Dear Mrs Beeclman:
NY boy friend Is taking me to
an affair given by the regiment
to which he belongs. First, there
viii be review and afterWard
there viii be dancing.
/. Is it correct for me to wear
an evening gown or shall I wear
an afternoon dress?
q. VIII satin shoes be appro-
prite with either dress?
CONSTANT READER.
1t Is practically impossible for
me TO answer this question, for
some affairs of this kind are of
b most formal nature and others
of an informal nature. Try to
find out from your friend what
the custom Is concerning the type
Of dress worn, or ask q girl friend
who has attended one OF these
dances and reviews. Usually they
are q bit more inclined to the
Informal In dress than to the
formal. So. II it In difficult for
YOU to find out about the dress,
wear d semiformaI dress, a dress
Or q dance type.
2. Yes, Ii there Is to be dancing.

the foreign threat was not so men,

such successful tournament winners

The cohorts who pick winners in
