GOOD FORM

know what form of letter would be all right,
find your meaning not perfectly plain,
so would like to hear n little more before
answering you fully. If you and the girl
you speak of talked together on the train
and you know where she lives. 1t would be
proper for you to write her little note and
say you want very much to pursue the
acquaintanceshp that as you are
stranger here, you will not be able to find
mutual friend to introduce you in the
usual way, but that as you had met and
conversed together when travelling. you
hope that she will remember you and that
her parents will ALLOW you to call on her.
on the other hand, If you have not spoken
to each other on the journey and that is
seldom If ever advisable it would not be
proper to seek an acquaintance unless YOU
can find some one who knows the girl and
VIII Introduce you to her, If she is willing
to meet you.

It must be remembered that most of the
queries in this column are answered ac-
cording to general rules of etiquette and In
some cases to local customs as well. For
instance, in this city II is not considered
good form for a woman to take mans
arm when walking with him. Some 80
or 40 years ago it was the proper thing
to do, but now II Is not done. These Gus
toms change according to the time and
the place in Cuba, for instance, 1t would
be considered strange If a man did not
offer his arm to a woman after dark, and
after a dance there 1t is customary to take
mans arm when going back to ones
place. In many European cities 1t is good
form to walk in the street arm in arm.

Orleans 1t is not good form at all.
How to Eat Sandwiches

one sees so many people do? r. G. NJ.
1 cannot give you a general answer
about sandwiches. 1t depends very much
on their size and the ingredients, A club
sandwich must, of course be eaten with
n fork, and If the toast is too crisp to sep
arate with a fork a knife may be used to
cut it through. club sandwich should
never ne eaten Win tle llnReTs. me SIildll
sandwiches which are served with afternoon
tea, should always be eaten with the fn-
gers.
Sandwiches which are little larger.
such as one would order In a restaurant,
should be eaten with a fork.
The fork is held in the left hand when
one is cutting meat. and 1t is permissible
to eat the meat with the fork in the left
hand, but It is very seldom done, and II
is far better form to hold the fork in ones
right hand when eating.

though, he is going ahead with the

yet to be learned, an election for

Carranza will probably set the date
for such election in the early future.
The concluding chapter in the re-

KEEPS PLEDGE MADE
1000 YEARS AGO


A strong cast OF unusual photoplay-
ers, headed by Helene kosson and E.
Forrest Taylor, appear to great ad-
vantage in the Mutual ,Masterpicture,
De Luxe Edition, "The White Ro-
sette," produced by the American
Film Company, Inc, which is now
showing at the Orpneum theatre.
"The White Rosette" is wonder
fully graphic picture of the medieval
days. 1t is the tale of handsome
young knight, for whom the heart of
the Lady Elfrieda," wife of the great
baron of the land, sighed.
There is all the romance, the sing
ing to soft guitars, the gentle sigh.
ing, the artful coquetry which one
has been led to believe existed in
those days of yore. But it is more
convincing than literature, because
the life is made real again by the aid
of the camera.
In the second half of the picture,
the setting has been changed to a
modern civilization. The souls of the
characters of the older story have
been reincarnated in the bodies Of
the modern, and pledge which the
young knight made to his dying
sweetheart in the olden days is re.
deemed one thousand years later.
Miss Rosson and Mr.. Taylor are
supported by Eugene Forde, Harry
Won Meter, William Stowell, and
Richard La Reno.
"'The. White Rosette'''' is one of the
most picturesque photoplays recently
produced. .'a>,'' 7rs'
