Manners
of the
Moment

And speaking once more of dog
owners in restaurants, I'm not par
| ticularly fond of the person who
brings her dog into a nice eating
place and lets him run around loose,
and then bawlS out the Softie who
gave him bone.
A person who takes her dog into
restaurant already has broken
enough rules not to add that one to
her sins.
After all If you're going to let
your dog run around to all the other
tables looking pleadinglv at the
other eaters, the chances are that
there will be couple of people in
the crowd who will think the dog
wants food and who are soft enough
about animals TO sneak the dog
bone.
1t Is not the strangers fault if he
doesn't know that chicken bones
don't agree with your dog. He's
just trying to be nice.
My advice to you, dog owner, Is
to eat in cubicle and keep your
dog tied to your own apron strings,
or to leave your dog at home.
Perhaps 1 am becoming too Sc

Practicality
May Alter
Customs
Easier to Remove
Service Plates
With Courses
BY Emily Post

According to correct formaD
service, the service plate is removed
with either fruit cocktail glass. or
soup plate, and exchanged for a
clean plate known as an exchange
plate" because this in turn should
be exchanged for any plate with
food on it. But since a Kitchen
served meat and vegetables is not
admitted at formally served
dinner, an exchange plate would
seem strangely out of place. There
fore, the answer is to do what is
most expedient. This probably
would be to remove service plates
and whatever may be on them zone
double stack in each hand and
bring in the filled ones zone i'll each
hand.
This answer is TO the question:
when the main course of meal is
served on plates in the kitchen and
brought in by the maid (which is
often done these days in this part
Of the country should the service
plate be removed at the time that
the fruit cocktail or soup is removed
or should the place plates be left
standing and only the first course
removed, and the place plates be
lifted as each hot plate with the
main course is put DOWN."
As I already have said, 1t would
seem simpler as well as quicker to
remove service plate and whatever
Is on it and leave the place bare
until the already filled, hot plates
are put down. This is a practical"
service suggestion, in contrast to
that which is formally correct"
Dear Mrs. Post: When answering

This is DR.. Franklyn's Office" or
This is Miss Jones in Dr.. Franklyn S

Answer: The usual form is briefly
"Dr. FTanklyn's office" If asked who

China Wants Pact Of Mutual Assistance

CHUNGKING, July - The in- fuential newspaper, Takung Pao urged the Chung'<ing govern ment to enter negotiations with the U. S.. Britain and Russia for a mutual assistance treaty.
 The paper, presumably with government consent proposed a treaty be drafted for mutual aid against the Axis in the present war, and for reconstruction of the world after peace is achiev- ed. Ii was suggested that Foreign Minister Quo Taichi, the former Chinese ambassador to London, take the lead in the negotiations. Quo conferred with various high officials in Washington when he passed through the United States recently, enroute home from London.
 Japanese sources have charged repeatedly that similar mutual treaty already exists.
