LEAVING A
PARTNER
| Mrs. Cornelius BeeckmanI

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
IL When a girl is invited to
a dance with a gentleman and
during the course of the evening
another Gentleman, a friend of
the girl but unknown to her
escort. should ask her to dance
without asking her escort, is II
correct for the girl to accept this
other gentleman's invitation?
NJ. G. w.
r SUPPOSE that if she wishes
to. stand on tremendously strict
formality she would not accept
this carelessly given invitation.
But If there were no other rea-
son why she did not wish 10
accept the invitation. this reason
need not necessarily hold her
back. Perhaps the man is
thoughtless about this kind OF
courtesy, or perhaps he does not
know that it Is correct and polite
for him to ask her partner. How
ever, it would be very easy for
her to repair the omission, by
saying to her partner. do you
mind?" She surely should do
this, il she accepts the invitation.
Either this, or something a bit
more emphatic, like: II should
love to, If Mr. Allen does not
mind" or "If Mr.. Allen will ex
cuse me, would love to dance"
Mrs. Beeclman will be glad
til answer questions on etiquette
submitted by readers.

Then, too, how about my pay
check?
Is it as big as the mans who
labors less hard on the same job?
Or is he getting more merely be-
cause he wears pants while I'm
penalized for my skirts?
And suppose l. being young,
ardent and foolish, bring babe
into the world without process Of
wedlock? And, having brought
that babe into the World wish
to keep and cherish it? Must /
make my fight alone, and, he
treated As a shameful outcast?
Or will the law make the father
OF that child help in it's support?
And will society recognize my dig
nifty as a mother?
When the child grows up, what
protection may / claim for 1T?
What weapon have ] to fight
the greediness of capitalists who

strength in factories or fields?
What weapon against the stupid

Is II possible for me to get good

Is like. Clean or filthy? And are
the cows healthy or dying with

not look as though the blue sky
of day and the black sky OF night
may be quite different things?
And, in fact, we know that they
are different. The day sky is
formed by the scattering of light
in the. atmosphere surrounding
the earth. This scattering af-
fects principally the short, blue
waves of sunlight. for which rea-
son the day sky resembles blue
dome. So we conclude that the
sky seen by daylight il simply
the earth's atmosphere STEPPED in
blue light derived from the scat
tered waves Of solar radiation.
This sky resembles a screen
stretched over the armament, and
hiding what we may call the
other sky, the sky that appears
at night as dark dome sprinkled
with stars. The blue sky is in

different in it's two aspects, we
call the sky.
Is Sky Empty Space?
You ask: What is that sky;
is it something material or is it
open. empty space? From the
fact that it is blue in the daytime
and black at night you might
conclude that there is. at least,
something material concerned with
it. for color is always associated
with substance. But black is
not a color True. but we also
know that any substance which
absorbs all of the coIors inherent

"oUT OF TUNE WITH JOB

Why are you out of with your job
Is that you do feel recompensed for servlces
Or is it that there seems no chance for promotions
Why place yourself into the toboggan slide that spells
your doom?
This 'out of tune stuff is plainly visible to all con-
cerned.
1t does enhance your value to your employer to see
you gloomy and depressed sOvenly and slack-lookng
You say you tired of the same old thing
But it is the only business that know we'll and
