BY EMILY POST

The distinction that must be
made between conventional re-
quirements of good usage and what
we may choose to do in our own
houses, is illustrated in a letter
which asks If it is also wrong TO
serve salad on separate plate
with meat If vegetables are not
included. This letter says further,
ut is very hard TO 60 without veg
etables. because some of us do not
like meat without vegetables. while
one of us likes to eat the salad and
the meat together"
To this the answer is that hot
vegetables eaten at the same time
as salad according TO formal
usage) is almost as wrong as serv-
ing cream soup and ice cream at
the same time. Some one might
like this, and in her own house
there is no reason why she may
not have what she or her family
likes. cite this example merely
to make my point, knowing very
well of course that more people
like salad and vegetables than
could possibly like the soup and
ice cream combination. / must. of
course. repeat that when salad is
served with meat it correctly takes
the place of vegetables. Otherwise.
it should be served as a separate
course.
But l must also add that if in a
house of limited service. it is easier
to prepare the salad on individual
plates ahead of time and to put
these at each place at table, to be
eaten when each one prefers, this
is a compromise that (even though
not correcp might in such cases
be quite sensible to make.
WHO EATS FIRST:
Dear Mrs. Post: At very big
public dinner where there is a
speakers table and smaller tables.
when does guest begin eating :?
Must the people at the small tables
wait for some one at the speakers
table - perhaps the chairman-to
begin eating. or how is this de-
termined7 At an ordinary dinner
l know of course that people would
wait for the hostess to begin.
Answer: You pay no attention
whatever TO the head table. That
is, the first one served at your
table may begin eating when two
or three others have been served.
This is exactly the same rule that

from Richard with unbelieving
eyes. How could a man who had
actually seemed on the verge of
proposing to her become so ut
terly impersonal the moment they
reached port?
OF course the reason was OBJ
vious. The wire from his office
had proved that no matter how
long he had lived in this country
he was still an American bust
ness man at heart. But now the
day for which she had waited so
eagerly became suddenly blank.
Well, Jim had warned her. But
what was she to do? See Rio by
herself?
An Invitation
Jim was nice about il. He said
that he understood Maxwell had
decided to fly to Sac Paulo so
how about joining Olive and him
Sheila disliked being extra bag
gage. She knew that Olive and
Jim would have preferred doing
their sightseeing alone but when
she hesitated they urged her with
such apparent sincerity it would
have seemed rude to refuse. So
after all her plans, it was with Jim
Davis that she drove to the top
Of the Corcovado.
The air was warm and sweet,
filled with the twittering of birds
They hired a car and drove down,
stopping en- route to investigate
the old Indian caves. Then from
the country club the length of the
Copacabana along the most beauti-
full beach Sheila had ever seen.
The city itself was much larger
and more modern than Sheila had
expected it to be but the inhabi-
tants were completely foreign. She
could not accustom herself to the
frank stares of the men whose
dark eyes seemed everywhere
When she mentioned it to Jim he
laughed, These South Americans
go wild over a blond woman"
That let's me out" Olive said
contentedly.
She was clinging to Jim's arm
but her attitude was not possess
sive. II their Irritation had deep
ened into anything more Olive was
much too clever to show it. Jim's
attitude, of course, was more
friendly than it was romantic.
But then it would be Sheila de-
cided wondering for the first time
if Olive might not prove to be the
nice girl" Aunt Susan had hoped
Jim would meet.

THE WAR:
Enter Italy

After nine months of watching his
ally Hitler carry on the actual war
fare against France and England,
Benite Mussolini has finally thrust
the armed force of Italy into the
European conflict. In a dramatic
announcement the Italian dictator
told his people and the world that
his country had decided to enter
the war on the side of Germany.
From Berlin came reports that
the first Italian troop movements
had been directed into French Riv-
iera, even as Mussolini was notify
ing British and French diplomatic
officials that a special train was
ready to take them out of his coun-
try as Wa against their native lands
was already under way.
Italy's main war aim as outlined
by Mussolini is control of the Medi-

Battle of France

With the battle of Flanders at an
end, the follow-up battle of France
began. The so-called battle of
France was primarily a German
drive for Paris, Normandy, and
such additional channel ports as
Havre and Cherbourg, and Seine
port Rouen, where Joan of Arc was
burned by the English in the Fiji
teenth century.
Twenty-four hours after Mussolini
had entered the war, German tanks
were encircling Paris and the city
was under constant bombing by the
Nazi air force.
Whether the Germans could keep
it up or not, depended largely on the
amount of their tanks destroyed by
the allies in the battle of Flanders.
The new Aisne-Somme front was 125
miles long, but probably only two
thirds of the northern French army
was left to hold it. Meanwhile, the
English army had been driven
back to England, with the loss of all
its mechanical equipment.
Generalissimo Weygand invented
a new anti-tank strategy, which
consisted of opening ''free" lanes
for the German Suhls and A. Y. VS.
and then hammering them from all
sides. These were exactly the anti
elephant tactics of the old Roman,
Scipio Africanus, with which he
finally beat the great Hannibal, that
master of tank" warfare. For
Carthaginian war elephants were
used Just like Hitler's battle wagons.

HOOVER VS.. LANDON

Behind the scenes a bitter strug-
gle is shaping up between Herbert
Hoover and ALT Landon at the Phila-
delphia convention.
The ex-President is bent on writ
ing into the platform an endorse
ment" of his administration along
the lines of the one in the Glenn
Frank Program committee report.
Landon is not fatty opposed to this,
although he considers it unnecessary
and likely to prove a campaign
handicap.
But he is prepared to wage a last
ditch fight for liberal platform.
He is determined to resist to the end
Hoover's plans for a platform to fit
his conservative views. Landon is
against any blanket denunciation of
the New Deal.
Landon will be in a powerful posi-
ton to wage his battle. In addition
to leading a midwestern bloc of at
least 100 votes, he also will be the
Kansas member on the resolutions
committee.
Note-In its original form the ar
rangement under which Hoover will
speak Tuesday night, the first ses-
sion Of the convention, also called
for a speech by Landon. But this
was dropped when it was pointed
out that as delegate he can get
the floor any time.
