Our dress, our speech, our hab its of living—even the way we set our tables, all disclose to our friends just what sort of persons we are. Let’s concentrate on table setting. There’s a right way to do it and fail ure to follow the rules immediately i stamps the offender as careless or ignorant or both^ The knife always is placed on the right of the service. Forks are placed on the right only when a knife is not needed and the service is very in formal, otherwise forks always go on the left. The sharp edge ofHhe knife should always be turned in toward the plate. A very little thing to stress but l^ery important. As to the order of arrangement: One way to put it is to say that we * BENJAMIN & SONS PLUMBING HEATING SERVICE Telephone 117 WE ARE HUNTING TROUBLE ■WMMMMIOHHOHClOftXXICKKieiCMKIC Ukk'i/and (i/motiou ’ pi Don Robinson RADIO—Letdown ual family needs.

If the hostess follows this rule and the guest follows it too, no matter hdw elaborate the array may be, you won’t find yourself left with an oyster fork for your pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner.* ^ Silver should be placed with ex actness and precision, each piece straight and evenly spaced.

When napkins are placed on the table they can be made into a flat roll with op posite corners turned under, folded into an oblong, folded to make a tri angle, or after making the triangle the two sides may be turned under. If the first course is to be on the service plates when the meal is an nounced, place the napkin to the left of the forks. Otherwise place the napkin on the service plate. If the napkin is square or oblong, place it so that the lower right hand corner is the open corner. Table decorations are something else again.

NEWS—Entertainment Radio, as a medium for supplying* the people with news, came into its own during wartime. All of us want ed to get reports of the progress of the war in the quickest possible time —and we found that radio had a slight jump on newspapers. But now that we are less concerned with getting news the moment it happens, we wonder if news report ing won't gradually become a very minor function of radio. Some of the commentators who have a large fol lowing will survive, because we have learned to respect and look forward to their opinions, but for straight news it would seem to me that the tendency already is to concentrate on the newspaper where we can read the news we want, skip that which doesn’t interest us, and avoid being subjected to a barrage of artificial excitement. Many of the radio news programs should perhaps be considered war equipment which now falls into the classification of “surplus property.” If the voices which were trained for war work are permitted to continue without revision, and if they folinw their technique of stirring up the populace, they are apt to add fuel to the fires which our nation is trying to extinguish. I think radio would do well to ad mit the war is over and keep us tuned in, from now on, by concentrating on the production of better entertain ment.
