by the wearers' children. To make
the effect more absurd, these

there any logical reason why We

\ Lace Cloth at Dinner 4?


Dear Mrs. Post: Is a fine lace
cloth never used on a dinner Ia
bic am business woman and
never have time to give lunch par
ties. I wish could use a fine
lace cloth. which was left to ne
by an aunt. AS a dinner cloth. but
somewhere I've also inherited a
feeling that lace was unsuitable
for dinner. Perhaps today's Gus
tom Is not so strict.
Answer: OF course you can use
lace cloth at dinner. The only
rule is against putting il over a
colored lining. If you think that
the bare table shining through the
mesh of the lace is too suggestive
of supper instead of dinner, you
can put on a white damask cloth
first and then put your lace cloth
on top of that.
