feel that as long as he is having a nice tim
back home ! should have something to- helI
pass the time here. Please advise me.-B. G. q
1t seems to me that the young man
is rather unreasonable and especially
so II he goes out with other girls. He
should love you enough to want you
to be happy in his absence. Write to
him and see II you can not come to
some conclusion as to what will be
fair to both OF you. OF course. If
his objection to dancing is a religious
question with him that is entirely Diff
ferent.

clan about this irritation. which may

"The Wandering jew"
Dear Miss Lee: Will you kindly tell me il
there is such a person as the Wandering Jewf
CELESTI.
The Wandering Jew is a mythical
parsonage supposed to have insulted
Christ on his way to the cross. The
story goes that as Christ paused
by the roadside to rest this person
struck him and said: Go on
II go, but tarry thou until I come
again." was the Sayior's answer The
Jew is supposed to have wandered
the world over since then awaiting
the second corning Of Christ.
Table Manners.
Dear Miss Lee: have heard it sid that
napkin rings are no longer used Is it true.
and if so, how should the napkin be left when
one is through dinner:-Doruthy.
In families where there are sew
eral children and many napkins are
used. or where the expense of laun-
deIing must be considered, napkins
are usually required to do service
for several meals. In most house
holds. therefore some device is still
used to hold the napkin. For this
purpose some prefer silver clips or
embroidered bands are newer and
more convenient than napkin rings.
When taking dinner In a public place.
or a single meal in the home Of a
friend, the napkin should be left un-
folded on the table. If one is to be
guest for several meals, and the
household follows the custom Of using
the same napkin for more than one
meal, it should be folded in the origi-
nal folds after using.

1t is both conventional and natural
that young men and women should
