THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 1921.
The Paying
Guest
By Lorctto C Lynch.
' A motherly woman, whose thrifty
family had married off, found herself
with a 12-room house on her hands.
It was located an hour's journey
from the city. She had a little in
come and there was no debt on the
home. Yet she did not feel quite
equal to keeping borders. Finally
she hit upon a novel plan.
It was a woman buyer for a large
department store that first told me
about Mrs. Holmes' Retreat. "I
just run out there week-ends, and
it does me more good than any plan
Of rest I have tried. Really, I'd pay
her twice the price if she asked it,"
. Seems that when a tired business
person left the office on Saturday
afternoon, he or she went directly
by train to Mrs. Holmes', retreat
Upon arrival Mrs. Holmes had
awaiting you your favorite lounging
robe at welt as your house slippers.
And while you wert getting out of
your street clothes the hostess was
filling the bathtub with water of the
temperature you liked and laying
out your tolet articles. Your bath
over, you were ready to sink into a
big chair by the 'large window of
the bedroom. But while you were,
bathing Mrs. Holmes was making
ready your luncheon tray. And such
dainty food 1 You ate in your room.
Then yon either rested in bed or
engaged in reading or, in fact, did
almost anythng you liked until
dinner time.
If you desired, you came to the
dining room. a If you did not care
it dress, again you had your meal
in th room.
. By Sunday morning you were be
gittnms; to like the place so well that
you corf of wished it was only Sat
urday night again. For Mrs. Holmes
Mt only brought your, favorite Stin
oay paper to you, but she brought
yo the choicest breakfast on a
snowy white tray. ,
. ' The breakfast tray was on of the
famous things about Mrs. Holmes'
place. One frosty morning toward
the fall of the year . she served a
breakfast of baked apple with real
cream, broiled ham . with a fresh
egg, waffles with maple syrup, toast
and the best coffee you ever drank
in your life. To add beauty to the
breakfast tray, there was a single
purple aster from the garden and
sometimes a tiny branch of colorful
goldenrod.
Great care was taken to make
each article served highly attractive.
For Mrs. Holmes realized, as too
many country boarding housekeep
ers tail to realize, that she was ca
tering to people who were not starv
ing and therefore ought, to be glad
to get "anything." She knew her
guests were used to the best, but they
were tired folks, overworked and
that their appetites needed coaxing.
Dinner was served at 2:30 o'clock.
By 5 the guests were ready for the
train home if they did wot stay over
until Monday morning. i
Manners Reflect
Changing
Times
f . , . , .
; Sometimes, as was the case in
the court of Louis XIV of France,
etiquette runs-away with itself and
becomes ridiculous. In that court
it was a breach of etiquette if any
one but a certain nobleman handed
the king his royal undershirt when
he awoke in the morning Another
nobleman held his wash basin and
another held the taper to his prayer
book when he went through his
kingly devotions.
If we look far enough back' in
history we could find that even these
absurd regulations had their, basis
in a matter of convenience Eti
quette is the lubricating oil that
makes the wheels of society run
smoothly and when royal etiquette
stipulates that a dozen or so gray
beards, including the prime minister;
should be present at the birth iof a
king's son, you may be sure 'that
that rule originated so that later no
one might suggest that the heir to
the throne was a changeling or an
imposter. And the custom or eti
quette goes on after most folk have
forgotten the "why or wherefore" of
it.
. In present day American etiquette
a constant weeding out process is
taking place. Almost - as soon as
the need for a certain piece of. eti
quette passes out the etiquette be
comes old fashioned too. Practi
cally every regulation of our eti
quette can be traced to convenience
or consideration. Take, for instance,
the matter of table etiquette. The
whole idea of our so called table
manners is to make meal time a
period of pleasant intercourse and
not a mere feeding process , ,
If we alt ate in private we might
have the manners of pigs and give
no one offense. - But since we
usually eat with our " friends or
families we must be very careiui.
We must go about it noiselessly,
and hence we have a certain list of
rules for the management of the
spoon and fork and knife, and be-
; cause we would give offence to
others if we spilled our food and
were untidy about it we have an
other set of rules for the manage
ment of the napkin, our position at
the table and our mode of masticat
ing. In determining how to eat the
various kinds of food the idea seems
to be to find a way by which the
process can be made least offen
sive. . ' ,
" There is no special etiquette for
our way of bathing, though nhere
was for poor little Queen Marie
Antoinette, who always bathed with
a group of ladies in waiting looking
on because we bathe in private.
We can hold the soap as we please
and splash as loudly as we want
- without running the risk of being
illbred. AH society asks us is that
we shall be well tubbed and we can
, suit ourselves as to the method, of
securing that result If we were
hermits or Robinson Crusos we
should have few pages to our books
of etiquette. - "
: So the closer we live together, the
more careful we should be of our
manners. And for this reason the
It- folk who dwell close together
have to think more of etiquette
than country folk. Complicated
machinery always needs more lubri
cating oil than machinery of few
parts and so folk who live in close
contact with one anotha- eed b
rules of etiquette.

