Food for
Gossip
Best Answer Given
Boy and Girl Who
Plan Boat Trip
BY EMILY POST.

Questions about man and girl
proprieties are the most difficult Of
all to answer in this column because
of the personal equation which
ought to be taken into considera-
ton. It is SO often impossible to
give a hard and fast rule that can
be applied to all cases. If 1 say,
mo, it will be a very questionable
thing to do" may have given an
absurdly blue-stockinged answer to
Ruth Ritemind. Yet If answer, ut
will be quite all right" I run the
risk of giving bad advice to Flora
Fleity.
The type of question that have
in mind is this one from a man:
1--WE been going with girl for over
q year, and we would like to go on
the same boat trip for our months
vacation this summer. Would the
fact that neither one of us knows
any one else who is going, and that
we would be taking no third person
to act as an official chaperon make
such plan as ours improper in the
eyes of other people who are not
travelling with us but staying at
home thinking about it?"
The answer to this is the obvious
one of supplying food for harmful
gossip. About this, you know better
than I can-whether to the people
at home the news that you and
she had gone on long trip together
might be made to sound very ques-
tionable. and might bring very un-
fair criticism, especially upon the
girl, or whether every one who
knows you both would think it all
right. The only way I can really
answer this is to suggest that you
take the advice of some one who
knows the circumstances - who
knows you and who knows her
Some one in your family, for ex-
ample, whose opinion you trust!
Dear Mrs Post: My grandmother
says that it is not proper for two
unmarried couples to spend few
days on a small cruiser with just

employ of the one boys father, with
us. We think grandmother is wrong
about this. and she says if she's
wrong she'll have to have your say
so about it.
AnsWer-There is no doubt in my
mind here that grandmother is
right. In fact, think grandmother
is very right. Personal qualiflca-
tions have nothing to do with this
situation.
Dear Mrs. Post: When one man
speaks to another man he passes
on the street. and the latter is with
a lady that the man alone doesn't
know, should he tip his hat and
does tip mean touch it or lift it
off?
Answer-He should take hold of
it lightly by the brim and lift it a
little, or If it is soft hat he lifts
it by the crown.

Finding the empty platter in the
icebox is often a very hollow feeling
for the housewife. It's not that you
don't want your family to have all
that they want to eat It's just that
you got chicken SO big for Satur-
day night that you were sure it
would last over for a smart little
dish Of chicken la king on Sunday
night. And you didn't buy anything
else with which to feed the family.
And Sunday at about $50 pm
you trot out to the icebox to start
cutting up the bits Of chicken. And
there you find not one smidgeon of
the fowl left. The platter is empty.
There is rustic behind the dining
room door and you think you hear
bit of munching through the
kitchen window.
But even If you started to retrieve
you know it would do you no good.
There would be nothing left by now
but bones.
You hopefully wonder If perhaps
the family has lost its appetite be-
cause of its icebox raid. But every
one announces that he's as hungry
as bear.
So you do your best with few
canned beans and some ancient let
tuce and your family wonders why
Sunday suppers are always so slim.

should never count on left-overs
unless they taste terrible. And then
you probably shouldn't count on
them anyhow. JEAN.

housewife. Walls, floors and CELL
ings are washed, painting is done
where required, repairs are made to
furnishings, the plumbing is COM
pletely overhauled, the vast net
work of conditioning and ven-
tilating machinery is examined,
elevator cables are tested-in short,
everything is put into first-class
shape at housecleaning time.
OF the 129 charwomen who keep
the Capitol scrubbed and busted,
each is responsible for an assigned

is never any need to argue!

runs ABOUT IL years.
The entire Capitol cleaning pro-
gram is in charge of Arthur E. Cook,
superintendent of maintenance, who
has been % years in Uncle Sans
employ. 1t is matter of pride with
him that rarely is one prism broken
during the two months that it takes
to clean the chandeliers.
Modern taste is inclined to put
chandeliers in the class of over
stuffed furniture, but in the Capitol
they are treasured as legacies from
a more leisurely age. Despite their
cobweb appearance, chandeliers are
built on strong metal frames. Masses
of opalescent crystal conceal the
basic structure, while ropes and
chains Of the same material swing
gracefully in graduated lengths be-
tween the various light brackets.
From these again hang the "prisms"
or clusters or drops" the pendant
pieces being known by any of these
names.
In size the Capitol's chandeliers
range from a mere 8 lights to 49,
The first step in the cleaning is to
strip the frames entirely of every
piece of crystal. Infinite care is re-
quired in this taking apart process
Some of the glittering drops are 4
inches long. and as they cost 126
apiece, breakage would soon use up
a workers daily wage of So.
Each piece of crystal-and this
includes the chains and ropes of
"beads'-goes through five diff
ferent waters, the first one con-
tanning strong ammonia. When the
washing is done polishing follows
but not with a cloth. That is apt
to leave lint on the cleaning sur
faces. 1t is from a bath of fine
sawdust that the shimmering ma
terial finally emerges!
The precious mass is then care
fully put together again. Silver
pins, specially made, are used to
hook on the drops or lusters. Silver
is used for f1exibility, since the pins
bend easily and hold better. Then
the sparkle of the metal blends with
the shining nature of the ensemble.
While the chandelier experts are
carrying out their special task the

isn't any account and who wastes
his money.
A woman should maintain the
silence of the grave about her real
opinion of her husband. Let those
who do not have to live with him
tell him of his shortcomings. Never
should she be the one to remind him
of his mistakes, or let him know
from any word of hers that she re-
CARDS him otherwise than as an
oracle and spellbinder.
Another secret a woman should
keep from her husband is the fact
that she is losing her looks and
putting on weight. Heaven in its
mercy ordained that men take their
wives for granted and seldom look
closely at them, so the chances are
that he hasn't noticed it and is still
seeing her as she looked the day
he married her.

