BY EMILY POST,

Dear Mrs. Post: How are hque..

dinner? Are they brought in on tl,o
tray with the coffee and are they
supposed to be drunk with the coffee
or afterward
Answer-Liqueurs are never put
on the coffee tray. They are put
on tray by themselves (two or
three or four bottles, or nqueur
decanters and a row of little glassesJ
and proffered as soon as the coffee
has been passed. If you have only
one tray. on which the coffee is
passed, this same tray could, of
course, be used first for coffee and
then reset with liqueurs. But if
you make coffee in the living room.
then separate and smaller tray
for liqueurs would be necessary.
Dear Mrs. Post: ID Our pro-
fessional club is giving a tea in
honor of one Of the national Off
GERS who is coming to pay us a.
visit This mans wife is coming
with him although she has no active
part in his work as national Off
Ger. Should the invitations be sent
out in his name alone as the guest
Of honor, or should we, in respect,
print that the tea is in honor of
Mr.. and Mrs? (2) In case his
wife's name is not included on the
invitations, should she be asked
to receive? What should be the
order of the receiving line?
| Answer-The tea should be given
in honor of him and his name alone
appear on the invitations 1t would.
however, be courteous to include
his wife in the receiving line. In
this the chairman of the entertain
ment would, of course, stand nearest
to the door of entrance, then the
guest of honor, then his wife and
then another officer of your club.
Or, if preferred. an officer of the
club might stand between the hus-
band and the wife.

I should learn fancier things than

the following letter and recipe:
DEAR MRS. CASWELL:
Il am taking the liberty OF
sending you the inclosed recipe
which fell out of my aunts old
recipe files when going through
her papers after her death. 1t
brought back to me vividly one
OF the most narrowing experiences
of my career. and I thought you
might be interested in it from the
human trials and tribulations angle
as we'll as adding another old
timer to your collection of recipes
When I was about II years old
was sent, as usual, to visit MY
aunt who lived in the country. In
those days often we youngsters were
'farmed out on various relations
when something of great import
was going on at home-such as the
advent of new baby.
"Auntie was decidedly of the old
school. Housekeeping was of para
mount importance to her. and she
felt that it should be the same
supreme interest to every girl and
woman from the time they were
old enough to clutch doll. I re-
member she always had little
closet fixed for me, filled with min
iature pots, pans, cakes of soap.
dish towels, etc. I was expected
to play house from morning till
night, and woe betide me if I neg
lected to put all of my dolls cere-
moniously to bed. AS I had 10
dolls, that became pretty much of a
chore-and sometimes I tried to
escape it, but never had any luck
with Auntie on the job.
"On the particular visit which
mention, Auntie became fired with
the ambition to make me learn to
cook. didn't like cooking, and
wasn't interested, but dutifully
went through all the lessons on

mind. He couldn't see that there
was any percentage in a girl being
walldower when she might just
as well be stepper-out if Ahe only
knew how to do it. So he began
educating his girls heels as we'll as
their heads.
In addition to his staff of high
browed teachers he hired experts
who taught the girls how to be
beautiful though homely; how to
acquire stringbean figures and i'm
prove their compilations by diet
and exercise; how to dress so as
to make the best of their good
points and camouflage their de-
fects; how to put on makeup so
is would look glamourous instead
of like painted-up barn doors: how
to walk and sit ands stand and
dance.
And the result has been to trans
form horde of nondescript, ig-
norant girls into sophisticates, and
to save many of them from a fate
as cruel. as death to a woman
that of being doomed to always sit
on the sidelines and being over
looked, while other girls get all
the fun and snare all the husbands.
Now that is my idea of a real
college for girls. Give them all of
the classical education they crave,
but teach them also some of the
things that women really need to
know and on which their happiness
and success in life depends. Teach
them how to be easy on the eyes
and to make the most of such
pulchritude as they posses. Teach
them how to dress, how to dance,
how to play games so they will not
be misfits in any company. Teach
them how to carry on an easy and
gay conversation and how to show
interest and enthusiasm in people
and things whether they are really
crazy about them or not.
Teach them how to be gracious
and charming in their manners so
that they may make friends for
themselves and their husbands
wherever they go. Teach them how
to cook and make a comfortable
home and how to run q budget so
they can get the most out Of the
money they spend. Teach them
how to be good mothers and, above
all, teach them how to handle the
men to whom they are married
with tact and discretion and tender
ness and humor 30 that they can
avoid messy divorces and scandal.