(Are Pepper 'and
Salt Boxes
Needed ?
Are the salt and pepper boxes
necessary adjuncts of the ceremoni
ous dinner, or of any dinner that has
been carefully prepared? This is a
question that not infrequently per
plexes the hostess who prides her
self on the perfect equipment of her
dinner table and the correctness of
her entertaining.
The argument against placing these
accessories on the dinner table is that
such seasoning is unnecessary with a
well cooked dinner and that they tend
to "clutter up" the dinner table. Some
persons place salt and pepper boxes
only at intervals, making it necessary,
for two or three persons to share the
same supply. This is well and good
for an informal meal, but at a formal
dinner it would be most inconvenient
Really, why should we have to have
salt and pepper when all the food has
been prepared in the kitchen? For
breakfast it is different then we need
salt for eggs broken at the table, and
we may use it on apples or bananas
or other fruit. The argument is
sometimes made that some persons
like more salt and pepper than others,
hmre it i npressarv to have these
flavoring accessories on the table. But
then some persons like more sugar
than others and some persons like

Keep two hens for each member

and is just as satisfactory if fertile
eggs are purchased and set.

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad for Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is MulsMed
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
alt to pieces. Tou can get.Mulslfled
at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
ful is all that is required. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
dle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff. Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsifled.

Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce
Fat women must take this injunctio
to heart if they want to be in style, for
the new summer modes will not drape over
a fat figure.
The fat has got to come off quickly,
but without harm, of course, and this
means only one thing can be depended
upon. Exercising or dieting are too slow
and weakening, especially during hot
weather. The fat woman who wants
to wear a form-clinging gown must make
an immediate trip to her druggist and
get a box of Marmola Prescription Tab
lets, which will cost her about one dollar.
Taking one of these after each meal
and at bedtime should be enough to bring
her to the stage where she is losing two,
three or four pounds a week before even
the first box is, used up. It is hardly
believab that such delightful results
can be cblained without harm and for
such a small sum of money, but then,
fact is stranger than fiction.
Test the effect of these tablets by
getting a case yourself, either from the
Marmola Co., 4612 Woodward avenue, De
troit, Mich, or from any druggist. They are
made in exact accordance with the famous
Marmola Prescription, and consequently
cannot have any ill effect even on the
hottest summer days.

more olive oil on their salad than
others, and yet we have broken our
selves of having sugar passed with
our pie and our pudding, and salad
is usually dressed before it is served
nowadays.
However, it is quite likely that
most of us shall continue to have salt
and pepper served on our dinner
tables as well as our breakfast tables.
How then should they be served?
It is usual in England probably
because of the prevailing dampness
there to serve salt in an open cellar.
The use of salt shakers is regarded as
a gross Americanism by many per
sons. The shaker has numerous ad
vantages, however. It is dustproof,
while the open shaker, if left on the
table or sideboard for even an hour
or so, must collect dust. Moreover,
with the salt shaker there is no need
for a salt spoon. On the other hand,
in some sections of our own land
there. are damp seasons when a salt
shaker, no matter how frequently
cleaned and refilled, is bound to clog.
There is nothing so irritating as a
salt shaker that won't shake. One
is tempted to resort to violence and
bang the offending container on the
table even though we know that is
a transgression of the law of table
deportment that bides us dine noise
lessly. It is because of the annoyance of
the clogged salt shaker that most
persons now use the open salt dishes.
By many persons this type of con
tainer (is regarded as "correct," If
you have no silver spoons and do
not wish to buy them, very small
glass ladles made especially for that
purpose may be bought for a small
sum. Needless to say, the cellar
should be filled fresh before every
meat. ,
The salt should not be sprinkled
over the food. It should be taken
in sufficient quantity to last for the
entire meal, and placed at the side
of the plate. If it is desired for cel
ery it may be placed at the side of
the plate. It must never be shaken
on the cloth for that purpose. Some
persons first open their potatoes and
wash them and their other vegetables
conveniently on their plates and then
shake around the salt and pepper.
This, of course, is childish and posi
tively incorrect.
If there is no salt spoon never use
the fingers nor a knife or spoon that
has been used. Use a fresh knife
or spoon.
