DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you kindly tell me IL 1t Is
proper for young man to ask
for a young ladys mother when
visiting her home? What should
he say?
2. Also, should he ask perlnts-
sion of the young lady's parents
to take her out? Should he ask
the mother or the father?

toned, it is refreshing to have q
sensitive intuition like yours come
into the world like datfodil in
spring.
Yes, indeed, it is proper and
courteous and respectful for
young man to ask for a young
lady's mother when he is calling.
If a maid opens the door, he puts
his card on the tray that she
holds and asks to see the ladies,
meaning the mother as we'll al

lady herself opens the door, she
and the caller talk few minutes
together. and then he makes some
"inClusive" remark about her
mother. The young lady senses
then that he IL being mannerly
in a situation that for him IL q
bit more difficult than the con-
ventional handing of the visiting
card to the servant. She should
tactfully assist him by saying,
Mother Is in and will be de-
lighted to see you. I'll tell her
that you are here"
Then mother comes in, talks
while and creates thereby home
background for her daughter.
Everybody is then put at ease
and is given pleasant sense
of having done the harmonious
thing. The young man usually
needn't be alarmed - as most
mothers won't stay long!

EXTEND PENSION
SYSTEM TO AID
BRITISH WIDOWS
Labor Government Hurdles
First Obstacle in
Home Field.

n | NttfN fFfoE
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Labor
government Of Prime Minister Ram
say Macdonald, flushed with pre-
liminary triumphs in foreign affairs,
has ,hurdled the first obstacle on the
home political field.
Facing disquietude because OF UNI
solved domestic problems, the gov
eminent Wednesday extended the
pension system to include more than
half million additional windows.
It is believed that this measure,
which merely is an extention of the
1925 act passed by the Conservative
government, will make a country
wide appeal and tend TO minimize
come of the recent bitter criticism
Of the governments inertia in solv-
ing home problems.
The announcement appears to
have been timed with purpose. It
probably will alleviate increasing
discussion of the vital problem Of
unemployment, which still is to ,be
solved, diverting comment to other
issues for the present. This would
give the government time to tackle
the unemployment question, with
out being subjected constantly to
pickering and public criticism.
Some circles assert that the series
Of triumphs which Laborites have
scored in foreign fields is beginning
TO fade as stimulus to the public
imagination but it is considered
likely that the pension measure will
rekindle the fires of enthusiasm
which already have swung many
voters towards the Macdonald lead
srship.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. IT,
Recent charges that the D. A. R.
was used as a means of distributing
the propaganda of William B,
Shearer, big navy advocate, have
been denied by Mrs. Lowell Fletcher
Hobart of Cincinnati, president
general Of the national organization.
Addressing the Massachusetts,
chapter of the D. A. R. at its an
nual fall meeting Wednesday, Mrs.
Hobart declared: I'VE never had
him speak for us and never used
any of his articles"
She denied forcefully that the ma
tional society had ever done any,
thing to thwart the plans of Presi-
dent Hoover for peace or for any
other reason.
Mrs. Hobart admitted, however,
that she had met Shearer, and
thought that his ideas for defense
were fine" She repudiated him
of having any connection with the
organization whatsoever.
''The D. A. r. was the first society
to indorse the Kellogg peace pact,
she said. 1--WE stand back of the
policies and the platform of Presi-
dent Hoover and we offered him
Continental hall for the peace pro-
gram meetings. Every loyal mem