1t doesn't matter, he explained, just
how or why you adopt an up-trend,
for the up-trend has now come to
mean anything that is of the neck
line.
The second creator of coiffures
spoke very much along the same
lines, adding that the upsweep is
now an indication rather than
reality. He explained that the ex-
treme styles are definitely out and
the ideal is scuptured look. Hair
is going to be shorter than it was,
sometimes brought over the ears, and
bangs will be an important feature. :"
Both agreed that the uptrend can
be symbolized by the suggestion of
height in front or on the sides-and
the scalped look is not to be desired
When the upsweep first took hold"
our first informant explained, 1T
had to be extreme to give women
the idea. There had to be a drastic
change-which was the reason for
the high-piled hair. Now that it is
an established fashion, we can be
moderate and give them attractive,
-to-keep coiffures."
Scalp Care
Important.
Both gentlemen, although not
even acquainted with each other,
stressed that one of the most i'm
portant points is proper care of the
hair. Washington women, they
feel, do not take the proper precau-
tions to keep their tresses in the
finest condition and have had the
added disadvantage of improper
treatment and cutting. Informant
No. l, recently arrived from New
York, has brought with him an
egg and oil shampoo which he
VOWS is marvellous conditioner
and has almost made it his aim in
life to do something about our poor
neglected heads. Informant No. 2.
visiting from Hollywood, declares
that 1t is more important to have
treatments for the hair and scalp
than 1t is to worry about how the
hair is going to look best-or words
to that effect. Happily for us, he
blames it on the hairdressers and
their lack of interest in the condi-
ton OF our scalps as well as our
own neglect It does seem too bad
that with all the treatments and
equipment available to make our
scalp condition excellent, we persist
IN Initiating the ladies at the turn
OF the century who wore such
elaborate coiffures that it was i'm
possible to give an intelligent care
to the scalp or hair.
So, along with your determination
to find a moderate, becoming and
thoroughly fashionable hair style
give little thought to the condition
OF your hair And as for the ques-
ton How high is up?" the answer
is, Just as high as you want it."

Some people just never give up {.
In spite of the fact that 1888
brought us more headaches than
aspirins could cure we are still de-
batting the all-important question OF
"Hair-and What do Do With It."
OF course after the first furry Of
controversy the issue simmered
down, and we resigned ourselves to
thinking that we would try to bear
looking like scalped Indians-or re-
main normal. Consequently, in the
course of events, we almost dis
missed the issue-but here it is
again. And no matter what form
1t chooses to assume the question
still looms bright-What are you
going to do about your hair? -.
However, like the bearer of glad
tidings that we are, we are happy
to report a definite improvement
in the entire situation. The outlook
is more conservative-the general
atmosphere a bit less dense. Con-
versations with leading hair stylists
lead us to believe that we have ac-
tually reached a stage of modera-
tion-a happy medium. Hence the
question that confronts us is not
"Up or Down?"-but rather How
High Is Up?" There seems to
be little doubt that the uptrend
is here to stay, but we are over
joyed to say that the severe and
unflattering upsweep has gone the
way of all inconvenient modes.
It has been abolished on the grounds
of unbecoming appearance, incon-
venience and incompatability with
all millinery. And that would be
that.
Reasons for
New Trend.
Speaking with two outstanding
hair stylists, we discovered the rea-
son for this complete about-face.
The first gentleman explained that
women, and especially Washington
women who we're interested in
careers. demanded something that
was practical, easy to keep and
adaptable to all types of millinery
This, he conf1ded, was the sensible
outlook for the average woman and
very easily Accommodated. Shaping
the hair is the most important thing,
and your coiffure can easily be
tailored to fit you and your needs.

