A MERRY XMAS TO SOME.

This Xmas we are at war. We shall
celebrate the Xmas differently than
ever before. We shall use our best
efforts to conserve" as we wish
peace on earth and glad tiding to all
men. A merry Xmas means to such
when one can be made to feel merrie
because of the help he has given some
one else; because they have really en-
joyed and appreciated real helpful
Xmas. But we think of SO many
thousands of persons whose former
Xmas have been merry, but upon this
occasion they are sad. The wives,
sweethearts and mothers and rela-
tives of the 13 who were recently
hung by court-matrial order and those
whose lives are now periled with an
other court-martial, cannot have a
merry Xmas, and it is for those ap-
parently neglected and forgotten peo-
pie that The Star feels depressed and
sad A merry Xmas to some, may not
be a merry Xmas to all.

Lieutenant Werner is in charge Of

seems hardly necessary to caution
against leading a lady about a room

as manv as are present The excep-
tion TO the foregoing rule Is in the case
OF presenting a youthful member OF
society to a woman older than herself
or 70 some distinguished matron. when
II is not only permissible but a com
mon courtesy to conduct the younger
10 the elder. The same rule applies
when gentleman Is to be presented to
lady. An unmarried woman Is In
variablv presented to a nnatron unless
the spinster is evidently a much older
person. In introducing. two matrons
may be introduced with equal defer
ence to both by saving simply: MRS
Sharpe. Mrs. Wright"
Among men. when age dignities and
titles are not in evidence. introduc-
tons may be made by mentioning sim

oft-repeated questions. what shall I

are quite simple and not difficult TO
remember. A woman in her own
house would not give an impression of
cordially If she did not extend her
hand on meeting people for the first
time and say: MIR. or Mrs. Brown. 1t
is a great pleasure to know you." or
II am delighted to know you" A
young lady would not express any
particular pleasure on making the ac-
Quaintance of a young man. unless she
is playing the part of hostess. On the
other hand, a man on meeting lady
for the first time Is obliged by the die
tates of courtesy to express his gratifl-
cation by saying: IL am happy to
meet you, Miss White" or some other
such phrase. With the exception OF
strictly formal occasions, the woman
who offers her hand gives an impress
sion of cordialit.- that is most crafty
ing to a stranger. Otherwise, slight
inclination of the head. murmur OF

to express exactly what you have to
say In as straightford and clear a way
as possible. You should remember
that every moment you waste is stolen
from the other person. Time really is
money in business. To sit at desk
and listen to the aimless ramb1ings of
chatty even though entertaining per-
son. when you are pressed with things
that simply cry TO be done. is a tor
ture. In the old days they used to

classes in good business manners to-

You hear people say: "A business

If 1t could only be impressed upon

Exercise stimulates circulation, and
without good circulation you cannot
