<y &~'t'y 9a1<
of aiqvsfs: The " Book Of Social Usoss."
"The Personal . q House." Etc.

VRT SEEMS to me, writes reader,
that the typical American
husband has a fixed idea that,
if his wife wants to improve her social
knowledge, and learn how to run her
house well, and likes to run it that
way. it means she is going high-hat.'
do l mean my own husband has
these notions? certainly do! He says
I'm going high-hat because want to
decorate my dinner table with can
dies, and set the places with service
plates, and have everything passed by
our waitress at each persons left, and
have coffee served after dinner in the
living-room Having big cups of coffee
with dinner is something he won't
have stopped when any of our old
friends come to dinner. He thinks any
change from the way we used to live.
when did all the work, will make his
old friends feel that we have gone
high-hat.
ITO me this reason seems ridicu-
lous. He does not in the least begrudge
me the cost of running the house the
way always have wanted to run it -
and never could. He doesn't dislike
nice ways. He admits they are inn
proving to the children's behavior. He
is only afraid that his old friends will
feel success has gone to his head.
What l can't understand is that he
was not bit concerned about their
feelings when the company advanced
him way over all of them They know
or can guess " what his salary is.
AS a matter of fact, don't want them
to think we are uppish any more than
he does. But for the life of me can't
see how pretending not to have learned
nice ways is going to please them
or fool them"
This is the end of the letter To me
it is an unusually interesting one be-

leaving their prey to the bear or to
some marauding stranger. T happened
to glance toward the carcass of the
deer and saw them closing in again,
but by this time they too had observed
the mother bear and cubs and sensed
that for some reason the trio were at a
disadvantage.
A change in the wind brought the
scent of the wolves momentarily to the
bear and she reared up defensively on
her hind legs; and then, quite as
abruptly, the scent was gone again
and she resumed her laborious task.
BY dint of tremendous effort she had
moved the trap and pole few feet
from the original position, and it soon
became obvious where she was head
ing. About fifty yards away was a
fairly high cliff, and if she could get
the trap to it and keep the two cubs
close to her she would be in a good
defensive position if the pack attacked.
Steadily she worked, though hampered
at times by the cubs, who insisted on
staying so near her that they inter-
fered with her efforts.
The wolves ignored the dead deer
now; undoubtedly the taste and smell
of that blood and freshly killed meat
had given rise to the instinct to kill,
for they were starting to stalk the bear
and her cubs. They closed in on her
with infinite caution, none daring to
step within reach of her mighty claws,
and yet all circling around her and
watching for an opening 1t was like
some titanic contest in which no one
could guess the eventual victor.
"Will they get her, Frank?" l asked.

Instead of setting your table as a

a substantial supper table? In fact.
this is one of the most attractive

in every detail as correct as your

to set it with a dark blue damask
cloth and dark blue matching napkins.
Surely nothing could be more home

Frank shrugged. 1--WE wait, see."
The wolves were so near now that
their scent was inescapable. and the
old mother had to give up momentarily
her efforts to drag the trap and weight
to the cliff. She turned to face her
tormentors, cutting at the cubs when
ever either of them wandered too far
out of reach.
The wolves retreated short dis
tance at this exhibition of belligerence
but quickly returned to their milling
ring of death. The old bear, alert and
practiced, spun warily to make sure
they did not attack from the rear.

! felt it and so did Frank, and so prob
ably did the active participants in the
tense little drama.
Perhaps one of the wolves was
young one and had yet to learn the
lethal power that lies in the paw of a
full-grown bear. At any rate, more
foolish than the rest, he crept in too
close. The old bears paw shot out and
the wolf flew head over heels to land
twenty feet away. where he lay still.
The remainder of the pack moved
back to respectful distance.
Now the mother attempted to make
use of the respite to resume her tedious
trek toward the cliff. Foot by foot she
advanced, apparently unaware of any

put it down on top of the service plate
in front of each person at table. Nor
will it be confusing to have her put the
coffee cup next to each persons place,
nor to have the plates exchanged for
clean ones in the proper manner.
But now comes a question. 1t you
want to avoid making it necessary for
the woman on your husbands right to
break into a fresh untouched dish
presented at her left, this can be
avoided by having your husband
carve and serve the vegetables at the
same time Then the plates can be
carried around the table and put in
front of each person who is served. In
any case, can find no excuse for the
rudeness of the hostess who has her
self served first.
For the same reason you can nave
individual portions of dessert. on PLAIN
china plates, put down in front of each
person. You will thus avoid the con-
fusing service of what in my own book
is called "private-house service.
Countless people find the stack OF
china plate. glass plate and finger bowl
and two implements very confusing
to handle Bring on your finger bowl
after your dessert on plate by itself
so that nothing has to be done with 1t.
Another suggestion: In choosing
your menu, avoid vegetables which
the guests may. perhaps, be used to
eating from saucer. In other words,
don't have peas in their juice, or thin
stewed tomatoes. for it really is never
correct for vegetables to be eaten with
a spoon from a saucer.
One last thought; have taken this
letter literally. and considered that the
old friends have really had no expert
ence in any of the formallties. and
that requirements must be brought
down to a simple scale. In this case,
perhaps that assumption may be quite
wrong. Each case presents its own
problems, and it is of Importance that
you do nothing which in any way
refutes best service. since to seem to
assume that your friends lack social
experience would be an unforgivable
dlscourtesy. Far better, it seems to
me. to be too formal, than to run the
risk of being thought to belittle their
knowledge.

