Modern Etiquette

I1 Ioberlo I40

Q. Is a person really obliged to give his reason for declining an in- Vitatioh?

A. While there is no obligation attached. surely it is more gracious to give some reason for your in- ability to attend an affair to which someone has been kind enough to invite you.

Q. Is there any rule of etiquette that governs the length of mar- riage engagements?

A. No: but long engagements are not so common as they were years ago. The usually-accepted length of an engagement today is six months.

Q. How many vegetables is it necessary to serve at a dinner? A. Two vegetables are sufficient.

Prevent Yellowing

White clothes that -are to be packed away can be prevented from turning yellow, if a large sheet is dipped,into bluing water tstronz enough to make the sheet quite blue). and then this sheet is spread over the top of the chest in whch the clothes are being packed.

Vinegar

Add a small amount of garlic to the quart bottle of vinegar and it will give the vinegar a delicious flavor. It will prove excellent for salads.

Floor Polish

An excellent floor polish can be made by using equal parts of melt- ed candle grease and turpentine.

Teen-Agerls Haunl

Parents Should Provide Suitable Meeting Place For Children

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am I girl of 14. We live in a quiet com- munity wherc there are not many kids. There is a store not far from here where the girls and boys go in the evening for a soda, and to listen to the jukebox. iilien we leave. the boys walk us home along

the main road to make sure we arrive home safely.

- E. H. ANSWER: The problem of the local soilii store is present in almost every community. Stores that are habitually patronized by a teen-age group often .acquire the reputation, sometimes right. sometimes wrong, of being "not I proper place to be seen." Each case must be judged by itself, and parents should make inquiries to ascertain whether a store, or soda parlor, draws the right crowd. in most CIISGS. thereiswnotliing wrong, with these ilaces. The youngsters gather for a soda or sand- viich and to hear the latest tunes. it is certainly in "the proprietors interest that he maintain his establishment properly. for he has his local reputation to uphold. if the youngsters get out of hand. they are usually told to go home if they can't. behave. and-are not wel- comed hack. Mom or Dad should check with the store in your town, and find out from the owner how he reacts to the teen-age situation. If he shows a co-operative attitude with theeparerits. and if parents make frequent check-ups on the place and its patrons.- the store would be worthy of approval.

A GATHERING PLACE FOR TEEN-AGEII!

Group activity is the primary need of adolescence. and it is cer- tainly the best way to keep teen-agcrs entertained. The group has to have some place to meet, and if one isn't provided by parents. the" children will find it for themselves. If the older folks don't like the local store idea. they should take steps to provide A substitute. The basement of a home could be turned over to the kids for gatherings. All the equipment needed is a phonograph or jukebox, some comfort- able chairs, and an assortment of "snacking food."

ELLEIl'S DIARY

By on Island Farmer”: Wife

It won I cold wind of March that today wondered somewhat deso- lntely along this valley and tonight comiplnlm about the yards . . . Perhaps it now mourns for time that in put. regretting that pres- ently the year puts a new season on the calendar and winter must

. . , flow pleasant it was! Though, since Nature is pleased to main- tain I. balance which both glvu and withdraws, whether or not it was as healthful as those of more avbtmdsnt snow and keener frosts is ii question this Family discusses. In any event it is likely that in the years to come, the younger genera- tions will look back to remember it.

To them. it. will be "That winter there was no snow" -- indelibly stamped in memory as are some of those years of the past. we remem- ber with James: "The dry sum- mer." when for the most part the farmer's crops were meagre tak- ings; and usually when a stormy night is against the panes and the grandchildren wide-eyed about his chair, "that winter when the drifts left by storm alter storm piled so high, children could coast off roofs. Snow! There never was the like of it. . . railroads were

blocked, travelling by road diffi- cult, entrances to stable doorways often a tunnel through white. . . Dear dear, we have had no snow to

speak of in recent. winters!"

And the youngsters try to pic- accus- tomed to the sight of snow-plows, cars. trucks, tractors and other "Super" machines that in this powerful age pass and re-pass fol- lowing on the heels of their snow-

stoi-ms?

"If tie could Just get a nice fall of snow," we overheard one of our farmers say today, eyes regarding the heavens for R sign, "it would be only fun to get those heavier logs to the mill by sleigh. But as it is." he smiled to his helper, will require both 'brain and brawn' to put them onto the trail- ers."

"We didn't know how well-off we were in those old-time winters," the other chuckled, ”when we had to -wade to the woods knee-deep in snowi"

What divergent tokens of cil- mates we were privileged to look upon today! At this house "in the road" when with a little fellow not quite well enough yet to be out of doors in the prevailing chill we faced a armor world indoors to- gether. T ere was the pretty sprig of orange blossoms we received from a summery clime. scent of blossoming, fruiting groves bound up in the fragrance . .. Romance

And then. the scenes latitudes apart, just beyond the window a man clad in stout winter gairtb. his breath a bit white on the morning air, smillrigly held up for our in- spectlon, a. befuri-ed red fox. "This makes a round dozen." he called. ”Not bad trapping since winter set in! You wouldn't have . . . I said "have!" he laughed. ”not be'- an. old hen?

And where now are the greening The tulips and other, spring-plants? Marking time un-, til this wind gives way to a gentle breeze and Old Sol sends aizainl warmly caressing sunbeams. Then! indeed without stopping to prove; it on a calendar, we shall know that spring is here!
