GOOD TASTE
TODAY
By EMILY POST

Situations that are often per
+ picking are those which involve
/ professional with social etiquette
one Of the most typical Of these
situations is described by an
organist who is going to play at
a wedding OF importance
This is purely professional
engagement on my part, she tells
me, the fee having been agreed
upon and paid. and ! was surprised
TO receive an invitation for my
husband as well as myself. TO the
reception. Does this require US 10
send the bride a present >"
My answer 10 this Is that the
invitation could not have been sent
for any reason other than that Of
friendliness. You may accept II
or regret IT, as you feel inclined,
and no obligation whatsoever is
incurred. They would not expect
present-in fact IL would prob
ably make them feel that you
thought one was expected, and
this would embarrass them very
much.
At first I wondered what in the
world the bride was talking about
when she asked me whether IL was
proper to cut the bottom layer of
wedding cake, instead OF begin
ming at the top and working down.
1 even started to write, "Of course
you begin at the top, how else could
you ," Then l visualized one OF
those elaborate cakes often seen at
much-photographed weddings -
cake rising tier on tier; each set
back tier. surrounded by a plat
form made by the projecting edge
of the one below. and realized that
the only solid place to cut such
cake would be through the outer
rim Of the lowest tier.
l realized, too, that the lowest
platform may very we'll be all that
there 10 of real cake and the upper
tiers be merely sugar ornament,
which may be lifted off at the end
of the reception and put away for
a keepsake. Or IL the whole cake
must be cut, the uper-structure is
lifted off and put on platter
where it remains lowered, but still
an ornament and all OF the cake
cut into small pieces.
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
does not approve OF anything
strong to drink, and we viii not
be able to serve champagne at the
dinner where we are announcing
our daughters engagement. What
can we serve instead Of cham
payne?
Answer: A very light. sparkling
white wine, would be proper. or
If you want strictly non-alcohoIc
beverage. then either sparkling
white grapeJuice, or ginger ale. or
orange-ade made with carbonic
water: in other words; the impor-
tant requirement is that II be pale
in color and sparkling.

Bottle of Production

The National League of Women
Voters has launched a Nation wide
'speedup production" drive that
holds promise of intangible but none
the less definitely worth while results
in Americas battle of production. The
leagues general council recognized
that there was urgent need for a
planned organizational program to
impress upon the general citizenry
the gravity of the Nations peril and
the necessity for all-out cooperation
in the task of building home de-
fenSes and creating an effective
arsenal for the foes of Hitlerism.
The women voters were impatient
at the SloWness Of at least some por-
tions of the populace to respond to
the country's call for more and more
exertion in behalf of preparedness.
They determined to undertake an
evangelistic campaign to spur the
people to far greater efforts.
SO the Voteless District of Colum-
bia League and other units of the
national organization have begun an
active crusade to arouse their fellow
citizens to a full realization of their
individual responsibilities as citizens,
workers and taxpayers The leagues
battle cry succinctly sums up the
objectives of the movement: More
planes. more tanks, more guns, more
goods faSter-now. More getting to-
gether, more sacrifices. more taxes.
more work-noW. Do everything to
help. say nothing to hinder the bat
tie of production, for defense at
home, aid abroad. To keep free peo-
pies free"
This creed should be spread far and
wide-in cities and towns in factories
and mines, on farms, in offices, in the
home-for it places proper emphasis
on the duties and the burdens which
all Americans must share if the pro-
duction battle is to be won deci-
sively-as it must be. The leagues
commendable drive merits the atten-
tion and wholehearted support of
every citizen.

Compromise-With What?

