Proprieties ‘When One Isj Entertained BY EMILY POST. “J)EAR MRS. POST: What would you think of the idea of my wear- ing a black tie with an all-white palm beach suit, to make it formal for Sum- mer evening parties, at which white clothes are admitted? This question came up while I was away on my va- cation.” ! Answer—I don’t know any reason why you should not wear a black tie with an all-white suit if you choose to. But this would not make it formal, even in the most lenient sense of the word. An all-white suit is merely an | “extra” hot-weather suit, which ‘youneer men, especially, wear to all sorts of parties, particularly at simpler vacation resorts and in the country. “Dear Mrs. Post: I have become a | very personal friend of both my em- | ployer and his wife and their young son, perhaps because we are all in the early 30s. Practically every week end | I stay with them in the country. Now Mrs. Employer is going away for a month or more, taking their young son with her, and in their place Mr. Employer’s aunt, who is at least 50, is to look after him. Would I be criti- cized if I continued to go home with him every week end, as I always have, | while Mrs. Employer is away?" Answer—If Mrs. Employer has sug- gested that you go to stay with her husband and his aunt, and he invites you, I don’t see how it could cause any criticism, should you go once—or at | the most twice. But if she has not | | said anything to you gbout hoping | | that you will go out for week ends as | any pleasure out of it.

Tell him, if he invites you as | | usual, that when Mrs. Employer told | |you she was going to be away, you word; idealism just another sound. Life in full tide, as it tore along, was to be served for salvage useful and pleasant. ©Of course it could not last because there was no truth in it. Nobody can live for himself alone and get Life is shared experience, and whatever is shared | must be treated in relation to other people. And right there duty, stern | daughter of the gods, shows her face. One must consider others. One must behave with relation to others. One must live with and for others or he dies. Duty is a stern disciplinarian. She teaches the child to obey. That is her first law: Obedience to authority, obedience to love, to righteousness. She demands self-control. She in- sists upon unselfishness. She com- mands strength, endurance, silence, under stress. She decrees that the human body so order itself that it | becomes the temple of a flaming spirit. There is no escaping duty. No de- sire, no evasion, no law can supplant her in the lives of men. Only under her direction can we hope to live at peace with ourselves and our world. She leads the way to all that life offers in the form of beauty, content and real success. We go her way or | we go nowhere. Children must learn this. Early they must be taught that obedience is their duty. Industry, self-help, con- | sideration of others, unselfish service in all directions where service is re- | quired, alone can give them what they ask of life—happiness. It does not hurt a child to be on time, to be| | clean and shining, to do an errand | for his mother instead of reading his | story book, to rise and give some one | else his chair, to smile cheerfully when | he is asked to change his plans for | another’s sake, to adjust himself to the family instead of having the family continually adjust itself to him. It won't hurt him to keep think- | ing away from himself and toward others as he goes about his work | and play. It will help him tre- mendously to expand and understand. Don't be afraid of duty. Stern- faced she may be, but her service is rewarded as none other can be with complete satisfaction to the human soul. Know Limit Of Activity BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

THE MOTHER OF THE CHILDREN. Answer—A father’s first duty to his children is, of course, to provide them with the necessities of life—food and sheiter and clothes. It is his duty not only to give his children a home, but, in so far as it is possible for him to do so. to make it a happy home in which there is peace and cheer and affection. It is a father's duty to co-operate with his wife in rearing the children. A great many men turn this job en- tirely over to their wives. They let their wives form their children’s habits and manners and morals, de- cide on their schools and every detail of their lives.

Nor Cherry Pie Depends on Good Crust Trick in Turning Out Perfect One Must Be Found by Cook. " BY EDITH M. BARBER. 'VEN today, when we are served with | | a really good cherry pie, it is| | usually at the end of a satisfying | meal where everything else is well cooked. First of all, the pastry must be rich and flaky. There are just one | or two tricks to pastry making. The | proportion of fat to flour must bei right. In general, one-third as much | lard or hardened vegetable fat as| flour. Usually it is best to cut the fat into the flour with a knife. | Now you are ready to add the water | which should be very cold. Make a hole in the mixture at one side and stir in a tablespoonful of water until | you have a stiff ball of dough at that !polnt. Then begin to add water at another point. When you have three | balls of dough take your hands and put them together with the extra flour left in the bowl. When the dough is smooth put it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to chill and then it will be easy to roll. | Divide the dough into two parts and | you are ready to make your pie and | roll lightly into & round a little larger | than your pan. Line the pan with | one sheet, pressing it into the pan and | cover the bottom with flour and sugar | mixed together, one tablespoonful of each. Cover with a layer of cherries, sprinkle liberally with sugar and con- tinue until your fruit is piled a little | higher than the depth of the pan. | Cover with the other layer of pastry and press the edges together., Cut the overlapping pastry evenly. With a fork press the two layers around the edge of the pan or bind the dampened edge with a thin strip of pastry. You may now get rolls of parchment paper which are designed especially for this purpose. Cut slits in the top of the pie to let out the steam which forms as the fruit cooks. Use a very hot oven, 450 degrees F., for the first 15 minutes of baking and then lower to | 350 degrees for about 30 minutes | longer. You may use this same method for all fruit ples which should be sirupy, not starchy, as is sometimes the case when too much flour is put with the fruit. In all of these cherry recipes we make use of the sour cherries. The large, sweet cherries are often put into tart shells over which a cherry glaze may be poured. CHERRY DUMPLINGS. 2 pounds cherries. 23 cup water. 1 cup granulated sugar. £ 1 cup unseasoned mashed pot: 1 cup flour. 1 teaspoon salt. « cup melted shortening. 1 egg slightly beaten. Wash and stem the cherries, place in a covered kettle with the water and simmer covered 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to prevent sticking and to bring the pits to the top. Skim out | the pits and stir in the sugar. Mean- while combine the mashed potatoes, flour, salt and melted shortening. Drop from a teaspoon on top of the hot cherry mixture for 15 minutes. | Sserve dumplings with the hot sauce. | PASTRY. 115 cups flour. 15 teaspoon salt. | % cup fat. Cold water. | Sift together the flour and salt. | Cut in the fat with two case knives. For a large quantity, a wooden bowl and chopping knife may be used. When fine, add at one side of the bowl one tablespoon of cold water and stir | in as much of the flour and fat as the water will take up. Continue this un- til you have four or five balls of dough and some dry flour left in the bowl. Press together with vour fingers. If all the dry flour is not taken up, add a little more water. Chill and roll. CHERRY PIE. 8 cups cherries. 1% cups sugar. 2 tablespoons flour. Stone cherries, mix with the sugar and flour and bake between crusts or | atoes.

