The amount Of benefit you derive from it depends upon

A LESSON IN
POLITENESS
By 7. E. Powers
mrs. Cornelius BeeckmanI

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN!
~ Recently I asked my best
friend IA young mani to dinner
with me at home, Upon finishing
the meal he made no comment,
while l expected him to say to
mother. Mrs. Brown, / have en-
joyed the dinner very much" or
at least make some comment.
Did he do the proper thing, or
should ne have made some pleas
ing comment?
(2) Is it correct for a boy
when taking dinner with a girl
friend in her home to put out
the chair and see that she is
properly seated. or is it best
for her to handle her own chair
and all sit at the same time?
ANN.
INDEED. you expected him to
Il do just the thing that he
should have done. An invitation
of this kind that indicates such
delightful courtesy and .4ospital-
ity should be acknowledged by d
guest with an expression of APP
probation. Your own phrase,
some pleasing comment" just
hits the nail on the head as to
what he should have said.
l hope that he will observe soon
that polite and appreciative guests
thank for hospitality. Then his
hostess will not wait in vain
for a friendly Thank you so
much. Mrs. Brown. for a very
happy evening" Or at was most
kind of you to ask me to come
to your house this evening, and [
have enjoyed every minute.
Thank you SO much"
These phrases. which thank for
the thought of the invitation AMI
the hospitality, are better than
thanking for the dinner itself,
Ann. You see. it Is taken for
granted that the dinner Is good
so one thanks for the thought of
the hostess rather than for the
dinner.
C) If only one gentleman is at
dinner, he draws out the chair
70" the hostess. In the case You
mentioned in question one, for i'll
stance. that gentleman, if he were
the only one at dinner. should
have drawn out the chair for
Your mother and held it until she
was seated. Then, if there were
tire he would, hold your chair,
but probably by that time you
would have taken your seat. If a
girl and man were dining alone
h would hold Ter chair.
MRS. BeeclIman will be glad to
answer questions on etiquette sub
mitted by readers.)

GARRETT P. SERVISS SAYS
EINSTEIN is LOYAL TO TRUTH
This Open-Mi Conduct Is Quite Different
From That of Some of His Followers.

: Einstein theory began with the
assumption that the Nicholson
Morley experiment had proved
conclusively that there is no rela-
tive motion Of the earth with re-
spect to the ether. In direct con-
tradiction to this assumption, the
recent experiments of Professor
Miller show that there is an cas-
lily measurable relative motion OF
the earth through the ether,
which probably increases with
elevation above sea level, and
which, as shown by thousands of
measurements at Mount Wilson,
amounts to about ten kilometers
per second at an elevation of APP
proximately one mile.
Moreover, as will be seen by
reading Professor Miller's pre-
liminary report in Science, the
assumption above mentioned was
really never justified, and now it
is affirmed that the Nicholson
Morley experiment does not and
probably never has given a truly
zero result
Fundamental Fact
Yet, over and over, in the most
explicit language, the proponents
of the Einstein theory assured
their readers that that expert
ment had unquestionably estab-
lished, as a fundamental fact, the
non-existence Of relative mo-
ton of the earth and the ether
But now this positive statement,
on which Elnstein based his the
iC n6 IN hA Pol
And Einstein Loyalty admits that
the theory cannot stand If Mil
ler's experiments are confirmed.
That such confirmation will be
obtained, who can doubt after
reading Professor Miller's ac-
count Of what was done? Being
repeated over and over again,
the experiments have provided
their own confirmation.
This is an example of the over
eagerness, characteristic of the
day, to accept and magnify the
latest thing, especially If the
latest thing pretends to upset or
"revolution.ze,' the foundations
of long established human knowl-
edge. Einstein himself has never
been responsible for the absurd
ties pretentiously set forth as
alleged consequences of his theory.
He has always been cautiouss
keeping the attitude of an in
quirer and a fruitful-minded
"guesser at truth" ready at every
turn to accept established facts.
His true friends will rejoice in
the sound ring of his words in
communication to Science SerV-
iceH:
eff Doctor Miller's results should
be confirmed, then the special
RELATIVELY theory, and with the
general theory in it's present
form, fails. Experiment is the
supreme judge. Only the equiv
alence Of inertia and weight re-
mains, which would lead to an
essentially different theory"
That is speaking like a real
philosopher, a man fit to supple
ment Newton-if he can.

