Serve Honor
Guest First
At Dinner
Only Two Reasons
Why This Rule
Is Ignored
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: I recently re-
ceived a new hostess book wherein
1t states If there is only one maid
serving at a dinner, the custom of
serving the hostess first is passe!
They claim the new custom is to
start with the person to the right
OF the hostess and to continue
around the table. The two friends
with whom have been talking
about this book said that no matter
how new it was, it was incorrect and
that the hostess is always served
first regardless If there is one or
five maids serving. I would greatly
appreciate your settling the dispute
by advising which is the correct
way OF serving, or whether both
ways are permissible.
Answer: After all I.have written
on the subject!!! However, your
new book is right. In every house
that has a cook in the kitchen who
can be counted on to cook a good
meal and to dish it invitingly, there
is no excuse for the discourtesy of q
hostess who has herself served be-
fore a woman guest. The only pos
sible excuses for the hostess who
breaks into the untouched dishes Of
honor and then gives her guest Of
honor second place after herself,
are two: First, If her cook is so
inferior that the food is likely to be
charred or raw or sloppily dished.
Second, II 1t can happen that the
guest Of honor does not know how
to help herself. In either of these
cases, 1t may be best that the hostess
be given chance to try to make
the dish look more appetizing or to
show her guest how to hold fork
and spoon. Otherwise, the guest of
honor. meaning the lady who is
seated on the right of the host at
dinner, or at the right of the hostess
at woman's luncheon, has always
been, and still is, served first. The
reason why 1t is the most seriously
to-be considered rule that exists is
that 1t IS the only act of rudeness
that hostess Is ever likely to COM
init. She does not push a guest out
OF her way, or snatch anything from
her or slap her face. Therefore,
there isn't any other rudeness to
compare with that of putting q
woman guest in second place.
Among the origins Of this behavior,
several had motives Of courtesy be-
hind them, but the others have had
no such excuse.

of the
Moment

Some people have habit of sim
ply taking possession Of magazines
that are already in the hands of
others.
It's an easy habit to fall into. You
read over the other fellows shoulder,
and you grow interested, and auto
matically before you know what you
are doing, you tug at the corner Of
the magazine until it is on your lap
instead Of your friends.
But put yourself in the position
Of the one whose magazine is being
snatched away, and see how you like
it. Right in the middle of caption
under an exciting picture, the whole
thing disappears from your sight.
If you snatch back, you are called
rude If you protest verbally, you
will be told you have been looking at
the magazine long enough already.
So you usually give up and spend the
rest of the day wondering how that
caption ended.
With magazine snatchers in the
family, the best way to do is to toss
a coin for first chance at the new is
sues as they come in. And then It
would be well to have signed agree
ment about the length of time the
winner may have with his prize.
II that plan doesn't work out, then
it is catch as catch can. And the one
who catches will have to lock him.
self up with his loot until he is nm
ished with it. JEAN.

Dorothy Dix Says
Girls Should Make Boys Realize
1t Is an Honor to Escort Them

head to her oppressors she was boy
cotted by the whole gang. No pet
ting, no dates. No joyriding, one
stayed at home with Mother of an
evening.
1nasmuch as all young girls natu-
rally like the society of boys and to
dance and play around with them
and have good times, it has seemed
to them that the only thing they
could do was just to submit to the
rules that men laid down for them.
But they don't need to submit, if
they will only stiffen up their back
bones and get together. The answer
to their problem is to unionize. One
girl who won't neck or stand for
manhandling can do nothing except
be put on the black books of the
amorous youths Of her acquaintance
But If all the girls in the COM
munity refused to have anything to
do with the boys who did not treat
them with respect, there would be a
mighty polishing up of masculine
manners.
Boys would run after girls if girls
quit running after them. And we
should have courtiers instead of
roughnecks If no girl would ride
with boy who came and parked
his car in front of the gate and
honked for her and left her to climb
in by herself.
In union there is strength. If
girls would only institute a few lock-
outs against the boys who do not act
like gentlemen, and go on sit-down
strikes in their own parlors against
those who treat them with con-
descension, they would soon have
boys considering 1t an honor to take
them out, instead of a chore they
have to be paid for doing.
For girls are just as necessary to
the pleasure Of boys as boys are to
girls. Neither one can have a good
time without the other.

"Helen, did you leave the grocery
order this morning?"
"Oh, goodness, forgot"
Then you forgot on purpose.
I had to leave the house, ask Mrs.
Riley to take care of Huntley and
bring home what had to have for
lunch. I have made up my mind
that the next time you forget some
thing you are asked to do to let
you suffer the inconvenience of my
forgetting you. For instance, next
time you forget to take in the
grocery order you won't find place
set for you at the lunch table. You
forget because you want to forget"
why, mother, how can you say
such thing? I never did. just
can't help it.
II quite understand that you don t
know you wish to forget the errand,
but you do. You never forget to
order ice cream. You like it. But
If tell you to order fish you forget.
You don't like fish. You were in a
hurry this morning to get to your
club committee and taking in the
order might have delayed you two
minutes. You didn't want to hesitate
that long SO you just pushed the
order into the back of your mind
and forgot it. Just remember that
forgetting is going to be expensive
from now on. It is inconvenient
for me, but it is going to be very
much Of handicap for you all your
life if you set this habit. You've sim
ply got to stop it,
Helen had a few trying expert
ences because her mother kept her
word, but she learned finally that
her mother was correct. She had been
letting herself pretend to forget
without really taking heed of what
she was doing.
Children have many ways of de-
Tending themselves against the un-
pleasant experiences they meet with
in their association with other peo-
pie. This trait sometimes works out
well. but other times it makes trou-
BILE for them. One little girl, Emmy
did not like what her grandmother
said to her so she turned deaf ear
to her. She could not hear what
she said. Emmy, your grandmother
told you to go into the sitting room,
with your piano. Why didn't you
answer her and go?"
II didn't hear her, mother"
Emmy's hearing was perfect as far
as her hearing organs went, but she
had cultivated a deaf spot for any,
thing grandmother might say. The
worst of it was that she was soon
cultivating the same kind of hearing
for anything or any one that might
not please her. She forgot to hear.
Forgetting is a merciful provision
for suffering humanity. We must all
learn to forget, to cease to remember
the things that wound us. We must
learn to forget the wrongs that are
done us and remember only the good
we have enjoyed. That kind Of for
getting is needful, healthy for the
body and spirit.
But children must be trained in
this art of forgetting. They are not
to be too casual about it. The routine
Of life demands attention and daily
experiences will exact their toll OF
grief.

A clergyman has been advising
the women Of his congregation to
unionize in order to get men away
from their present idea that they
are doing girl favor when they
deign to notice her or take her out.
Fine idea. For II ever there was
q down-trodden class, deprived of
its lawful rights and privileges
against its will and trampled into
the dust by its overlords, it is the
modern girls who are little more
than serfs to the boys who rule
them with a rod of iron and i'm
pose their conditions upon them.
In their hearts many individual
girls bitterly resent this tyranny.
Many high-spirited girls writhe
under the humiliation of the patron
age with which they are treated by
the young men who take them out
with the air Of a grand vizer throw
ing the handkerchief to favorite
and who expect them to be filled
with gratitude for the honor that
has been bestowed upon them.
Many independent girls don't see
why they should have to do all the
telephoning, write all the letters,
make all the dates and flatter and
cajole boys into showing them any
attentions, instead Of the boys con-
sidering that the favor was the
other way about and that they
should be flattered when pretty,
smart girl found them interesting
enough to bother with.
Yet If she didn't do the accepted
thing, what was the poor individual
girl to do? She was powerless
against organized masculine society,
