WHAT THE GRACIOUS
HOSTESS SAYS:
INTRODUCING PEOPLE
BY DELLA THOMPSON LUDEs

THE man should be presented to
Il the woman-never the woman to
the man, except in the case of bishop
or some very distinguished member of
the clergy. All women, too, both old
and young, are presented to the Presi-
dent Of the United States. The law
of courtesy demands that woman
shall say whether or not she wishes
to make mans acquaintance. 1t is
the mans privilege to seek the ac-
quaintance Of a woman, and her pre-
rogative to consent or not as she
pleases.
The form Of introduction is:
"Mrs. Dalton, may I present Mr..
Ball?"
If Mrs. Dalton is the hostess, and
Mr.. Ball has been brought to her
house by a mutual friend, she offers
her hand to him or not as she pleases.
Mrs. Dalton, when Mr.. Ball is pre-
scented, will smile and If he stands
beside her for moment where she is
talking with others, include him in
the conversation. If she is seated at
the tea table, she will not rise, but
she will smile cordially and ask him,
perhaps, how he takes his tea.
Mr.. Ball, when presented to Mrs.
Dalton, should bow and say, "I'm very
happy to meet you. Mrs. Dalton" or
'It was good Of you to let me come,
Mrs Dalton" or 1--WE wanted to know
you, Mrs. Dalton, for long time"
He will not say, Delighted to know
you," or PLEASED to meet you," If he
knows better. Such expressions are
provincial indeed, and are not in good
taste. The general reply to an intro
duction, however, is simply, 'How do
you do?"
Do not omit the name Of the one
introduced, no matter how young the
person presented may be- To do this
leaves the one to whom the introduce
ton is made, in ignorance of whom he
may be addressing
An informal method of introducing
two women or two men is to say:
"Mrs. Wallace, do you know Mrs.
James?' or "Mrs. James, have you
met Mr.. Wallace"
In presenting Mr.. Wallace to Mrs.
James, one may say, 'Mrs. James,
have you met Mr. Wallace" But one
may not say, "Nr. Wallace, have you
met Mrs. James?" That would be con-
ferring the favor Of the Introduction
on the lady, which is not proper. 1t
is the man who is favored.
To take a woman to man to be
introduced would be objectionable.
One may ask man if he would like to
be presented to certain lady, and
then take him to her. And one may
ask a woman If man may be pre-
scented, but one may not ask woman
if she would like to be presented to
a man, unless to one who is very
distinguished and important.
A younger woman should always be
presented to an older; an unmarried
to a married woman, unless it happens
to be a very young married woman
and a single woman much older.

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
HAIR IN BRIDES DRESS
By H. IRVING KING

\ MONG the many superstitions con-
1 corning marriage is one which
says that IL an unmarried woman sews
one of her hairs into the seam Of a
brides dress that maiden will secure
a husband within a year. This super
stttiOn is of the same nature as the
one relating to the brides bouquet,
and depends upon contagious magic.
1t has been explained how closely and
definitely the ancientsS conceived the
hair to be bound up with the spirit
ual and physical being Of the individ-
ual. Even when severed it was a
part of himself, or herself. BY con-
tagious magic, of course, the brides
dress comes to partake of the person
atty of the bride. When the bride
is married an intimate association is
sewn in the seam of the wedding
dress. Sympathetic magic takes it's
course and the young woman who
owns the hair becomes inocculated
with the marriage "virus." The linn
itation Of within one year" for it
to take effect is purely arbitrary; but
perhaps the ancients thought the mag
ic ought to work within that period
If it worked at all. We must remem-
Der that the ancients did not regard
sympathetic magic as magic" as we
understand the word, but as a "sci-
entific" fact-as did Sir Kenelm Digby
and his followers as late as the mid
die of the Seventeenth century.

Just as effective Is the narrow suede
belt In bright green, red or blue, worn

Neruou. Systems Vary

1t is inferred that the lowest forms
of animal life have very little ca
pacity for feeling. They do not have
the nervous system to convey feeling,
or the brain to realize it. All pain
is, of course, in the perception of 1t.
But as animals approach the higher
forms, they are acutely sensitive to
pain and have the nervous equipment
to record their feeling and to govern
their actions accordingly. They have
the power of understanding, which ac-
counts for their aversion to the re-
petition of painful or other distasteful
experiences. Some students of animal
psychology. notably Hubbard in his
study of wild animal life in Africa, at
tribute most of the so-called instinc-
tive behavior of animals to an orderly
process Of thought.

Attitude of Delegation to

BLACKPOOL, England, Oct g.
An attack on the attitude of British
delegates at the three-power naval
disarmament conference called by
President Coolidge at Geneva is ex-
pected to have an important place in
the deliberations of the Labor Par
tvs convention which opens here
today.
While the conventions agenda in
cludes discussion of the surtax on
property and investment. incomes,
unemployment, education, general
election program, the liquor trade
and birth control, it is admitted that
the subject of disarmament will have
first rank.
AS the tripartite conference at
Geneva came to an end just pre-
vious to the adjournment of parlia-
ment and little debate could be
allowed, labor is expected to use the
present conference as its first ade-
quate opportunity for an attack.
The governments proposal to re-
form the house of lords is also ex-
pecetd to be one of the most promi-
nent discussions before the confer

BEER AND 5-DAY

LABOR ISSUES
Federation to Open Annual
Convention Today in
Los Angeles.

United Press STAN Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3-Con-
tinusd flights for the fte-hour day
and return to beer in the. United
SsESes will be urged on the members
OF the American Federation of La
Dor, according to impressions gained
az the opening session of the A. F.
of LIS forty-seventh convention here
today.
A report of the executive council
of the Federation, which will be
made before the convention recon-
naends several matters of great i'm
portance to millions of workers in
all lines who are represented by the
500 delegates at the convention.
Want Five-Day Week
They include continuation of the
campaign for iive-day week, a
study of old age pension and insur-
ance systems; study of the cause or
failure of labor banks and invest
ment undertakings; promotion OF
such ventures in the future; cam
paign for passage of laws to prevent
curtailment of normal union activ-
tiles and the sending of plans to
Congress for amendment of anti
trust and anti combination laws so
that they cannot be interpreted
against unions
Reaffirmation of the general fed
eration's position in favor of beer
by amending the Volstead law, but
not the eighteenth amendment, will
be made.
There are expected to be few
fights in the convention, as most
matters scheduled for discussions
are not of controversial nature.
Reach Better Understanding
The executive councils report con-
cludes that prograss has been made
toward mutual understanding be-
tween the unions and the public
during the last year and that there
is a general understanding that it is
a. better business policy to have CO.
operation of unions instead of their
enmity.
It declares that the unions have
been successful in defeating plans
to overthrow control of State unions.
President Green of the Federation
will preside during the convention
sessions.