MEDTTATIONS

The Ungentle Art of Fibbing

The Ungentle Art of Fibbing
WHEN IS a lie NOT a lie?
w Oh, lots of times! When
it's a polite fib; when it's good
policy; when it's a duty; when it's
chivalry; when it's flattery-and
when it's an "alibi"'
II +
There are black lies, white lies,
and all sorts of little pink, blue,
lavender and mauve lies, in be-
tween.
It's a lie when one man tells
it to another man-but just
diplomacy" when he tells it to a
woman.
It's a fib when you confess 1t
and a lie if you get caught in it.
It's a lie if man tells it to his
1awyer-and an alibi if he tells
1t to his wife or the jury.
When a woman lies about her
age, it's "fibbing''-butw when she
lies about another worhan's age
it's lying"
You SEE how it is!
When a woman begs man to
tell her "the honest truth" about
herself, he knows that what she
really wants to hear Is some
sweet, old lie-some beautiful and
thrilling "fictionizing."
Any woman would rather live
with a nice, flattering Ananias.
than with conscientious little
George Washington, who was
forever telling her the bitter
truth.
Telling lies is a fault in a boy,
an art in a lover, an accomplish.
ment in a bachelor, and second
nature in a married man.
X
There are men who NEVER
tell the truth to any woman, just
on principle-even when the
truth would serve their purpose
better than lie.
X X
A woman will lie to anybody
else on earth sooner. than to the
man she loVes-Dut a man, alas,
will lie to the woman he loves
sooner than to anybody else on
earth.
Almost any man can make
woman believe that black is
white; but it takes an artistic
lover to make her believe that it
rose-color.
A mans love is not dead so
long as he continues to fO' to a
woman, but when he no longer
thinks it worth while to go on
embarrassing himself, and STOPS
fibbing to her.
The man who lies FOR a Wo-
man is a gentlman; the man who
lies ABOUT a woman is a cad;
but the man who lies TO
woman, in order to preserve her
vanity, is an ANGEL!

IONED VICE OF MAXINE
EXCUSES" WITH A LOT OF
MEAN MODERN ANGLES AND
TRICKS.
For example-you have a sneak
ing desire to go through your
husbands pockets to see If you
can get anything on him. You
know it's a dirty trick, but your
Jealous and angry and you want
to start trouble. So you say to
yourself:
Gosh, Bill will roar his head
off If he catches me doing this,
and / know it's pretty rotten.
But he had no business staying
down town last night without tell
ing me where he went, and at
anv rate I'm his wife and l
guess if I want to go through
his pants pockets I've got a
right"
THAT'S RATIONALIZING.
But suppose. you say:
I'm not doing this because I'm
curious or peeved. I'm doing 1t
for Bills own good> He's dear
bow. but he doesn't know any
more about human nature than a
babe unborn. Take last night Tor
instance Goodness knows what
harpie had hold of him. OF course,
he SAYS he stayed down to work
with Jim on those specifications.
But I'm not dumbell enough to
believe THAT. Not that | mind
where he went or what he dld,
I'm above petty jealousy like that;
But as his wife 1 must safeguard
his interests. And so, though |
HATE to do it and it's against
nv principles, I'm actually forced
to go through his pockets.
THAT'S RATIONALIcING.
And a dirty business 1t Is.
Making excuses was bad enough,
but its cowardice was so obvious
that 1t served as a check. Inc

they all can offer INSTRUMENTATION
OF their conduct that would bring
tears to the eyes OF an aftichoke.
Never, by any chance have they
transgressed because they were
full of cussedness and wanted to
raise Cain.
Nay, nay!
They were misunderstood,
abused, thwarted and oppressed
Their error was not a willful I'M
pulse-it was the sane and sin,
cere gesture of sorrowing soul,
striving to gain its rights.
They say it so well and so often
that they actually believe 1t them
selves!
Nor is this pestiferous practice
confined to the home. Observe
the Rationalizing done by the %
varieties of Meddlers who wish to
ride herd on their fellow men.
There is nothing deep about the
motives of these bimbos. Tney
are mean, picky little souls who
yearn for a chance to bully and
bother gayer, more reckless ma
lures. But would you gather
that from their propaganda? III
saw YOU wouldn't According to
their own paid advertising, they're
the noblest band of self sacrific-
ing martyrs that ever gave their
lives to save humanity.
One can have certain amount
of pity and sympathy for the
Excuse Maker. After all, the
cards are more or less stacked
against all of US. There usually
is some sort of a reason why we
don't make the grade. Though
YOU can't admire perpetual
wilmer, you can at least have a
fellow feeling for the poor fish.
But the Rationalizer is a despica-
BILE creature without a redeeming
trait. He doesn't beg for your
understanding or forgiveness
He DEMANDS your respect ana
admiration.
Think it over, Pal.
Do you just make excuses
or do you rationalize?
