Dining. ree Y dear Mrs. Post: vou | please tell me in detail just the proper way of finding cne’s place at a formal din- ner where place cards are used, especiall when there are very many guests?” Ancwer: Walk around the table, read- ing the names until you come to your own. (In private houses the ~ butler is supposed to tell each guest entering the dining room, “At the right” cr “At the left.” which keeps you from making the entire circle of the table.) “My dear Mrs. Post: What is the proper size for din- ner napkins? How high chould the monogram be and just where should it be placed? Should a person whose initials are “R. A. McC. have all of these in = monogram?” Answer: The largest and therefore the most formal dinner napkins are 30 by 36 inches. The monogram, 1! to 2 inches square. is placed in the center of the napkin. The typical formal dinner napkin is 26 inches square and in many modern houses napkins as small &s 22_inches square are used for dinner. Both of these have monograms in the corner, 1 to 113 inches high. All the initials would be in best taste for a monogram on a formal tablecloth. On the other hand, *“McC” would be equally proper if you prefer. K “Dear Mrs. Post: Does it make any difference at which side of the table a woman sits in a dining car on a train?” ver: There is no rule. She Ter place according to which- ever way she prefers to face. Most Americans prefer facing forward. On European trains the majority prefer facing backward. “My dear Mrs. Post: When one couple Emily Post. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

HE pul? and paper industry is one of the greatest drains on the forest. Spruce trees have been relied upon more than any others to supply the dulp ma- terial. ‘Today the manufacturers are ifacing the problem of reforestation. The waste at saw mills is unbelievably jgreat, and the pulp and paper mills have not followed the saw mills, as they went farther South and West to the receding forests. Over 130,000 persons are employed in pulp and paper manufacturing plants, and the annual value of the product is more than §$1,000,000,000. The Sun- day edition of a large metropolitan newspaper will use all the pulp-wood from a forest of 75 acres. Therefore it is of paramount importance that ex- tensive reforestation be begun at once. The white spruce is the pulp manu- facturers’ favorite, and because the lum- ber was of little value and the foliage ili-smelling, great forests of these trees are available at a 'time when paper is being used in vast quantitfes. At Put lid tight on mold. Steam in boiling | one time, in some places, the lumber, water for 40 minutes. Unmold and pour,which is light, soft and brittle, was used for building purposes and for in- terior finish. It is rarely used when a stalks into even lengths of about 3in.ore durable wood can be procured. The white spruce is planted as an ornamental tree, and as such is a great success. It has the very nice tree habit “WHITE SPRUCE: of dropping its cones as soon as they open, which leaves the tree very trim and clean looking. On rocky slopes. banks and rivers from Maine to Minnesota, the white spruce is happiest. The leaves spread on the upper side of the twig, are bluish, and very sharp when young. The male and female flowers are on the same tree. They are pale red, cone- shaped, and soon turn yellow. The fruit is oblong, the scales are shiny and blunt. As soon as the seeds ripen | the cones fall to the ground. ‘The tree grows to be from 60 to 150 feet high, with sturdy branches and smooth twigs. The pale bark artl pea- green foliage gave to the spruce its name. (Copyright, 1932.) WINTER Stars. HERE is nothing so friendly on lonely walks or sleepless nights as a speaking acquaintance with the stars, and in Winter, it scems to me, the conventional designs that make up the constellations are much clearer and larger and, in general, easy to distinguish. The Summer constellations are small, vague, and distorted or overlapping. But who can mistake Orion, that great huntsman, with the three glittering stars of his belt, his bent knee, glitter- ing with the white jewel of Rigel, while on his brow burns the ruby of Betel- geuse, and the tip of his arrow sparkles with the steely glint of Bellatrix? Half way between the tip of his ar- row and the Pleiades, the cluster of seven (six only visible) faint stars, glitters Aldebaran, Al Debahran of the Arabian shepherd-astronomers, mean- ing “The Hindermost.” This is one of our near neighbors in space. It is only 57 light years away. That is to say that if you traveled at the speed of light (11,000,000 miles a minute, or 6,000,000 of million miles a year) you would get there after starting as a newborn babe, if you traveled at that speed, on your fifty-seventh birthday. You would have passed our Sum, by the , in the first eight mcngu of your life. Aldebaran is 90 times as bright 1as our sun. It is the brightest star in the constellation of the Bull of Taurus, and for this reason astronomers call it Alpha Taurus. There is to me some- thing very rich in associations which I could not, perhaps, define preciscly, in this famous old Arabian star. In the latitude of Arabia, it must be well to- ward the zenith on Winter nights; here it is far from being that. Our zenith star in this month is Ca- pella, the “She Goat” leading the Haedi or Three Kids. To find Capella look up toward the zenith from Aldebaran; it is the first_ brilliant star. Or more accurately, take Bellatrix, the tip_ of Orlon’s errow or spear, and run a line to the