Modern Term Springs From Old Symbol By EMILY POST The spokesman of a class writes: "In our 'Good manners' the other day we were discussing the subject of bread and butter letters when the question arose as to why this particular thank you note was called a bread and butter letter. Our teacher didn't know the answer and suggested that one of us write to Emily Post. Will you answer this for us?" Long ago "the breaking of bread" was the symbol of hospitality. Later on, butter was added and the term bread and butter was quite obviously applied to a letter of thanks for hospitality.

Grandparents Dear Mrs. Post: Will you kindly, tell me grandmothers what part, of the if bride and groom take at the reception, and where are they seated in the church? Answer: usually are seated next to the parents in the front pew, but if they prefer aisle seats they are then seated in the second pew. At the reception the bride's grandmother would receive her mother and the groom's grandmother with his mother. Bride's Bouquet Dear Mrs. Post: I am going to be married at the in a street-length lace rectory.

May I carry a bouquet, or since I am not wearing a long dress, would a corsage be better? Answer: Certainly you may carry a bouquet- perhaps not an over-large one!

MYERS, Ph.D. There are still a good many one-room schools throughout the United States. My first three years of teaching were in such schools. On days when the weather did not permit outdoor play it was hard during the long recess period at noon to find good means of recreation for the children. There was no place to run and no books to read for pleasure.

Rural School From a Texas teacher in a rural school that presumably has several rooms but no gymnasium, comes the following: "Dear Dr. Myers: I would appreciate your opinion on letting children read comic books at school. I'm a fourth grade teacher in a rural school. I use the comics at lunch period when children have to remain in the room on bad days. "The children have a fortyfive minute lunch period.

We eat, clean the room, then read. I select the books. I do not allow detective or murder mystery, find comics. the children look forward to this period. They pretty quiet, everyone is reading an idle child, I also save some good books for them." Cultivate Choices ty library.

Magazine Subscription Here in part was my reply: You seem to be doing well in a hard situation. How wise you are to limit the use of comic books during the lunch period to those which don't exalt violence and base ideals. As you say, you can help these children cultivate choices of only the better comic books when they buy comic books. As most of the newspaper comic strips measure up to your fine standards, you might bring to school a copy of your own newspaper or such strips from them as you deem best; also you might encourage children to bring to school some other newspapers and help cut out the best comic strips for the use of the group at noon. It's fine that you also have some good books for pleasurable reading at the noon recess on inclement You might be able to induce, your county superintendent schools or your local school board to find ways of supplying you with more of such books.

Also, you might be able to borrow some good books from your coun- As you know, there are several good magazines for children. Why not try to induce the parents of the school or your school board to provide your room with a subscription to one or several of these magazines? Some of your children might like to play non running games -Flinch, dominoes, checkers or Chinese checkers. In a little red schoolhouse where I once taught, we made our own checkerboards and used grains of corn, white ones and red ones, for checker men. And because you seem find ways of winning the esteem of your children, I hope that you find class to help them see wise ways of choosing and regulating programs at home on radio and television. You wonderful teachers just don't know what great influence you have in shaping the ideals of your children! Perfume Used For Holiday By ALICIA HART Perfume knows no season, but its excitement, mystery and warmth seem to have a special meaning at Christmastime.

Perhaps it's because busy shopping days are topped with evenings filled with parties, gaiety and enchantment. Then, again, romance has a way of stepping into the New Year's activities without a word of warning. A woman simply must be prepared. To match the magic of every moment, one of this country's leading cosmetic houses has introduced an enticing new perfume. Like finding a rose in the snow, you will be delightfully surprised to discover its fragrance suggests garden flowers.

Of course, to get the most from your perfume, whether at Christmas or any other time of the year, you should apply it effectively. A quick dab behind ears is simply not enough. Touch a bit of the fragrance to your hair, lips and wrists. Since perfume rises, the hem of your skirt or petticoat might also be scented. Perfume should be a part of vour Christmas decorations, too.

Guests will doubly enjoy their surroundings. if you spray your light bulbs. and place delicately scented sachets strategically about house. Set the scene for your holiday enjoyment with a feminine and fragranced hand.

Chemical Capsule in Soil Protects African Violets Men Need Gift-Getting Technique By RUTH MILLETT Memo to men who are tired of finding the same old "surprises" under the Christmas tree, the poor dears who know that a certain shape means more ties, another shape more socks, and that smaller box either a belt or a billfold: How about giving us women theistle this increasing year, your and chances of getting something you really want? If you've watched your wife subtly let you know exactly what she wants it should be easy. But in case you haven't realized she was using a giftgetting technique here are a few tips: Bring home some catalogues and as you thumb through them say with enthusiasm: "Hey, Betty, look at this. Isn't it a beauty? That's the kind of rod and reel (or gun, or whatever) I'm going to get some day." But here let me warn you not to get so enthusiastic you. can't wait to get it for Christmas and buy it yourself next pay day. Take an afternoon off to go Christmas shopping with your wife.

Under the pretext of looking for something for her brother, point out whatever you see that you particularly admire. If a friend has a gadget you've been coveting, drop in on him some evening and admire it. Ask him where he bought it and so forth, so your wife will have all the information she needs if she takes the tip. If all this sounds like too much trouble, then you might as well look forward to those same familiar shaped packages. But weren't warned or let in on the secret of how your wife always manages to act surprised and still get exactly what she wanted on Christmas morning.

Fortunately, most troubles be cured if caught in time.

For has been receiving requests for the best method to get rid of the most all insects that attack dreadican violets, the cyclamen mite. Carlyn K. Rector, in her splendid book "How to Grow African Violets," writes: "This insect is too small to be seen without a magnifying glass, but it can be spotted by the damage it does to the plant. The center is the first to show it. It grows puckered and fuzzy looking, and usually turns a brownish color, or a light gray.

"The stems are shorter than normal and the foliage becomes brittle. The buds drop off and any flowers surviving long enough to open are distorted. The best thing to do about cyclamen mite is to prevent it by treating the soil every three or four months with sodium selenate. This chemical permeates the fibers of the plant and poisons any insects that attempt to live on it." Like many other garden chemicals, sodium selenate is a deady poison, and must be handled with care, and according to the directions on the container. However, this danger has been reduced to a minimum by the recent introduction of the chemical in capsule form.

One merely places capsule in the soil, thus doing away with the dangerous chore of mixing. Several carden, shops are offering this of safeguarding African violets. Should you have occasion to discard soil treated with sodium selenate do not dump it in the vegetable garden. Put it in a shrub bed and dig it under. Many commercial growers have found that spraying every ten days with eithene teaspoon of TEPP gallon of water or two teaspoons of pyrethrum-rotenone solution to one gallon of neater has kept their plants rather free of cyclamen mite.

To be effective the spray must thoroughly coat the underside of the leaves as well as the tops. Garden Forum Q. A large branch of an old apple tree of ours a few feet over on neighboring property. Can the neighbor cut off the offending branch without W. M.

Are orchids parasitic plants? T. C. A. Definitely no. A parasite is a living plant that lives on another organism from which it derives its food.

Orchids use a tree as a roosting place to obtain sufficient air and sunshine. From it they also get an preciable amount of organic nutrients from the sedimentary accumulations. The leaves are green which means they contain clorophyll and manufacture their own food. Conse- seemingly a new plant to American exhibited in Europe in 1893. How.
