When Manners Are Correct By Cornelius Bssotma

I sustain too. Nowadays it Is
supposed to be most OgIt-of date

fact that bride and arooln walk
down the aisle together. the
other units Of the wedding party
walk as they did In the reces-

The maid or matron Of honor
walks alone, following the bride
and groom. Then following her

color, the ensemble idea, and
suitability to the occasion.
AS luggage is your first pass
port to chic, you will first con-
slider its color. II you have
to use it long and hard. and
already have an odd piece or
so, it's probably best to select
black. always smart and in the
lead numerically.
Brown is a close second, and
is particularly good If you wear
brown tweedS or travel clothes.
But the new colors such as
blue and green are stunning,
and II you see them you will
be sure to want them.
The stores are showing very
smart ensembles of over night
case, wardrobe hatbox and suit
case that match in leather and
color. The overnight case is
usually fitted with enamel, sill
yer or shell fittings. The
leather may be lizard, buff
falo or shark grain. Porcupine
Is very new, In q black and
white effect.
Suitability to the occasion
sounds like a boundless subject,
but is simple when you study
the luggage. Practically all
of it is designed to give the
most space and the best treat
ment of clothes, and to go
under Pullman seats.

The better pieces have covers
that snap on for greater pro
lection, while pieces that may
be attached to q car have
waterproof covers.
There are special pieces de-
signed for every purpose mag
inable-shoes, golf clubs, at
tache cases for papers, but
the most convenient are the
clever combinations that take
an amazingly small space.
There's o combination suit

Children
Like to Run
Away

i tempt to list here the causes
for juvenile truancy. The reason
for q child's habitually running
away from school undoubtedly
varies with each child who does
50. But If your child is unfortal-
nately classed in the "truant"
group, it Is YOUR first duty to
find out In . spirit Of kindly
understanding Just why he dis.
likes school enough to run away
from it. There may be physl'
cal reason behind It. Your child
may be tagging in his studies
and feeling inferior because Of 3
physical condition which pre-
vents him keeping up with
other children Of his age. Or
there may be O mal-adjustment
between child and teacher. Or
it may be that the child is UNI
happy ut home and has q deep
seated urge to flee from the rou-
tine Of school and begin work
ing so that he may the sooner
gain independence" Any one
Of these causes can be worked
out II you go at it in the right
mahner.
The decidedly wrong method
seems to be to be the turning
over Of the habitual truant to .
person perniciously styled .
"truant officer" The average
man holding this position is not
a student Of child or adult psy-
chology. is not especially diplc-
matte, is not the type Of hui
man being to inspire confidence
and q heart-tpa1eart talk with
the young offender. Quite to
the contrary, I suspect that
originally he wasn't expected 10
be that kind. He was an arm
Of the law intended to frighten
run-aways into going d0cilely
back 10 their desks. But We
have found that fright doesn't
work. It may for the moment,
but 1t does not attain the ends
to which It Is supposed TO be
working.
When you turn . person over
to d "truant officer" he Is Inn
mediately q "first-time" Law
breaker. He Is outside the pale
Of the law and is classed, even
though slightly, with criminals.
Do you think that Is going 10
inspire him toward social con-
duct In the future? I DON'T

PLEASANT MEMORIES

In sending in a renewal of her sub
ecription to the Spokesman, Mrs.
Felix Jones, who, with Mr.. Jones
lived here few months last summer
on their settlement tract near the
Shaun Kelley place writes as follows
from Los Angeles:
81 developed a severe cold before
leaving Yakima, and the trip down
being cold and disagreeable resulted
in my taking more cold which devel-
oped into the flu and have just had
an awful time of it. However, am
glad to say am better now and en-
joying this beautiful sunshine. The
nights have been very cold here for
the past week and the citrus growers
have been kept busy with their
srnudge pots.
1T seems good to be back here
again but I must say we both have a
warm spot in our hearts for Wash
ington, especially White Bluffs. The
friendliness of that little locality GER
tainly appealed to us ard we may
| come back some day, at least we hope
| to.
"My little dog is still alive and here

granted she was dead,
so sorry that you have such cold
weather. hope the worst is over.
/ Cheer up, for spring will soon be
here.
"Please remember me to the little
lady in the Columbia Grocery. liked
her very much. She was so friendly
/, and nice.

scription. Can't do without our little
paper we cure miss it when it does
not come. Good luck to White Bluffs
and may it's people always prosper,

GETTING WARMER

Old man Winter, apparently asham-
ed of the kind of a show he has been
putting on during the last of January
and the fore part of February, is show
ing signs of getting ready to pack up
and get out. Either that or he figured
he needed all Of his strength for the
exhibition he has been putting on over
in Europe.
Whatever the cause the thermo-
meters have had a chance to "catct
their wind" during the past week. To
be sure, we have not been getting real
spring weather but we don't wake up
in the night how and find ore ca,
or our nose frozen.
Chinook winds have been playing
around half heartedly and have melt
ed some of the snow, but the ground
still shows few white spots here and
there.
1t won't be long now, however, for
March is just around the corner and
the summer sun is bound to assert
himself before, very long. His patience
can not endure much longer.

END or USEFUL LIFE

A long and beautiful life came to a
close last week when Mrs. Nora
Ryan passed away at San Diego,
California, hospital after short ill
ness. Mrs. Ryan was the eldest SIS
ter of Mrs. r. r. Woods OF White
bluffs and during her visits here at
the latter's home, made many warm
friends who will regret to hear of her
death. Her end was very peaceful.
She fell into a deep slunber on Sun
day, February 10, from which it was
impossible to arouse her and although
she was given the best of care she
passed into the eternal sleep a few
days later.
Mrs. Ryan was remarkable wo-
man. Had she lived until the 22nd of
next March she would have been 80
years of age. She had for some time
been enjoying second sight and en-
ployed her spare time in embroidery
and fine needle work, several hand
some specimens of which she had sent
as gifts to Mrs Woods.
Besides Mrs Woods, Mrs. Ryan
left another sister, Mrs. c. A. Bald
win of Bellinghan, and son, Thorn
as Ryan, with whom she made her
home in San Diego.
