Equally Correct to
Keep or Pass Plate
Handed to You

sometimes there Is no arbitratns
Q controversy. When both sides win
can be no other answer, ~
In the instance described By the
following letter:
Recently I was seated ut the
right of the host at a dinner party.
I hardly knew the host as I was
invited to come with friends Of
theirs with whom I was staying.
The host did the carving at the
table and passed the first plate to
me, but as he did not say anything
about my keeping it. I passed 1t on
to the person next to me. I've been
told since that when this type Of
service is used and I am seated on
the right of the host and given the
first plate, I am expected to keep it.
I, on the other hand, argue that this
would have been taking my impor-
lance for granted. Which way
would have been the right one?"
AS already noted above, to have
kept 1t would have been correct, and
passing it on was proper. In short,
it is correctly assumed that the host
serves the lady on his right first.
And yet, I think ones natural I'm.
pulse at such time is to pass the
plate on unless told by the host to
keep it. Had he asked you which
cut you preferred and then put the
filled plate down in front of you, or
II he had said, will you keep this
please?" you would have kept it.
As 1t was, you could not have been
criticized either way.

Children Are
Ignorant Of
Hardships
Take COnvenienceS
For Granted but
Not Ungrateful
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Many a worthy father and mother
are distressed to find that their chill
dren take for granted the many
things that they receive. They Won
der at what they call their children's
ingratitude, lack Of appreciation
and affectionate response for the
sacrifices they make to pay for the
privileges their children enjoy. This
is especially true Of those parents
who had no such privileges in their
childhood and youth.
IT would have given anything
to have had music lessons. I'd have
worked my f1nger-ends of to have
them. Marylee takes them because
she has to and I even have to force
her to practice. I wasn't like that.
I don't understand"
Fathers complain about their ad-
descent boys and girls.
They think cars are nothing at
all. They look on them the way I
used to look at streetcars, some
thing to take me from one place to
another in a hurry. It's the same
with college. You'd think these
things came with a pound of tea.
Believe me, if anybody had told me
I could go to college, all bills paid,
I'd have thought a miracle had hap
pened. It gets me-"
Weren't there privileges you en-
joyed in your day that seemed mira
cles to your mother and father?
How about hot water in the house?
Plenty of fresh water in the faucet
to be had for the twist of your wrist.
How about the telephone, the cleo
trio lights? Did you stand in awe
before the faucet? Did you rever-
ence the light that came at the push
Of q button? You did not. You left
that faucet running and you forgot
to turn out that light. You behaved
In the eyes of your father and
mother precisely as your children
behave in your eyes today.
What you are born to is no mir
acle but something to be accepted
with your daily bread.
Children have to be taught ap-
probation and gratitude. Their
blessings have to be pointed out
to them. They have to be taught
to be thankful to those who have
| served them in past generations
and to determine to make Their
own contribution to those who come
after them.
Do you, when the power fails
allow the children to find the can
dies and light them? Hunt out the
old kerosene lamp and light 1t? Dc
you, when the gas stove or the cleo
trio stove fails, let the children gel
wood and coal to take its place? Dc
you ever tell the children about you,
childhood-the light, the heat, the
winter supplies, the ways of travel
and transportation? Do you find
ways of allowing them to experience
being without these privileges they
now take for granted? It would
help them see your point If you did

finishing, but just require freshening
before your winter rugs are brought
in. have the old wax and dust
cleaned of with benzine or gasoline
and pads of very fine steel wool.
Be sure to have plenty of ventila-
ton in the room while this is done,
as the mixture is very inf1ammable.
After the floor is scrubbed, wipe up
the surplus with clean cotton waste
and clean gasoline, give the floor
time to dry out thoroughly and
then wax it, using very little wax
at time but giving 1t three polish
ings on three successive days. After
that it is ready for the winter wear
with weekly waxings.
One of the best things to re-
member and impress on the man or
maid who does your floors is that
wax in thick layers tends to make
your floors dull rather than shining.
It's value lies in continual use in
very small doses The idea is to
skim the surface lightly with either
the liquid or paste variety and then
polish and polish some more!
There are several brands that are
recommended for use, as they are
"self-polishing," and while this is
true to a great extent, they are
usually many times more satisfactory
after they are polished. The wax
fills the surface Of the wood. keep
ing the dirt out. and the shiny sur
face sheds the dust, making 1t pos
sible to pick it up easily on q dry
mop.
Seal the surface of your floors
with a good, smooth finish that pre-
vents the absorption of soil, keep
them covered with q thin film Of
wax at all times and use a clean.
dry mop, one that can be washed
every week, to keep the dust from
grinding in. Then you will simplify
your floor problems for years to
come.

