Disagreement
On Name
Divorce Suggests
Using Initial to
Give Meaning
By Emily Post

I don't know whether my readers
always agree with me, particularly
on certain points that are clung to
rather stubbornly, or whether those
who read this column are too con-
siderate Of my feelings to tell me
what they think Anyway the writer
of one of this mornings letters is
not only in disagreement, but plainly
put out! In stiletto-pointed hand
writing, I am told: Your advice to
divorcee as to her name irritates
me-! Why do you insist that she
take a meaningless name like Mrs.
Jones Smith? If you suggested her
becoming Mrs. M. Jones Smith (the
M in place of Mary l think that
would be excellent advice because
that gives the name meaning and
makes it sound better"
To this I can answer that Mrs.
Smith is perfectly free to call her
self NJ. Jones Smith if she prefers
or even Mrs. Mary Jones Smith, II
she doesn't object to its wrong-side-
of-the- -car-tracks connotation. AS a
matter of fact, 80 years ago. Mrs
M. Jones Smith was the way the few
divorces of that day had their
names listed in the telephone bool
and had their visiting cards en-
graved in the hope that M might
be supposed to stand for Martin
instead of Mary. Then one day a

Salads Constitute
Vital Part of
Daily Diet

Salads! 1t is not so long ago that
men used to call them rabbit S
food" We still know a few who
sccrn salads, but generally you find
men liking them just as much as
do women-at least when 1t comes
to service at dinner.
With the increase of green's in
market throughout a longer season,
salads began to be appreciated be-
fore the food value was recognized.
They were considered a luxury, how
ever. not a necessity, as they are
today. Now we realize raw vege-
tables provide some of those vita
Minis which are essential for good
nutrition.
All green leaves are particularly
high in vitamin A and c. Tomatoes
rate well for both vitamins A and C
Carrots are particularly valuable for
vltamin A, and cabbage, potatoe,
and green peppers are among the
foods which provide liberal guam
titles of vitamin C. Fruits. especial
ly oranges and grapefruit, can be
counted upon for the latter. As you
will note, all of the foods included
IN this list are much used in salads
and most of them we like better raw
than cooked.

Hands Need
Devote Only Ten
Minutes Daily
To Schedule
By Patricia Lindsay

BY Patricia Lindsay
A young housewife who became
discouraged with her "dishpan"
hands was about to give up hoping
for 10 fingers Of which she could
be proud when we urged her to
faithfully promise to devote 10 min
utes a day for hand care. She
promised.
She worked out with us a groom
Ing schedule and each day checked
of the care of her hands-finger
exercise, creaming, nail care, pro-
lection.
Once week her hands had
thorough cream steaming. A hand
cream was massaged onto the skin
and steamed for Is minutes before
she hoped into warm bath. After
the bath she applied manicure Oil
around her cuticle and under her
nail tips.
Without fail she creamed her
hands each night before going TO
bed, and worked back the hardened
cuticle with an orange stick and
nail oil. Her nails were filed close
to the fingers and colorless liquid
polish was worn while the nails
were growing into a pleasing oval
shape The deeper polish shades
were reserved until the nail beauty
could be dramatized. An extra
minute each day was spent whiten-
ing and softening the knuckles
after they had been treated with
nicotine remover TO Danish all dis
coloration.
As this matron had formed the
habit Of holding her hands awk-
wardly and moving them stif1y Cshe
was conscious of their lack of
beauty it required specific exercis-
ing 10 give them grace.
Here are the exercises: % Paper
crumbling Taking newspaper
page or other large sheet of paper
and crumbling it with one hand
with a crawling movement. 90
The water shaking exercise. Shak-
ing her hands smartly with a wrist
movement as If to shake drops of
water from them pretending there
was no towel to dry the hands,. 80

meal is ready he should receive the
word and lead the way into the
banquet room.
If an invocation is to be given he
remains standing behind his chair,
which is signal to the other
guests also to remain standing. AS
soon as all the guests are at their
places the POSTMASTER calls upon
the assigned person to say grace.
At its conclusion he takes his seat,
as do the speakers and guests.
At the end of the meal the T. M
rises, raps for order, waits for the
room to quiet down and then makes
a few Introductory remarks regard
ing the purpose of the occasion and
the program which is to follow. He
then presents the first speaker, tell
ing who he is and what he does and
giving his subject.
The formula for such introduc-
tions goes something like this:
Our first speaker tonight is a
young man we'll known to every
student of this school. John X. is
'Ulhll, Dlhll, CIC'. NIl "a Will SpCdh
to us on the subject (blah, blah). I
now take great pleasure in intro
ducing Mr.. X"
The T. M then turns with smile
and a nod to Mr.. X. and sits down
as Mr.. X rises. The speaker should
know In advance how much time is
allotted to him, and if he overruns
that time it's up to the T. M. to
politely cut him short. At the con-
clusion Of Mr.. ks remarks the T. NJ
rises, thanks him. makes compli-
rentary comment or two on his
speech and then introduces the
next person on the program.
The most important speaker is
usually heard last, so it is vital that
the earlier orators don't take too
much time. At the close of the
main speech the T. NJ. voices his
words of appreciation. makes any
necessary announcements and then
states that the program is con-
cluded. He rises from his chair as a
signal that the other guests can
leave the table
The chief thing for the toastmas-
Evening star., 1941-11-18