The compromise plan offered by
congressional opponents Of the pro-
poSal to extend the time Of service
OF one-year Army men is, on its face,
tacit confession that the men now
In the Army should be kept there.
Under the terms of the suggested
compromise, the Reserve officers and
the National GuardSmen would be
retained in service. while the seIec-
tees, composing well over half of the
Army, would be discharged at the
end of q year. All new selecteeS,
however, along with the GuardSmen
snd Reserve officers, would be
inducted for an indefinite term of
service.
In other words, the compromise
plan recognizes that an Army
capable of defending the country
cannot be organized and trained on
q basis of one-year inductions. And
st seeks to meet this danger-a year
from noW-by requiring the selectees
Hf the future to serve indefinitely.
Fsut during the interval, and in spite
pf the clear recognition that the
country is in peril which is implicit
In the compromise itself, it is pro-
posed to wreck the Army that we
havet in being by demobilizing more
thankhalf its personnel
That is a legislative compromise
Rhichi also compromises the safety
nf the Nation. If adopted, it would
afford an aggresSor an ideal oppor-
tunity 10 strike at this hemisphere,
and thas. is risk for which Con-
Eress, should it reject the proposal,
Eill haveS to assume full RESPONSE
bility.
In his testimony before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee yester-
day, General George c. Marshall,
chief Of staff, renewed his request
for a congressional declaration of
emergency, which would make pos
sible the continued training of the
men now in service, who are admit
tedly not yet ready for combat
service
The main question" he said, dis
whether there is an emergency. I
say there is, and the War Depart
nent says there is. You gentlemen
will have to settle It,"
Congress. obviously, does not deny
the existence Of an emergency. And,
that being the case all talk Of COM
promise should be dropped, and the
issue dealt with Squarely by giving
prompt approval to the recommen-
dations made by the chief of staff.

Wushington's Regatta

Canoeing of the power boat races
on the program Of the Presidents
Cup Regatta in September in the
interests of motor fuel economy is
one of the regrettable. though neces-
sary sacrifices which must be
expected In an emergency period.
For fifteenfyears these contests have
been growing in interest, not only to
motor boat owners. but to the gen.
eral public. And the race for the
Presidents Cup has become an out
standing American sport event.
1t is with relief that the Capital
learns the regatta itself will not be
called off. Other events, including
swimming. rowing and sailing COM
petition, will be held as heretofore.
These races have contributed in
many ways to WashingtonS summer
program. Swimming, it is true, has
been foStered by various groups. and
competitive rowing was promoted by
a small group Of athletes through
IflP various 2DOdG NIuDS- btC az tLlC
time sailing events were introduced
into the regatta program, the sail
had almost disappeared from the
Potomac. Many sailors had sup
ported the contention that the Cap
ital's facilities were unsatisfactory
for sailing But the opposite was
proved true, and enthusiasm was
renewed almost overnight by the
racing events. Within a period of
Just a few years, fleets of classified
racing craft have been built up by
yacht clubs, Sea Scouts and others
that have proved formidable con-
tenders in national competition. The
Presidents Cup Regatta Association,
while finding it necessary to cancel
the main event this year, has at the
same time chosen an excellent
method of perpetrating its Organiza-
ton against the time when motor
boat racing can be resumed.

tungsten, zinc and other materials
needed in the defense program.
In recent months Japan has pur-
chased large quantities of many
metals in Mexico at prices we'll above
the world market level. The agree
ment will put stop to these Japa-
neSe purchases. 1t will also prevent
exports of strategic materials to
the Axis, thus narrowing still further
the flow of war supplies to Germany
and Italy from the Western Hemi-
sphere. The new arrangement should
benefit Mexico, for it will assure
market in the United States for her
surplus strategic commodities.
The United States already has
made contracts with several Latin
American republics for the purchase
of defense materials, and similar
agreements with other countries are
expected in the near future. In the
interests of hemisphere defense, it is
to be hoped that arrangements can
soon be made with all Latin Amer
iCan countries to bar sales of stra-
tegic materials to the AXIS.
OF the metals, minerals and raw
materials listed as strategic" or
essential" in defense production,
approximately thirty are available,
in substantial quantities, in one or
more of the American republics.
Every effort should be made to con-
serve these supplies for the use of
the Western Hemisphere.
