etiquette to he followed in these social
affairs. For the twenty four hours
preceding the party each guest must
avoid the use Of anything which can
produce any odor whatever. Scented
soaps, perfumes, odurous foods and
even spices must be avoided. These
prevent the user from smelling aCcu-
ratcly and also interfere with the other
members of the party.
When You dress, be careful to put on
no garment that has been kept in the
neiGhborhood of camphur wood, tohac-
co. bouquets. dried blossoms or scented
powder. When you reach the house of
your host enter II nS softly rs you car

the hostess burns series Of iuccnScS,
usually four or tive In number. Each
guest is allowed to take three snifls of
each incense and must then jot down
its name and number upon card.
Each Of the four or five inccnscs is
burned two or three times, so that the
number of cards will vary from eight
to fifteen. AT the end the cards are
laid out on the table, and the hostess
reads the names Of the incrnSCs en-.

rank. Captain Magruder is one of the
prominent athletes of Emerson Insii-
tute, having represented that institution
in several important events in the out
door games held at Association Field,
May %. His special prowess lies in hur-
die racing, long-distance running, and
high jumping. He is member of the
Emerson Institute relay team. AS an
officer, it is doubtful If he has any su-
perior of the same rank, outside of older
men, commanding companies in the Dis
trict.
He received his commission because of
the unusual ability displayed in the ex-
animation through which his appoint
ment was earned. He has strong desire
to enter West Point, and may make an
effort to do SO when his preparatory
school work at Emerson Institute is fin
ished.
Captain Homer's career is no less
commendatory than that of Captain Ma
gruder. AS a mere boy when he entered
the company he showed special military
aptitude. and his ability. together with
enthusiastic loyalty, has contributed in a
large measure to the success to the or
ganization. He passed the rigid exami-
nation which is the basis OF all the ap-
pointments in the Association Cadets

His work has always been character

means of increasing the ranks of both
companies.
There is probably no man who has
ever been connected with the organiza-
tion who deserves so much credit for
the battalion's military efficiency as
Major Frank E. Skinner. The board of
directors of the Young Mems Christian
Association selected Mr.. Skinner Us the
commanding officer because of their con-
fidence in him as a man. His relation
to the association during the past four
years has been that of an unselfsh
worker. willing at all times to bear
such responsibility as might be placed
upon him. The board of managers have
implicit faith In his moral Influence over
young men, as well as his ability to
handle military organization.
Major Skinner graduated from the
Central High School. after achieving the
highest military honors conferred by the
High School Regiment. During his
school life he was prominent in military
affairs. being appointed major in his
third year and colonel of the regiment
in his last year. The appointment of
