His dream! That's the trouble.

not. They'd have advised him to

BUT, there probably isn't grown

Voltaire's father decided that
the young man was going to be a

Youth is going to live, and live

When Manners Are Correct
BY Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

door of the serving room or by
the chattering serving table the
host should quietly. but firmly,
ask the head waiter to assign
him another table unless the
room is so crowded that
obviously no change is possible.
In a restaurant where there is
no head waiter the host should
lead the way into the dining
room, deciding on the best seats
that are available. The right table
found, the head waiter stands
with his hand on the chair which
he pulls out for the lady. Be-
fore he takes his seat the gentle
man steps to her chair and asks
her il he can help her to take
her coat off. The girl puts her
gloves and handbag in her lap or
on an empty chair at the table;
she should never put them on
the table.
Then comes the consultation
over the menu card. The host
politely waits until his guest de-
cides what she would enjoy. She
orders what she would really like.
The accustomed, tactful girl will
be careful not to choose the least
expensive dishes on the menu,
for fear of wounding her hosts
self-esteem, or the expensive out
of-season" dishes, for fear of
overtaxing his pocketbook. Also
she should not assume the
"clinging vine" point of view and
say weakly and Unfortunately:
Il don't know what l want.
Won't you order for me?" This
will indicate to her host
perhaps charming dependence,
but will reveal the fact that she
is not accustomed" The lady
tells her order to the gentlemen,
who is her host, and he, not
she, gives the order to the
waiter. This is a courtesy that
every girl should remember.
After the dessert has been re.
moved the black coffee is served,
and after that the finger bowls.
Use these ''prettily and daintily,
and then do not fold the napkin,
place 1t, "as is" to the left of
the plate.

husband and their five-year-old

I gather from the letter that Of

Thank you for your letter.
Marie. I have printed it for three
reasons: First, TO illustrate the fact
that there are exceptions to all
rules; second, because it is in.
spring to love-lorn girls to read
now and then about successful.
triumphant love. pointing to the
fact that what one has accom-
plished others can IL they will
"carry on" courageously; third.
because in my opinion, Marie's
letter reveals a trait of disposition
and character on the part of her
self and her family which is the
secret of the success and happi-
ness of their marriage; they are
grateful for their love and rejoice
in 1t.
Many wife who has gone
through less Of hard luck and
misfortune than Marie. writes me
bewailing the fate and pityinS
herself with all her heart. But
Marie and, her husband. when
threatened with illness and pow
erty, considered themselves lucky
to have each other and love.
They differ on the important
question of religion. but they are
grateful and happy in their love,
and they do not "spat and quar-
REL"
l would not advise the average
girl to marry a man 20 years her
senior. OF a different religion and
nationality. But there are ex-
ceptions to all rules. The great
thing is to find love that is deep,
congenial, wise, unselfish and
trusting. Undoubtedly. in such
case. where two individuals of
lovely disposition and with capac-
ity for whole-souled. unselfish af-
fectiOn, meet and love each other,
neither age nor illness nor want
can kill their mutual Joy. For
theirs is real love. the love thai
always finds a way"

Man In Pulpit

CAMERON, Texas, Apri l22.-tR
Heresy charges on which the Gen.
trail Texas Presbytery expelled the
Rev. H. B. Kenney from the pas
torate of the Cameron Presbyterian
church will be detailed to the ous-
ted minister's congregation late to-
day.
The deliberations which ended in
decision to discharge the pastor rec
commended for his post by John w.
Davis. former democratic presiden-
tial nominee, were secret. DR.. w. S.
Red Of Austin, who occupied the
pulpit here yesterday. announced a
commission from the Presbytery
would explain its action to the
church.
The Rev. DR.. Red was unable to
obtain volunteers from the congre-
cation for choir and organ service
yesterday after the regular must
clans failed to appear. After an
nouncing Mr. Kenney had been re-
lieved of his assignment and would
be disqualified from any similar one
in the central Texas district, DR..
Red preached a sermon around the
text:
Il, therefore, the prisoner of the
Lord. beseech you that We walk
worthy of the vocation wherein ye
are called"
The Rev. Kenney made no state
ment beyond the announcement he
would not resume his post here. This
was believed to have been an indi-
cation he would not appeal the or
der discharging him. The cleric
came here about four years ago
from West Virginia.
