MRS. BEECKMAN
ON CORRECT
MANNERS
DEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

Some tlme ago I received a
wedding announcement two weeks
before the wedding. Was this
correct, or should the announce
ment be sent out the day Of the
wedding?
2. Is it proper for the bride to
give the groom a gift? II, so,
have you any suggestions to
offer?
8. In sitting in the rear seat
of car, on which side should the
girl sit?
READER.
Wedding announcements should
be sent out after the ceremony
has been performed, when there
Is something to announce. Usually
the announcements are all ready
and are mailed directly after the
ceremony, so that people living
In the same city receive them the
day following the wedding.
2. Yes. I have listed this kind
of present land also the appro-
pirate presents for the bride to
give her attendants and those
that the groom may appropri-
ately give to his attendants in
pamphlet form. Will you please
be so kind as to send me an ad-
dressed envelope so that / may
mail these to you?
3. 1.-The lady on the right Of the
gentleman" Is the best rule here.
Commenting on a New Frock
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il 1t polite when one meets a
friend to remark before everybody
about any new clothes one may
be wearing, such as: "Oh, see
the new dress!' or Somebody
has a new coat!'? I was taught
it was rude, and. to me, 1t is
very, embarrassing. g. M.
No, these forms of comment
aren't especially pleasant, but II
one knows the other person very
well 1t is quite natural to say,
II do like your new frock so
much" or what a very beautiful
new coat you have" This friendly
sort of comment from one we
know very we'll need not be en-
barrassing. You are delighted
that some one likes what you
wear. and you quite naturally land
simply say so: THANK you. /
am delighted to have you say So"
mr. 'tJ am so glad that Won like
it, Jane. l have such faith in
your taste, that 1t makes me
very proud that you like it,"

For the woman who has work
to do at home and who hasn't
maid. but who nevertheless
wishes to dress becomingly, this
attractive apron was designed.
1t slips on and off easily with.
out disturbing the arrangement
Of the hair dress.
It's light and shapely and at
the same time gives complete pro.
lection to the frock.
In case you wish to launder
1t yourself, you'll find 1t quite the
easiest ever.
You could cut several of these
out at the same time. They're
mighty handy to have around.
And If you are thinking of some
offerings to the' coming church
bazaars. aprons of this type in
colorful patterns would be most
acceptable.
Style 10. $3.50 comes in three
sizes, small, medium and large,
and the pattern also includes the
cap which by the way is one
piece. 1t fastens at center-back
and rolls becomingly around the
head.

fit exactly in the medium size.
It cuts in one piece with ex-
tensions on apron that cross at
back and button, which holds it
closely to the figure. and creates
a slight flared movement.
Think of It! Practically all you
have to do is to bind edges and
stitch pockets in place.
Pretty chintz, sprigged sateen,
polka-dotted cotton broadcloth,
checked dimity. striped percale,
pastel shades in cotton pongee,
geometric print in pique and plain
gingham are very smart sugges:

Learning Lessons

A man Is always learning, but learn
ing little pays, If he's forever spurning
the lessons life conveys. Experience is
teaching such truths as we should heed,
If we are bent on reaching an honored
place, with speed. It is not wise to
borrow from neighborS here and there:
such practice brings us sorrow and fills
our lives with care. For people who
are lending a clock, dinner horn, will
think we are offending, they'll look on
us with Scorn We soon will be acQuir-
ing very punk renown, and find that
We are firing the people of the town.
Far better It's to suffer for coffee, whole
or ground, than ask some other duffer
to lend us half pound. Far better
pine for mustard than borrow it next
door, and see neighbor flustered and
voting us bore. All people in their
their old offenSes they keep up, with
grin. Experience has told us that
honesty is best, and yet you may be-
hold us make honesty a jest The
countrys full of takers who have no
due respect for all the statute makers
who would their sins correct. The men
of crooked dealing small peace or COM
fort find, they evermore are feeling
that coppers trail behind. The money
they are getting dissolves like wreaths
Of snow; their lives are full of fretting
and WEAKNESS and woe. LIES truths
have been expounded until we know
them well: in them we have been
grounded by lessons stern and fell;
there's nothing can dislodge them, be-
fore our gaze they rise, and yet we try
to dodge them as though we thought
them lies. WALT MASON.

ing very little progress. Rough Brother
North Wind blew him off his course
In spite of all he could do, he could
not reach the Old Orchard. Yet he
must reach it. At least, that is what
he thought. You see, he didn't think
of any other shelter where he could
stay until the storm was over.
The snow grew thicker and thicker.
Presently, Spooky couldn't tell where
he was at all. All he could do was to
guess as to his direction and beat and
beat with his wings and hope that he
was heading for the Old Orchard.
Sometimes Rough Brother North Wind
would let up blowing for few minutes
and Spooky would gain little. Then
Rough Brother North Wind would howl
and roar and blow again, and poor
Spooky would be blown off his course.
At last it seemed to Spooky that he
couldn't fly another minute. "I'll Just
have to give up" he said to himself.
III just have to give up. I cannot
face this storm any longer. guess this
will be the end of poor little me-"
1t was just then that he saw some
thing big through the binding snow.
He couldn't make out what 1t was. but
there was some big object just ahead
of him. Perhaps he could find shelter
beat his way toward it. It was Farmer
Browns barn Yes, sir, ii was Farmer
Browns barn. Rough Brother North
Wind was bowling and twisting around
that barn and it was all Spooky could
Go to keep from being dashed against
1t. At the time he didn't recognize it
as Farmer Browns barn.
IN try to get around on the other
side. and perhaps I can find shelter
there" said Spooky to himself.
1t was at that very instant that one
wing brushed against something. He
discovered that it was little platform
and just back of it was hole. With
all his might he chung to that platform.
Rough Brother North Wind did his best
to blow him off, but Spooky chung.
When he could get his breath he man
aged to pull himself up and creep
through that little hole. Such a relief
as he experienced then He didn't know
where he was at first, but he didn't
care. You see, he was where Rough
Brother North Wind could no longer
reach him. He was out of the binding,
driving snow. 1t was comparatively
warm and comfortable in there. Spooky
was inside Farmer Browns barn. Once
Farmer Browns Boy had kept pigeons
there, and the hole by which Spooky
had entered was one of the entrances
which had been cut for the pigeons.

die of the afternoon. This is especially
true when food is scarce and it takes
q great deal of hunting i'll order to get
enough to eat. This is what Soopky
had done on the day when one of the
worst storms of the Winter started. He
had had no luck and he had flown
farther than usual in his search for a
stray mouse or an unwary small bird.
So he was some little distance from
home when the storm started. At first
he didn't mind the snow, but presently
he discovered that Rough Brother
North Wind was blowing so hard that
1t was difficult to fly and the snow was
rather binding. 1t was high time for
him to be back home. He started. He
had to fly right into the wind, and
presently he realized that he was max
