appearance of suit-perfect for
the warm spring weather. This

That evening Ann prepared. and
ate, a most sketchy supper. Ad-
venture beckoned and adventure

a matching hat. She had a clever
idea in mind. two pancakes of dark
blue taffeta, the top pancake tilt
ing upward at the back, the fin
ished creation to be worn over one
eyebrow, held there by shirred
elastic. 1t would cost almost
nothing.
Could she afford a new pair OF
gloves? She consulted her budget.
The budget always had the last
word. Only by strict adherence
to its dictates was she able to
keep even, and keeping even was
an obsession with Ann.
Her mind had been scorched

BY EMILY POST

The following opinion as TO why
the formal dinner is gradually dis
appearing Is certainly novel in
idea and vivid In Its suggestion:
Since there are no bread and but
ter plates used on a formal dinner
table. is II proper not TO serve any
rolls or bread at all? II butter
is not permitted. certainly people
can't choke down dry bread. Or
perhaps that Is why formal din
ners are going out of fashion"
Although 1t " true that butter
less bread-exoepting that one
checkerboard variety of brown
bread and white bread .cemented
together with frozen hard butter
lis .he formal dinner rule, the
special dinner roll sometimes
called finger roll) Is made with
a good deal of butter and Is really
not very dry. The perfectly plain
rectangles of dry and crustless
bread that used to be served at
yesterdays dinners may have hast
ened their end, for all ! know. I
can answer from long experience
that 1t was NOT tempting in APP
pearance nor delectabis to taste!
Seating the Table In .
Restaurant
Dear Mrs. Post: At dinner for
twelve In a restaurant, arranged
for ahead of time, are place cards
ever used TO seat the table? They
seem TO me very necessary but 1
don't know how they can be put
around.
Answer: Place cards at din
ner OF this size are especially
necessary In a restaurant where
directing your guests verbally
would be very conspicuous. At
home, before the dinner. you write
the cards and lay them around an
imaginary table in the order they
are to be placed. Then pick up the
cards. beginning with the card of
the lady who is to sit on your
left, and then each one
in turn on around the table. When
the pack Is completed, your hus-
bands card will be on top and the
lady of honor tthe one who sits on
his right next below his. Fasten
the pack together with an elastic
band Tor put 1t In a small enve-
LOPEZ. When you arrive at the
you give the pack to
the head waiter and ask him to
put them around the table to the
right. He then deals them around
In the exact order they come.
What To Say for a Compliment
Dear Mrs. Post: Is THANK you"
The best return for a compliment ?
| think in some special cases 1t
might sound more flattering to
the other person to say? I'm glad
you like it." or. I'm glad you
think 60" A friend argues, how
ever. that this seems to be taking
the compliment too seriously.
Answer: Thank you" Is always
safe, out both answers are right.
On occasion, IL you happen to
value the opinion Of the person.
you could say, ITO hear you say
this means great DEAL" think
your suggestion Of I'm glad you
like 1t" could be taken to mean
that at least this one person likes
it and that no one else has. Which
may, or then again may not, be
thought flattering! In short your
meaning must be made clear by
your reading" Of the line.

never realizes how inadequate his
earnings are.
For every girl who sits down
and schemes crafty to make a
good marriage" there are doz-
ems who marry men because they
love them--and for no other rea-
son.
For every mother who neglects
her children, there are hundreds
who worry and work and plan to
give their young ones better
chance to be somebody" than
they had themselves.
For every woman who Is hard
and cynical, there are dozens who
are warm. generous, happy per-
sons.
The feminine heel Is no more
typical OF women than the mas
culine heel Ii typical Of men.

Street Smoking
Dear Miss Grey: Here Is the
answer to Betsy,
who wrote a letter In defence OF
women smoking on the street.

It will be q very long time before

In the third place, II Betsy is
sincere, / would like TO tell her
that some women manage to look
refined and charming while they
are smoking. while others succeed
only in looking cheap and common.
However, one woman manages to
look Just as common as the other,
when smoking on the street.
Whether clothed In ermine or rags,
the effect Is all the samoan un-
attractive picture.
In closing ] would like to say
that II I were a boy. I wouldn't be
caught walking down the street
with a girl who had the poor taste
to indulge In street smoking.

NAACP REFUTES
TUSKEGEE ON
LYNCH DATA

NEW YORK-The following tele-
gram refuting Tuskegee Institutes
statement that no lynchings occurred
during the first six months of 1910 was
sent to Dr. F. D. Patterson, President
of Tuskegee Institute, by the National
Association for the Advancement of
ColOred People July g.:
"We are inexpressibly shocked by
Tuskegee's statement that no lynchings
occurred during first SIX months of
nineteen forty. On March second,
Sarah Rawls and Benton Ford were
fogged to death by a mob at Atlanta,
Georgia. Five days later Ike CASTOR
was beaten to death by mob in same
city. On June Twenty-second, Ebert
Williams, was lynched at Brownsville,
Tennessee, for attempting to exercise
his constitutional right to register in
order to vote in nineteen forty presi-
Dental election. Such inaccurate state
ments by Tuskegee Institute do ire
parable harm by causing public vigil
lance against mob murder to relax and
by giving enemies of anti-lynching Bill

lation."
