Etiquette

With the beginning OF summer,
letters already are indicating the
Importance Of advising one who is
likely to be unthinking not to 60
at mealtime to the house Of a
friend Cor even a member Of ones
family without advance notifica-
ton.
An exception, of course, would be
that ones own very large family
living on a farm where the dining
table is never deserted at mealtime
and where provisions are never less
than ample.
Usually you should telephone,
"Will you be at home for dinner?"
Or, would you like us to come to
supper this EVENING"" Even in our
relationships with those who are
dearest to us, consideration of pos
sibilities that could make our I'M
expected arrival inconvenient should
not be overlooked.
Dear Mrs. Post: When a man
and woman are both beyond 10,
would public opinion excuse them
for wanting to get married before
the conventional year is out after
the death of the woman's husband?
The mans wife has been dead for
many years.
Answer-It seems to me that time
might be considered short and this
in turn might make their haste
excusable. Seriously speaking, much
would depend upon their char
acters and individual circumstances
such, for instance, as how much
more comfortable they might be
sharing one house than paying for
the double upkeep of separate ones.
Dear Mrs. Post: Recently we re-
ceived an invitation to a wedding
to take place in large hotel. No
mention was made of the reception
and there was no request for an
answer. What acknowledgment
should be made of this? assume
a reception is implied.
Answer-As q rule, when a reply
is expected to an engraved third
person invitation, r. S. v. P. is in
Guided. But even though it may
not be exacted, it Is always cour-
teous to send an answer whether
one is asked for it or not, whenever
refreshments are to be supplied.

What Meat?

Observant housewives have been
seeing more purple on the meat
they have been buying during and
since the war. AS good shoppers
many now appreciate the advan-
tages signified by the purple stamp
ing on most of the meat selling in
groceries and butcher shops.
AS stamp-wise shoppers know,
U. S. meat stamps applied with a
harmless vegetable fluid to the out
side surface of meat, are Of two
kinds-one indicating Federal
health protection service, the other
a guide to quality in meat which
helps the shopper get value for the
money she spends.
One kind of stamp is the IA
miliar round inspection stamp-the
purple circle surrounding numbers
and lettering-which shows that the
meat has been inspected and passed
as wholesome food by inspectors of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
For 40 years this stamp has been
appearing on all meat that is
shipped from one state to another.
The other kind of U. S. meat
stamp is simply lettering that shows
the grade of the meat and allows
the shopper to know the quality Of
the meat she is buying. Grade
stamps have come to the attention
of many housewives only since the
early part of the war. Before the
war, meat grading by the Federal
government was not required, and a
relatively small proportion of the
total supply on the market was
graded-only about $50 to 300 mil
lion pounds year. However, when
wartime price control regulations
went into effect, grading of all meat
was necessary in order to establish
and enforce ceiling prices on meat
The OPA then required and still
requires all beef, veal, lamb and
mutton to be graded by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Some
II billion pounds of meat are now
graded each year. and carry the
grade stamps. Pork is not graded
chiefly because it varies less in quail
ity than other kinds of meat do.
Because grade stamps concern the
family pocketbook, every housewife
should recognize and understand
them. At present there are fouI
principal grades stamped on meat
The highest grade is U. S. CHOICE
This means in beef. for example
high quality meat with lean that
is threated or "marbled' with fat
SO that it is first choice for steaks
and roast beef-for broiling and
oven roasting. The next grade is
U. S. GOOD, which in beef means a
little fat mixed with the lean-good
quality for all uses. The stamp
U. S. COMRCL means U. S. COM
MERCIAL, the third grade, which
is fairly good quality, satisfactory
for pot roast, stew and other in
expensive dishes. Last is the grade
U. S. UTILITY, low-priced meat
which can be used for stew and Other
inexpensive olSneS.
Since universal grading has beer
required, 1t has not been necessary
for the housewife to try to judge
the Quality of meat herself-a diff.
cult job except for trained graders
or to depend on her butcher tt
choose quality for her. AS a result
many consumers are interested ir
having this service continued. Ar
increasing number of meat concern:
also are looking on it with favor.
In the meantime, the housewife
who sees purple on the meat shs
brings home from market shoule
look again and make sure that sh.
understands what 1t means.

