LIVERPOOL, England, Aug. 2-—The people In England and on the Continent have a peculiar way of handling a knife and fork. They haven't heard of Emily Post apparently, Our method of cutting meat, using the fork after placing the knife on the edge of the plate, is strange to the Englishman. We're even, For a long time I've been tempted to try ‘eating a meal the English way by taking a fork in the left hand, the knife in the right: and holding on until the meal is finished. » Bb ; I THOUGHT I had a good idea how they get the food off the plate, The theory was in my head and all that remained was to put it intd practice the moment enough courage flowed through my veins. So, last night, on the eve of my departure for ‘America and home, fortified with a couple of stiff apertifs, I decided to take knife and fork and make like an Englishman. The meal consisted of two thin slices of lamb, new potatoes and peas, round, firm and difficult to handle. It was a typical, dull, English meal. Cutting the meat was simple. You always hold the tines of the fork down and press the” food ond You never nold the fork in a scooping pogition. I did fairly well pressing the meat on the fork with the knife, The next task was to cut a portion of potato and get it on top of the meat. The English w.y is to stack a little of everything on the fork.. It dogsn’'t matter a great deal how as long as it stays put, In the process of maneuvering the portion of potato on the meat, it fell off and the potato rolled to the floor.” A waiter covered his face with a dish towel and began to cough violently. > o» & ANOMMIER small hunk of potato I smashed and plastered. on the meat as you would jam

Ode to a Couch By David M. Nichol

RERLIN, Aug. 2—Every_now and again the flypaper makers who plan societies like those in Kastern Germany get tangled into their own glue, This is the still unfinished odyssey of a worn couch, A mother in Naunberg about 100 miles away proposed to send it to her married son in East- | ern Berlin. It was to be used by one or two of the hundreds of thousands of blueshirted Communist-led youngsters who will be here for two weeks from Aug. 5 to 19, Eastern Berlin officials are frantic trying to provide ac-

pected visitors. In any case, the conch Dlotped: Lo Ah Mak. ried son,

THE remarkable adventure begins in late June with mother in the reception room of the

woman mayor of Naunberg. Mother fills out a

form, is told she must have two witnesses to testify the couch is her property. Six days later: Mother finds two witnesses witH time and energy enough to-go to city hall. Depositions are taken. Mother informed she must go to the “housing office.” Housing office says it has nothing to do with case. Eighth day: Application form has disappeared from mayor's office, Mayor's new secretary says it is only proper. “The democratic sector of Grater Berlin belongs to the West,” the secretary announces. She knows better now. “Democratic sector” is the Communist labor for

NEW YORK, Aug. 2"Taxi, Taxi!” (A Little Story of New York). It was just before dusk when we met this taxi driver who had adventure and romance in his soul. He was husky, about 40, and inclined to be hard-shelled and lippy. but he. couldn't resist turning around and saving to my Beautiful Wife: “ “Lady, that's nice: perfume- I can tell you what it is’ : Without anvbody saying he couldn't. he said, “It’s ‘Joy. I love to smell that perfume on -a woman.” 3 “How do you know about such things?” “the B.W. asked him. She pointed out that I don't know perfume from toilet water... , . He drove right on withcut answering. Down past Frank Costello's, past the Century where Ethel Merman, Nanette Fabray and the other celebrities live. “I'm goin’ to Casablanca in two weeks on-a construction job,” he said. “I'm gonna bring some ‘Joy’ home-—-to sell—not for any dame!”

“YOU GOT a family?" I asked. O. Henry 0. O. Mcintyre and other N. Y. chroniclers used to discover these fellows every day. Why not me? “A family! A wife and four kids!” “Taking them along?” He scoffed loudly at that. “I'm going’ to get AWAY from 'em!” “Re gone a year or 0,” he sald. “I'm a crane operator. Make good money, see. Thousand a month.” “And living must be cheap-there,” the B, W. said. : “Oh, they house and feed us. It's a defense job . . . an American air base. And they talk peace, hah, hah.”

HE WAS driving past the Cafe de La Paix at the St. Moritz—Joe E. Brown’s hangout when he’s here—and rushing past the Hampshire House where Paulette Goddard lives when she's in town. And they think they have adventurous lives, “You'll save a lot of money,” the B, W. said. “In a year I ought to save $10,000—what jt takes other guys 10 years to save,” he said. “I'll come home and’ get._a nice little place im the country for the wife and kids. I'll bring back some of that. ‘lov’ :.for the Wife. 1 love to smell- that perfume on a, wenigi." £3

“I thought you were going: to sell it," the

B. W, said. “Ahhhhh!"” he =aid laughing sheepishly. . “Happy trip!” we sald as we left his cab.

Finally tres peas were sufficiently madngled so they would stick to the tip of the knife. It was an anxious moment. I had’ to rub the peas off the knife on to the glob of potato. By that time my left hand was shaking. And it wasn't from the apertifs, The peas stuck to the mouthful I was building. A little mint sauce went on top. With confidence I dipped the mess into a small’ mound of salt on the edge of the plate -and swung the fork to my mouth. ® do BH I BETTER explain the salt. In the majority of places you won't find salt shakers. Salt usually comes in a little dish with a tiny spoon. You take the desired amount of salt and place it on your plate and © season each mouthful by dipping. Screwy, but that's the way it is. Lamb never has been a favorite meat of mine, That piece was exquisite. It is true a person appreciates something more if he had to work for it. The waiter was smirking. T had the feeling that he thought beginner's luck had something to do with the initial effort. 1 packed another plece of lamb on my fork, fiddled with the potatoes and chased the peas. In three minutes I was chomping.

I MUST confess that at the Jalfway point as I began to froth at the mouth, I took the Tork in my right hand and got some food off the plate in a hurry. The waiter went into the kitchen and 1 didn't see anything wrong in cheating. I don't know why they make so much use of the knife. It seems ridiculous to push everything on the fork, even potato chips with a knife. And that's a sight to make a brass monkev laugh. England, good-by, I'm going home and eat.
