Discussed
Depends on Which
Way the Family
Prefers Coffee
BY EMILY POST.

It is true that fter-dinner (black)
coffee is an exaction of formal serv-
ice. But this does not mean that 1t
is banned or even impractical in the
simplest bungalow or cottage. The
only question is whether an indi-
vidual family and their friends like
to drink big cups of coffee with
milk or cream and with their meals
or whether they like demi-tasses Of
very strong coffee after their meals.
The service of the latter presents no
difficulty since it is like simplified
afternoon tea. The hostess carries
her coffee service to the living room
and she pours coffee into the cups,
asks each how many Jumps Of sugar,
puts it in and hands it to each. Or
if it would be more convenient she
remains at her dining table. This
answers a young friend who asks:
1T is permissible to use demi-
tasses in a house which has no
maid? I received such cups for
wedding present and have never
used them because my husband
thinks they suggest too much for
mality for our informal way Of life"

You'll ind it a simple matter to
stretch your budget If you start now
to make some of the pretty little
aprons that fill so many needs on
your gift list at Christmas and all
the year through. Here are two
pretty styles that are as easy to
make as they are wearable, and
you'll find it fun to choose unusual
fabrics and match them with the
personality Of your friends.
For instance, for the friend who
likes her cup of tea at A. there's
nothing daintier than small apron
in organdy; for the friend whose
pride is her kitchen, a coverall in
gay colors like yellow or blue cham
bray with white ric-rac edging.
These are but two of many ideas
you'll discover for yourself when
you decide with the help of these
patterns to make it an apron

Tighten the

Visit a Pleasant
One by Helping
BY ANGELO PATRI.

The thoughtless children have
IN mind are not young ones, but the
married ones, with children of their
own. who go home for a visit to
mother and take for granted that
she will wait on them as she did
when they were in need of help.
They do not mean to be thouehtless
and selfish and a burden to the
aging grandmother, on whom they
descend, bag and baggage, children
and dog, but they are, in fact, and
mother" suffers.
The married daughter seems to
be the worst offender. She loves
her home, her mother, the old as
sociations. the old friends. She
unpacks the family and hastens of
to visit. leaving grandmother to look
after the children, pick up their
belongings. attend to the meals and
the housework. Before the end of
the visit poor mother" is worn out
and more than glad to see the bags
60 into the car and the dog in his
corner of the shelf on his way with
the family. When the rear of the
car hobs around the turn she heaves
a sigh of relief and goes to bed
You've seen this happen during
the past summer vacation time. It
happens in every household where
there are married children to return
home. Some help little. some not
at all, and even the in-betWeens
have no idea what a burden they
impose on their elders.
Thanksgiving and the Christmas
holidays are coming and mother
would like her children and grand
children to visit the homestead. She
would like very much to have the
comfort of seeing her family about
her, but she cannot invite them
If she breads the work they impose
upon her.
1t is true that most mothers like
to do their work in their own way.
That is their undoubted right. But
the work that the visiting children
bring is not that kind. The beds
they use can be made, the rooms
they use can be cleaned and kept
in order. They can surely keep
their belongings in place and so
eliminate the picking up that is
SO time -robbing and so wearying
Mother can do the work she loves
to do without being burdened to the
point of illness.
Teach the grandchildren to make
as little work for other people as
possible. Teach them to consider
grandmother rest hour. Show
them little ways of helping, such
as hanging their clothes where they
belong, putting away the books they
use and the games they play. Take
them out with you when you go
visiting and do not leave them to
grandmother for the day, or the
afternoon
The heart of the situation is in
the fact that Mother" has borne
and reared a set of children, has
done major service in her life, and
is at the time when the holiday
is becoming burden. She looks
forward to seeing her children and
grandchildren about her, but If
their coming imposes extra work,
extra worry. all her Joy in the &C.
casion Is lost.
This coming holiday time give
thought to Mother" Plan to make
the visit home and to make your
stay a period of rest and recrea-
ton for the one who has given 50
much love, so much devotion to you
and yours. Make the coming holi-
days a season of giving, not only
material giving, but that finer,
rarer thing-affectionate, thought
full giving of oneself.

Judging from the survey, at least
one-fourth Of the non-relief farm
families in this country are getting

of the year. Fewer than half get
diets that rate really good. The
situation found in the cities reached
by the survey was even poorer.

she goes to New York and has chat

course, to IL noon daily.
During the day she hears lectures
on how to care for her hair, finds
that brushing is helpful as long
as she uses the implement in out
ward strokes instead of brushing
the hair downward and the dirt
back into it. She discovers how
to care for her hands and nails and
hears about the latest colors in

receives instruction in makeup and

build a small stage consisting of a
raised platform 80 inches from the
floor and a curtain which runs easily
on a traverse rod behind a deep

The reason we've brought all this
up at the moment is because the
percentage of would-be models
grows more and more gigantic. SO,
while we hate to make noise like
a know-it-au, it seems to us that
course in modelling is a fine thing
if you really want to improve for
your own private benefit. Many
career girls, brides-to-be and others
have found that such training offers
unreasonable assistance. On the
other hand, we really mean 1t when
we say, Think twice before you
rush into modelling as profession"
There is a terrifyingly small num-
Der of girls making a good living as
models-and practically none at all
in Washington. The work is fun
and the grace and charm it gives is
welcome to every girl, but remember
that it's a mighty difficult gate to
crash, especially in the matter OF
finances.
However, if all our spouting is in
