MODERN
MANNERS
Certain Foods at Certain Times
Present Problems to the Diner
BY CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

All of us find that certain
foods, at times. present prob
lens. The old fingers or forks"
question and whether to cut
lettuce with a knife can cause
indecision and embarrassment.
Let's discuss those foods that
most commonly cause trouble.
Should chicken drumsticks
or crop bones be picked up and
eaten with the fingers? We all
have to admit that we like to
gnaw on a bone. Perhaps the
desire comes down to us from
our cave-man ancestors-who
knows? But, whether we like
to, or not, we must admit that
a person gnawing on a bone is
not a very pleasing sight to the
beholder. Therefore. I would
suggest when dining formally,
or in a public restaurant, this
pleasure be dispensed with,
even II it hurts! When dining
at home, use your own judg-
ment.
Opinions are divided as to
whether or not one should eat
shoestring potatoes. crisp bacon
and asparagus with the fin-
gers. I think the decision in
this instance should follow
along the same lines as that
to do with bones. Granted that
1t Is much easier to eat them
with the fingers, it is such a
messy performance that I think
q fork should definitely be used
when eating them in public.
A Time for Fingers
There are many foods that
may properly be eaten with
the fingers. In some cases 1t
is impossible to eat them any
other way. Corn on the cob,
olives, radishes, potato chips.
celery and steamed clans are
but a few that come under
this heading.
Sandwiches dripping with
mayonnaise, or with very soft
filings, should be eaten with a
knife and fork. Others may,
OF course, be eaten with the
fingers. The same rule applies
to cake. If the icing Is thick
and sticky, common sense de-
signates the use of a fork.
There has been a controversy
for many years whether to cut,
or not to cut, lettuce with a
knife. Personally. I subscribe
to the edict that a knife should
be used. 1t would seem only
common sense to do so! At
tempting to cut lettuce with
the edge of a fork usually leads
10 disaster. To guard against
the lettuce landing in your lap,
or in the middle of the table.
by all means use a knife if
you need to.
Don't Cut Oysters
1t is definitely considered
bad form to cut large oysters
Evening star., 1956-03-25

or shrimp when they are served
in q cocktail. This rule has
always been a hard one for me
to abide by! Piercing q large,
formidable oyster, or huge
shrimp, dipping it into the
sauce, hopefully trusting that
you viii be able to get it to
your mouth without miShap,
is an upsetting performance,
to say the least! But it is
obvious that cutting an oyster
or shrimp would be extremely
awkward, so this is one case
where the rule Of mo knife"
should be adhered to. even If
it does spoil your enjoyment.
The decision on how to eat
different foods must be sub
ject to the time, the place and
the situation. Just attempt to
eat in q manner that is not
offensive to others, but don't
make such a point of fancy
table manners" that you don't
enjoy your food.
Questions and Answers
@. Is it proper to pour water
from your drinking glass over
your finger tips when no finger
bowl is supplied in a restau-
rant? OF course, one has to
use a plate or cup and saucer
to catch the water and it is
messy, but sometimes neces-
sary. Mrs. ]. L. X.
A. 1t is not considered good
taste to rinse the fingers in
the manner you describe. I
would suggest that you ask for,
and use. only a finger bowl for
this purpose.
@. I have been a widow for
q number of years and am
soon to be married again. I
want to let my immediate
friends know. Should I have
informals made and write a
brief note myself. or would it
be best to send announce
ments? My father is living
and I have a step-mother.
Mrs. b. r. N.
A. Whether or not you send
a personal note announcing
your marriage would depend
upon the number of people
you wish to send it to. If it
is a large group, I would sug-
gest engraved announcements.
These, of course, should be is
sued by your father and STEP
mother.
@. My boy friend has asked
me to spend the evening at the
home of some married friends
of his. I have never met them.
and ! am wondering if should

A. I would strongly advise re-

the hostess should call you and

"a boy and his dog"-how many

In our everyday picture taking,
too, children and pets are among
the most popular subjects there

that more cameras are aimed at
kids, CANNES and cats in one day

It's interesting to note that both

NEW STORAGE PLANT FOR
FISH AT ATLANTIC WITH
10000 LIB. CAPACITY

Atlantic, N. C.,-Clayton Full
cher of Atlantic, one of the largest
seafood dealers on the North
Carolina coast, is seeking to rem
edy to some extent ''the daily
fresh market" situation which has
plagued the commercial fishing
business in this State for so long
a time.
Here at Atlantic, near the east
ern terminus of transcontinental
Highway 70 and Familiarity known
to many as "the jumping off
place" on North Cardinals coast,
Fulcher is constructing a cold
Storage facility that will have a
capacity of storing and freezing
up to 100000 pounds of seafood.
Fulcher, who ships seafeod
products throughout this and sew
eral other states, hopes his cold
storage facility will enable him
to spread out seasonal catches of
seafood over a much longer period
and thus enable him to supply the
market at times when fish, shrimp,
oysters, clans, and other seafood
are in short supply.
Cesil Morris of Atlantic, chair
man of the commercial fisheries
committee of the State Board of
Conservation and Development, is
giving Fulcher every encourage
ment in the latter's efforts to keep
as much seafood off the market
at one time as possible and thus
make in a real sense a better
economic situation for the dealers
as well as the commercial fisher
men.
In this connection, Governor
Hodges has said on numerous
occasions that the commercial
fishing industry can be helped
materially by better processing
and attractive packaging of sea-
food products taken from State
waters.

In spite of all the talk about
what an easy life the modern
woman leads, she has a pretty hard

physical strain that was grand

terrific. Just about the time today's
woman gets her mind made up
about something, along comes
some high pressure salesman try
ing to change it. Changing her
mind has long been considered a
woman's privilege, but when it has
to be done too often, it can be
very wearing on the nerves. It's
all very confusing. Every medium
of communication joins in telling
Miss or Mrs. 1866 that she must
remain youthful and glamorous at
all costs. She must be slender, her
hair and teeth must CLEAN, her
complexion glow, and her hands be
as soft as a baby's to get hus-
band, keep a husband, or succeed
as a career girl. There just dosen't
seem to be any place in the mod
ern world for a gal who would
like to relax and be her natural,
sloppy self. Consequently, girl

of highly-touted cosmetics and
watches her diet. Then what?

later she reads a warning that
the diet can result in serious dam
