Jack how a certain girl was

engagement ring, accept some of

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
MY troubles are introductions.
II 1 am talking with a gentleman
and my aunt with whom / live)
joins me, how should ! perform
the introduction?
2. What should / say if the
gentleman does not know my
aunt's relationship to me?
3. If am in the office with
my aunt and her employer comes
inflow should she perform the
introduction?
4. An illness which has ex-
tended over some period of time
and will probably continue to do
so keeps me in bed most Of the
time. Therefore a visitor coming
to the house, il he or she is to
know me, must be introduced via
bed, so to speak. Should the
introduction be mfr. Jones, this
Is Eunice" or "Eunice, this is
Mr.. Jones'?
S. How does a gentleman intro.

Allen, this is my aunt, Mrs.
Jameson"
2. You may indicate the rela-
tionship as / have suggested in

of romance such as prevailed under
Spanish and Mexican rule. before
the "Gringo" placed his harc-sur-
faced brand of civilization on Cali
fornia, will NJ revived here for four
days, Aug. 1913.
And today ancient Monterey re-
ssmbled in almost all particulars a
sleepy village under a cloudless sky
where Latins q long time ago lis
tened to the twang of a guitar, the
click of castanets and the lit OF
Spanish of songs from roSebowered
galleries.
The occasion is called the Sierra
Pilgrimage of Fiesta.
Actually It is a tribute to the
Spanish and Mexica culture and
civilization which enriches Cali
fornia history and which were es-
tablished long before a gold rush
turned the settlement of Yerba
Buena into a throbbing gold camp,
later known as San Francisco.
Monterey goes back to the path
Of time to 1912 when Juan Rodri-
ouez Cabrillo entered the Bay of
Monterey with his two ships of ex-
pIoration. Later came other bold
sailors and pirates but it was not
until ITO that a regular settlement
was made by the Spanish Fathers
and Monterrey, in that year, became
CALIFORNIA; first capital.
The romantic background, and
representation by the entire COM
munity of the Spanish Dons and
Senoritas makes the celebration
one of the outstanding ones held
annually in California.

his friends, the Grows.
The torture at the hands of the
outlaws proved too much and he
died. But before death came he
gave to the Crows a packet, asking
it be delivered to his brother in
Wisconsin.
A young brave, Paskose, started
the long trek to the eastern state
in search of the brother. For years
he roamed through Michigan and
Wisconsin, his search unavailing.
An old man, Paskose came to Me-
nominee, and just before he was
called to the happy hunting
grounds" of his people he gave the
packet to Dave Kakutosh, a timber
cruiser.
Kakutosh paid little attention to
the precious packet. A few times
he glanced at it, but he read little
English and did not take the trouble
to have the words translated.
Kakutosh showed the packet to a
friend. The secret of the two Eng
lishmen's treasure became known
to the world again.
KakutoSh sent an expedition to
search for the gold nuggets. 1t
failed, and his disappointment has

On his deathbed, the timber
cruiser gave the packet to young
