{" member of the Cotillion CIub'-If,
as you say, there Is anything connected
with the Cotillion Club that you do not
like, you should either state your case to
the Cotilliou Club itself, or resign. We
do not thiuk that you can have the inter-
est OF the Cotillion Club ut heart. else
YOU would not seek to give its private
affairs publicity.
"A'-We do not think your question
an especially hard one to answer. I'm
less Il gentleman knows II lady to have
an engagement for Il german or does for
any reason not Intend to go, he should
avoid mentioning the german entirely if
he neither wishes to ask her himself nor
to embarrass her. However, this rule
may be d;sregarded when the lady j.,
deaf or foi other physical or mental dis
ability may not he able TO follow the
trend of the conversation. We would
that we could help you, but fear that
even our opinion will not avail much.
"C"-Were it not for the CLOCKS of
things" we would acknowledge your
query to be stump too sold for us to
handle. If you have IL friend who saws

the victim, which might mean that he is
after "rat.ons' and not you, tor when he
has rations he doesn't need You in his
business. Your friend is candid, to saw
the least, and you should invite him In
to dinner some day. After he has had n
square meal, gently insinuate the ques-
ton Of love into the convers ation and
note the result He may mean that he
loves you to distraction, which is prob
ably degree of irrationalism beyond
which he cannot go and still love At
any rate, he is in IL bad way and you had
better be careful how you deal with him
B--lt would appear that you and
"C'' are touched with the same complaint
and that doubt rs to the honesty of your
sultor's intentions is playing sud havoc
with your peace of mind. We trust that
you sleep we'll We do not think it IN
good taste to assure lady of ones love
in public. That is something that should

and anything else that may be coming
to him. Perhaps your friend may he 50 i'm
