What to Do When
Dates Disagree

Some people are always distracted
and distressed over numerous engage
ments. Others take a full engagement
pad as matter of course and are not
the least ruffled thereby.
II don't know what I am going to
do" says Mrs. Smith, late Friday after
noon. IT have accepted a date for
dinner with the Joneses tonight and
the Browns have asked US there Ger
dinner and now here comes Jane
Robinson, my husbands cousin, un-
expectedly to spend Saturday and Sun
day with us. don't know which way
to turn"
Under the circumstances there is
only one way to turn. The only thing
for Mrs. Smith to do is to proceed to
the Joneses' for dinner, previously hav-
ing explained TO Mrs. Brown that
owing to a previous engagement she
is unable to accept Mrs. Browns kind
invitation, and also having previously
explained to Jane Robinson that the
engagement already exists with the
Joneses.
Cousin Jane must be made to feel
planned for her at home and if pos
sible some old friend invited in to
have it with her. But it would be
absurd to telephone to Mrs. Jones at
the last minute trying to put
off their dinner engagement in favor Of
the Browns and then to telephone
to Mrs. Brown to ask If Cousin Jane
might be included.
You will find your social career
much more easily conducted II you
always look upon the first engagement

illness or some serious obstacle in the
way Of meeting your appointment you
should never fail to be present nc a
dinner or other similar entertainment
when you have accepted the invitation.
Never be influenced by your own pref
erence or the Importance Of the person
who invites you. There Is something
sacred In an invitation of friend
that should never be overlooked. :,

1t seems to me that in many Amert-
can communities a collection Of old
gold and silver, II not actual jewelry,
might prove successful. Most people
have an old silver napkin ring or two
knocking about q buffet drawer, or an
odd piece of table silver that does not
fill any immediate need. In jewel boxes
or even button boxes most of us could
find an odd silver or gold cuff link or q
broken brooch or even an unset stone
or two. And some people have pieces
Of antique jewelry for which they them
selves have no admiration which they
would be willing enough to give to some
fayorite charity II they we're assured
that the committee would receive
good price from a collector for it.

IF it is important to suit your own
clothes to your type and personality,
then it is doubly important to con-
4 slider individuality and personality
In choosing dresses, coats, hats and
accessories for your young daughter.
To some extent you may adapt your
self to the requirements of your clothes.
II you yearn to wear very feminine
clothes but realize that they are not
precisely appropriate as you are, it is
not a difficult thing to wave or curl
YOUR hair or to soften the contours Of
your face by the use Of just the right
sort of makeup so that these frillier,
daintier things are becoming.
But such artistry is usually impos-

naturally straight usually looks much
better with hair left straight. Her
mother wisely seeks type of dressing

any more fower-like or any less high
spirited than they are by nature. And
the sensible mother studies her daugh-
ter's type very carefully and from the
result of this study learns what sort
of frocks and wraps and hats are most
appropriate to the type as 1t is, not as
she would like to have it.

Dear Annie Laurie:
We would be very much obliged il
you will please answer the follow
ing questions for us.
/. What would be the proper an
swer for a girl to give after a boy
friend thanks her for a dancer
2. When attending a movie should
the boy friend put his arm around
the girl? If not how can one ex-
plain without hurting his feelings?
BROWN EYES AND
BLUE EYES.
Brown Eyes and Blue Eyes:
After the young nan has thanked
you for the dance you say something
to indicate that the pleasure has
been mutual. Something like this.
for instance: Il enjoyed the dance,
too. Bob" or Its such fun dancing
with you"
2. Most emphatically "no," to this
question, my dears. Public demon
STATIONS of affection are in unpar-
donable taste. If the young man
forgets himself the tactful way to
reproach him would be TO tell him.
