Simple Rules for Introductions

| to one another have no precedence.
One name may be given first or the
other. 1t makes no difference. The
person entering q room is introduced
to those present at an informal gath
ertng where there are few persons.
At a large gathering introductions
are not made by a hostess. for all are
friends of the hostess, and. therefore,
friendly toward one another. But If
two friends meet and are joined by q
third know to but one in the group.
then the newcomer is introduced
according TO any one Of the presidents
named above. A person should never
be taken around a room and be intro
duced TO those already in the room.
She may be taken to some special one
because of mutual interests or one
who Is decidedly older. A man who Is
to meet woman Is taken to her.
never she to him. hTese are the most
important rules governing introduce
tons. though there are many more
to suit special occasions. special per-
sonages, etc.
Form.
The form which ordinary introduc-
ton takes has grown exceedingly
simple. The mere naming of two
persons Is sufffcient. 1t is important,
however. to name them In correct
order! Infection plays a decided part.
1t is almost as If the names were
question and an answer, for the first
has a rising infection and the second
an evenness, as If there was a. rounded
sentence rather than the mere giving
of two names.
Simplified Forms.

by mentioning the name of the senior
or more important person or the
woman when a man In being intro

Answer--Don't be too down hearted,
my dear, because your case Is by no
means unique. You say you have tried
every remedy, but have you consulted
skin specialist? Your trouble is an
infection called acne and requires
medical treatment. If you had an in.
lection in your throat or elsewhere I'm
your body, you would call in a special.
list would you not? You would not
rely entirely on home remedies. Mild
cases of acne may be treated success
fully at home, but severe casse like
yours often need X-ray or other spe-
cial treatments that only a skilled
specialist can give. You have evident
ly made the condition worse by trying
all sorts of cures. If you give your
skin intelligent care now. under a
physicians direction, 1t will clear UP
in few years. LOIS LEEDS.

WAR COLLECTION
In CASE AT ".

One is taken back to days of the
World war in viewing the case of war
relics and trophies placed in the
lobby Of the Y. M. c. A. by Fred
Hilburn post No. II of the American
legion.
The case, a handsome affair Of oak
and glass, was presented to the post
by the Calumet and Arizona and the
Copper Queen smelters.
A German machine gun, captured
by the American forces, graces the
center Of the case. Around it are
hand grenades, trench helmets, Ger
man officers helmets, epaulets, Shells
trench swords, officers swords. Most
of the trophies were captured from
the Germans.
Vivid war scene pictures furnished
by Post Commander Jack Weiss are
one of the features of the trophy
case. One of the pictures shows
Quentin Roosevelt lying beside his
plane which had just been shot down
by German gunnerS. Another shows
Roosevelt's grave.
Included in the picture group is
one of Germans taking the first
captured American doughboys to the
rear lines. Others are of torpedoed
ships, German artillery submarines
and other scenes of interest.
Many of the trophies we're obtained
by Fred Hilburn post through the war
department. Each state is allotted so
much stuff captured from the Ger
mans. The collection will be en-
larged from time to time.
Another trophy of interest is the
German guard whip, which was used
on captured prisoners. Another is a

ter of the case is large black cloth
which was taken from a German war
plane.
Those who have trophies in the
case besides Weiss are George Berg
field, Caleb Rice and Ernest Mason.
The collection will be kept on dis
play permanently and the public is
invited to visit the Y. M. G. A. and
view it.
