HOW TO ACCEPT
 DANCE INVITATION

When young man asks you for a dance, do you know how to give him your hand correctly?
 If the young man is up on social etiquette. he will offer you the palm of his richt hand when he stands be- fore you ready for the dance. You should place your left hand in the palm of his right hand. You do not give him Nyour right hand for the simple reason that if you do you will have to change in order to dance. If you place your left hand in the palm of his right hand you may then gracefully place your right hand upon his shoulder or arm and be ready for the dance.
 This is the instruction Miss Mar guerite Walz gives to the young women She has visited the hotels and dancing places of New York and noticed that the average girl gives her right hand to the man first and then awkwardiy changes immediately afterward
 Miss Nala also gives few instruc- tions in regard to standing in a ball room or at a social gathering.
 Please don't stand with your chest flat your abdomen forward and your shoulders high" she warns the debutante the social butterfly and the girl who amuses herself in the dance halls. You may think you are artistic. but you're positively awk- ward and a caricature Of womanhood in this position. The only way to stand is with your chest up. your head well thrown back, your abdomen in and the instep of one foot to the heel Of the other.
 And when you walk across the ballroom" continued Miss Walz, ''dont walk with your right hip and then with your left hip, as If you were some sort of new mechanical toy. The hips should be kept as steady as possible and you should tread on the ball of youI foot. not on your heels. This will throw the body backward" ."
 In shaking hands with a new ac- quaintance or friend Miss Walz said Be sure that you are standing well when shaking hands You should as sume a dignified, upright position. Then you should extend your right hand a little over the shoulder level and not up in the air. IL should be warm clasp of sincerity and not an icy, clammy handshake which makes you dislike a person at once. And you should not shake u9 and down as if ringing a bell or pumping a we'll.
 "A man must always be presented to the woman. If she is seated she does not rise. She extends her right hand and does not have to say I am pleased to meet ou' or any other rock bound formal phrase. She may begin conversation immediately. She must not pat her hair or play with her beads. If she does these things she merely emphasizes the fact that she does not know the correct thing to do."

"A PrinCe There Was" Fea- lures Favorite Para
 mount Stars

The fabled pie which contained four and twenty blackbirds. which we read of in Mother Goose was put in the shade by a mammoth cake which was made for novelty scenes in Thomas Meighans Paramount picture, "A Prince There Was, which will be shown at the Capitol Theatre Monday and Tuesday.
 After the excitement is all over and the hero marries the heroine and they move 10 their big country home, a ceremony is shown wherein a huge wedding cake is opened. From this cake, which was as large as a small house, comes a Shetland pony upol which is mounted a little child Some fifty children, daintily dressed, then proceed from the inside of the cake and then there is one grand party in honor of the lovers and their little adopted girl, who was formerly the little drudge at the boarding house. but the one who started the romance by bringing the Prince" and the girl together. The role is cleverly enacted by Charlotte Jackson, who proves herself real character arr tist.
 Mildred Harris plays the lealing feminine role and Nigel Barrie Syl- via Ashton, Guy Oliver. Fred Hunt ly and Arthur Hull are also in the cast. The picture is an adaptation by Waldenar AounS or the famous George M Conan legitimate sue cess. Tom Forman directed
 For Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the Capitol management has scheduled Norma Talmsdge and Milton Sills in '"The Probation Wife" a picture that is cure to please every lover of good motion picture entertainment, while for Fri day and Saturday, Marion Davies will be seen in Buried Treasure" one of the most delightful pictures which has even been witnessed and in which this dainty star appeared. Manager Royster is determined that his slogan, well bring the big ones back sometime, so you can see them for a dime" will and must be lived up to in every sense of the word. and if future bookings are as good as the past attractions at the Capi- tol manager Royster will have nothing to worry about, except get ting more room.

