When Manners Are Correct

words. A thank.you can be
said with an infinite number Of
infections and nuances, and
it is fun to see how many we
can use, when our friends show
us an infinite number Of.
thoughtfulnesses.
The fact, my dear friend, that
you have apparently so many
things done for you, that you
are invited to so many pleas
ures, indicate that you have
never gone back on your own
idea that thank-you's should be
said. A thank-you is like

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it necessary every time a
girl goes out with a young
man to tell him she enjoyed
the evening? 1t seems the
gracious and polite thing to do,
but when one has gone out
with a friend very often, per-
haps several times a week for
a year or more, 1t makes the
expression so stereotyped and so
stilted. But I realize the latter
would depend much on the
manner in which 1t is said, and
perhaps the former could be
overcome by expressing pleas
ure in a variety Of different
ways, as, for instance. Thank
you, Mr.. -. I had a pleas
ant evening"" or Il enjoyed
the show; thank you, Mr..
M" Are these correct, or
are there set rules?
READER.
Your own feeling about this,
which is charmingly and plainly
indicated in your question, is
the gracious one, the right one,
the correct one, the apprecia-
tive one. Don't lose it, for you
show so definitely that you are
fundamentally a grateful per
son-one who wishes to say her
thank-you when she should say
it. It makes no difference how
often or how many times peo-
pie are kind to us, we should
make our bow. in words, for
that kindness.
AS you intimate, too, in your
question, when we do not say
adequate or gracious thanks, it
shows sour own sparseness Of

The friction of the brush

close to the skin surface; they

The Vice of Givins "Advice"
Next to long gloves with a
backless evening gown, advice is
about the most useless and un-
comfortable thing in the world.
Everybody loves to GIVE ad-
vise-but nobody likes to listen
to it. And. nobody ever TAKES
it.
Most advice" is merely criti-
cisrn artistically camouflaged
with a pretense o. solicitude,
sympathy or love. Like cabbage
salad all dressed up in lettuce
leaves and mayonnaise and
served under a French name, it
disarrnS you. until you try to
swallow it. Then you recognize
the flavor.
Giving advice is one way of
insulting your best friend, and
telling him just what you think
of him and how little you re-
spect his intelligence, without
leaving him a chance for a
comeback.
Advice usually begins with.
well. you know what a fool
you made of yourself in that
last affair"
Or, How did you ever
THINK of doing such an idi-
otic thing!"
Or with, Don't be sill! He's
only telling you what he tells
'em ALL"
It always begins with a slam
at your vanity. your common
sense or your amour propre-
and ends with an "I-told-you-So!"
Your worst enemy is not the
cheerful prevaricator, who fills
you with applesauce, but the
ever-ready little adviser" who
is constantly filling you with a
fear complex or an inferiority
complex and cramping your
style and your ability to think
for yourself.
It's all right to tell man that
the road is bad or the bridge
ahead is weak: but it's useless to
advise him to turn back or take

FLYING
FOR RECORD

ROOSEVELT FIELD, L. L.,
May 81 1.N.SD Lieut.. Col.
Roscoe Turner, Nevada National
Guard flier, took off here at 5:03
o'clock today on a one-stop flight
to Los Angeles in an attempt to
set new trans-continental record.
Colonel Turner is flying a
Lockheed Air express cabin plane

the continent in a matter of Is
hours. The record is now held
by Colonel Lindbergh. He made
an unsuccessful attempt to break
the record on a recent flight from
the Pacific Coast.
Few See Take-Off
Only a scattering of spectators
witnessed the take-off. Turner
TAXED his plane from the hangar
to the runway. There it was
poised for a few minutes, and
then, with a laundering roar, it
sped along the runway for $500
feet. The plane was cracking
and splitting blue flames as it
gradually rose and headed into
the west winds.
Turner carried $50 gallons of
gasoline. The plane has a top
speed of 220 miles an hour and
a cruising speed Of 185 miles an
hour.
Wears Uniform
The purpose of the flight, the
airnen said, was to test the posi-
bility of coaSt-to-coast service. He
said there would be further
flights to investigate conditions
under varying weather and at
different attitudes.
Turner wore his uniform, that
of lieutenant colonel in the
Nevada National Guard - blue
jacket and gray breeches. He
donned a flying suit over the
uniform just before he took off.
He did not take any provisions
aboard, having eaten a hearty
breakfast.