Pole Star. Capella is half way between them, and close to the zenith at about 9 or 10 o'clock just now. It is often called the Vega of Winter nights, but I must admit it has not the beauty of Vega, that jewel upon the cheek of night. El'he charm of Capella is much en- hanced by the long, narrow triangle just o to the right, formed by the Haedi or Kids. Capella is supposed to be their mother, sedately guiding their gambolings. Thus did the ancients think; they made up their homely, cozy scenes and stories about the stars, which seemed to them like little lamps upon the close dome of night. ‘With the coming of the telescope, the coziness and homeliness has gone out of the sky. Capella turns out to be a sun 185 times as fierce and terrible as ours, which goes hurtling and roading and singeing through bitter space at & reckless and awesome speed. The light that we see from it left Capella 52 years ago, traveling 11,000,000 miles & minute. Grapefruit Pimento Jelly. Two tablespoonfuls gelatin, half cup- ful cold water, two cupfuls boiling water, {wo pimentos, half cupful sugar (optional), one can grapefruit with juice, and half teaspoonful salt. Soak the gelatin in cold water a few minutes. Add the bolling water; stir until dis- solved. Add the sugar and salt and stir well. Add the grapefruit juice. Cut the pimento into thin strips and arrange like a poinsettia, and surround with sections of grapefruit in the bot- tom of a mold. Pour in enough of the gelatin mixture to cover. Set on ice to harden quickly. Add another layer of fruit and pimento and the rest of the gelatin. If a high mold is used, arrange in three layers instead of two, as di- rected. Chill until set, and when ready to serve turn out on a low salad dish or plate. Garnish with lettuce or romaine and with mayonnaise. One- fourth cupful of tarragon vinegar may be added for salad to serve with meat. R New Zealand Has Dairy Boom. Farmers of New Zealand are expect- ing their dairy production this season to be $25,000,000 above that of last year. An early and favorable Spting, which has just started, has assured this. In the coast lands in the district of Mana- watu, which supgues the finest herds, the conditions have been unusually good. Heavy lambing percentage and a big wool clip also are expected. e e r———_ If you can’t shop in person, you can read the ads and Shop By .Telep"lone DECIE BER 20, 1932. Everyday Psychology Knowledge and Intelligence. A great many people confuse knowl- edge with intelligence, both in the use and the meaning of these terms. There considerztion. Knowledge is something you acquire. There are as many sorts of knowledge as there are things to learn. In other words, knowledge is the thing you require before you use your intelligence. Intelligence is of two kinds—native and acquired. When a psychologist uses the term intelligence he usually has in mind that inherited ability which amounts to a_power to use knowledge. Acquired intelligence is the kind you have in mind when you say, “Knowledge is power,” For practical purposes one need not distinguish between knowledge and acquired intelligence. One might make the distinction be- tween knowledge and intelligence in another way. Knowledge is the raw material of mental life. Intelligence is the machinery that puts this raw ma- terial to work. The really intelligent person is the one who knows the uses of knowledge. In still other words, knowledge is the stuff out of which cchievement is made. while intelligence isb!]hc ability to make achievement pos- sible. Plum Pudding Ice Cream. One quart chocolate ice cream, one- | half cupful blanched almonds, one- half cupful seedless raisins and one- | quarter cupful candied cherries. Shred almonds and cut cherries in sixths, cut raisins in halves and beat into chocolate ice cream. Put in mold, cover and pack in salt and ice. or put in tray of auto- | matic refrigerator for an hour or more to harden. Turn out of mold and serve with Christmas sauce or with whipped cream. is a distinction, however, that is worth | WOMEN'S FEATURES. Stingy With Details, O one expects clairvoyance in | the serious matter of advising | about dlets, yet I have no | other recourse if I am to answer many of the letters which offer me nothing upon which to | base an opinion. I grow very monot- | onous, I am sure, reminding mothers that I want to know every item of a baby's diet. I like to decide for myself whether or not baby is well fed, and intelligent advice simply cannot be | | given without such information. ! Mrs. F. P. C. errs greatly in that per- ticular. Here is her letter: “My baby | is 14 months old: weighed 8 pounds at | birth and 20 pounds now. He weighed 16 at six months and I can't under- | stand why he hasn't gained as he should since. How much should he weigh? | He gets three meals a day, at 8 am., | 12 noon and 6‘p.m. He does not drin| | his milk very well, but he eats his cereal and cther foods well. He has four teeth and is cutting more. Would teeth- ing caure his gain to be so poor? I am| | giving him the proper food. What | | would you advice?” | ‘The baby’s gain since his sixth month | has been 4 pounds instead of the ex- pected gain of 8 pounds. You can't blame the coming of teeth for such a deficiency. All children get teeth, and | therefore all of them would suffer from loss of weight or failure to gain, which conclusion is absurd. We can't blame | lfieth for that; we have to blame the et. ‘While you say he eats his cereal “and other foods,” you do not tell me of what those other foods consist.
