Dear Mrs. Post: When does the
bride land groom cut the wedding
cake at an evening reception? That
is, do they leave the receiving line
to cut the first slice so the guests
can be served, or how is it done?
Answer-When no wedding cake
is supplied in individual boxes, the
guests have to wait until the bride
and groom, having been greeted by
all of their guests, are free to 60 to
the table and cut the cake-usually
before they sit down at the bridal
table or wherever else refreshments
are toe be offered them.

Quarreling Children
By a ngelo Patri

Children who play together usu-
ally quarrel about the toys they use
That is quite natural and will do no
harm provided the quarrel does not
come to blows and tears. When that
happens they have to be separated
and the one who began IT. sent to
the quiet corner to be lonesome for
a period long enough to register the
discomfort and loneliness.
In the noise and heat of the battle,
it is seldom clear who began it"
Past experience sometimes helps us
form correct Judgment. If not,
then send each to a quiet corner to
be lonesome. Make that lonesom-
ness strong enough to count. Send
ing child to quiet place alone
with book or toy for 5 minutes
won't help at all. 1t only irritates
him as an interruption. But make
the period last for the half day in
which the quarrel occurred and ii
will count full weight.
Don't make the mistake of forcing
one child to give up to the other
every time simply because the other
one is younger, or he is weaker. OF
he howls the louder, or you like him
better. Watch for the aggressor ano
train his selfishness out of him, fol
his souls sake. Don't cultivate q
domineering woman in a peevisE
child today lest her future be ruined

TURNING COLLARS.

From Mrs. A. L. F., Washington.J
One of the first things a thrifty
young wife learns to do is to turn
the collars on her husbands shirts.
In this day of practically impossible
to-get shirts, it may interest some to
know that even those collars made
with slots to hold the celluloid stiff
eners can be successfully turned. At
first glance it looks hopeless, but
rip carefully, and you'll change your
mind. Those who really rejoice in
new tricks can even make new edges
on worn cuffs-IF the shirt tails are
long enough to allow little swiping
of material from that area. Ma
chine stitching Tor hand hides the
joining.

EVAPORATED MILK:
CHRISTMAS CACTUS?
(From Mrs. r. c., Arlinoton.)
Recently lady stated that
evaporated milk could be used In
almost anything except mashed po-
tatoes and gravy. I am wondering
why not there? I have used it in
both mashed potatoes and gravy
with good results.
I, too, am concerned about my
Christmas cactus not blooming. I
wish some one would please tell me
what to do, or what not to do, to
induce it to bloom. My plant is
IS years old having brought it
with us from the West, six years ago.
1t has bloomed every year until the
past three winters. We trans
planted it four years ago into a pot,
1917 inches in diameter. I am sure
it bloomed the following winter.
1t is in quite sandy soil, and !
don't give it much water. I keep
it in West window. My sister lets
her cactus rest" in the basement
during the summer. I have done
that for several summers, except
last summer and still it didn't
bloom. Any suggestions will be ap-
preciated.

COMMENT.

tFTOW a. M :, WuSHIHgtOn.J
I know Mrs. r. L. Of Washington
wasn't asking for any advice, but
I've discovered that not being a good
housekeeper has lots Of advantages.
My husbands family were good
housekeepers too and was just as
unprepared to compete as Mrs. L.
So never enjoyed my home until I
just learned to admit wasn't good
housekeeper and what of 1t? If you
try to live up to your husband
memories you're licked at the start.
In the first place his memories
probably recall best the period
when the children were all away
from home, at school a good deal of
the time and his mother had the
uninterrupted time you can't have
with small children around. In the
second place there is a time when
the children are small that there
simply aren't enough hours in the
day. or enough strength in any one
woman to do everything as it should
be done.
And your husband married YOU,
he didn't marry a carbon copy of his
mother, and there were probably
very good reasons why. Maybe you
are one of the people whom others
will love to be around II you aren't
worried for fear they'll think your
house isn't kept right.
Learn to brag about the way your
mother-in-law keeps house, and say
you wish you could; and then go
your own way and do the best you
can. You don't have to be a good
housekeeper to be a good home
maker, and that's lots more impor-
tant. I'll bet you've been doing too
much scrubbing, too little picking up
in an effort to live up to your hus-
bands high standards. That's what

