Believing in preparedness, the
fall suit is trimming itself lavishly
with fur in view of cold, hard
winter. Tweed, duvetyne and vel
vet are the approved fabrics, ana

cuffs are trimmed with fur, but
also the hem of the coats.
A new rah-rah for the collegiate
lady is the leather trimming on
her campus clothes. Sweaters
have large appliqued bows of
leather at their neck line, whether
the neck is round or merely a V.
Leather trimming is also seen on
straw hats of contrasting color.
Buttonholing the glove in a Sc

are frequently seen.
The alligator isn't exactly S

MRS. Cornelius Beeckman,

AVA IVA
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/ have been told by good au'
thority that when a man and
woman are seated at a table in a
restaurant the waiter hands the
man the bill of fare. He reads
the various items aloud to the
woman, and she chooses her or
der in that manner, gives her or
der to him, and he, in turn, gives
It to the waiter. My friend does
not agree. He maintains that the
girl also is given a menu, and
uses as proof that in every high.
class restaurant this method is
used. Please correct the wrong
one. LILLIAN.
Usually each is given a menu
card, and they choose the dinner
together. However, think that
what your friend has fundamen-
tally in mind is that the gentle.
man. who is the host, should take
the initiative, and with this point
of view I am heartily in SYM
pathy. The host should be "ac-
tive" about the menu, suggesting
various items that he knows are
perhaps specialties OF the restau-
rant in which they are dining,
making it easy for her to make
her choice, and, in general, being
the "masterfuI host" If he can
do better with one menu card
than with two, so much the bet
ter. / can easily understand that
he might! The man who invites
a girl to dine with him and then
weakly hens and haws about
what to order, and shows that he
doesn't know what such kind OF
hospitality Is all about. is dis
appointment to the woman he
has invited. If men realized this
more they would acquire more
graciousness and gracefulness
about doing the ordering. And l
am sure that from what your
friend maintains, he would be able
to take the reins Tor the menu
card in his own hands and order
an interesting and well-balanced
meal. And he is right about the
girls giving her order to her host,
and the host giving it to the
waiter, with his own.
Not Necessary to Send q Present
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Should l give wedding present
to the man with whom l went out
three or four times? l had known
him about a year before l went
out with him. but only to speak
to. l don't know the girl he IL to
marry at all.
II sent the gift, should ]
send it before the wedding, and
to whom should it be addressed
to the man or the girl? M.
There is no reason for sending
a gift under these circumstances.
and l suggest that you do not
send one.
2. II you do send one, the gift
should be sent about two weeks
before the wedding. and it should
be addressed to the bride-to-be-
even though you do not know
her. This is definite rule about
wedding presents.

Harold's first offen5e had been
more in the nature Of a joke on

The boy had stumbled upon the
tact that he could duplicate his

more TO see if he could get away
with IT than for any other reason.
But Amos JudsOn had taken a
more serious view Of the matter
a stupendously serious view, as a
matter of fact And Harold knew
that he meant What he said in re-
gard to it.
There had been no more forging
on the boys part, but there was his
gambling which finally had driven
his father to the necessity of curb
ing his allowance and the threat
of prison if his passion led him
into crime
And now Harold had committed
a crime. And Huck Conner held

then some one remembered that his
