Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. How does one properly go
about removing the bones from a
fish at the dinner table?
A. Lift the end of the bone
with the fork, then pinching it
between the fork and the knife,
lift it all the way out. In some

cases, you might have to use your
fingers, and this is quite all right
if you do not permit your fingers
to touch the fish.
Q. Is it proper for a divorcee
to insert the announcement of her
second engagement in the news-
paper?
A. *hile there is no rule
against this, usually the second
engagement is announced more
quietly -- just by letting relatives
and friends know shortly before
the wedding.
Q. What should a girl do if her
family cannot afford an elaborate
wedding?
A. The only logical thing for
her to do in this case is to plan a
very simple ceremony in her
church. A big, formal wedding is
NOT a requisite to or a guarantee
of a happy married life.
Q. I've been criticized for
eating all of one particular food
at a time — that is, all my salad,
then all my potatoes, then all my
meat. Is there anything wrong
with this?
A. No. There's no rule of
order regarding the eating of
one's meal.

By SUSAN DELIGHT

type desserts for many social
events. The flavors of moat
fruit and vegetable desserts
are well-known, but those of
two newcomers, Orange -
Carrot Silk Pie and Apricot
(Mon Cake, puzzle most
partakers who are intrigued
but puzzled by flavoring in-
gredients.

1 can (30 ounces) apricot
halves
2% cups cake flour
11/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
% cup salad oil
5 egg yolks
2 teaspoons grated lemon
peel
1 cup egg whites, 7 to 8
% teaspoon cream of tartar
Lemon whipped cream
(note)
cup toasted sliced al-
monds
Drain apricots, reserving
two-thirds of the syrup for
liquid in the cake. Puree apri-
cots in electric blender o food
mill. Measure 1, cup puree for
cake; chill remaining puree
for garnish.
Sift flour, sugar, baking
powder and - salt into large
mixing bowl; "make a well"
in center. Add oil, egg yolks,
two-thirds cup apricot syrup,
1 cup apricot puree and lemon
peel. Beat mixture thoroughly

Q. How can I make my own
mucilage?
A. By, mixing equal parts of
gum arabic and tragacanth, and
dissolving this in hot water to the
proper consistency.
Q. How can I "set" the colors
in garments?
A. You cam usually do a good
job of this with table salt,
although epsom saltsare better
for washing and rinsing
delicately colored fabrics. Dis- ,
solve a teaspoonful of the salts to
each gallon of water. The most
delicate shades will not run or
fade.
Q. How can I clean a suede
jacket?
A. Best of all is professional
treatment. But if you want to try
it yourself,one method that is
often effective consists of .rubbing
the suede thoroughly with a

earth and alum, then following
with a good brushing.

paint over an already enameled
surface, how can I prevent it
from running?
A. Try adding a little corn-
starch to your enamel.
• Q. Have you any tips on the
easier application of oil stains or
water stains on raw wood?
A. Try using a cellulose
sponge, instead of a brush. A
sponge will require less frequent
dipping, and will make it easier
to regulate 'the amount being
applied. And in addition, the
square edges of the sponge help
when working in corners or along
edges.
Q. How can I remove candle
grease that has spattered over
black suede shoes?
A. Cover the greasyareas with
brown wrapping paper, then hold
a warm iron over the paper and
the spots will be absorbed,

washing of very greasy dishes
much easier?
A. By squeezing lemon juice
into your hot water before
beginning your chore.

linseed oil, three gills of tur-

umber, and six tablespoons of

hair shampoo when I've run out
of the real thing?
A. Men's shaving cream
makes a very good lather for the
hair.

Paper p acemats
By BUROKER &
HUNTSINGER •
A variation, as illustrated,
shows a placemat with a mod-
ern, abstract look, done by
open-end weaving. First, cut
from the side to the opposite
margin, snipping along to
make the warp wide, narrow,
smooth or uneven. Then, in-
terlace contrasting strips that
have been cut in .straight
though varied widths.
Actually, this type of paper -
craft or • paper weaving is
based in skills known back in
man's Stone Age. For centu-
ries, cloth has been made
from fibers of flax or cotton
plants. Since 2000 B. C., Chi-
nese wove delicate silkworm
threads into the finest of ma-
terials.
Basically, the process in-
volves interlacing lengthwise
and crosswise threads: But, of
course, real skill comes ,in
finding ways to make inter-
estering or beautiful patterns.
Nowadays, powerful and fast
machines weave most of the
materials used in clothes, so
making hand-woven cloth is
considered an art today. It
YOUR HANDWRITING TELLS
Enthusiasm seen
inrt crossings
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON
Certified Master
Graphoanalyst
Dear Dorothy:
My husband has just retired
and we moved from a large
city to this isolated lake area.
I was born and raised in the
city, and I am miserable in
this kind of life. I am so de-
pressed and I have lost in-
terest in everything. I'm too
shy to make friends. What's
the matter with me?
L. T.
Dear L. T.:
You're shy because you
think you are.
Your enthusiasm is your ex-
citement trait, seen in the
long sweeping t crossings. It
could attract all the friends
you want and more, if you
would let it run its course.
But, you keep applying the
brakes of caution, seen in the
straight strokes at the end of
lines, and you jolt yourself to
an almost sudden stop.
Seen in the evaluation of the
upswing endings on your
words, you are on standby for
attention. As you have waited
and waited for others to come
to you, you have spent your
time accumulating a lot of
empty "supposes."
You "suppose" people are
ridiculing you, seen in the
high part of the n. You
"suppose" these people will
disapprove of your way of life,
seen in the large t loops. You
"suppose," with all your
heart, that people will not ac-
cept you.
Basically, you like people,
seen in the large lower loops
and far forward slant. You
like to be active and busy,
seen in the length of the loops.
Togelther with your enthusi-
asm set free, you could make
your little city come alive.
With a minimum amount of
self-interest and a maximum
amount of "people" interest,
your attractive personality
could take off like a kite, and
you could be flying high with
friends on every side.
Push yourself out into the
lives of those about you
and your ego will begin to re-
charge automatically. At
least, give it a try, before you
tag yourself that shy little
"lady of the lake."

takes patience and talent to
weave threads or wool.
But it is as much fun and as
easy as a picnic to weave pa-
per placemats on a pleasant
summer. day.
A favorite way of enjoying
summer's sunshine is over a
good meal in the open air.
This is the time when families
head for parks or patios
where any picnic table is
bound to become even more,
festive with the addition of
bright, colorful placemats.
Plain construction paper, 12
by 18 inches makes a good
size. Draw a faint line after
measuring a border on all
sides of one and a quarter
inches. Then, in order to make
sure both sides will be even,
fold the paper in half, but be
sure to crease it as lightly as
possible.
Cut straight strips from the.
fold to the border. Vary the
width of these cuts so you can
create an intricate -looking
pattern.
Next, cut strips of paper of
contrasting colors. Be sure
these are the same width as
those in the large piece of pa-
per. This results in a place -
mat that has a conventional or
regular pattern that resem-
bles weaving. It, means the
warp ( the base) and the wood
(the interlacing strips) are of
uniform width.
