WHO PAYS FOR
TICKETS?
I-Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- am a high school graduate.
"A says, when extending an
invitation to a gentleman friend
to go to the prom with you the
gentleman pays for the tickets
He does not know anything
about the prom. as he does not
go to our school.
b says, when extending an
invitation to a gentleman friend
the girl pays for the tickets and
gives the tickets to the gentle
man to hold until the day of
the dance.
will you please tell me which
is correct? MISS A. n.
u IS CORRECT. When a young
10 lady invites q gentleman to
go with her to her prom she
is the hostess, and as the hostess
she should assume all the re-
sponsibiIities Of her hostess-ship.
Since one Of the details of such
hostess-ship is the providing Of
the tickets, she should buy them.
Also, since, as you say, the
gentleman does not know any
thing about the way the, prom is
managed, 1t would be very awk-
ward for him to try to get the
tickets.
In some cases where q girl in
vites a gentleman to dance, he
might be uncertain as to whether
or not he would be expected to
buy the tickets, and SO, 1t would
be kinder for her to send him the
tickets for safe keeping" to let
him know that she has them.
But / think that no man would
think that he would be expected
to buy tickets for girls Prom"
and so it would not be necessary
for her to send him the tickets.
Would you mind, dear High
School Graduate, il l suggested
to you, in what would want to
have you interpret as most
kind and helpful intent, that you
should be more careful in the
details of your Ietter writing?
High school graduates, you know
must prove their culture. am
so anxious that all the readers of
my column should pay especial
attention to letter writing, since
1t is one of the first things that
people notice about people. and
since it is so easy to acquire this
art of everybody"
First. you should not write
in pencil, dear lady. And, then,
you shouldn't use authorizations
on your envelopes and in the
heading of your letters. And you
should space your letters care
fully as to margins. And you
should not use subjectless sem
fences, like Am inclosing."
Write, instead, II am inclosing."
And-most important of aldo
not write Miss" in the direct
signature of a letter. This Is a
most serious error, and Is a
give-away of your not knowing
what's what in letter writing
Write the Miss" in parenthe-
SEES before or under your sigma
ture. and don't abbreviate your
first name. This is the correct
form:

OLD DOGS AND NEW TRICKS

handling hunting dogs or even
watch dogs insist that they
should not be taught little tricks,
such as sitting up and begging
for food or jumping through ones
hands. The objection is that the
trick dog comes to look for sig
nails from hfs master and is less
likely to act on his own initiative.
On the other hand, many trainers
take an opposite view and think
that learning tricks is good dis
cipline and helps in a dogs gen.
eral mental development.-Fre
