He 'd better stick to his own department . '' -RRB- HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT Mrs. Alexander King killed all her geese the twentieth of December . We all helped pick them . We had one Christmas Day and will have one every fortnight the rest of the winter . The bread was sour last week because mother would n't take my advice . I told her it was too warm for it in the corner behind the stove . Miss Felicity King invented a new recete for date cookies recently , which everybody said were excelent . I am not going to publish it though , because I do n't want other people to find it out . ANXIOUS INQUIRER : -- If you want to remove inkstains place the stain over steam and apply salt and lemon juice . If it was Dan who sent this question in I 'd advise him to stop wiping his pen on his shirt sleeves and then he would n't have so many stains . FELICITY KING . ETIQUETTE DEPARTMENT F-l-x : -- Yes , you should offer your arm to a lady when seeing her home , but do n't keep her standing too long at the gate while you say good night . -LRB- FELIX , ENRAGED : -- `` I never asked such a question . '' -RRB- C-c-l-y : -- No , it is not polite to use `` Holy Moses '' or `` dodgasted '' in ordinary conversation . -LRB- Cecily had gone down cellar to replenish the apple plate , so this passed without protest . -RRB- S-r-a : -- No , it is n't polite to cry all the time . As to whether you should ask a young man in , it all depends on whether he went home with you of his own accord or was sent by some elderly relative . F-l-t-y : -- It does not break any rule of etiquette if you keep a button off your best young man 's coat for a keepsake . But do n't take more than one or his mother might miss them . DAN KING .
