That is a topic of general in terest, for there are fashions in table setting just as in so many other things. A few years ago, we all displayed as much family silver as we had; now we prefer a more modest outlay. If one is serving many courses it Is considered better form to bring on the silver for the later courses with the courses them selves. The accompanying cut shows one cover set for a simple meal. All the silver is placed in a straight line about one-half inch from the edge of the table. If the table is round the silver should be placed in a curved fashion to correspond to the curving outline of the table. Plenty of space should be allowed for each 'cover; from 24 to 30 inches is sug gested by one authority. There are times when all of us must compress this space, because unfortunately, tables are not elastic beyond a cer- iain point, and numbers j of guests re. The plate is set in the center; to the left, all forks with the possible exception of the oyster fork, and the napkin; to the right, the knives and spoons, with the exception of the butter spreader. The oyster fork may be at the outside with the spoons. All silver is placed in the order of its usage, the first to be used at the outside. An exception Snay be made for the sake of ap pearance, that is, the larger pieces of silver are placed closer to the plates, the rest tapering down to ward the outside. (This discussion seems to be largely exceptions!) The knife is always placed with the sharp edge toward the plate. Just above the knife the water glass is placed; above the fork, the bread and butter plate with the butter spreader across it, or on the cloth just to the right and above the plate. If the napkin is' square it is placed "My Heart and My Husband" ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "REVELATIONS OF A WIFE" Betty's Message for Lillian What It Told Madge. Lillian swallowed her hot tea obediently, and I followed her ex ample. There was nothing else to do. The big, sombre, orange-tinged eyes of the old colored woman were inexorably upon us. Lillian evident ly knew that Betty would, keep her word and her counsel until we had satisfied her that we had been duly refreshed by the hot tea. "Nowl" Lillian set down the Fragile tea cup she had just drained. "That's my third cup, you old tyrant. Now tell me your news." "Dat cup don't hold no moan dan a good thimbleful," Betty grumbled, "so yoh hain't got nuffin to brag c i-i(tiiiftiiitiitiTiitf)i:itiiiuitTtii!iii!U;Himittitiiiriii!iiiiii(tstiitttiitiiii:i;iiititii)iiiiiiitiMiitt(i An F&M in the EASTER PARADE Featuring the Step - a - head pattern in light . gray, field mouse, wh i te and black.

If the napkin' is of the luncheon variety and folded triangularly it may be placed with the open corner to the left or right. If to the right, it'fol lows the general rule for placing napkins, but if to the left, with the fold at right angles to the table edge, a much more balanced look is imparted to the cover. Individual salt and pepper shakers are placed close in to the plate; the more people there are to share a pair of salt and pepper shakers, the farther toward the center the pair is placed. I suppose the reason is to attract the attention of diners more easily. Dishes of nuts, bonbons, etc., may be placed on the table be fore the guests are seated, or with any special course, They are lo cated somewhat toward the center of the table, but not too far from the reach of the people seated. Dishes from which food is served platter, vegetable dish, salad bowl, etc. are placed near the person who serves. It is good form at an informal dinner to place the dish containing a second vegetable in front of a guest at the right or left of the server and press the guest into service. This expedient is re sorted to if the space in front of the server is too crowded to make room for everything. It may be added that to save room at a very crowded table the napkin may be placed between the fork and knife, providing the first course is served after the guests are seated. Another expedient is to place the spoons above the plate parallel with the table edge. Neither device is considered very good form. about. But I reckon I'll have to tell yoh. It hain't much, jest dat woman from up in de mountains, she's been tryin' to git yoh on de telephone all die afternoon an' she said would yoh please to call her up when yoh got in." "The Moment I Know." Lillian sprang to her feet, her face white with anger and dismay. "Mrs. Cdsgrovel" she exclaimed. "And I sitting here drinking teal I shall not forgive you for this, Betty." The last words were thrown over her shoulder as she rushed to the telephone. Betty looked after her grimly. "Don't make no diffrunce toh me 'bout dat forgiveness," she muttered. "I got dat hot tea down her 'fore she had a chancet to heah any bad news." "Do you think it's had news, Betty?" I murmured the question breathlessly, while all the time my brain was busy with conjectures concerning the possible meaning of this summons from the sister of Robert Savarin. "Don't know," the old woman re plied laconically. "Ah don't ask no questions what ain't mah business. But, evidently yielding to the de sire to make a confidant of some body, "dat sister of Mistah Sabar- in's, she couldn't keep de cryin' out of her voice nohow when she was talkin' to me. Dere's a screw loose somewhere, yoh marks mah word, honey." I shared her uneasiness as l wait ed for Lillian to come back from the telephone. She had a good deal of trouble in getting her connec tion, and when she had finally se- ured it. seemed to have difficulty n understanding the person at the other end. She spoke but once or twice her self. "No. I have heard nothing. either," she said once, and just be fore she hung up the receiver, gave a fervent assurance to the woman at the other end of the wire. "Indeed, the moment I know I will get you on the 'phone." She came back into the library slowly, listlessly, but the look of an guished terror which had been in her eyes when she rushed to the telephone had vanished. Evidently Mrs. Cosgrove's message had not added to whatever burden she was already carrying. . j wornea ana weaic. I rose to receive her as she cam6 in, and drew a chair for her before the fire. She looked around, as if in ouest of Bettv. but that discreet handmaiden had vanished, knowing that if she postponed the hour of wrath it would in all probability never strike with her indulgent mis tress. I did not speak, for I knew that when my friend had recovered her poise she would unburden her heart to me. "Madore. Lillian s voice sounded tar away, and as I looked at her her face seem to turn asnes oeiore my eyes. But as I sprang in af fright toward her she put up her hand and smiled faintly. "It's nothing, dear. Just get me a glass of water, wi,ll you, please?" When I rushed back with the water she slipped a small tablet from a tiny vial which she took from a hidden pocket in her gown, swallowed it, and drank a little of the water. Then she laid her head aeainst the back of the chair, and I, wondering, frightened, clasped her wrist and waited until a faint color began to creep into her cheeks. Then I found-my voice in passionate protest. "Look here 1" i said almost rough ly. "Why have you never told me about this? I know what those things are. My little mother had to take them for years, but her heart was dangerously affected. Are you i -u t :n: t v nave you uu, luucui i I choked, stopped, unable to go on. Lillian put out her hand, pulled me down beside her. "Foolish puss," she said, gently. "I A Behind-the- Scene Orpheum Star Whose Name Never Has Appeared on the Bills 1 " x ' Foster Ball, jr., is the name of one Orpheum star whose name never appears on the billboards. He is the 3-year-old son of Foster Ball, who recently appeared at the Or pheum in a character sketch of a civil war veteran. Foster, jr., is the headliner back stage. Before and after the actors on the bill do their turns they play horse with Foster and ride him on their shoulders.

Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, presi dent of the general federation, tele graphed that the federation would be glad to co-operate through the civics department of which Mrs. Bes sie Leach Priddy is chairman. Mrs. Priddy, on the initiative of the club women, had sent out a circular letter advocating this line of activity be fore receiving notice of the govern ment campaign. From the various presidents of stat e federations assurances of hearty support have been sent to the division of public works and construction development, informa tion and education, and education service of the department.

Her lips twisted into a whimsical grimace, and she began without fur ther ado to explain her telephone conversation. "It was ridiculous for me to be so upset by Mrs. Cosgrove's 'phoning," she began. "But when I went to that telephone I was obsessed by the fear that she had received word of Robert's death she is his 'next of kin,' you know. "But haven't you heard from him regularly?" I asked. "I haven't heard a word from him in months," she said. "Not since he went on into Germany, I suppose in search of Harry." T OLDS Head or chest are best treated "externally" with VICKS VAPOR!

The South Carolina federa tion, through the president, Mrs. Le roy Springs, announced its enlist ment in the movement. The New York City Federation of Women's Clubs has taken part in the campaign and will co-operate in ev ery way possible.

But the drain on your purse, the strain on your nerves and the pain in your back are not the plumber's fault. You'll always have to face such things as long as you keep those out-of-date, constantly out-of-order, hard-to-clean, unsanitary fixtures in your home. What's more they're an ever present menace to the health of your entire household. The next time you have to call in a plumber ask him to tell you about Thomas Maddock's modem, sanitary, first-cost-last-cost plumbing fixtures.

The claim that women must be paid the same as men for the same or equivalent work, and that there must be no discrimination as to opportunity for advancement, will be dealt with, and a rerating of women workers will be effected in accordance with the skill required for their jobs and with the - wage scale for men on jobs of a corre sponding nature. The National .Woman's Trades Union league and the National Federation of Federal Employes and other woman's labor organiza tions interested in establishing and maintaining the standards of wages, hours, and working conditions for women which have been set forth by the Woman in Industry Service, United States Department of La bor, have planned to call the atten tion of the commission to certain classes of government work done ex clusively by women for which, the wage scale, it is claimed by them, is entirely inadequate.

Coming Events Cast Thar Stedovvs Prepare Now to Withstand lb Crisis, Do not anticipate with a shuddering dread tha beautiful event of childbirth. You can avoid discomfort during the period and strain at the crisis by preparing your system and putting yourself in splendid condition to meet the time. For just this purpose women all over the land, in every walk of life, have used for over half a century the time-honored and famous remedy, Mother's Friend. It is prepared to give the mother-to-be that direct help she needs. The muscles, nerves, tendons and cords are made and kept soft and elastic. Thus strain is avoided, and as a result nervousness, nausea, bearing-down and stretching pains are avoided. The abdominal muscles expand easily and gently when baby is born. Naturally, pain is less and the hours are fewer. The sys tem is prepared and the crisis is one of much less danger. Write the Bradfield Regulator Company, Dept. M, Lamar Building.

In England there is a movement to re organize domestic service so that there will be established scales of wages, hours of work, and stand ards of efficiency. This movement is to be taken up in the United States according to reports received by the United States Department of Labor. In London it has been found that munitions workers are not satisfied to return to their old places as cooks or housemaids since they have discovered that in factories they have exact hours and definite duties. After earning good wages they will not accept the smaller pay offered to those who belong to the living-in class of employes. At a recent conference of the Wo man's Legion Lady Londonderry, who presided, explained that in va rious counties plans, were made to organize thoroughly and to affiliate with other bodies. "There will be no uniforms for the women actual ly in the service," she is quoted as saying, "but they will wear their legion badge and their long-service stripes." The Woman's Legion hopes to provide instruction in nursing, do mestic economy and child welfare. This is a step toward the final plac ing of household service on a plane where skilled workers will enjoy lib erty and receive adequate compensa tion.
