The following questions come from correspondent who signs herself Jeanne G.:
 What is the proper way to acknowl- edge an invitation to piano recital given by girl friend? If gifts are sent to her what would be suitable and how should they be given?
 At an informal reception who sug- gests going to the dining-room. the lady or her escort? Should a man ai- ways keep to the right in being seated at table when the places are not marked?
 In introducing a young professional man should lady be presented to him or visa versa? And does the age of lady make any difference in the above question?
 Is 1t proper to ask a man in when he takes a girl home and should she ask him to call?
 In reply to the first question, ac. knowledge the invitation to a recital in the same manner and form as 1t was received. do not believe 1t is customary to give gifts except flow. CTS: they are always permissible and acceptable and should be sent the day of the recital or presented to the artist during the performance.
 At all receptions there should be some friend in charge to see that all persons are asked to the dining-room. This necessary individual not being present. 1t is immaterial who makes the suggestion. but perhaps the lady should take the lead. It Is always more convenient for man to be seat ed on the right hand side.
 It Is proper to introduce a man to ( woman always. no matter what the age of the latter. and If 1t is two men or two women to be introduced. 1t Is always the younger to the older.
 It all depends on the hour and int macy of the friendship whether q young man goes Into the house. If 1t is late the escort usually knoxs what fs best to do and takes his de psrture at oneeL

Prof. Gilman A. Drew of the Univer-

that there is no biological reason why
a hen should not ley more than one

that the. same American enterprise

other agricultural products will be
turned to the hen and compel her to

Bratinau tore open the dispatch. AS

The paper was snatched from his
