about the time spent there? If
so, what would be the correct
thing to say? B. E. B.
While is is not strictly neces-
sary to order something to eat
in restaurants of this kind, 1t Is
customary. The order may be
simple, but it would be less en-
barrassing if you order something
just to "nibble" on.
2. This depends. on her own
preference and convenience and
on the type of place it Is.
3. By saying, How do you do?"
This is the accepted form, and
nothing really takes its place. 1t
Is always correct.
4. 1t is the woman who makes
the first move to shake hands,
and the man should wait for this
offer. The woman may offer to
shake hands, but usually she
doesn't, especially in the average
introduction.
s. Usually they don't shake
hands unless the introduction is
special one; that is, if they have
long heard of each other, and il
the introducing friend is a spe-
cial friend of both, then they may
shake hands, but even then it is
not necessary.

THE VOODOO
VICTIM
BY Lucy Lowell

X7OODOO worship-oh, yes, you
Y say-they do it in Africa or
the South Sea Islands or some
where a long way off. Where
civilization hasn't reached and the
natives don't know any better
that's where they worship devils,
going through their weird, some
times horrible, rites.
A relic of the days when the
human race was young. this thing
of winning the good will of the
powers of evil by treating them
with the reverence worthy Of a
better cause. Folks believed that
the devil was always about ready
to make trouble and the best
method of preventing this was to
use him nicely.
VOodoo-a long way off from
where you stand.
Wells it? Aren't the tentacles
OF it wound in your habit some
where, making you quick to pro-
pitiate evil, to step out from
under trouble by acknowledging
the potency of bad luck?
Do you throw a grain Of spilled
salt over your left shoulder" Do
you fear to step back into the
house once you have left 1t? Do
you avoid looking at the new
moon through a window pane?
Have you ever gone out OF
your way to keep from letting a
black cat cross your path? Do
you sometimes refuse to begin
new enterprise on Friday? DO
you fear to start a journey on the
sixth day of the week?
Do you worry yourself into H.
ness when you break mirror?
Do you lie and shiver in horror
late at night when the hoot-ovl
cries in the nearby wood?
When you put your shoes on
mornings. are you careful that
that right goes on first? Have
you a lucky piece in your pocket?
If there is something you wish 10
do that you are especially eager to
see succeed do YOU wait for a
special day of the month to do It
on?
Voodoo. my friends all voodoo,
Sunerstition. you'll object - but
isn't that voodoo?
Superstition is the shadow fear
casts and--listen to this for it's
good-FEAR IS FAITH IN EVIL!
And voodoo. whether it's sacci-
ficing a goat in some South Sea
island or throwing a pinch of salt
over your shoulder-is the hocus-
pocus the human mind goes
through to make itself believe that
it can sneak up m the good side
OF evil. A manifest impossibilitv
since evil has no good side!

PUNCH FOR
PARTIES
BY Hannah Wing

CINCE tims immemorial it is
~ around the jovial punch-bowl
that the scene of festivity at a
party is concentrated. Particularly
at dancing parties-be it at the
imprOptu radio Gance of the pre-
agganged affair-a delicious thirst
quenching beverage must ever he
on hand to keep the active young
sters and their elders refreshed.
Holiday Punch

six oranges, the grated -rind of
three oranges and three lemons,
and the juice from two cans Of
sliced pineapple Add one quart
of tea and two cupsfuls of sugar
the latter having been added to
the tea and heated in it until COM
pletely dissolved. Then add enough
plain phosphatawater to make a
gallon. Just before serving add
four quarters ginger ale (stirring
we'll until it foams) ice cubes, and
a garnish OF banana slices.
Mint JuIip

March Winds AS
! Aid to Your
/, Beauty
BY Maria .JeritZa

| WHEN cold March winds
" howl and wall through
,freetops and chimneys, as
! they have a way of doing,
the temptation is to snuggle
closer to the fire, nibble a
chocolate cream and express
devOut thankfulness that it
Is not necessary to venture
! outside.
A. first thought, March winds,
carrying gales of dust, do not in
vite us outdoors But there are
two sides to every question. The
finest reducing exercise in the
world consists in battling with
might and main against a stiff
March wind, in the course of an
hours walk along an exposed
boulevard or parkway. II You
have to plow your way through
the final snowfall of the season,
or deep puddles caused by
March thaw, so much the better,
provided of course, you are ade-
quately dressed, with galoshes that
trinity protect your ankles,
warm yet lightweight overcoat
and snug cap.
The harder the walking is, the
greater the exercise for all yonr
muscles, and the deeper you will
have to breathe of invigorating,
cold fresh air, flooding your lungs
with oxygen, feeding your skin
and all the organs Of your body
with purified blood, sending a
glow of color to your lips and
TO your eyes. gladness to your
heart. am willing to wager that
after an hour of this wonderful,
all-around exercise. you will re-
turn home with the conviction
that this world is after all, a
beautiful place.
Try to chose a walk where dust
and SCOT are not flying about
But even CRIME will not hurt
you if you breathe 1t in with
closed lips. through your nostrils.
When the sun is not shining.
leave off makeup and let your
skin drink in fresh air during
your hike.
March sunshine is sufficiently
strong to both burn and freckle
sensitive skin. A thick coat Of
powder may he adequate protec-
tion against this possibility. II
not, the least bit Of cold cream.
we'll rubbed into your skin and
disguised with powder should
prove ample projection. Always
cold-cream your face Immediately
on coming in, when it has been
= exposed to wind and sunburn.2
When speak of cold cream in,
this connection, I do not refer TO
an astringent but a nourishing
cream.
An hours vigorous walk every
day in March, combined with
moderately reducing diet, should
DO much toward working off
euperfluous pounds: If you are
a bit fragile or unde~weight. half
an hours battle with the wind is
better. Then lie down a few
moments and take a nourishirS
tirink-a milk chocolate for in

OF the lightweight spring woolens.

PAPER DOES
NOT BURN

A paper that does not burn has
been discovered. The German in
ventor, Franz FTanck, gave
a demonstration recently. He took
a sheet of ordinary newspaper.
crumpled it into a ball, and
wrapped this highly combustible
object in a sheet, of his fireproof
paper. Thus protected, he held
it for few minutes in the flame
of a laboratory blast lamp hot
enough to melt a glass window
pane. Not only did the fireproof
wrapping survive, but the ord
