When Manners Are Correct

ing with white crepe or organdie
collars and cuffs. Organdie is
better.
Half-mourning is pale gray. pale
mauve. 1t is not striking black
and white.
And remember that all-white
mot touch of black is just as
much deep mourning as all-black.
This Is a very comforting and
comfortable regulation for sum-
mer wear and for house wear. A
white georgette or crepe gown is
perfect for wear in the evening
at home.
2 How long one ''mourns'' for
anyone depends entirely on the
person in mourning and the de-
gree OF affection and devotion
that person has for the person
who has died. Too, mourning
should be governed by the pos.
sibility OF criticism from the
world. Here, too, in this impor-
tant phase of life we must be
governed by good taste.

NOVEL MAIN
STREET

Every metropolis has its thor
oughfare to which the citizens
point with pride as ''the street
where you meet everybody who is
anybody" In London this dis.
tinction has long been claimed for
Regent Street. whose glories were
originally created by Nash. the
faVorite architect of George ~.
On land which was the private
property OF the crown, Nash
erected miles of stuccoed houses
and stores. The result was Re-
gent Street as globe trotters have
known ii fOraa hundred years.
Since the war, owing to the fall
ing in" of the crown leases. this
famous roadway has undergone a
metamorphOSis.

NEW ARCHIE
GUN

One Of the new developments
in fighting equipment of the
United States Army is an anti
aircraft gun which automatically
sights targets in the air. The
gun Il controlled by sensitive
instrument which detects the posi-
ton of moving airplane BY
sound waves. At night a similar
instrument is attached to 8 huge
searchlight which throws its
beam directly upon the airplane
simultaneously with the discharge
of the gun.

N OF e d Authority
Gives Advice
To Lovers
By Beatrice Fairfax

An Authority on Problems Of Love
and Marriage
IT is pleasant to read stories
= with a happy ending. We re-
turn home from movie with
Q relieved mind and refreshed
spirits when the hero and heroine,
despite all their trials and tribula-
tions, are reunited in the last
scene in one happy closeup.
1t makes me happy and CRATE
ful to receive a letter like the
following. from Hobart and Alice,
telling OF a love problem happily
solved, grieving heart comfort
ed and two who love, reunited,
through advice given IN this
column.
''Dear Miss Fairfax:
II am a constant reader or
your column and have often found
good advice there.
'I had an argument with very
dear friend of mine, and after
that never spoke to him until
one night I read in your column
that the girl should greet the
young man first il he is an ac-
quaintance of hers and not wait
for him to speak. / thought
would try this, and now we are
going out together again.
I'VE announced our engage
ment on Labor Day. Hobart and
/ now realize how foolish we were
to let a little difference come be-
tween us. And we thank you
ever so much for your advice.
Please print this letter so that
my error may be a little bit of
help to lots of other girls.
HOBART AND ALICE"
Congratulations, Hobart and
Alicei I am sure no one is hap
pier over your engagement
aside from yourselves, than /.
And am equally sure that thous-
ands of girls and young men who
read your letter, with it's sweet
ness and desire to help lots of
other girls a little bit," will add
their good wishes to mine. And
you know good will and good
wishes, help US even when they

spoken directly to us in so many

The Washington times., 1928-10-03

DEAR MR.. BEECKMAN:
am a widow and want to
know how long I must be in abb
solute mourning. When may I
be able to wear a touch of white,
and when may discard black
altogether.
2. How long does one mourn
for q, husband? Mrs. l..
This question of mourning is q
very indefinite one these days,
when mourning IL getting very
much Lighter" than it has ever
been before. Many people do not
wear mourning at all, though for
a widow not to wear mourning
would probably cause very un-
pleasant criticism. However, the
widow now rarely wears mourn
ing veil after the funeral. Usually
The Washington times., 1928-10-03

like that or you'll be sorry later
on"
For a moment it looked as
though a good old family row
might blaze forth. Then I saw
Mrs. Jack steal up to Mr.. Jack,
lay her head against his shoulder,
smile up in his face in the most
irresistible, cunning way and ask
sweetly: Must I come right out
and say I'm sorry? And isn't my
husband going to take me to
lunch with him tomorrow, like he
said he would?"
For a moment Mr.. Jack tried

she wishes to continue the
acquaintance. But 1t is equally
true, as Alice interpreted my
advice, that when there has been
a quarrel, both friends should
hasten to greet each other sweet
" and forget the difference of
opinion, IL they hope to go on
with the comradesI1ip.
Quarrels before marriage, be-
tween lovers, are even more dam
gerdus than arguments between
husband and wife. Because a
husband and wife, IL they dis
agree, usually realize that after
all they are married, and

words exchanged But too often
girl, when she becomes offended
with her sweetheart, takes posi-
tive pride and Joy in being over
independent, assuming the atti-
tude, There are just as good
fish in the sea, even though
her heart is maybe breaking.
The result Is, trivial disagree
ment often breaks up promising
love affair.
A genial smile of forgiveness
and greeting, may change grief
to gIadness and crown your
courtship with success.

outburst Of nerves and temper.
It is perhaps useless to say,
Newer get angry" But the Inn
portant thing is. "Do not stay
angry" And do not be afraid to
speak first" If quarrel does
cause the dangerous little rift
within the lutte of love.
Possibly, the advice Alice read
in my column referred to the con-
vention that requires a woman
to bow or speak first when q
man and woman who are
acquafntances met. This signifies
The Washington times., 1928-10-03

to keep on scowling. But in spite
of himself his lips broke into a
smile, he was so pleased and flat

pretty ways. So his arm stole
about her. I looked hastily the
