Drinking Tea From
Saucer Never Was
In Good Taste
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: In a recent
advertisement of early American
dinnerware by one of the leading
department stores of the country
noticed mention of a cup plate
coaster, with an explanation that
If one wanted to cool tea, as grand
mother did. by pouring it in the
saucer, this was a little plate to
set the cup on while drinking. 1
was astonished. to say the least.
No one has more affectionate regard
for the lovely things of yesterday
than I, but drinking ones tea out
of a saucer is hardly a custom
to cherish. Is it possible that this
will become, or has become, an
approved procedure of this day?
Answer-Personally I should say
that the little plate on which to
set the cup is nothing more or
less than the bread-and- butter plate,
which is also the proper tea plate.
1t is always used at teatime to put
cakes or biscuits or sandwiches on.
So far as my personal knowledge is
concerned, drinking tea from
saucer was never in fashion.

To make a three-piece suit is
really easy, if you do it with the
aid of this simple pattern, which in
cludes a step-by-step sew chart
clarifying every little point. And it
means not only substantial saving,
but the possession of q really in
dividual ensemble. The style is un-
usually good-a snug jacket but
toned high, and pointed at the
waistline, weskit fashion, outlined
in contrast, that you can wear as
dress. The topcoat is casual and
unfastened. You can use 1t with
your other woods, too.
Tweed, cheviot and wool home
spun are ideal fabrics for this three
piece ensemble.

not attend to. On the other hand,
there's some advantage in having
tC find room of your own, for then
you can either choose a roommate
whom you already know or 60 it
alone for awhile until you get &C
quainted.
In either case, you face the prob
lem of adjusting yourself to living
in very close quarters with another
fellow or girl. If you come from
large family, this should be easy.
But ii you're an only child or one
of pair, it may present some diff
cultieS
Here's one situation in which your
ability to adapt yourself to new situ-
ations and new personalities will be
all-important. 1t will be helpful to
remember that while you have
rights, so does your roommate. A
sense of humor. love of fairness
and justice, a large measure of tact
and constant consideration for the
other fellow are the characteristics
which will make you a roommate
who is fought for, and not with.
Your first weeks on the campus
will be pretty closely regulated and
carefully directed There will be
registration details, meetings with
faculty advisers, arrangements of
schedules. teas, smokers or other
mixers for the entire freshman class,
and so on. The wide-awake young
collegian tries to attend everything
and miss nothing, using every op-
portunity to meet as many of his or
her classmates as possible.
You'll probably receive a booklet
or bible" which will contain the
things you must know about college
and class customs, organizations,
and similar matters. Study 1t re-
ligiously 1t may be that late.' on
you'll want to be rebel, reformer.
an individualist. 1t may irk you
to be just one of the herd-iust
another freshman. But you'd be
wise to restrain those lone-wolf
impulses until you know your way
around little better. Collegians
like their freshmen meek-and not
without justification. There will be
plenty of time for you to kick over
the traces when you've proved your
self.
A good start in classes is extremely
important. Even if the getting
settled details of the early months
make it hard to buckle down TO
work. fight fiercely to make a good
showing at those first Rotations
If you impress your instructors in
the beginning as being a good stu
dent, it will be comparatively easy
to maintain that reputation. But
if you get off to a bad start, you'll
Evening star., 1939-08-31

have to double your efforts later to
make up for it.
You'll be wiser not to figure on
earning much of your expenses
your first year. Even if you must
eventually help pay your own way,
It's better to postpone working
until the second year-or the second
semester, at least. Jobs at any COL
lege are in great demand and natur-
ally students in the higher classes
have preference.
Try to have a complete under
standing with your family regarding
financial matters before you leave
home. II you are a responsible
young modern accustomed to han
die your own money, you may wish
to have a checking account of your
own, with your father putting in and
you taking out. Or you may get a
monthly or weekly check from home,
which you then budget according
to your needs
On the other hand, if you have a
tendency to spend first and think
later your parents will probably
insist on paying most of your bills
direct, leaving you as little money
as possible to handle yourself. If
that situation develops, better watch
out! You don't want to graduate
with a university knowledge of arts
and letters and kindergarten grasp
of practical economies.
A college education is going to
cost you and your parents lot of
money. Just how large that sum
is depends on the institution you
choose. the kind of life you lead
there and your own good sense and
good management The careless
collegian who tosses money around
may spend almost twice as much
as his or her roommate and not have
a bit more fun.
So if your family's financial con-
dition makes it imperative for you
to be careful. don't fret about 1t.
We know one penniless campus
leader who sold brushes from door
to door when he wasn't managing
the college newspaper or running
class politics. When the prom queen
is picked it won't be the figure in
her check book that will win her
the honor. 1t will be the figure she
cuts on dance floor.

DEAR MISS DIX: am man in
my sixties. was happily married
for So years to a wife to whom
was devoted but who died last year
About 10 years ago my wife and
I met young woman to whom We
were very much attracted, and, as
we had no children of our own. we
treated her like daughter. Had
her at our home a great deal, took
her on trips, gave her presents, etc.
And she seemed to return our af-
fection. But since my wife's death
she has treated me with the greatest
coldness. Refuses TO speak to me.
When l went to see her, thinking
to derive some comfort from talking
to her about my beloved wife, she
seemed to think that 1 was compro-
missing her. She wrote me a note
telling me she did not wish to see
me again. Don't you think she is
very presuming? For I have never
for moment thought of her as
anything but a daughter. How shall
I treat her when we meet, as we are
bound to do in our small COM
munity? GEORGE x.
Answer-Evidently the woman in
the case is one of the prissy ones
who think that no man can come
near her without having intentions.
I have known lot of 'em and they
were mostly women who had never
had date or proposal of mar
riage in their lives. Just set her
conduct down to lack of poise and
social experience. and particularly
to lack of knowledge of men, But,
believe me, the wish is father to
the thought in her thinking you were
coming accounting, and you had
better watch out or she will get you.

DEAR MISS DIX: A year ago
secretly married a girl and our
marriage is still not known Sew
eral months ago the company l am
working for transferred me to city
about 500 miles from my home. My
wife is still with her parents. She
has never been away from her fam
lily. has always had her own way
and life has been very easy for her,
while have had to make my own
living for good many years. At
the time we were married I wasn't
making enough money for us to live
on and I am still not earning very
much, but am willing to take a
chance and attempt to live on what
I make If she will come to me and
try to make 60 of our marriage
1t seems to me that If we are ever
going to live together we should
start doing so or else call the whole
thing of. We are certainly not
happy the way things are at pres
ent. What do you think?
PUZZLED MAN.
Answer agree with you. No good
comes of the sort of synthetic mar
riage which you have contracted
and In which you are neither bound
nor free.
Your wife has had time now to
determine whether her secret mar
riage to you was the result of an
impulse Of the moment or was
founded on genuine affection and
to know whether you look as good
to her now as you did to her then.
Also, she must know now whether
she loves you enough to be willing
to endure poverty and hardships
for the privilege of being with you.
If she hesitates about Coming to
you now and joining her lot with
yours, you may be very sure that
her love for you has died, that the
romance is over and that she re-
grets her marriage
think secret marriages are al
ways mistake and that if a man
and woman cannot be married
openly and honestly and in the
sight of all people and live together
that they should put it off until
they can do so. Absence doesn't
make the heart grow fonder of
husbands and wives. 1t alienates
them. When a secretly married
