Heart and Beauty Problems
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson Is 1t proper
for lady upon receivin.! an introduc-
ton to a gentleman to shade hands?
~. L. o. S.
Either way is correct To shake
hands is little more cordial. Do not
start and hesitate. If you hold out
your hand wait until the man shakes
it. So often the woman takes back
hers just as the man reaches out and
embarrassment is caused.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
married woman and like to entertain
a great deal, but as do not know the
proper ideas of entertaining. l do very
little of it.
In giving little informal tea l have
planned a small program also. When
do serve the tea, before or after the
program. or while the program is be-
ing given?
How do / receive my guests. have
no help or servants? E. G. S. H.
Tea should be served after the pro-
gram.
Go to the door yourself to greet
your guests. Then tell them where to
put their wraps, for instance: You
may put your wraps in the first room
at the head of the stairs"
Do not give too much thought to
the correct way of doing things. En-
terrain as you yourself want to. Or
iginality is always treat. But what
ever you do. keep the attitude of per
feet confidence that your guests will
think it all right. Never apologize

Dear Mrs. Thompson: If. boy has
been invited to a party and the girl
he keeps company with is not should
he attend the party? F. D.
Circumstance would decide such a
case. If the boy is very young. he is
foolish to have only one girl and there
fore should not stay. away from the
party because of one, girl unless he
feels an injustice has been done her.
Also, If the people who invite him are
not acquainted with the girl, he should
feel at liberty to go.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am 20
years old and have just finished
school l am the son of a highly hon.
ored citizen and am in love with a
mill girl and my parents object. Will
you please advise me what to do?
IGNORANT.
You are too young to act contrary
to the wishes of your parents in this
matter. For years at least you should
be fancy free so that you can enjoy
different girls and form more definite
tastes. The girl may be all that is de
sirable, and if so there is a chance
! that you will want her just as much
years from now. At that time
would advise you to choose your wife
regardless of the opinion of your par
ents.
Your parents probably feel that
your environment has been so differ
ent that you and the girl would not be
congenial. There is great possibility
of this She may find your society
artificial and worthless, while you ma!
find her lack of knowledge along so
cial lines humiliating. Marriage is ;
most serious matter and should not bt

BURDENS0ME
MINING FAXES

The mine owner who has a body of
silver, lead or copper ore ready for
extraction will await a favorable
time to mine his product u-less he
absolutely needs the money. Uncle
Sam has relieved the gold miner from
heavy taxes, but this relief does not
extend to the other producers OF
precious metals. The heavy burden
of high wages and supplies cuts down
the margin of profit materially and
the producer is further handicapped
by taxation demands. If the United
States treasury expects ever to re-
place the millions of silver dollars
melted up and sold under he terms
of the Pittman act, something must
be done to rehabilitate the mining
industry. The entire world needs
silver, and with untoid millions
awaiting extraction in the West, it
is up to the government to remove the
burdensome taxes so that the pros
pector and miner can get busy.
