the newly popu-
lar faille and thin wool are excel
lent materials for this stunning
dress.