Some Things That
 Mothers Should Know
By DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST
 DEAFNESS

Deafness is a tremendous handicap to the growing child, preventing his mental and physical growth to an extent little realized by the average parent
 Now that school days are near, it hehooTes all mothers to carefully look into the physical needs of their children, The special senses should nave constant concern, and of these the sense of hearing Is not second to that of sight. but equally important
 Deafness may result from condi- tlon residing in any portion of the three divisions of the ear; the first thing to discover is what part of the car if any. is at fault. Deafness. elthef partial or complete. may arise rom ohsu-uetons in the external ear. such as foreign bodies (dirt, flies, ldiNae, lmpacted wax, anything that piugs up the external canal). and narrowing of this canal sometimes occurs so shutting off sound; or 5 spur Ca bony prominence) may de- velop; again. repeated boils in the ear often interfere with hearing.
 When boil is of deep origin, pus may huTrow beneath the outer GOV ering of the bone, inward towards the tympanic cavity. closing the opening completely and giving rise to eXeruciating painf The pain within the ear and the swelling which often extends back of the ear may arouse suspicion of maStoid abScess.
 The external ear canal is cartila- ginous (gristle), and it's junction with the bony portion is the most frequent seat of boils. Now, in case the cartildginous part is closed by swelling, so preventing examination of the ear drum, gently insert pledget of tightly rolled cotton dipped in a solution consisting of equal parts of camphor and carbolic acid, and allow this to remain for few minutes This reduces the swell ing; 1t also causes loss of sensation. so that examination of the surround ing parts is facilitated and the un deriving trouble arrived at.
 Middle ear disease, so frequently arising as a sequel to scarlet fever, Is one of the chief causes of partial deafness, while complete destruction of the ear drum may result in abso- lute loss of hearing upon the affected side.
 The semf-lunar or semi -c:rcuia, canals constitute not only the actual organ Of hearing, or the sounding apparatus. but here also resides that marvellous function of equilibrium (muscle balance) whereby man IS enabled to maintain the upright po- sition and move about perfectly without toppllng over. Any inter- ference with this delicate organism results in deafness (whether tempo rary or permanent depends upon it's nature) and with perfect body bal ance.

 He played in all moods. His liquid Chopin-tones brought out all the exquisite harp qualities. His pearly fountain sprays conveyed to the mind the iridescence of dew drops. He went into leaps and bounds and broke out into his magnificent Mag urba, using all the bravura and tech nique at his command. The Music Study club is to be congratulated on their unselfish selection of artists, in not only having pianists, violinists and singers, but cellists and harpists, and then in giving us an oppor- tunity of hearing the new" as well as the 'old.'
 Miss Norma Schoolar. who has been receiving a warm welcome from her friends, and who has delighted many with her singing this summer, has re- turned to Virginia to resume her work as head of the voice departm ent at Mary Baldwin Seminary. l got in touch with her just as she was leav- ing and she told me of hearing One gin last winter at Carnegie Hall. She went to hear Harold Bauer, and being a singer she naturally was in- terested when she noticed on the pro- gram that there was to be a con tralto. The minute Onegin came on the stage" she said, T sat up and took notice, and before she finished her first number I thanked the kind fate that led me to Carnegie Hall. Onegin has indeed the most gorge ous contralto I've heard in many years, and I predict that she will be known, as the greatest contralto of this day and time. It seems that she is blessed with every talent or gift that goes to make great singer beautiful quality of voiceLimmense range-intellectual as well as tenn peramental singer-a rare combina- aion."

EARNINGS FAR AHEAD

Wage Farmer Called More Pros-

NEW YORK, August 5.--The Americas wage earner is more pros rorous now than he was during the so-called peak period of 1920, tho national, conference board announced today basing it's conclusions on a study of conditions in plants employ ins more than G00,000 workers.
 The board. which performs indus trial economics research, found that the comparative excess of rising wages over rising living costs was between r and IS per cent greater in May, 1923, than in June. 1920. Figures for June, l914---the last pre- war month-were used as basis for the comparison.
 For the last few months, 1t was pointed out wages were fast ap- proaching peak levels, while the cost of living was considerably below the peak. "Earnings have risen so much more than living expenses" it was found, that 1920 need no longer be considered the n"st recent high wa ter mark for the worker in indus1 frVb