ing wooden materials. In fact, I
have even used them for blindfolds
when my children have had parties,
and can assure you that when
you blindfold any one with BIRDS
eye diaper they play the game fair!
1t is impossible to see If you have
one Of them tied over your eyes.
Now that I am starting a family
over again it is necessary for me to
buy everything that a baby will
need. Some of my friends that have
young babies tell me that the new
gauze diapers are far superior to
the birdseye. They claim that these
new diapers are more absorbent,
softer in texture, and that they dry
much faster. I understand that
these diapers are oblong in shape,
which makes them more adaptable
for pinning on the side. I found
that f1annelette diapers were par
ticularly good for cold weather. My
friends tell me that they are so old
fashioned!
TO FROST GLASS;
FRENCH PASTRY?
ROSE PETAL BEADS?
From Mrs. II. E. S., Indian Head. J
Some time ago some one asked
how to frost glass for a Sunday
school cabinet and as I haven't
noticed an answer, I will tell you
how I did it. This is only a tenn
porary way. Take plain epson
salts, the kind taken for medicine
and mix just enough water with it
to melt it. Put this on the glass
and let it dry. Then another way
I used it was, paint the glass with
liquid glue and then sprinkle dry
EPSON salts on it and let it dry.
I like the first method best.
Can some one tell me how to
make French Pastry, and Rose Petal
Beads? saw strand of rose petal
beads a few years ago. They were
very fragrant and I was told they
were nearly a hundred years old.
So wondered if any of the readers
knew the secret of this ancient art.

''I'm not worried" said Ann,
and meant it; though not, of
course, the way LISA took it.
Hi, wait up!" protested LISA,
shocked. That's no way for an
engaged gal to talk! What do
you mean-you're not worried?
That you are so sure of him you're
sure no other. girl could take him?
That is flying in the face OF Fate,
to hurl a challenge like that!'
'I-didn't mean it quite like
that" said Ann evenly.
LISA studied her shrewdly.
"You mean that since you are
not in love with him, anyway"
she began, but Ann stiffened and
Strengthened.
I'D rather not discuss it, if
you don't mind" she said stiffly
and added deliberately, ''Have

The Magnolia room was on the
sixth floor of the city's most
popular department store.
On, blazing hot day the dim
green walls splashed with the
cool beauty of giant magnolia
blossoms cupped in their thick
dark green leaves, tables like
small white pools with shaded
lamps, and with neat-looking
mulatto girls in print dresses and
white aprons to serve the delect-
able food, it was not odd. LISA
and Ann were given a small
table, and the pleasant little mu-
latto girl took their order and
departed.
LISA said, her slim hands fold

'It's so holland I've been
pretty busy" answered Ann
evasively.
"Oh, yes, an engaged girl and
her trousseau," said LISA, and
smiled, though not with her eyes
''When's the great day? Or
haven't you set the date YETI"
Ann hesitated and then she
said evenly, Move haven't sci
the date YETI
LISA laughed. swell, if I were
in your place, I wouldn't lose
any time. DR.. Frazier's darned
attractive, and with so many men
away at the war, he's likely to be
snatched up any minute" she
suggested lightly.

responding to them, was a little
too much.
LISA smiled, pleased at the
thought that Ann was jealous of
her. "But, my dear" she pro-
tested prettily, ''I'm not in the
least in love with Tracy. He's a
sweet old thing and I'm terribly
fond of him but / haven't the
faintest objection to his marrying
you, if he wants to!"
On their way out of the tea
room, half an hour later, there
were number of women in
the foyer, waiting for tables, and
among them was a slender blond
with too much makeup, wear
ing a sheer, thin black frock and
an enormous black cartwheel hat.
AS Ann made her way through
the group she came face to face
with the blond, who started, and
shrank a little, before she recov-
cred herself to say hesitantly,
"Oh-hello, Ann"
And Ann said evenly, Hello,
Julie"
There was a tiny taut silence,
and LISA looked curiously from
Ann to Julie, so that Ann knew
that LISA expected to be intro
duced.
Julie, this is Miss Marven,
LISA, Mrs. Barton!'
And LISA said, round-eyed,
with every evidence of delighted
surprise, ''Not Julie Barton?"
The painful red surged up un-
der jules too-heavy makeup,
her eyes looked sick and hunted.
But she said evenly, eyes, Miss
Marven-Ive heard a lot about
you, too"
LISA laughed, ''Not really! I'm
much to unimportant to be talk
ed about"
"You dance beautifully and -
Lyn loves dancing" said Julie
quietly.

Detailed instructions for the do

Despite the difficulties of location,
property costing S2,780,000 was
donated by the Navy during May

able property are limited both by
statute and War Assets Admniis-
tration regulations to the following
