even if some listening in on the
group discussions are sure they

Here are some standard GUS
toms that might make it easier
for you or your dates or friends
to feel like an "insider," even
before the formal party.
INVITATIONS: Invite at least
a week ahead. The sooner the
more complimentary. The late
bid is also acceptable. Don't let
failure to ask early keep you
from the party! But if you ask,
very close to party time. it is

see her home. The asker pays
for the tickets. Usually the boy
prefers and expects to cover any
other expenses.
CORSAGES: It is customary
for the boy to give a corsage,
for most special-event dances or
formal parties. Whenever in
doubt he asks around to see If
most boys will give corsages.
Then he let's it be known to the
girl that she may expect flowers.
To her, as to him, this Is a very
important thing!

Shod Roe Salad

With shad roe in season we

you are tired of serving 1t broiled

shad roe and cucumber salad for
something different.
Let / Shad roe simmer for 20
minutes in salted water to which
a tablespoon of vinegar has been
added.
Let it cool, then cut it in slices
and pour over it a tart French
dressing made with lemon juice

cumber, peeled. cubed and
crisped in ice water, and enough
mayonnaise to moisten. Place on
crisp lettuce leaves. Garnish with
another unpeeled cucumber cut

Accessories

The flowers that bloom in the
spring are being made to leave
the gardens and bloom artificial
ly on collars, cuffs. hats, hand
bags and in corSages.
Give a bright spring pickup
to your winter outfits, sweaters,
and suits with these charming
little flower accents.
The creel-type basket is lac
quered and has a wide stiffened
grosgrain ribbon handle and
heaps of flowers piled on the lid
and over the side. Let your
flowers match or contrast with
the color of the basket which
may be in floral tones or in white
or black.
In honor of the coming coro-
nation an imaginative little
flower crown has been concocted.

prove to be a delightful acces-

thing suitable, not too costly or
hard to find, or gives a choice.
The boy may order delivery of
the corsage in advance-in that
case, it's gallant to add the time
for the date-start to his name
on the gift card. But for most
it is more satisfying if he pre-
sents the corsage when he calls
for her. The girl prefers to place
her flowers (stems down as they
grow.)
AT PARTY TIME: The boy
calls for the girl, at the agreed
time. She is ready but waits for
him to help her on with her
wrap. after family greetings,
quick chit-chat. Either may
make the first move to travel on.
To be on time compliments the
committee and your partner.
Why waste name-band music on
an empty dance floor?
AT THE DANCE: The girl
leaves her wrap, in the girls
cloakroom, or the boy checks it.
If he overlooks this, she may
ask him to do so. Whenever in
doubt. query an attendant on
what is customary. Both should
feel free to inquire about all
these little courtesieS. At ar
rival if girl vanishes to powder
room, the boy stands by, after
wrap-checking, to wait for her
to rejoin him.
DURING DANCING: The boy
and girl dance together, for the
first and last dance, plus at
least one inbetween, by tradi-
tion.
Dance e-trading customs vary.
Some couples trade none. dance
with partners only! The more
sociable trend, at many schools
now, is to exchange with four or
five couples, then dance mostly
with your partner during the
last half of the party. At any
formal couple-dance, the boy
does not rove unless his girl has
a dance-partner or talk-mate.
Also for gallantry, he serves her,
at the punch bowl; offers to re-
plenish her plate at the buffet
table.
AFTER THE DANCE: You
say thank you," or at least
nod or smile at any member of
the committee or chaperone
within range. For a post-party
snack-stop, join the crowd In
preference to single-dating. For
finale, boy and girl exchange
pleasantries and say 1t was fun
to be together, at q party so
outstanding that it's something
to remember long after the last
dance.

CLOTHES CARE: If you're
getting ready to put winter
clothes away, see first that
they're thoroughly clean. Try
to put most clothing in sealed
garment bags; wool hose and
sweaters will go in sealed jars

and wrap heavy overcoats,
with moth repellent included,
than to let them hang over

stretch out Of shape And
have shirts washed soft before
storing. Starch attracts in
sects, especially silver fish.

Common casualty among home

Common casualty among home
kitchen utensils is the strainer,
according to many housewives.
When the wire mesh pulls off the
frame, it's "destination-trash
can" for this utensil-a nuiS-
ance and a waste.
The fault, household equip
ment specialists of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture believe. is neglect of an i'm
portant rule for efficiency: Use
the right tool for the job. When
a recipe says: Force through
sieve" the housewife too often
uses strainer not made for the
job. To be sturdy enough to
stand forcing or pressing, the
wire mesh needs to be supported
by croSswireS. But better for
this work are the food presses,
designed especially for speedy.