The baby is al- ways delighted to show that he or she understands this distinction and will live up to it. That, of course, | when enough materials for play are | substituted for those which appeal to | him among the family's possessions. | The malicious destruction of which | some children are capable may be of | less thoughtless type. Children will | make mistakes, will choose some val- uable object upon which they try their | scissors or hammer or saw. But one such mistake does not need punish- ment—merely correction. The child can and will see, and its mistake will not be repeated if the wise mother realizes that the child is smart enough to know when it has made a mistake. Punishment may turn that feeling of desire to atone into a feeling that the next step is to hurt the mother in some way. His way of hurting the mother may be to destroy more of her valuables. The child who has been told, and shown, the things upon which it can vent its desire for activity, and who then deliberately destroys the posses- sions of another—for the pure joy of 50 going—needs to have his feelings understood. This child is turning upon inanimate things the rancor he feels toward some individual or individuals. There is a breach of confidence be- tween the child and his parents or his world, which can only be satisfied by “taking it out,” or something. If de- stroying the home valuables appeased that ache, then certainly the situation in the home needs some readjustment. Just to punish the child for being de- structive is of little help in curing this Innhm of which destruction is I would observe whether she was clean and neat or not; whether her shoes were polished, her stockings on straight, her neckwear immaculate, her hair well combed, for thereby I should know whether her house, when she married, would be tidy and order- | ly, or a place of confusion with une swept floors and unmade beds, with | everything at sixes and sevens. * ok X X I SHOULD notice whether she was appropriately dressed or not. If she always had on the right thing— | plain, dark clothes for street and business wear, pretty chiffons for evening, I would know that she would make the kind of wife on whose good sense and taste her husband could rely. I should know that she would do and say the right thing at the right time and that she would push his fortunes. But if a girl came down to work looking as if she was going out to a cocktail party; if she wore a lace gown and a picture hat to market and barged in on & formal party in a sweater or shorts, I would know she lacked judgment and that she would waste my money and tell business secrets, and that I would always be getting her out of messes. 1 would notice whether a girl wore the colors that flattered her, the lines that brought out her good points and camoufiaged the bad ones, whether she combed her hair the right way or I would notice under them and that would give me a mighty good line on how mu telligence and initiative she had, | with each other. e A FATHER owes it to his children to give himself to them. Just giving them the things that money buys isn't enough. They need father himself. Plenty of hoys and girls never think of their father as any- thing but a cash register that mother manipulates for their benefit. They never think of him as a human being who has been all along the road they are going and whose experience would be & lot more valuable to them than anything he can give them while he lives or leave them when he dies. Fathers owe it to their children to get acquainted with them. Half the fathers and children in the world haven't even a speaking acquaintance They can't carry on a conversation when they are left alone together. The children have no idea what father thinks and father hasn't an idea what the children think | or are doing. Many a boy could have been kept out of the scrape that wrecks his life | it only he had known father well enough to tell him his difficulties and get some sound advice. Many a girl would be kept from marrying a rotter if she could only talk over the young men who come to see her with father and get him to size them up for her. It is every father’s duty to help his children make & success of their lives, and he defaults on his obligation when he passes the buck to their mother and lets her form their char- acters and decide their way of life.

This dress is a grand one for this time of year. It is new, and chic, and if you are a forward-looking person, you'll know that it will do very well under a coat a little later.

Answer—The average weight for your age and height is 138 pounds, but, since you appear to be of the naturally thin type, I should say that 128 would be enough. Thin women show their age in their faces sooner than fairly plump ones do. You might try a center-part coiffure with a narrow coronet braid our hair may come down in waves about brow and temples and be fairly fluffy at the sides.
