NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ ID Would you please tell
me the correct way TO introduce
a boy friend to my. parents and
friends2
~ What is the correct way for
young man to introduce a girl
friend to his friends and parents?
80 When you take a boy friend
to friends house. do you. your.
self introduce him to the girl
friends parents, brothers. and so
forth?
CAD When you meet cousin of
yours with a boy friend who
knows your boy friend, who does
the introducing. your cousin or
your boy friend. il your cousins
friend is a stranger to you?
t5l How does husband &C.
knowledge an introduction of his
wife's to his friends? Also, a
wife acknowledging an introduc.
tion of her husband to his friends
and relatives? ANXIOUS.
Introduce the boy to your
mother in any OF these ways:
Mother, may present Mr..
Allen?" or Mother. may / intro.
duce Mr.. Tom Allen?" or Mother.
this is Mr.. Allen" or 'Mr. Allen.
this Is my mother or mr.. Allen,
do you know my mother?"
Introduce the boy TO your Esther
In the usual way that you would
introduce two gentlemen to each
other: Father. Mr.. Allen or
Father, Mr.. Tom Allen" or
Father, this is Mr.. Allen" or
Mr.. Allen. this is my dad"
2. L have bit of feeling that
you may feel that one introduces
ones special girl friend or
special" boy friend with a diff.
Ierent formula than one does an.
other casual boy or girl friend
This Is not so. You Introduce q
boy to girl or to a woman in
the same way as you would make
any other introduction. And YOUR
boy friends introduce you In the
same way that they would intro
duce any other girl. There is. in
other words. no point OF using a
different phrase. nor is any men.
ton made of the fact that WA
are special friends. NEVER
say, for instance, may I intro.
duce my girl friend" or may /
introduce my boy friend" This
is terrible form.
3. This is q very interesting
question, and can be very confus.
ing. The best way, il all goes
well, is to introduce the boy to
the hostess or hostesses of the
home. and then let her make the
other introductions. II the boy
friend knows the girl, let's say,
then she would introduce him.
first to her mother, then to her
father, then to her brothers.
4. Either may do the introduc.
ing.
5. don't understand this cues,
ton. How can anybody ''acknowI.
edge" an introduction to some.
body else? The wife acknowl
edges an introduction by saying
How do you do?" and the hus.
hand acknowledges an introdnc.
tion In the same Yay-hy saying
How do you do?'

"A FAMOUS Wall Street man Of
n former days-one who made
and lost and made again millions
once told me that among his
proudest achievements, as meas.
ured by his personal satisfaction.
was the calculation of a solar
eclipse. To see the sun and the
moon fall into line, and the shadow
come sweeping on, at the very mo-
nent that his laborious figures
had predicted, brought q thrill that
the market could not match.
This memory was recalled by
the following letter:
II have a AZ inch telescope

cast an eclipse both of the moon
and of the sun. Dear teacher. you
taught me all these other things
although you never saw me, and
hope you will explain to me this
also.-M. D., Rankin, Pa
In the space at my disposal
can only give you some general
hints. To compute an eclipse you
must have some knowledge OF
trigonometry-not a very difficult
science, but yet requiring a degree
or mental application which surely
would not be lacking in your case.
Understand Eclipse
The first thing needed is a clear
comprehension of what occurs Ia
an eclipse. In an eclipse of the
sun, the moon in its motion
around the earth passes exactly
between the earth and the sun 40
as to throw its shadow upon the
earth. In an eclipse of the moon,
It Is the earth that passes over
the sun, throwing its shadow upon
the moon. An eclipse Of the sun
Is the more difficult to compute
because the moon is relatively 80
small that its shadow comes al
most to- q point before reaching
the earth, and it is necessary to
calculate just where the slender
cone OF this shadow will fall upon
the earth's surface.
Account must be taken OF the
simultaneous motions Of both the
earth and the moon through space
as we'll as of the earth,s rotation
on its axis. for these affect the
motion of the shadow and the di.
rection and speed with which 1t is
drawn over the earth. The dis

seII.ExpresslOn md SUICIDE

Self-Expression and Suicide
LIVERY morning. as you sip
~ your coffee. you read OF an.
other suicide Of some high school
pupil or college student.
1t this epidemic OF self destruc-
ton keeps on. there soon won't
be any Younger Generation" left
for the Older Generation to worry
about.
Looking back at your own
bright youth. when every day
was a brand new adventure, and
all, life looked like a glittering
Christmas tree waiting for you to
pluck your shining wishes from it.
you cannot fathom the tragic
mania for self.destruction.
But yours was a different gen.
Grafton, when Youth had dreams
and ambitions and shining visions
of achievement! And you had
never heard of ''self-expression!"
You were green and unsophisti.
Gated! You had never worn a
coon,skin coat, driven an auto
mobile, carried pocket.fIask,
been to a petting-narty or heard
of "sex-appeal." All you knew
about Life" was that you wanted
to DO something very wonderful,
to become Somebody, to show
the worldg'
But you held life's one great
secret You knew, somehow, in
stinctively, that there are only
two things worth while in all the
world!
WORK and LOVE!
To-day, yesterday and forever,
there are only two avenues Of
seif.expression. Through work
and through love!
Today, yesterday and forever.
there are only two important
problems in lifei To find the
WORK you loye-and to find the
companion you love!
That's all there isl There isn't
any more.
What the Younger Generation
needs is a good Dictionary, to
make clear to it the difference
between Self-expressionn and
disqualification"
SeIf.expression is the most vital.
the most interesting thing in The
world. Self-expression through
work, and through love is the
most thrilling experience in life.
1t is LIES primary object.
Life must be a pretty dull,
bleak sort of thing, with no vision
to inspire you. no passionate as
piration to thrill you, no ambition
to wave YOU onward, no glorious
love to look forward to.
The ragedy of the Younger
Generation lies great deal deeper
than the paint on its faces and
the gin in. its pocket-flasks. It
lies in its lack of Imagination, in
its cheap estimate OF work, in it's
lack Of shining ideals. it's empti.
ness Of purpose, it's substitution of
sex for love and of dollars for
success!
