Give Money
She was quite right in beliovlu
that in general a young woman
lowered her dignity in receiving
money gifts from any man not a
member of her immediate family.
But in this case the present was
simply from an employer to an
employee and the yonhg woman
was very foolish to look at it in
the way she did. As a matter of
fact the young employer snag
a better judgment in giving
the money than he would h
showed in giving herta mks
some personal preeon.
young correspondent felt that her
reputation was at stake. that her
honor had been sullled and I am
.sure she was disappointed whenl
i i told her that nothing of the sort
sd happened.
.h The times when new gifts are
.net in good taste are “most fre-
iquently when they are given be-
’esuse the giver does not want to
l-tske time to make a suitable pur-
chase. With the money. seems to
go the message: “1 our really not
interested enough in you to bother
to buy you anything. notes the

0! course it is always the part
of contidersteness for the owner
of a motor-car to have utra coats
:snd sweaters and it is also the
sporty of courtesy to assure guests
lthat they are entirely welcome to
ruse these extra garments. Per-
haps also a little urging is not out
to! place. but to insist or argue
éahout it is extremely inconsider-
latc. It is no more your adsir how

Choosing Chairs.
Then there are the hostesses
=who never Will let you sit in the
chair you pick out. They always
, want you to take another one that
' they think is more comfortable.
. They should remember that if they
:have any chairs that they believe
to be uncomfortable or unsuitable
they should banish from their liv-
ing rooms. It is very tiresome for
a guest to be forever urged to
change h seat. 01! course it is
5ccnsrtecms to lead an aged guest
to a specially comfortable chair or
to invite any guest to a chair near
the lire in winter or near a good
gll‘ht. But when a guest shows a
'prefcrence for any other seat be
considerate enough -to take his
word for his preference.
You should also take year
:nests’ word in the matter of table
hospitality. The crneileat thing a
hostess can do is to insist so
«strongly on a guest's eating more
than he is inclined to that he gives
in rather than appear to be unap-
. predative or stubborn. It used to
. be considered “good manners" for
a guest to wait to he urged a little
and so a hostess was expected to
"press" her guests to partake a
second time. Now a guest is sup—
posed to decline or accept on first
invitation and the hostus who in-
dulges in prolonged urging: is one
of the worst of the petty tyrants.
QAFE way of testing the heat
A of the oven for cake and.
pastry—making is to place a
sheet of white paper on the oven
shelf. if it turns dark brown im—
mediately the oven is too hot for
any cooking. If. when it is left
comes a golden brown it to just
the right heat for pu! pastry and
bread.
To be suitable for small cakes
and short pastry it should turn
light brown in four minutes. If
it should turn dark yellow it will
be right for large cakes.
. Marks caused with hot plates
or hot water—jugs. etc. on polished
tables may be removed by the
following application: nix a. tiny
pinch of salt with a little olive
oil and rub into elected parts.
If the mark doesn’t W with
the first application. allow the
mixture to remain on. and in a
few hours' time apply the salt and
oil again. rubbing with a circular
movement.
