GOOD MANNERS FOR
ALL OCCASIONS
Her First Escort

Marie-Louse is going out for
the first time with a young man.
She is eighteen and he is the first
eligible young man who has gained
PERMISSION per from her parents to take
her to the theater and supper
Marie-Louise has a new gown and
mother has whispered many helpful
hints in regard to little matters OF
etiquette for the evening She knows
that she must wait for him to open
all doors, that she precedes him on
entering car. a room or the sub
way. She has been given the correct
table instructions and feels perfectly
at ease.
But mother forget one very impor-
tant thing. When they arrive home
should she ask him in? She stands
at the door very much embarrassed.
1t is after l o'clock and she knows
the rest of the family have retired.
but she has had such a delightful
evening that she does not want to do
the rude thing now.
However. she would be doing the
rude thing by inviting him into her
home. The only thing for her to do
at that time in the evening or early
morning is to thank him for his very
pleasant evening and say good night.
The young man of refinement does
not expect to be invited into a home
and would be very much embarrassed
if forced to decline the invitation
Many girls next wonder whether
they shoul ask him to call. This de-
Ponds upon whether he has asked the
girls parents If he may take her out.
If he has, it is understood that he
may call IL he desires. But if he has
not gained this permission the young
woman may express her wish that he
call in the near future. This merely
means that she is permitted to re-
ceive young men in her home.

THE JARR FAMILY
By ROY l.. MCARDELL

well, here | am: l got off early
from the office" said Mr.. Jarr as he
came in the house that bright spring
afternoon.
The children are being dressed by
Gertrude" replied Mrs. Jarr. 1T was
awful nice for Mrs. Stryver and Mrs.
Aubrey Throckmorton to suggest we
come along and bring the children
this afternoon. Mrs. Throckmorton
is of such an aristocratic, wealthy
old southern family | suppose she
couldn't stand motoring out with
such noveau richie as Mrs. Stryvei
unless some cultured people went
along. That's why we were asked"
Whats the great OCCASION" asked
Mr.. Jarr.
"Oh, Mrs. Throckmorton has some
property on the other side of the city
that is all run down, and Mr.. .Stryver
has a scheme to form a real estate
company and build model tenement
houses on it. Real philanthropy,
helping the poor to have refined SUI
roundings, Mr.. Stryver says. And he
says that model tenements are in
such demand that one can ask very
high rents and the investment Will
pay 10 per. cent"
III be Stryver has told the Throck-
morton woman that we have money
to invest or that | have influence
with my rich old boss and he will in
vest on my say so. AS for 80 per
cent. and philanthropy, that may be
so and it may not be so, but Stryver
will make money, even if no one else
does"
Now, please keep your criticisms
to yourself" replied Mrs. Jarr
sharply. Mrs. Throckmorton is a
very arsitocratic blue blooded
southern woman. and she will not
care to hear that kind of talk" AT
this juncture the horn of Stryvers
automobile was heard in the land
and Mrs. Jarr hustled Mr.. Jarr and
the children down to the costly car
where sat the Stryvers and the aristo-
cratic southern lady awaiting them.
The arijtocratic southern lady was
angular and thin, and held her head
up and sneered at the world.
But when the Jarr children learned
they were to visit a slum neighbor-
hood of all races, to look at some
dilapidated buildings. they COM
menced to clamor to be taken to see
moving pictures.
81 get nervous where children are:
they annoy me-" said Mrs. Throck-
morton. sneeringly. please take
them to see those odious moving pic
lures, the amusement of the vuglar
and the riffraff''
This made Mrs. Jarr huffy, and,
noting very handsome moving pic
ture theatre on one of the thronRed
avenues, she said coolly that she and
