Modern Etiquette
by Roberta Lee
Q. My husband and I took
some guests for an auto ride re-,
cently, and I sat in the front seat
with my husband, our guests in
the rear. I have been told this
' was wrong. Was it?
A. Yes. You should have asked
one of your guests to sit in front,
while you sat in the back with
the others.
Q. If one is eating in a res-
taurant where small butter pats
are served in little paper con-
tainers, is it all right to let the
knife rest on the pat when no£
in use?
A. Never. The knife, when not
in use, should rest along the up-
per right part of the plate —.
and never, of course, with the
handle of the knife resting on
the table.
Water Skiing
Easy To Learn
Water skiing may look, hard,.
but Jts really a cinch, according
to James Busing,. pioneer 'ski
champion and director of the
spectacular water show at Ponce
X14 Leon Springs,
Anyone with any aptitude for
sports Can learn to water .ski in
half an hour, Mr. Busing de-
glared, And lie has proved that
statement, on many occasions,.
He recently .taught An entire
family how to ski in just that
time,
What is more, the would-be
skier doesn't need to know how
to swim,. as long as he or she
wears a life jacket. The jacket
will .hold anyone up in the water
indefinitely in ease of a spin.
1.1Q skier merely floats in the
water until the boat swings
round for • the pick-up.
The shallow water start is best.
for beginners, the champion
says. But a few minutes of dry
land practice, Mr. Busing as-
serts, will pay off in making
your first attempt at water ski-
ing successful..
Don the skis, then sit on them
close up to your heels and have
a friend pull you to standing po-
sition, Here is the rule
for water keep your
elbows straight and allow your-
self to be pulled by the motor
don't pull' yourself. Once up,
keep arms straight, knees slight-
ly .flexed,
After a few dry runs you're
ready for the water. Water ski-
ing ..is'not dangerous, ,but a few
precautions are- sensible. If you
can't. swim, wear a life, jacket.
Should you fall, throw away the
tow bar to avoid entangling.
yourself. Don't wrap the tow
line. around your fingers or arm.
A shallow-water start • is easy
far beginners. Sit in the water
with the skis angled up in front
of you, tips out of water. When
the line is taut, yell "Hit it!"
and the operator will accelerate
to pull you up. Remember, let
the motor do the work. Don't
try to pull yourself up, just con-
centrate on keeping your arms
extended and your skis straight.
Once up, sayS Mr. Busing,
you'll find the going is - easy.
Just keep, in the center of the
boat's wake until you gain con-
fidence. Later you can try cross-
ing the, wake to either side, to
add' Variety to your skiing and
to enjoy the smoother water. To
turri..7i•ight, just press- hard on
your left ski and.lean in the di-,
rection of the turn. Reverse the
procedure to turn left.
Landing is no problem either
— just pull. in near and parallel
to the shore, and-release the tow
line. You'll glide to a smooth
stop and drop to the sand in
shallow water.
How To Keep
Wives Contented
Advice to new husbands from
"All About Men" by Joseph
Peck, M.D.
"You can, keep your wile
contented, if not happy; withoUt
keeping her barefoot and preg-
nant and without buying her
orchids every week, and the time
to begin is before the . . honey-
moon fades.
"It may be a good thing if
she has to work after marriage,
but be sure it is a womanly oc-
cupation and that she doesn't
bring home more money than
you do. If she works, you should
assume some of the housekeeping
chores, but there are certain
things you must not do.
"Carry out the garbage, but
don't cook or Wash dishes unless
she is sick. You may dry the
dishes, because in this case you
are merely helping. Let her
take the lead in such chores.
"Clean up the mess you made
by dropping ashes and paper
on the living room rug; but don't
scrub the kitchen floor or make
the beds or you will lose face.
She will try to saddle her chores
on you, and yon' may be so much
n love you can deny her noth-
ing, It so, be so awkward and
sloppy that she will grab the
dishcloth in disgust and chase
you out 'of the kitchen. If ex-
treme measures are in order,
drop a favorite dish on the fleet
and break it. If she asks you
to hang Wallpaper, louse up the
'ob and she will never ask you
again . .
"And if she asks you to cook
meals, make a mess, end I do
mean mess. If you fry eggs With-
out burning the to the iinpang
you'll get to fry eggs 'often, If
you have to luck in burning
theen to a tasteless crisp, you
might try sprinkling them with
pipe ashes. But Whatever you
do, doh't prove yourself a better
creek than your Wife."

thinking, has no equal. It is the
one organization which brings
together urban and rural mem-
bers, helping each to under-
stand the problems of the other.
At one time the member-
ship was comprised almost en-
tirely of farm women, centred
around problems of specific in-

ing on farms and in farm homes:
Novi- the picture has changed.
Activities of farm women have
become.. more varied and pro-
gressive; in fact many of their
interests are very little different
from those living in urban dis-
tricts. W.I. programmes and pro-
jects have kept pace with the
changing times embracing extra
`topics, cultural, educational and
practical. The W.I. helps all
women, rural and urban to be-
cone more efficient housewives;
to save time and energy — and
then helps them to put to good
Use the time that has been saved.

rural sense but in its Wider ap-

Seaman's Slang

When,is a kitchen not a kitch-

everything on board a ship has
a dfferent name from its equival-

heads, and; the walls are bulk-
heads.
Why should this be? Well,
galleys are galleys simply be-
cause that's what they've been
called for centuries. That's why
companionways are staircases,
and ports are windows. Seamen
are responsible for having hand-
ed down this jargon froni an
other age.
A seaman who appeared as a
witness in court was asked by
a lawyre: "Where exactly Was
the defendant 'when you first Saw
h
The sailor looked blank: "I'm
sorry sir — I don't understand.
What's the defendant?"
With heavy sarcasm the law-
yer asked the court to explain
the meaning of the term. Then
said: "Now perhaps you can an-
swer my question."
"Oh , yes, sir," rejoined the
sailor brightly, "he was ;on
Monkey Island."
"Monkey Island?"
"Yes, sir, just, abaft the bin-
nacle."
"Please be more explicit,"
snapped the lawyer, beginning to
redden as titters rippled round
the court:
"It was Over the after end of
the bridge -- you know sir —
just on the fore side of the fid-
ley," explained the sailor — get-
tinghis own back with a venge-
ance.
"Order! Order in court!" call-
the usher as soon as he could
control his own laughter.
A few seamen have sense
enough to take steps to simplify
these nautical terms for the
benefit of the uninitiated. The
west country bargee, for in-
stance, who has to call on his
wife to steer -when working
through narrow rivers takes ex-
tra precautions. •
Realizing that "port," •"star-
board," and "amidships" mean
