DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

JEAN +hhC. DEEOhMAN
When having breakfast in the din
ing room of a hotel would you suggest
wearing a hat when l am wearing a
very light silk dress?
=. When eating vegetables would
you think it proper to change the fork
to the right hand?
3. When meeting someone for the
first time. can you tell me of some
thing very courteous to say when be
ing introduced? A. X.
/. Yes.
2. Yes, it is proper but not neces-
sary.
3. Do you mean in acknowledging
an introduction? The best acknowl
edgement OF an introduction is How
do you doY" or that phrase with the
addition of the name, if you are sure
that you have it correctly. After that
you say something that will start a
convcrsation-something about mutual
friends. about the place where one is,
about the entertainment at which one
is. or even about that best of all con-
versation startcrs-the weather.

a man whom ] know in a business
way has just lost his mother. What
would be the correct thing for me to

ANXIOUS.
You should not say anything to
him unless he open the subject to

probably will not do. 1t is not kind
for us to mention a loss which is so
personal and intimate. for people have
very personal ways of looking at such
griefs. Most people, as n matter of

Meditations of
a Wife
If You'll Believe Me.

If You'll Believe Me.
The greatest surprise some men
will have in Heaven will be the as
constituent on the faces Of their
wives, at seeing them there.
The thing that tires and exaspe-
rates n man most about a woman is
that she seems TO expect him to keep
right on being in love with her for
"a hours a day.
II we really develop through pain
and suffering, the woman who is mar
ried to n man who is perpetually be-
ing funny" ought to be spiritually
ready for Heaven, long before she
dies.
There is no comfort in being in love
with an awfully attractive mau--be-
cause you never can be perfectly sure
of him until you've married him and
you never can be at all sure of him,
afterward.
No matter how smooth mans dis
position, somehow. marriage is guar
antecd to put permanent kink in it

what's clogsinS his mind or working

The moment man falls in love

Sending Engagements

DEAR MRS. BEECKNAN

DEAK MRS. BEECkMAN:
When sending out engagement an
nounccments is it proper to send them
to my fiancee's friends whom do not
know! ii. Il. NJ.
1t is not considered correct to send
formal engagement announcements, but
if you do send them, they should be
considered as all other formal an
nouncements are considered, for in
stance, wedding announcements. There
fore they would be sent to two lists of
friends, those Of the bride-to-be and
those of the groom-to-be. 1t would
make no difference whether or not the
bride knew the friends that are includ-
cd on the grooms list.

SAYS GEORGIA JUDGE
Instructs Grand Jury to Investigate
Rocky Ford Affair

Sylvania, Ga, May 27-The recent
lynching at Rocky Ford, the only oc-
currence Of the kind in Georgia this
year, came in for severe arrange
ment BY Judge H. B. Strange, in his
charge to the grand jury on the con-
vening Of Superior Court here. II do
not condone or PALATE in the least the
crime the victim of the mob is al
legged to have committed" said Judge
Strange. IF he was guilty, he de-
served the extreme penalty Of the law,
that was death. But the Constitution
Of the United States and the Constitu-
ton Of Georgia expressly provide that
no person shall be deprived Of life, lib
erty or property without due process
OF law. Instead Of giving the case this
direction, the mob disregarded the law
and, / understand, burned this party
at the stake. AS much as the victim
may have deserved death, every man
engaged in that lynching is guilty Of
murder. They have stain upon them
that will be hard to eradicate"
Judge Strange embodied in his
charge a striking story of relative
whom, as a boy, he heard make the
statement at Springfield camp meeting
that God had forgiven him for every
sin he had committed except one and
that he never expected to be forgiven
for that. II was quite boy" said
Judge Strange, "but | knew what he
referred to. During the war between
the states he had helped to lynch Brad
Jones for buying cotton and other
produce from the slaves and because
he sympathized with the Yankees.
This man was no weakling; he was

He had helped to take life contrary

Him face to face and we shall know as

your own consciences, as this court
