Family Calls First

Dear Deborah Rush--will you help in a
question OF etiquettei 1 am engaged TO young
giri Of eighteen and I gant her 70 come with
should call on her first. want TO know which
is correct. 1 have not told my people yet and
/ thought I would tell them when take my
hancee to see them. SAM.
Your fiancee is quite right You should
tell your family first and they should call on
her before you take her to your home.
Your plan of breaking the news in her
presence might prove very awkward and em-
barrassng for both of you. When people are
taken by surprise they often say and do un-
expected things, and your family would
really have a right to be annoyed at having
the news of your engagement. no matter how
charming and sweet the girl may be. told
them for the first time in her presence.
DEBORAH RUSH.

But only the very biggest" kind OF
women can get away" with a proposal.
George Sand might have. Queen Vic
toria did. Also Jongfellow's Priscilla,
and, by her own confession, Mrs. Inez
Milholland Boissevain. There have been
many more which didn't get into print.
These were women from whom no man
in his sane senses would have run
away. They were pretty sure OF their
ground. And IL they hadn't been and
had been refused they would have borne
their disappointment with a loftiness Of
manner that would have commanded
respect and silence, instead of the ridi-
cule and jibes that the babblers call
forth by their asthmatic signing after
one who loves them not.
A great love, whether rejected or ac-
cepted. should inspire great dignity.
The women who sob out their hearts to
me in words of sickly sentimentalism are
not capable of a great love. They become
imbued with pale-pink passion for some
altogether commonplace creature who at
once becomes the Francis X. Bushman
or Maurice Costello Of their dreams.
How can 1 regain his affection?" Is
the recurring wall. To these damsels who
write II to me would say once and for
all. now and forever, world without end
amen, You can't" In the first place,
the gentlemen are probably not worth
loving. In the second place, you your
selves are not capable of any sustained
affection worthy of the name love, or
you wouldn't be writing to me about It,
To only the chosen few is the capacity
for a real, abiding affection given. And
they are enriched whether their love is
returned or not. MLISS.

GOOD FORM

10 leave? Also II I am not able to go, should
send a formal regret? MRS. +. X. l..
1t is never good form to regret a tea in
vitation. II you cannot go mail cards on
the day of the tea and II you go take cards
with you so you see cards are necessary In
either case. The number of cards to send
should be regulated by the number of per-
sons who have sent you the invitation cards,
yours being sent to the women and your
husbands to the men. and as in the case
you cite there are three women and three
men you should send or leave IL you go,
three of your own cards and three of your
husbands. If you mail them, Of course
send all six in one envelope.

To Clean Marble

When you get your marble pieces out
for the fall, you naturally want them TO
look white and spotless Here is a good
way TO do the trick: Wet the place TO be
cleaned by applying cold water, then wash
with a solution OF one-half cupful OF oxallc
acid 10 a quart OF cold water. Care must
be exercised not to leave the acid around
where children can get 1t, as II is highly
poisonous. Let the solution stand on the
marble for a while. then wash well with
clean water. II the marble Is not perfectly
clean. repeat the process. but be sure 70
have the marble wet when you apply the
acid.

Street Car Controversy

Dear Deborah Rush, see there has been
much written TO you about men giving up their
seats to women I'm crowded cars. Now am
advanced In years, being seventy one. ana l
my seat 10 woman going home on the car AT az
night after a day of hard work? 1t doesn't seem
reasonable to me and yet. seventy-one though
am. want to do the right thing. OLD BOY.
Strictly speaking, a man no matter what
his age should offer his seat to a woman
when the car is crowded. But when man
has reached your age l cannot think that
any woman, unless she too was of an ad'
vanced age would accept the seat. l should
say that you would be excusable II you did
not offer the seat, though, strictly speaking,
II would be in order that you should do so.

To Make Your Skirts Wide

Cords and wires are used instead Of the
crinoline to make skirts stand out just
now. Hoops are still on the market. and
their popularity promises to remain, despite
rumors of the narrow silhouette. Feather
boning also makes skirts look wider. For
the real distended hoop natural reeds are
shown. Haircloth braids come in all colors
and sizes for the same purpose. Founda-
ton yokes for skirts with a fare to them
are to be bought at the notion counter of
any large department store.

EnRlish
(By @. Crouch)

The English students are making
a thoro review of spelling, punctu-
alton, grammar and simple sentence
structure. In composition they are
submitting specimens of descriptions,
narratives and letter forms. Indivi-
dual conferences are given ut fire.
quent intervals Critical papers on
home reading are required by all
English students. Idaho stories are
being sought for and given due credit
in this department.
The class OF English II Is making
detailed survey OF English iltera-
ture presented by the period courses
and to the study OF literature In gem
eral. After a thoro review OF the
/ great periods into which the history
of English literature Is divided, and
consideration OF lts important
movements, the principles of English
literature as an art are to be briefly
considered.
Exposition and argument will be
emphasized this school year. One Tea-
son for this is the belief that expo
sition and argument are OF greater
/ practical value to the average stu
dent than any other kinds Of writ
/ ing. For one high school graduate
/ WHO WFtLE8 nONClMs HtOEAGA Ut UEnGRAR~
! tions, there are hundreds who have
to explain how something works. or
how Il ought TO work. or why II
would be better to do one thing
rather than another. The need for ,
body Of fact to build upon, the need
for precision, for orderly thought. for
method, are things most strongly in
sisted upon in work in exposition and
argument. and they are Of value 10
any man even II he afterwards never
puts pen to paper.
The intellectual discipline involved
In laying bare the structure and In
stating briefly the leading ideas Of
an extended exposition or argument
IL not TO be gainsaid and perhaps In
no other way can the student be
brought to realize 80 wildly how
largely successful writing depends up
on fulness OF information, close
thinking and q sense Of structure.
