To those who know of the occupa-
ton of Morocco by the French and of
their great work in that country, it
may seem strange there should still
remain firmly implanted in the lives of
the people the most persistent and
pernicious forms of witchcraft For
many years the French have endeav-
Ored to uproot the belief and to con-
vert the ones who practice its evil
tenets, but to little avail. Today witch
craft is believed in and is practiced as
it was in ancient times, and that Won
derfully rich land is kept in a state of
near-savagery by it's influence.

Questions Answered by Alicia Hoyt.
(Miss Hoyt will answer in this col
umn all questions on matters of ETH
quette addressed to her in care of this
paper. If personal answer is de-
sired enclose a two-cent stamp)
MRS. A: Most business men de-
test calling; and it has become so
fixed a custom for the wife to leave
her husbands card with her own. and
thus to represent him, that it is now
accepted as correct. A mans wife,
mother, or sister may leave cards for
him; but no man may perform this
obligation for another. 1t is much
better, however, for a man to make
his calls in person rather than by
proxy; and every man who cares for
social popularity will do SO if possible.
CAROLYN: 1t is considered a sign
of ill breeding to accept an invitation
unless you have every reason to believe
that you can keep the appointment
To send an acceptance, with the ex-
pectation of being obliged to dispatch
a note to the contrary at the last min
ute, is a great rudenesS to the amiable
hostess who is depending upon you. If
you have any doubt as to your ability
to attend the function, decline the in