Dorothy Dix Says 80
Friends Are Gained and Held Only
Through the Proper Attention

! congratulation or send q wire Of
coincidence and then they wall out,
when they are old or in trouble
themselves, that they have no
friends.
OF course, they haven't. Why
should they? They haven't earned
any friendship. AS we SOW we reap,
and those who have sowed the little
seeds Of kindness and sympathy for
rejoice with them in their triumphs
and weep with them in their sor-
rows.
To keep a friend avoid too great
intimacy. No friendship in the
world could stand what is called
"back-door neighboring." People
who pop in your house in season
and out of season, who know the
things they should not know and
see the things they should not see
get on your nerves and make you
hate them for invading your pri-
vacy. Short-lived is the friendship
that does not respect decent for
mality.
Nor can friendship long survive
too many condolences. Millions Of
friendships between women have
been broken up because they told
each other secrets about themselves
and family scandals that they re-
pented telling the next day and
hated the other for knowing.
A little boy once gave as a defini-
ton of friendship: A person who
knows us and still likes us. He
might have added: And who lets us
alone and doesn't interfere in our
private affairs, and doesn't come to
see us too often.
DOROTHY DIX.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-08-21

A correspondent asks: How can
I make and keep friends?" Well,
making friends is like making sue
cess In business. It isn't bit Of
good luck that befalls you. It is the
result of years Of hard work, Of eff
fort and self denial and prudence
and tact and making our wares seem
desirable to others. We have to sell
ourselves to those we meet. For
there is nothing in a casual glance
that would cause any one to break
his neck to have us for a friend.
Those who complain that they have
no friends are virtually always the
standoffish kind. The sort that ex-
pect others to do all the running and
to be courted and fattered and feted
and dragged out Of their shells, and
they never stop to ask themselves
what is so wonderful about them
that any one would take the trouble
to thaw them out of the glacial
crust Of ice in which they have in
cased themselves.
So If you want friends you have
to be friendly. You have to show
your heart to your fellow creatures.
You have to go after their friend
ship with as much enthusiasm and
determination to win it as you would
over a prospective customer with
whom you were trying to put over
q deal.
Then, If you would have friends,
you must realize that friendship is
q give-and-take proposition. A lot
of men and women go through life
without ever doing a single thing to
bind the heart of any other human
being to them. They are utterly
and entirely absorbed in their own
affairs.
They avoid the sick and afflicted
as they would a leper. Their pockets
have padlocks on them that no ap-
peal of the needy can open. They
never bother to write a letter OF

are on everything and they're
mighty practical as well as smart.
Sweaters and skirts are still as
important as ever, but this year
finds a new trend toward the use of
blouses with skirts as an alternate.
Really good looking are the long
sleeved flannel or silk shirts or the
tattersall shirts Of brilliant checked
material. Knitted jackets that look
hand made, but aren't, seem des-
tined for success when worn over
the indispensable "dicky front" in
white or pastels. "Scrambling"
clothes Is still q favorite college
pastime, and more often than not
you'll find contrasting jackets and
skirts being used. A marvellous buy
is the combination Of Stacks. skirt,
jacket and shirt which can be
switched around and worn In any
number Of ways.
In date dresses" velveteen, WOOL
ems. wool jerseys and cleverly
worked corduroys are being featured.
Simple, good lines are important,
and these basic dressestminus any
frou-frou-are easily changed with
jewelry and other accessories.
Evening gowns are either pencil
slim or extremely boufiant, often
with hoops placed quite low. Still
preferred are the not-too- slinky
styles that are quite fitted and COM
paratively simple. The practical
aspect In evening clothes becomes
apparent in one velvet dinner gown
whose empire sleeves zip of to make
1t q more formal gown at mo-
ment's notice.
OF course, the most fascinating
part Of the college shops are the
accessory-laden tables and racks.
For example. this year the girls are
going in for hats, but they're choos-
ing the tiny beanie" or calot which
perches on the back Of the head
and is often adorned with q quill.
The boys "porkpies" are still In evi-
dence and so are q few hoods on
sport clothes, although these seem
to be going out on everything but
strictly casual attire.
Mitts for daytime and evening are
very important. and you'll adore the
satin evening ones in the 'vitamin
colors, tomato red and spinach
green" Jewelry is all Of the nov
city type, with the exception Of
the ever-claSsic strands of pearls.
Intriguing are the gold-colored ques-
tion-mark pins. the bottom parts of
which open up to disclose pic
ture of your best beau. Wooden
jewelry is good Necklaces and brace
lets are often hung with states, PEN
ellis, tiny dogs with plaid blankets
and other delightful nonsense.
Low wedges for sport and evening
wear are being shown, but high
heels are favored for "dressy" shoes.
A positive sensation are the moe
casin-type shoes made Of unborn
calfskin, available in q variety Of
colors and positively fascinating
with their furry surfaces and bright
colored thongs.
Other trick accents include suede
"weskits" with matching calots;

bulky to carry around the campus.