The trouble with educating a girl
is that she needs not only the higher
education, but the middle education,
and also the lowdown on how to
catch husband. For what does it
avail a maiden to be able to speak
the dead languages If she cannot
chatter in modernese with the boy
friend. or to be able to write NJ A.
after her name If she is never
called ma?
The education of boy is COM
paratively simple thing. You train
him to be a lawyer, or a doctor, or
bond salesman, or a carpenter, and
if his schooling takes there he is.
Sitting pretty on top of the world.
Nobody expects him to be Robert
Taylor, or an exemplar of what the
st-dressed men are wearing, or to
make his town clothes, or do his
own plumbing.
But with girl it is different.
Book larnin' doesn't take the place
OF looks with her. College degrees
get her no dates. Phi Beta keys
don't unlock the doors of good times.
Higher mathematics do not teach
her how to attract men. Skill in
the fine art of being a woman is no
part of her formal education, vet
she needs to have that at her finger
tips just as much as she knows how
to read and write.
Indeed, for some inexplicable rea-
son, feminine intelligence and charm
have been popularly believed to be
incompatible. We have even coined
a phrase to express it and we speak
OF the beautiful but dumb. We
never expect blue-stocking ladies
to have seams of their stockings
straight In the back, or look like
anything except a bundle that
mother tied up. While we deplore
that poor dear Susie, who took all
the prizes at school, never learned
how to comb her hair, or to dance
without stepping on her partners
feet, we have felt that 1t was just
because, somehow, feminine brains
and the social amenities did not
mix. And that nothing could be
done about it.
But it appears that something
can be done about it. Glory be!

DR.. Preston Bradley is
Speaker at Rotary Meet.

Rotary last evening listened to DR..
Preston Bradley, of Lake Verrnilion and
Chicago, make one of his famous and
inspiring addresses in which he analysed
the hysteria at present prevailing in
certain parts of Europe and especially
Germany.
DR.. Bradley ripped the underpining
from Nazism, Communism and Fascism
and was outspoken in asking the
American democracy to put an end to
this kind of stuff in this country and
prove to the world that we are making
success of democracy. He thought
the Fritz Kuhn's and other foreign paid
agitatorS might be eliminated from
these shores in order to clinch our dem
ocracy and thus keep America free in
every sense of the word as to personal
liberty of speech, press and religious
thought.
Bill Moves of Tower had charge of
the program and introduced DR..
Bradley. Harry De Wolff of Indian
apoliS, Indiana was Rotarian guest
at the meeting. Sigurd Olson was a
guest of Bill Moves; Andrew Watilo, Jr.
guest of Bern Lambert; Raphael zon,
state director of the Lakes States ex-

in charge of the station at the Halfway,

SEIZED FURS
Bring S6,270

The final checkup of the proceeds of
the sale of confiscated furs held by the
state recently shows that a total of
$6,270 was received, according to the
report of the division of game and fish
of the department of conservation. The
skins disposed of consisted of 400 beaver
and 1890 muskrat, E. A. Gehrke, SUI
pervisor of seizures, stated.
Even though the fur market is not
active at this time, the prices obtained
were satisfactory compared with past
sales, Mr.. Gehrke said. The sale was
held in the state Office building here
and included the skins seized by the
department from trappers and others
who were in possession of them illegally,
such as, trapping out of season, illegal
sale, etc.
Since these seizures represent only a
very small fraction of Minnesota's fur
production in a year, they indicate
clearly that this natural resource still is
far from exhausted in this state but,
on the contrary, still is a considerable
source of revenue and provides income
for number of people, division officials
asserted.
1t is to conserve this important source
of wealth by safeguarding it against
the depredations of unregulated trap
ing, that the division takes these
seizures in order to discourage illegal
trapping and sale, it was said. Besides
/ l. g..
tivities, the division is carrying out a
scientific program designed to promote
the increase of these useful animals
