Top Drawer Test"
THE CAR SEATING TEST:
Your score will be nil If you
and your husband sit side by
side, leaving the other couple
to themselves.
You're middling If the two
women sit together in back
with the men in front. You
grasp the niceties If you sit
with the other man and your
husband sits with the other
woman.
THE TABLE NAPKIN
TEST: Tops if you use nap
kins and no napkin rings.
MEAL TIME TEST: You get
a low score by having your eve
ming meal before eight and
calling it supper.
It's all right if you feed
yourselves around midnight
and call that supper. If you
use the dining room sideboard
to store letters, bills and but
tons, you get a very low score.
THE PRUDERY TEST: If
you use pretty words to ex-

ANIMAL TEST: BY all
means breed dogs rather than
rabbits and be on nodding
