INFLUENZA TAKES AN ONLY
CHILD

Mr.. and Mrs. Christ Grytness had
the very sad misfortune to lose their
little daughter and only child, Ber-
nice Lavaun, who died March 18 of
iniuenza-meningitis. Lavaun was
born November End, 1917 at Dooley,
Sheridan county. She was an unus-
ually winsome and lovable child and
will be missed by many besides the
bereaved parents who have the heart
felt sympathy of all in the loss OF a
second child from influenza.
The funeral services were held at
the Lutheran church on Tuesday,
March 81, and were conducted by
Rev. Alfred Hendrickson. A great
number of friends of the family were
in attendance. Burial was made in
Greenwood cemetery.

THE Gladstone SIGNS
OF RETURNING SPRING

The gopher and the wild goose
have been seen in the land and. al
though the "equinoctial' is bringing
a little more of the feathry moisture
today, everybody is confident that
the fair weather will SOC return and
that genuine Spring is close at hand.
Our Volt correspondent reports
the first gopher. You must get up
when "Big Ben" calls, or before, to
get ahead of the Volt folks. Now,
can't somebody on the Southside
catch sight of the first Robin? And
maybe Wide Awake or Piety Hill will
discover crocuses in bloom.
Last Monday the first flock of
honkers went north. They came by
way of Wolf Point, of course, flying
low and directly over The Herald
office to make sure they would not be
missed. They took the course of the
Powder River Trail, Cabling loudly
of how glad they were to be back in
good old Montana free air.

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By NARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
FOR THE DANC ESCORT

II it is nos seemly. do It not"-Marcus
Aurelius.
r UST because a young has
accepted your company as escort
to a dance Is no reason to be-
lieve that she wishes to give you any
more dances than she does to any of
the other young men whom she knows
who are present. But 1t is the es-
cort's duty to see that the young wom-
an has a reasonable number of dances
taken. and this result he achieves, even
when she Is not one Of the most pop
ular of the young women present. by
introducing her to other young men.
Usually the escort requests the
young woman he escorts for her sup
per dance-if there be one-at the be-
ground for taking offense If she gives
this to some one else. However, he
is not privileged to take his supper
dance with another young woman un-
less he sees that the young woman
he has escorted has a partner for that
dance.
1t is customary for the escort, after
taking off his own hat and coat, to
await his companion In the hall or cor
ridor before going into the ball room
or reception room. 1t would be most
inconsiderate OF him to start filling out
his W dance order before she had
arrived.
Before beginning the evenings dane
ing, the escort should inquire of his
companion how long she wishes to
remain. If she expresses her wish to
leave after the first half Of the dances
are over-or anywhere else on the
programme should make a mark
through the section In the dance order
beyond this point, as a reminder not
to engage any dances after that time.
II she signifies her desire to leave be-
fore the time she suggested 1t is clear
ly the duty of the escort to leave
with her even though In doing SO he
has to cancel dances promised to other
young women with whom he has en-
gagged these dances who, If they are
familiar with society usage, will take
no offense.
Unless a young man Is engaged to
a young woman or Is her brother u
hence regards himself as her guardian,
he has no right to dictate to her re-
garding the young men with hon
she should dance. At a small private
dance, the fact that the young men
have been invited by his hostess should
be guarantee enough as to their
good To suggest to his
companion that she should not dance
with them would be a d~iscourtesy to
the hostess. At a public dance he
should introduce her only to young
he can vouch for, but even If his
own worst enemy were present he
would have no right to expect her
to decline to dance with him.
