tually Likes to Go to Teas,
But to the Unwilling Vic

you shrink the worst It will be. Know.
ing that we can begin on the advice
immediately.
1. Never be aimless.
Decide just which corner OF the room
TO make for before you get there: ther
make q dive for II.
& Don't try to keep near your female
escort.
You can't possibly tell what she Is
going to do next. and II you did you
couldn't follow her. The sooner you
realize that a tea IL just like a dance
with the one drawback that you cant
openly clutch somebody with q
stranglehoid for safety. the better you
will get along. Make your self fee
completely free. and make for the cor
ners Of the room.

4. Never stop to apologize.
There is more danger in an apology
than in openly being nailed by a bore
An apology stops you in your course
It lays you open to being spoken to
by friends. First one gets you and
then another. You are then batted
from one end Of the room to the other
and roughhoused through q solid mass
Of chattering femininity.

Your hostess will see you and drap
you both over to the Girl wNo isn'i

man alone sometimes, but never two.

feature of 1t ALL You must Just say.

 Petrograd, June 15.-(via London.)
 More than 15o,oOo men have been captured by the Russians during the offensive
 movement on the volhynian and Galican fronts, it was officially announced to- day.
 The following statement was given out: Supplementary reports give the exact number of prisoners taken as one gem eral three commanders, 2467 officers. five doctors and 150,oOo men. We also have captured I63 cannon, 266 machine guns. 13s bomb throwers and S2 mine throwers. OFFENSIVE CONTINUES "The offensive of General Brusiloff did not stop yesterday. In various regions of
 the front fresh prisoners and more mili- | tary booty were taken. The enemy con- tnues to deliver counter attacks at sev- eral points and elsewhere is busy en- | trenching himself in new positions. | "On the Dvina front and southwest of
 Like Narocz the enemy artillery at some
 points opened a violent fire followed by attempts of the Germans to debouch from
 their trenches. These were all repulsed.
 Tn the region of Baranovichi a local
 action took place in wrich we carried 1 enemy trenches but afteward, under der--
 man pressure, fell back to the point
 whence we started.
 | 'In the Baltic on the night of May S1- June 1 our torpedo boats attacked con-
 voy of enemy steamers sailing under es-
 cort. During the engagement with the
 escort we sank two steamers of a small | torpedo type and one auxiliary cruiser, whose crew we captured. There was no | loss or damage to our side. We re- 1 trained from pursuing the enemy steam CTS because during the engagement they | took their course into Swedish territorial waters"
 FULLER DETAILS GIVEN | The Russian statement of yesterday an-
 nounced the capture of ,17So officers,
 nearly 10000 men. 130 cannon and 26O
 machine guns. It is probable that the difference between those figures and the ones given in todays statement does not
 represent the captures made in the inter-
 val between the issuance of the two state- ments. but rather that the increases are
 due to the receipt of more detailed in-
 formation from the front.
 l The Baltic engagement referred to evil jdently is the one which took place on Tuesday night southeast of Stockholm. A statement given out in Berlin on Wednes- l day said the German auxiliary cruiser was attacked by four Russian destroy CTS and was blown up by her crew, most of her men being saved. The date of this engagement is fixed in the official
 Russian statement by the Russian cal | endar.
 1 SURPRISINGLY SWIFT | Petrograd, June 1o.-(Via Lonoon)
 The Russian advance along the whole southwestern front continues to develop with a degree of swftness which has as- tonished the country. The success or the
 movement thus far is looked upon as the more remarkable in view of the strong