attitude which many newly
rich women do seemingly,
lose. So to her, let me answer:
Your question, as under
stand it, is how to make your
old friends - wives as well as
husbands - feel that you
and your husband. in your
new house, are exactly the
same people you used to be
when you lived next door to
them. The men he has known
longest don't want to be made
to feel that they're dining

he is Jake" 1t is not that
theyresenthis high salary, his
new house, or the fact that
you are waited on by no mat
ter whom - or how many.
The only question to keep in
mind is whether the formality
of your house can be strange
to them; whether the self
consciousness which usually
goes with wondering just
what they are expected to do
next makes them i'll at ease
and spoils their evening.
1t seems to me that by using yol
own common sense, plus kindnes
plus memory. you should have no di

drick, who owned q number Of
hacks, afterward bought this house.
and probably died here, where his
funeral is said to have been the
largest private funeral In Wash
ington up to that time. For .
number Of years subsequently 1t
was owned and occupied by Lewis
Thomas and his heirs.
To the southeast, and about 100
feet from it, stood the old Mansion
House, with wide halls on the two
floors running from front to back.
The stairs ran between the pairs Of
rooms on the east side from cellar
to garret. The west rooms were
in pairs, large, square, with high
ceilings and windows, with inside
blinds or shutters. The cellar was
divided into several compartments
for storage. At one time, 1t was
the scene Of tragedy.
At another time, the house was
occupied by an old lady who owned
q number of slaves, and who de-
pended upon them for support.
"She was very lenient toward them"
it Is stated.
In the same house also resided an
old couple from down the river with
13 slaves. On his deathbed the old
man manumitted them on condition
that they would support his widow.
She did not live long thereafter
and died in the almshouse.
The old tavern at the foot of
Eleventh street was kept by Peter
Jones, who was well known in his
day. He afterward moved eastward
to a building which was torn down
upon the opening Of Tenth street,
as it stood directly in it.
Naturally there are some people
still with us who have reason for
believing that there was another
public school in South Washington
besides the old Jefferson, of which
much has been said. Indeed, the
Potomac School, which stood for
years on Twelfth street, between
Maryland avenue and e street,
though not large building, num-
bered many prominent people among
those who attended there and who,
even today, love to sing its praises.

Uncle Sam had an eye on this very
thing, women are asked by the
immigration and Naturalization
Service of the Department of JUS
tice. in the course of their exami-
nation for American citizenship:
IF necessary, are you willing to
take up arms in defense of this
country?"
And some of them have refused
to answer in the affirmative, on the
ground that they are pacifists or
have religious scruples against bear
ing arms-or are opposed in con-
science to war. In naturalization
proceedings in the Federal courts,
women, as well as men, take the
oath of allegiance to support and
defend the Constitution and laws
OF the United States against all
enemies, foreign and domestic, and
bear true faith and allegiance to
the same" And this is interpreted
to mean by force of arms If needs
be. And the Supreme Court has
set it down as its opinion that a
woman can be denied American
citizenship, if she declines to take
the oath to bear arms in defense

World War Service.
For America is not without the
experience of womankind in her
fighting.
During the World War, both in
the Navy and Marine Corps women
served-doing their ''bit" for the
Stars and Stripes. But the Army
never had women regularly enlisted,
as did the sister services. Yet the
Army, in these latter years, raised
womankind to the designation of
officers. Nurses for a number Of
years were given the title of major,
captain, first and second heutenants,
although the Army has recently
abolished these designations. In the
Navy Nurse Corps members were
not known by officer ranks.
Many are the Washington women
that recall their service in the
armed forces of the Nation during
the World War Described as the
largest post of women in the Ameri-
can Legion that served in the ranks
of Yeomen (F'emale) is the Jacob
Jones Post here, with more than
400 active members. Women who
served in the Marine Corps have
their own veterans post, known as
the Belleau Wood Post.
Yeomen CD were taken into
the Navy during the World War
from every State in the Union, from
Puerto Rico and from Hawaii. They
signed the same shipping articles
as did the men, but were assigned
to the Reserve. In the National
Capital they were attached ofncially
to the tugboat, the U. S. s.. Triton,
stationed at the Washington Navy
Yard. although they worked else
where in the city for the Navy. It
has been well said that If all the
women who were ofncially aboard

Two attached bricks, and the
corner house that faces Ninth

looks about as much like the group

Nearby, at Ninth and H streets,
