and make their experiments, sure
of a welcome and a blessing when
they turn back home?
Will it in short give them as
much of a chance to find God
within it's portals as the world
offers on the open highway?
Or will the Church say to them:
"You are too young to find God.
You must take the God We give
YOU. You mustn't shout and
argue and question and disagree.
We have a nice. modern. nickle

to be useful in all emergencies

~ We have had considerable
dispute as to whether or not the
terms, Eyes, sir" and mo, sir"
Eyes, am" and mo, ma'am,"
are proper in the business world.
= We will be pleased to hear your
version on this matter.
While it could never be said
that these expressions Of respect
are not proper" in the business
world, they are. indeed, outdated.
And the ina am" is more old
fashioned than the "sir." Many
employees, indeed many people in
all walks Of life, use the word
''sir" as the French use mon
sieur," as an indication of the
graciousness of one gentleman to
another or lady to a gentleman.
Indeed, the most distinguished
gentleman / know, a gentleman
who has been loaded with honors
from individuals and governments,
always uses "sir" in his address
to any other gentleman. It gives
a very courtly and dignified flavor
to his form Of address.
But, as general rule, it is bet
ter to use the name Of the person
to whom one is speaking, espe-
cially to ones employer: Eyes,
Mr.. Brooks" mo, Miss Allen"
And If young people in business
offices realized the value of this
gracious addition to an answer
they would incorporate it into
their speech, which is really into
their nlanner.

A be contrary to good form

What groom would tolerate hav-

B is, in the main, correct. But
the brides family usually, also.
provides the flowers not only for
the maid of honor but also for
the other bridal attendants. Or
the groom may do it, if he wishes.