nate layers of potatoes, onions,
grated cheese, sprinkle a light layer
OF -four on them, then season with
salt and pepper. Repeat this till you
have filled your pan almost to the
top. then pour milk over until it be-
gins to appear around the edge of
top layer. Place buttered crumbs on
top, then put your chops on top of
that. Bake slowly to insure tender
ness all the way through.
So many people fail to put cheese
in scalloped potatoes and it's such
mistake to overlook it. Cheese
makes the dish superb we think!
Am hoping this will answer the
request for baked pork-chop recipe.
I have also eaten filled chops-but
never made any to date. I would
imagine one would merely slice the
chop almost through then fill the
opening with your favorite bread

Tolerance and Education

Tolerance, meaning for me an
honest respect for the decent and
upright views of others, particular
ly minority racial and religious
groups in our population, in my
view is inextricably interviewer
with education.
There is no honest way to con-
done claims of superiority OF one
sect or racial group over others. II
men are, as the Declaration OF In
dependence declares, created tree
and equal, then it can be only by
Withholding decent opportunities for
education and competent public
health facilities that one group or
one Individual can outstrip another.
Surely, there is and can never
be, a justification for legislative en-
actments designed by subterfuge to
disenfranchise a considerable seq
ment of our population. Efforts
must be directed toward improving
the standards of all.
Tolerance, which is almost syn
onymous with broad educational
background, is natural and normal
state of mind in an enlightened
democracy.
That alone is sufficient reason for
all F1oridians to interest themselves
individually and through their civic
and religious organizations in the
Improvement of our schools which
today are receiving attention largely
because teachers have rebelled a
gainst their inferior position in the
economic scale and have sought 9th
er and more rewarding lines of ac-
tivity.
All over the nation, there is a
shortage of teachers - competent
and incompetent. The fact is, there
have never been enough good teach
ers. and there probably never will
be until there is general public
financial support of an adequate

school program. The teaching pro-
fession must be raised to a level of
professional recognition to which it
is entitled.
Good teachers and good schools
alone will not produce a progress
sive, enlightened, educated and
tolerant population. One thing more
is fundamental, and that thing is
good health.
Children who are i'll, poorly cloth
ed, improperly fed, cannot learn.
They are conditioned at the start
against the broad education we
seek for them. And so, there must
be in Florida full support of pub
lie health program that is effective.
If the children of Florida are sent
in good health to good schools,
stated with trained teachers and
administrators, most of our social
problems will finally resolve them
selves. A nationwide public rec
ognition of this fundamental fact
is vital necessity.
In Florida, as elsewhere, it in
wolves long range program, which
may be expedited on behalf of min
ority groups in the South by the
removal of restrictions on voting.
1t is encouraging to note that in
this state, under the administrations
of Governor Holland and Governor
Caldwell, there has been progress.
The legislature has boosted by so
percent its ALLEGATION of state funds
to the county school systems of the
state. Increased allotments of money
have been made for public health
work.
A fund has been established for
giving additional financial assist
ance to the schools in the poorer
counties in recognition of the OBJ
vious fact that a child is entitled
to the best educational opportunity
no matter where he resides in
Florida.
There is a continuing study OF
public school and public higher
education in Florida. Early next
year there will be a PROCESS report,
with recommendations for new adj
vancement and improvement.
Florida is going ahead, progress
ing, developing. Let us not permit
the growth and development of our
material resources to take the spot
light from the improvement of our
human resources-the people Of
Florida, their education and Their
health.
