Probably you've heard about the
great—or perhaps "super -colossal"
would be the more appropriate
word—baking contest which re-
cently came to a grand climax over
in New' York. Even so, you may
still be interested in reading part
of what a NEW YORKER re-
porter had to say about the finals
of the big event, Ile starts in by
saying that he dropped in at the
grand ballroom of the Waldorf at
10:30 a.m.-
4 n *
When it had been under way n
couple of hours, and, sniffing plea-
surably, watched a hundred con-
testants — ninety-seven .aproned
ladies and three aproned men —
cooking away at a hundred gleam-
ing while General Electric Strato-
liner Ranges, marked with red
numbers from 1 to 100.
*. *
Pillsbury officials, identifiable by
lapel tags, scurried past us, as did
a dozen or so ladies dressed much
like nurses—General Electric home
economists, it turned out, there to
advise contestants on the use of
G.E. ranges.
A publicity lady we sought out
told us that the contestant were
the winners of a qualifying -recipe
competition held by mail last fall,
and that each was working on her
(or his) entry for the final; that
they hailed from thirty-seven states,
the District of Columbia, and
Alaska; that every woman jell and
man jack who had been invited had
shown up; that six categories of
concoction were permitted them
(b r ea d s, cakes, pies, cookies,
entrees, and desserts), the only pro-
visos being that no alcoholic liquids
be used and that each recipe re-
quire not less than half a cup of
Pillsbury's Best Enriched Flour;
that all entries had to be in by five
o'clock; and that they would be
evaluated -in fact, at that moment
some were being evaluated—by a
committee of seven judges, who
would award prizes ranging from
fifty thousand dollars to five
hundred.
e A e
There was quite a bit more to the
story, which space will not permit
hie to quote here. But the NEW
YORKER man had to leave before
the judging had been completed,
and couldn't tell us the name of
the Grand Prize winner or the
nature of tete prize-winning recipe,
which received the $50,000 award.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. When a sudden death occurs
h' a family after wedding invita-
tions hare been mailed ,should the
wedding he postponed?
A. Not necessarily, however, the
plane should be changed. Recall
all invitations excepting those of
the two immediate families, and
have the wedding as quiet as
possible.
Q. If a want and a woman are
dining together in a restaurant and
the tea is served in a pot, who
pours it?
A. If the waiter does not pour
for them, then the woman should
attend to this rite.
t.)• If a woman is standing di-
rectly in a man's way, must he tip
his hat when he .irks her permis-
sion to pass?
A. Yes, as she steps aside he
should tip his hat and thank her.
t7, 1s it alt right to correct a
9515011if lie mispruuonuces your
name?
A. If he does it only once, it
would probably be better to ignore
it. But if he persisti in the mis-
pronounciation, merely say, "My
name is Gordon, not Jordon," but
do so graciously, without showing
resentment.
1,3 Is it eorre.-t 10 eat cake at
rhe table with tete fingers?
A, Small cakes and slices of
plain cake may be eaten with the
fingers, but soft -frosted cake or
French pastries require a fork.
Q. At what time should the
ushers arrive for a church wedding?
A, No later thin an hour before
the time appo'nted for the cere-
mony.
Q. if you are paying a call on
a person who has just moved into
your neighborhood, is it proper to
ask to be shown around her house?
A, It is much better to wait for
your hostess to suggest this, as
she may not be ready for inspec-
tion.
Q. is it intpr.-per to say "thank
you" to a servant? ,
A. Most certainly not. A sin-
cerely spoken "thank you" is never
out of place.
Q. When a house guest has per-
mission from her hostess to invite
a friend to dinner, or some other
affair, by whom should the invita-
tion be extended?
A. All invitations in this case
should come front the hostess.
Q. Does an acquaintance of a
bereaved family have to wear any
special kind of clothes when
attending the funeral?
A. You should choose your most
inconspicuous clothes — blaek, if
possible, otherwise dark colors.
Q. Who .should stand the expense
of the engraving and mailing of
wedding invitations and announce-
ments?
A. The bride's parents.
