When to Make Introduction
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ When introducing a man
and a woman, which is correct,
MFR A.. meet Miss B., or Miss
B., meet Mr.. AZ" Please answer
this as soon as possible.
ANS 80 MISS Y.
Yes, indeed, lady, I shall an.
swer this "as soon as possible"
For I should like to prevent you
and any other reader who uses
this terrible expression, meet
from using it. IL you use this
form of introduction you Will
show at once that you do not
know the first rudiments of the
art of introducing l am
sure that you will want to correct
this. especially when it is so easy
to correct.
Promise me that you will at
once throw away this horrible
form of introductiOn-"M Mr.. A,
meet Miss B." or it's just-as1hor-
rible. Miss B.. meet Mr.. A"
Have you promised?
Then, in your introductions,
ADOPT the correct words. Miss
Lady. may l present Mr.. Gentle
man." or Miss Lady. may in
troduce Mr.. Gentleman"
For the more casual introduce
ton. although tine first form is
perfectly correct. you may. II
YOU wish. mention only the
names. Miss Brown. MIR. Smith"
If you use either of these last
forms you will always be correct
and that knowledge will give you
an assurance that ought to be Of
enormous value to you.

There is something about the

A wedding is woman's greatest

electrify her friends, all with one

But, alas, the thrilling and

TN most countries the bride is an
l. honored person, but in China
she is considered almost as low
as a servant. The poor child IS
subjected to all sorts Of indignities
from her husbands relatives, and
is subservient to them all, from
the bridegroom mother - the
mother-in-law is a most important
parsonage in Climatic his young
est sister.
She must work as hard as any
servants, and her little brothers
in-IaW or sisters-in-law may pinch
her and pull her hair as much as
they wish. To all these, she must
show fair face, for these indig-
mites are in the nature Of a test
Of her disposition.
AS is usually the case in Orient
al countries, she may not marry
the man Of her choice, but must
marry the man chosen for her by
her father. And the size of the
purse given in exchange for the
girl has a great deal to do in
choosing a husband. Indeed, the
father seldom takes into account
the character and reputation OF
the sutton Instead, he considers
only the size of his bank account.
Accordingly. often a most worthy
girl has been given in marriage

Extension of the downtown street

of the business district is considered
a possibility with the decision of the
board of safety Tuesday to cooperate
in street car rerouting proposed by
Gustave G. Schmidt, city plan CON-

Wayne Ave. from Pennsylvania St.
to Eleventh St., Schmidt explained.
Down this thoroughfare it is pro-
posed to route number of the nine
street car lines.
Schmidt also indicated many Of
the cars should be rerouted down
town.
1.-THE time has come when you
can't have all Of the street cars run

he said.
Schmidt charged representatives of
downtown department stores have
blocked transportation rerouting, but
that the effort now will be to correct
traffic congestion without paying at
tention to them.
The board will ask the Indianapolis

cars on both sides of the crossing at