ter to remember is that it's his job
to run the show ana introduce the
Speakers-but not to make speeches
himself. His introductions should
be short and pleasant, with touch
of humor if the occasion warrants it.
But he certainly shouldn't strain for
laughs and he should never crack
wise at the expense of the speakers.
If you're new at the job it is a
good idea to have small card
on which you've jotted down a
few reminders as to what you plan
to say. This is especially necessary
if the speakers are not well known
to you. Don't be one of those
T. M s who go on at length about
how famous the guest of honor is
and then introduce him by the
wrong name or forget the name
entirely!
You ASk-We Answer.
@. What does a girl do when a
boy telephones her during her alb
sence? Does she call him back or
wait for him to call again? Does
she mention the call II she sees him
the next day or so? NATALIE.
A. II a boy calls and leaves a
definite request for you to call him
back, then you may do so-although
we think it's bit presumptuous for
a boy to leave such a message. If
he really wants to talk to you he
should be willing to call a second
time!
In the absence of such a specific
request don't call him back. The
only exception might be in the case
of a boy with whom YOU were on
very friendly terms. or when you
have been unavoidably absent after
instructing boy to call at certain
time.
If boy fails to call you second
time, and you see him a day or two
later, you might say Il was sorry
1 was out when you called yester-
day But let it 60 at that; don't
quiz him about his reason for call
ing you. You merely want him to
know that you were informed Of his
call.

inflated Prices Feared
DESPITE Control Bill

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 (P.-Some
commodity market men today IN
terpreted the proposed price-control
bill as leaving room for considerable
increases in most commodity prices.
I don't see how we can escape
inflated prices even under the pres
ent bill,' one commodity analyst
said.
I'VE don't know where, OF course,
ceilings would be set but we DO
know they can't be lower than ITO
per cent of parity under the bill
as it stands now. Farm. prices ap-
parently will have to go up a lot
to reach that level"
A Joker in the bill, he said. was
the federally fixed parity prices.
Parity, he said, apparently could
be raised by the Agriculture Depart
ment indefinitely, carrying the CELL
ings higher with 1t.
The big opening jump in cotton
futures. only commodity traded IN
New York Yesterday, was pointed
to as representative OF reaction to
the price control bill. Futures
closed $3.50 to $4.05 bale higher,
with most deliveries above II cents
a pound.
At those prices, traders said, cot
ton still had a cent to go to reach
ITO per cent of parity. Parity as
set for July Is was 16.49 cents a
pound; ITO per cent of that would
be 1914 cents a pound.
On the basis of July Is parity
prices, the ceiling on wheat could
not be below $1.29 a bushel, or ITO
per cent Of the $1.176 parity price.
Wheat gained about 3 cents q
bushel yesterday.
Only hogs and beef cattle among
basic commodities were bringing
on July 20 prices above the parity
levels, market sources said.

Fi|ipinos Seen Willing
To Delay independence
BY TIE Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, Aug. 3 Sunday An
informed political source intimated
today the Filipino people would ac-
cept a postponement of Philippine
independence in view of the grave
Far Eastern situation. A legislator,
speaking for the dominant Nacion-
alista party, asserted, however, the
citizenry would mot turn back"
from it's desire for freedom.
The Nacionalista party is DOM
mated by President Manuel Quezon.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont suggested Friday in
Washington that indefinite
postponement of Philippine inde-
pendence would be advantageous
both to us and to the islands"
1t set of considerable discussion
of the independence question.
(Under the Tydings-McDuff1e
Independence Act, the Philippine
/, Islands are scheduled to be
granted full freedom in 1946.>
The political source asserted that
the Filipino people, apprehensive
over the possibility of war, were not
anxious for independence as sched-
uled, preferring to have the United
States defend the islands and sus-
pend economic features of the act
which remove the islands from q
preferred trade status.
