GOOD FORM

Personally, l should say you would make
a mistake in becoming engaged TO a man
you have known so short time. You
can scarcely be said to know each others
characters or dispositions in that time,
and congeniality goes a great way toward
happiness in married life. You are still
young enough to change your mind in the
choice of your life partner four or five
times as you put on few years.
would certainly advise you not to pre-
cipltate matters, but follow your parents
ruling.

Ah when some other name l learn,
And try to whisper love,
Still will my heart to thee return
Like the returning dove.

And would not be forgot
For l must bear the same regret,
Whater may be my lot.

But thou art not forgot.

As the time for Easter weddings ap-
regard to various matters connected with
the social end of these affairs. And an
other query which is often brought TO the
fore is the matter OF expense; who pays
for what etc
Easter week and the second week after
Easter has always been the most popular
time of the year for weddings, There is
such an abundance OF beautiful flowers to
be had at that time and Easter lilies
form the principal decorations at the
church weddings II Is customary for
the father Of the bride to stand most of
the expense of a wedding; the idea being,
perhaps, that this is the last expenditure
for which he may be held responsible for
his daughter. Therefore, the father or
the family of the bride usually pay for
the church decorations, the music the
carriages. wedding breakfast floral dec
orations at the house, and, in fact every
incidental expense save the othctating
clergyman's fee. the bridal bouquet and
the flowers for the bridesmaids, which eX-
pense is assumed by the bridegroom, It
is usual also for the bridegroom to give
his ushers some small piece of jewelry.
such as a scarf pin or shirt studs.
OF course none of the things men
toned above are at all necessary as ac-
cessories TO a wedding. II is in perfectly
good form to spense with many of the
decorations. bridal party breakfast etc.
II is largely a matter OF personal taste
on the part of the contracting parties.
But should a large wedding be planned
the expenses are undertaken as have eX-
planned

April Fool Tricks

Dear Deborah Rush-Will you kindly
publish some new April zoo, stunts which
girls can impose on boys and girls?
r. II. c. F.
There are not very many new stunts"
this year. though l may be able to suggest
something you have not heard of before
Crullers may be made to look ve~y realis-
tic fashioned out Of brown crepe paper
and sugared with chalk a plate of these
might be served during an evenings en-
tertainment, Another device which will
cause a good deal Of merriment is 10 fll
good-sized paper basket with bonbons
and place it on the table having cut out
most of the thin paper in the bottom.
ASK one of your guests to hand the candy
about and see the CONSERVATION when
the bonbons fall through the basket and
scatter over the floor.
It ia very good idea to serve things
at supper all out of their regular form.
For instance there is jester's sherbet
which is served in a sherbet glass. looking
for all the world like an ice and in real
ity il is fruit salad covered on top with
layer Of whipped cream and garnished
with nut. Jokes and stunts which sur
prise and add to the general enjoyment
Of the guests are always to be recon-
mended but it is not wise nor kind to
carry jokes to making personal fun OF any
one, so l would confine my stunts" to
the kind Of thing / have recommended
above,

Dear Deborah Rush-wil you tell me
If il is ever proper IN go to a cafe in the
evening in street suit? May men go TO
these public places not in dress clothes?
a. G.. T.
It depends very much on the kind Of
cafe you attend. For instance, it is per-
fectly good form to go in street clothes
to the grillroom of a hotel. where as 1t
would not be at one of the usual supper
dances. These rules are usually laid down
at the hotels and cafes themselves. In
some places abroad, and a few here, per-
sons are not permitted to enter the place
unless they are attired in evening dress.

Maclay Hoyne is the one Democrat

attention OF the country on account of
his fearless administration of his great
Office
The New York states attorney has
frequently attracted nationwide at.
tention by his attacks on grafters.
Chicago, the central metropolis OF
the country, holds the attention of the
American people to a greater extent
than any other city.
That is why Maclay Hoyne is today
| National Character.
His fearless prosecution of crooked
policemen, who believed themselves
to be all powerful, has won for him
a place in American politics that will
grow with time.
This was only one Of hundred vic.
tories won by him for the cause of
right and justice.
Illinois could have no stronger can.
didate for National honors to offer
to the Democratic party at st. Louis
next summer.
There Is no lllinoisan named in any
party for high national preferment
A., now, whose record can at all compare
with that Of Hoyne.
He has done things.
And what he has done has been for
the public good.
