Emily Post Advises

A reader asks: "Is it considered
bad manners to comment on the
appearance Of friend, or even an
acquaintance, before other peo-
pie? I love clothes and whenever
see something attractive on a
friend. I will say, What a lovely
dress you have on or How pretty
your hat is just recently I made
some such remark and was told
by a friend that it was in very bad
taste. ! would very much like to
have your opinion on this"
I see nothing wrong in making
an admiring comment when it is
true! Habitual flattery regardless
OF sincerity is in bad taste.

ment regarding an initial on

Dominating this scene are huge
lighted cutouts of 1908 lightless,
pioneer gasoline buggy; the Gothic
entrance to church; and another
family group singing carols. The
erstwhile little daughter in the first
scene is a full-fledged "Gibson
Girl" displaying an enormous
plumed hat, choking neck attire,
up-sweep hair-do, and long full
dress.
Music accompaniment is pro-
vided by the father and his mando-
lin. Also typical of the 1903 period
are fathers pointed shoes, and the
gauntlets worn by the "scorcher"
at the wheel of his latest model
chugger.

toward the spectacular and tinsely
treatment. The Yule tree is a
25-footer, loaded with brilliant
baubles and iridescent bulbs and
drenched by a deluge of colored
lighting.
The family of this generation is
caroling, too. The daughter now
appears in one of the rather shock
ingly short skirts then in vogue.
Her hubby is sporting a Raccoon
coat, typical of the times. The
serious aspect of the Christmas

outlined in lights on the Insti-

Employees Share
In Euclid Road
Profit Plans

This week The Euclid Road
Machinery Company, manufactur-
ers of large earth-moving equip
ment, is distributing $537 ,820
among its employees. This repre-
sents the employees cash portion
of the Company's Profit Sharing
Plan for a short seven month fis-
cal period ending July 81, 1852.
Earlier in the year, 1921 of the
Company's employees with one
year or more Of service received
certificates from the National City
Bank of Cleveland showing their
interests in an additional $537 ,820
placed in the Retirement Trust
Fund which is part of the same
Profit Sharing Plan.
The total of the cash bonuses
and retirement trust ALLEGATIONS is
equal to about 1890 of the Com
pany's regular payroll. Distribu-
tion of these cash bonuses and the
retirement trust shares is based
primarily on earnings. Employees
with longer service receive larger
bonuses than newer employees
with comparable normal earnings.
The Euclid Road Machinery
Company has had employee bonus
plans for about fifteen years. 1t
adopted the present Profit Shar-
ing Plan three years ago. This
company, which operates at three
separate locations in the City Of
Euclid, paid out cash bonuses of
$653,834 to 1885 employees in 1850,
and bonuses of $757,352 to 1896
employees in 1851. During these
same years, its employees with
eighteen months or more of service
also received shares in the Retire
ment Trust Fund equal to about
1870 of their earnings.
The Company believes that the
Profit Sharing Plan has helped to
attract and keep a working force
of experienced employees during
the Company's three-fold growth
in employment since 1915. It's pro-
duction employees have been rep
resented by an Independent union
since 1941. It's wage and salary
policy includes cost-of- living allow
ances and annual chronological
progress sharing increases. The
Company and the union are both
proud of their record of uninter-
rupted production since 1941.

NeIa' S christmas Album"
Traces IS Years Of Yu|e
Customs And Fashions

Two features common to each
of the albums pages" are a
family of Christmas carolers and
greeting card scenes portrayed in
the style of famous illustrators of
the last four generations.
Scene No. l Recalls 1873 Period
First of the albums four greet
ing cards, whisks the onlooker back
to 1878. A printed foreword well
comes the visitor to the Nela
Christmas display "on this the eve
of General Electric's Diamond
Anniversary" The Nela historians
recall 1878 as the year when the
Edison Electric Light Co., a fore
runner of G-E, was formed to help
the Wizard of Menlo Park" per-
feet his worlds first successful
incandescent lamp. 1t was the time
when illustrator Cooley, originator
of ladies' fashion books, was the
rage.
Thus, done in the Cooley manner,
is the albums first nostalgia greet
ing card. 1t portrays caroling
family, a little boy and his father
in a one-horse open sleigh,
a huge unlighted blue spruce, and
the fancy exterior home ornamen-
tation of that time. The dappled
grey is typical of the plump, short
legged equines common to Currier
& Ives prints. Realism is intro
duced through sleigh-ride music.
This initial greeting card harks
back to the day of bustles and
hour-glass waists for women, of
beaver top hats, seal-skin caps,
elaborate side-burns and sir-coats
for men, of high-button shoes for
over-dressed little girls, and Of
Buffalo robes for warmth. The

turing nostalgia scenes on eve of

Called "a Christmas Album" +"
the 10Th edition of General Elec-
tries annual outdoor lighted
Christmas display at Nela park
was previewed by company en-
ployees, and by members of press,
radio, and TV news staffs. Cere-
monies were climaxed by "Mr.
Cleveland" Charles A. Otis, popu-
lar octogenarian, who virtually
stepped out of the album to make
it living thing. In an old
fashioned horse-drawn cutter, Otis
led the group from start to finish
on tour of this years decorations.
He was joined in this ride by Will
liam D. Rayer, Nela employee who
gave the word to turn on last years
display during a direct broadcast
from the Korean area where he
then was serving in the armed
forces.
The Nela display, to be lighted
from p. m. until midnight daily
through January 1, 1858, is ex-
pected to attract some 100000 holi-
day sight-seers from Northern

Soup or bouillon served in a

drunk. If there are dumplings,
decorative vegetables or other gar

eaten first with the spoon. (And,
of course, the first sip is taken with

larger dinner napkins are spread

placed, casually, never refolded,
at the right of the place setting.
What should you do about
spoiled food?
Don't swallow it, though moth
ing not even a spoiled clam lis
ever spit, however surreptitiously,
into a napkin. But it is sheer ridic-
ulousness to down, for the sake of
manners, something really bad.
Deposit it on your fork and then
to the side of your plate. Screen
it, if possible, with some celery
leaves, or perhaps a bit of bread.
And, in taking it out of your
mouth, try to look as if nothing
were the matter.

DEcAUsE our table manners tell
I'D 50 much about us and are 80
> often confusing, more questions
are asked about them, ! believe,
than about any other etiquette
problem. Here are some / hear
most often:
Is the hostess serped first?
The hostess is not served first
unless she is the only lady at the
table or she is alone with her hus-
band and children. If grandmother
or even a young girl is present,
dishes are passed first to her.
WHAT'S the correct sCGy to
use the knife and fork?
Knives and forks are used either
American or Continental fashion
but a combination of the two sys-
TENS is now often seen and is quite
acceptable. Even when one uses
the American zigzag system, it is
not necessary to lay down the
knife, place the fork, tines up, in
the right hand to convey a bit of
cut-up chop to the mouth. Instead
one may place the meat in the
mouth with the left hand with the
tines of the fork down.
When are napkins taken up
and h0tU are they used?
No guest touches his napkin be-
fore his hostess has taken up hers.
Lunch-size napkins are spread,
