Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. What should two persons do
if introduced to each other for the
second time?
A. If the occasion is a formal one, they should both acknowledge the
introduction and not attempt .any •
explanations that would be embar-
rassing to the person making the
introduction, however, if the oc-
casion
acasion is an informal one, it is all
right' to recall the previous meeting,
Q. Is it necessary to send a gift
when one is invited to a church
weddi ,,, but not to the reception?
A. In this ease, h is not necessary.
Duly an invitation to the reception
would require a gift.
Q. Should one who is in mourn-
ing send Holiday greetings to in-
timate friends?
A. YcS, if one wishes to do so.
However, it is not imperative, nor
should it be expected.
Q. Is it proper fora bride-to-be
to call her friends by telephone to
request that they serve as brides-
maids at her wedding?
A. No; it is much better if she
calls personally upon each of her
friends for this purpose. If this is
not possible, as in the case of out-
ofrtown friends, then friendly: notes.
of request should be written by
hand.
Q. Is it necessary for a man to
rise when being introcuced to an-
other man, and also to shake hands?
A. Yes to both questions, unless,

it would be awkward to shake
bands,

to speak.

her engagement if her parents are
dead?
A. It may be announced in the
name of her brother. or her near-

Do We Canadians
A timberland owner iii the State
of Washington cleared the trees
from his land and said, "That's
that," . or something similar. The
state, backed by one of its own
laws, said he must reseed or restock
his land to,ntaintain sufficient cover
for the soil. Whereupon the owner
replied that the iaod was his to do
with as he wished, and be took the
matter to court.
The trial court, the state su-
preme court, and now the Supreme
Court of the United States have
all upheld the State of Washington.
Some Americans, alarmed by the
steady increase itt govermnental
controls, may see in this only an-
other and bigger stride in a march
toward Socialism or statism."
There are other considerations in
this case, however, which should
qualify such a conclusion. Treat-
ment of the nation's soil is in quite
a different category from the right
of a businessman, for instance, to
restock his store or close it up. The
state supreme court put it elo-
quently:
Edmund Buclke once said
that a great unwritten compact
exists between the dead, the
living, and the unborn. We
leave to the unborn a colossal
financial de.ht, perhaps inescap-
able' . . . Such an inviolate
compact requires that the leave
to the unborn something more
than debts and depleted natural
resources.
Private enterprise, better than
any system yet devised by men, can
develop and exploit natural re-
sources. But by reason of the very
forces, competition and profit,
which largely give it vitality, it
finds self-imposed conservation
difficult. Stich attempts by govern-
ment in behalf of the people to
restore and maintain a balance
should be construed not as a vic-
tory for Socialism, but for intelli-
gent capitalism,

An actress carne off the stage

was surprised when the manager
handed her a bunch of flowers and
a packet of marigold seeds.
"The flowers are from a gentle-

of seeds from a Scotsman in the
gallery," he explained.

F&W CAN 1?
By Anne Ashley

ding with glue; wrap as much, as
possible around the nail and rein-
sert in the hole pressing in firmly.

When dry, the nail will be rigid.
Any louse hunk of plaster can be
fastened in place with the, glue.
Q, How can I make a good toilet
perfume?
A. Mix two ounces of alcohol
with one-half ounce of orris root.
Keep this tightly corked in a bottle,
and shake thoroughly each time be-
fore using.
Q, How can I keep raisins, dates,
and figs from sticking to the, grinder
when running them through?
A. They will not stick if testa
juice is squeezed into diet grinder
before the fruit is put through it.
Q. How can I prepare parsley
for garnishing?
A. Chop the parsley very tine,
place in a cloth, squeeze the cloth
tightly, hold under the cold water
faucet for a half minute, and then
squeeze again until all the water is
out.

and hang by .drilling a small. hole

uous cloth or cardboard loop an the
underside.,
When bar soap has dissolved to
a point where it is impractical and
annoying to handle, drop it into a
little cloth bag about 5 'inches
square. This; will be ever so handy
in doing the dishes or making suds
for your laundry.
Sew a ring to the top of you,
mixer cover` and hang it from a
small curtain hook, screwed into the
base of your kitchen cabinet. This
will keep it helpfully out of your
way while your mixer's in use,
yet rightat your finger tips for
easy replacing.
Whip It Up
Evaporated milk may be whip-
ped, even more easily San some
fresh cream if treated the following
way; When a recipe calls for evap-
orated milk, whipped, placethe can
to a saucepan,. cover with cold
water, and bring just to a tumbling
boil, When cold, it will whip just
as easy as fresh cream.
It is interesting to note that this
suggestion was tested by Miss
Farmer's famous School of Cook-
ery in
ook-ery-in Boston, which reported that
it not only worked beautifully, but
increased the volume of the milk
after it was whipped.
Cynicism: It should be easy to
stake an honest living—there isn't
