MOST ANXIOUS.
Are YOU sure you didn't fairly
drive the man into corner. ana
more or less extract the proposal
from him? I'm being harsh with
you, but that is because you tell
such a one e-sided story, and there
generally is the "other fellows" side
to any argument. The mere fact
that the man writes to you after the
peculiar situation which has arisen
shows certain kindly feelings and
good will. Don't try to force the
situation. There wouldn't be all

II you hadn't been so anxious to
clinch your engagement by an

Iovemaklng in Public.
Dear Miss Fairfax: A young
couple, dear friends of mine. have
been engaged for months. The
Young man never greets the girl
with a kiss or embrace when in the
presence Of his mother, for this
reason:
Being Italian, but In this country
for about 80 years she oftentmes
still adheres to the old-country Gus
toms. This one in question is kiss
ing" which she believes only 10
take place when the young people
are by themselves. 81
Her son, however. does not ap-
prove of this, and when in the glris
home is very attentive even before
her parents.
Is he justified in living up to his
mothers old custom and never
showing any affection for this girl
in his home? DlCh.
I don't, like public love making.

Even young men speak of other
young men as men
The Word Fellow"

Even young men speak of other
young men as men"
The Word Fellow"
Fellow is word that is in dis
repute among careful persons, ex-
cept when used in the sense of a
poor fellow" Or queer fellow"
One does not speak of the fellow
when referring to young men OF a
certain set and never, never, does a
Young woman refer to suitor or
hance as her fellow" Intended is
as bad when applied to fiancee.
In fact. the only word to indicate
the engaged man that seems to be
current among careful people is
"hance." Beau is a word that went
into very bad use, though OF late
years it is sometimes humorouSly
used to indicate man of dudisf
tendencies or in the plural as beaux
to refer to dancing men or men III
general al party. Thus the host
css sometimes speaks OF producing
"beaux" for dance.
NCSpillS Noai.pdhy oau SO'Ais,
with" are both bad to indicate the
activities of courtship. In fact
there is no way of expressing this
idea very definitely. One says that
certain young man has been go
ing about" with a certain young
woman or that ha is "a frequent
caller" Admirer is another word
that is off the list Suitor was used
BY young girls rather glibly few
years ago and so was swain, and
both are still permissible OCCASION
ally when used rather humorously
OF course, gentleman friend" OF
"lady friend is impossible. Among
pretentious words that one should
use carefully arc "ball"-a hostess
never refers to her own entertain
ment with that word; mansion
even nillionaires choose to live ir
houses wadays; "equipage,'
estate" for country place or farm
Another word in this class is mil
lionaire. One never uses the word
to apply to ones friends or relative;
even when one is fortunate enough
| to claim them.

Words That | ell
7 ales on a
! Speaker

There are certain words and eX-
prcssions to use which would be just
as much of "give away as to cat
with the knife or to commit any
other solecism in manners. Some
Young men and women eager to Sue
ceed in society and business master
all their bad manners-duc some
times to careless bringing up-and
forget that it is important to study
the words they use. Their grammar
may be perfcct--but they cling to
certain words and phrases that I'M
mcdiately stamp them as. if not eS-
actlv illbred, at least lacking in a
knowledge of the world and its ways.
Whether or not you like the idea OF
modifying your vocabulary to suit
the demands OF society-the cold tact
remains that certain words and
phrases as long as you use them will
work against you.
"He Says"
An incessant use of "sl1c says and
''hc SAYS" Il said," or, worse still,
81 says" is an example. Women es-
pecially who like to repeat ninutely
previous conversation cling to this
habit. We have all heard young
girls in the street car repeating to
each other conversations they have
had with their young men" in this
way. 1t really does make a very bad
impression. doesn't it? Sometimes it
goes like this: And | said. Why
cidn't you come over last night? |,
expected YOU l said. and he said,
! Well. l would have,' he said. but,
he said, 4 didn't know whether you
really wanted to see me. he said, and
| said, We'll, you know | said, ETC.,
etc.
Changing Usage.
There are certain words once III
good use that now brand their users
As rustic or old fashioned. Among
them are "genteel." Probably be-
cause it was ovcrworked we never
Use the expression "genteel society
or "genteel manners" Smart So
ciety' is still permissible, though that
is beginning to suffer the consc-
quences of overuse.
Lady" and gentleman must be
used with extreme caution 1t is a
good rule TO make that a man never
speaks to women of gentlemen and
woman never speaks to a man OF
ladies. A woman who chooses her
words cafefuily would never ask a
man to come TO her house to meet
"soine ladies of her acquaintance" Ii
she were young she might speak OF
them as girls She would never
do wrong to use the word women.

What IS the Truth About the N0uies9

There is one famous American writer quail
fled by personal intimate knowledge to
see the truth. He is Rupert Hughes, and
he is telling it in the greatest work Of

issue, now on sale everywhere, the heroine
of this astonishing novel encounters, for
the first time, ''the real thing" in the Movie
world. What was the result! Let Mr..
Hughes tell you in the most vivid piece of
writing any magazine has ever published.
When you have read "Souls for Sale