Steak Good Choice
For Dinner Menu
To Please Men

A thick steak will serve as many
people as the same amount of meat
in smaller steaks. Since the meat
will be more fiavorful and juicy,
everyone, especially Dad, will be per-
fectly satisfied.
If the family is large, perhaps
one of the sirloin steaks from the
loin end will be the best choice.
T-bone and porterhouse from the
shortloin, also will serve the aver
age family generously. Club steaks
are smaller, but each one, If it is
cut thick, will serve two.
Broiling according to the modern
method is so easy that the young
daughter of the family can be left
In charge.
For a juicy, uniformly broiled
steak, deliciously Drowned on the
surface and delicately pink within,
moderate temperature should be
used.
Place the steak on the broiler rack
and adjust the rack so the top sur
face of the steak is three inches
from the source of heat This will
give broiling temperature of about
350'F., which is a moderate temper
ature. II the construction of your
broiler won't permit the three inch
space recommended, regulate the
temperature control accordingly.
Turn the steak when the upper
side is nicely Drowned. Salt it just
before turning and turn it carefully
with a fork inserted in the fat.
When the other side is Drowned the
steak will be done. For medium
done steak about an inch and a
half thick, allow IS minutes for
broiling. For a steak inches thick
allow As minutes. For rare steaks in
either case deduct five minutes
from the time periods just stated.

In the vegetable line, baby zuc-
chini squash are worthy of tracking
down. BY using the tiniest ones,
they may be peeled, and then cooked
whole, slowly in lightly salted water,
to emerge temptingly full of delicate
flavor. The smallest of any summer
squash is always the best, in my
opinion, and usually may be pre-
pared in the above manner, which is
a pleasant change from the ordi-
nary method. Acorn squash are in.

brown sugar tucked into the center.

are plentiful, as are tomatoes, young
turnips, lima beans, string beans,
peas, fine cauliflower and eggplant.
Garden lettuce is especially good
and not too expensive to enjoy by
the bowlful.
All cuts of veal are listed in the
good meat buys for the week end,
together with hams, half smoked
sausage, luncheon meats and some
special cuts of pork. Lamb and
beef show little change from recent
levels. Frying chickens are plenti-
full, and will be featured in a num-
Der of markets. Ducks and squads
are reasonable, but don't "go very
far" with hungry household. Fish,
as always, is plentiful and cheap,
with Holsters at unusually low prices
If you relish your "lobs" now is your
chance to revel in them!

Although it's SO simple and so very
easy to make, this basic dress has
a truly glamourizing effect upon
your figure. The high-cut, slanted
oanels at the sides give you a slen-
der, sweeping line. The front of the
skirt, cut in one with the bodice
front, diminishes your waistfine and
f1attens your diaphragm. The
gathers and darts of the bodice put
the emphasis just where you want
tt-up above the waist. Just send
for the pattern, make it up in your
favorite color, and you'll see!

Good Sleep Needed

A growing child needs proper rest
as much in the summer time as he
does during the school year. Prob
ably he needs more, because he's
twice as active and his body de-
mands the energy restoring values
to be found only in sleep. Mothers
whose children do not sleep we'll
during summer months should check
their sleeping equipment. If mat
tress has an uneven surface, broken
by bumps and hollows, or if a

probable that 1t should be replaced.

If a meat loaf is allowed to

A teaspoon of vinegar added

 He was educated at Newport Grammar School and University College, London, specializing in physics. In 1877 he married Miss Mary F. A. Marshall, only child of Captain Alexander Marshall.

 Standing six feet three inches, Sir Oliver was of commanding ap- pearance. His head was completely bald on top, but his hair curled in waves down the back and sides of his neck. He wore white beard mustache and sideburns. He played tennis until he reached an ad- vanced age and after giving up that game continued golf and cro- quet.
 Unafraid of Death
 Sir Oliver continually scoffed at the theory that retirement is fatal to a busy man, declaring at 77 that he felt younger than he did for years before he gave up his regu- lar work. He was, however, con- stantly engaged in a varying suc- cession of experiments and con- tinued his investigations until late in life.
 What he had learned from his investigations made Sir Oliver to- tally unafraid of death.

 PapS got their two in the first inning with Lawson going aboard in a walk and Fritz Schmitz also getting a free base, both coming in when Blake lined one to short and Lewis threw low to first.
 In the fifth frame, Taguchi, first man up, singled, Ellenberg singled, and MacSpadden brought in Ta- guchi with a liner through second but the rally stopped there, Addle- man hitting into a double and Will ley grounding out to second base. Tn the sixth frame, Elks squeezed across a tieing run when Lewis sim gled, and Kumsaka slapped one into short that Lawson knocked down but couldn't get ahold of in time to cut off the run at the plate.
