Party Etiquette.

Dear Miss Grey: am in
vited to leap year party,
and am going with u friend
who is stranger In this
town. How shall l introduce
him, as l don't know all the
guests myself? II "A boy is
walking with girl on the
street and don't know
enough to walk on the out
side, what would you do?
And IL a girl won't want to
accept an invitation to the
show, what should she say?
PERPLEXED
Al think IL there is anything
that is embarrassing for all con-
cerned 1t Is to drag yoir friend

Introduce him to ring of equally

any strenuous effort, but intro
duce him to few at a time, and

your friend to her, and to her

Hopeless" Is Interested.
Dear Miss Grey: l am n
constant reader of your let
tiers and have become intense
ly Interested. 1 notice the
girls ask why there is harm
in kissing, and you answer
that they should save their
love for the man they marry.
Do you think, Miss Grey, that
there Is man SO perfect that
he deserves girl whom no
one else has kissed. There
are such girls, and men who
e are unworthy marry and mis-
treat them. Or in many
cases the girls never marry.
So why should a girl deny
herself and marry someone
who has had his share of
pleasure?
HOPELESS.
A.-When the girls write me
on this subject | answer from the
womans side. Get some of the
men to write me on the same sub
ect and see what | will say, EveI
since any of us can remember II
has been mans prerogatlve to
ropose-marriage or a kiss, as
the case may be, and woman's
to refuse. If the girls
will refuse to spoon except with
the men who intend to marry
them, the men will desist. The
men are equally responsible, but
the American women hold the fu-
ture race in their hands--are the
power behind the throne. What
the women demand the men will
come up to. And when they de.
mand clean, live men, We will
have them for the fathers of oui
children. 1t is Ignorance thai
has kept both sexes back, But
today there Is no excuse, fol
