THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
CAN YOU?
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

THERE are certain things that
- every one who wishes to be well
bred should learn how to do-certain
things that one should master in order
to establish smooth sailing on the sea
Of social intercourse.
Can you, for instance, glibly and
without embarrassment introduce two
strangers? Do you know how TO intro
duce a business friend to your wife,
your wife TO the wife OF a business
friend, your son to your employer,
your mother to the mother of a
friend? None of these introducti0ns
should be worded the same, each calls
for slight modification.
Can you, for instance offer your
seat TO woman in crowded car In
the proper way? Do you know the
rules for good form when walking
with a woman acquaintance In the
crowded street of a city?
Can you word a letter asking a
young woman to go with you TO a
dance. or, if you are a young woman,
can you word letter politely accept
ing or declining an invitation from a
young man TO dance?
Now, all these seem like simple
things TO do, but they are things that
sometimes battle even persons who
have had an opportunity to observe
social usages stop and ask yourself
II Won ran do fham They are tlp sort
Of thing that failure to understand
sometimes causes no end of embarrass-
ment when the time comes.

 HARD HIT BY NAVAL CUTS Sheffield Manufacturer Hopes Way Will Be Found To Keep Plants Intact

London, Feb. 20-With Great Brit ain in the midst of it's worst trade depression the results of the Wash ington conference for disarmame ent have come as a blow to British steel and armament manufa cturers.

The decision to scrap naval vessels have caused a certain amount of un- employment, Ba1four said, but he a,c- cepted this as inevitable and pointed out that the British nation is unable ductive, even though it may afford certain amount of unemployment. It is necessary for Great Britain to re- serve her capital for productive pur- poses, which in the long. run will bring more employment than would moneys on the construction of ships, Balfour declared.
 Workers Are PerpIexed
 British armament workers, though accepting the disarmament measures with good grace, are perplexed as to they shall turn. There has been some worry caused among British manufa cturers because of the fact that American firms, which were at one time engaged in the manufacture of armament, have turned their cutlery-a field which has been large 1y dominated by Great Britain. It is also a source of displeasure to Brit 1sh manufacturers that large war

 Princess Mary is one future bride who is not much concerned with styles in the making of her wedding gown.
 Short skirts may come and go but they are not for the princesses who are about to become brides, 1t seems. Fashions in wedding dresses for prin- cesses are somewhat restricted by pre- cedent and the gowns worn by the royal brides of the past, 1t seems.
 The wedding gown worn by Prin- cess Mary will be of empire brocade, with a gorgeous train several yards long and with short sleeves. The brocade for the wedding gown is now being woven in the north of Eng land.
 She'll Wear Shamrock.
 The brocade gown will be decorated with the rose, the shamrock and the thtstle-horal emblems of the Empire It is said that the brocade will be one or the most gorgeous interweavings of gold and silver wire that has ever been turned out in England
