Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
/. Seven women and myself
meet every two weeks at our
own homes and play bridge,
after simple luncheon is
served. Will it be proper when
| am hostess to announce that
l am going on a trip, to be
away about four months?
2. Would you suggest that I
have a separate farewell party,
at the same time inviting sew
eral other friends, or are these
farewell parties given by rela-
tives or friends?
3. I expect to go East and
will probably be entertained at
many bridge iuncheons. Would
it be correct to return" these
affairs by giving one big lunch
con and bridge at fashionable
hotel or club, and inviting all
my friends who entertained me
during my visit in that city?
4. Is it necessary for me to
take gifts from here to my
friends in the East? l have
been very friendly with some OF
these women 1 expect to see but
have never exchanged gifts and
don't want to start now. D. S.
Yes, this will be a correct
thing to do.

form and taste. give farewell

sary for these parties to be
given by friends or relatives.
You may have, at your party,
only the club Of which you
speak, or you may, for this oc-
casion. invite larger group.

Of hospitality and is very often

gesture of friendlineSs to make.

Tom s Job

Upon Tom had fallen the
task Of closing The shop and
selling the stock which still re-
mained.
The small store was haunted
with memories for him. Mem
ories of quiet evenings when he
had called on Ardeth, remem-
bering the sunlight on her hair
that first day when she had
bought the shop from jeanette.
The memory Of that first day
when he had come in here with
Ken and had seen her, a vivid
and lovely child in black.
AS though someone had died
working here in this still place
which would never know Ar
Geth again. What would life do
to her, he wondered, now that
she had 50 careleSSly defied it?
Sombera days when he dis
mantled the place, quietly
helped by little All Ling.
Had Tom been less concerned
with his own Unhappy thoughts
he would have seen that the
little Chinese girl was fighting
q mental battle.
But not until the last day,
when Tom was checking over
the last of the accounts, was
All Ling'S battle loSt-or won.
On that day the spiteful ar
ticle in The Spy appeared and
the Chinese girl had learned of
it by the curious wireless by
which scandal travels.
Tom was sitting at the cash
desk, figuring. when he heard
his name called. All Ling stood
before him, a small figurine Of
jade in her green brocaded
trousers and coat, and she was
laboring under intense excite
ment. She shook a copy of The
Spy at Tom.
Have you seen this? What
they dare to write about Miss
Carrol?"

Down in the city the affair
created a large ripple of excited
gossip. The Spy seized upon it
eagerly and carried an insinuat,
ing article bristling with IN
nuendoS.
Cecile was furious with anger.
She did not love Ken but she
had no intention that another
woman shoul1 have him. She
put on the role of the outraged
wife and spite Sharpened ner

friends. If you. give the re
turn-for- hospitality" party this
will suggest your well-placed
friendlinesS. Then, II you wish
to make even more Of a social
gesture. it is an excellent plan
to leave orders with the local
florist for him to send a box OF
flowers, or a corSage, TO the
friends in the city in which
you are visiting.
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
For home wedding where
only friends and the families
of the bride and groom are to
be present, should a personal
letter of invitation be sent to
every guest. or is it better
form to ask the guests by
word of mouth?
If a letter should be sent,
does the intended bride or heI
mother write it?
READER.
For a small, informal home
wedding the bride may ask the
guests verbally or she may
write them notes Of invitation.
Either is correct. Or she may
do both. That is, she may her
self go to see her closest rela
tives and friends and ask them
and write letters to those not
so close. Personally I am very
much in favor of the writing of
notes. I think that these notes
can be made such gracious mes
sengers of her friendlineSS and
they can make every guest feel
that he or She is very special
part Of the audience. Then.
too, it seems TO me safer, for
when the note is there TO refer
to no mistake can be made as
to date, hour, and so forth.
The brides mother or the
bride herself may write the
notes-either is correct. But

OUR RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY AIine Michaelis.

YOUTH
What loveliness all youth de-
mandS!
It must be clad
In silken skin, with shining hair,
Eyes bright and glad.
1t must have laughter ripping up
From joys deep wells,
And, ever Ginning far within,
Hopes silver bells.
Youth is a monarch whose bright
reign,
Is all too brief;
No shadows on that realm In
trude,
No care or grief.
And more than pricely are the
gifts
Which it confers,
For where it touches any life
Glad memory StirS.
And brings that life's own youth
once more
In gay review;
AS youth swings back times
thrice-barred door,
The past slips through.

CHAPTER SIE


Morgan was working aSSidu-
ously over his task in the jute
mill. wondering how his friend
Butch was taking it down in the
hellish dungeon, and wondering
il his attorney had gotten the
letter he had written him, when
q guard fingered him on the
shoulder. He jumped as though
he had been surprised in some
forbidden act.
Your mouthpiece to see you,
Morgan"
Morgan raised his eyes heaV-
onward in relief and followed.
They entered a small room di-
Vided in the middle by a three
foot wall. One side was for the
prisoners, the other for the viSi-
tors. Running up from the wall
to the ceiling was a fine-meshed
Steel-wire netting, and on a
raised platform sat two guards
who could see every move of the
prisoners and their callers. Be.
yond the metal net, Morgan saw
his attorney. Michael Moran
Dunn. a ruddy-faced fellow who
wore a continual smile and ap-
peared always in the airieSt OF
spirits.

A Serious Pose

Toms face was very serious.
He got up and walked over to
the girl to stand looking down
in the small. intense face.
You mean, All Ling. that
that you want me TO believe
that Mrs. Gleason has been
paying indiscreet visits to Mr..
Underhill's apartment?" Toms
conventional tongue found diff
ficulty in finding fitting words.
All Ling looked frightened.
but she stuck stoutly by her
guns. Her face was poppy red.
Would you call a visit of-of
several days when she is sup
posed to be down South-indis
Greet, Mr.. COrbett?"
My goSh!" breathed
Tom, ferVently. Then, with
mounting anger: And the
dirty little cat had the indie
cency to speak that way Of Ar
deth"-
That's why I tell you!" All
Ling'S voice broke and her face
was working. She has always
been so good to me, Miss Car
roll has. So gentle. And they
they tear her to pieces now!"
Bully for you!" Tom ex-
ploded.
II do not like to make trou,
Bile. All Ling explained earn
estly. My Cousin Lee will be
very angry that / have-have
spilled the beans. But there
are times when one must spill
the beans. Isn't that right,
Mr.. Corbett?"
Right as rainI"
And" the girl went on
breathleSsly, Mrs. Gleason is
bad at heart and Miss Carroll is
always kind. 1t is not good that
the good should suffer for the
bad. And I am telling this to
you because you will know what
to do. I will stick to it, Mr..
Corbett. And If you make him,
my Cousin Lee, he will have to
tell the truth even though he
will be very angry at me. But
I'm doing it for Miss Carroll.
I don't care, If it will help
her"

The careful home-maker will
suit her menus to her family's
needs-providing light or heavy
menus, according to the occu'
patton and amount of outdoor
exercise of the members Of her

for the mother to plan her
menus so as TO include the
maximum requirement.
Breakfast is a neglected meal
in many homes. Especially nee

All Ling had begun to cry.
She pulled her beret hard down
on her head and groped her way
out of the front door.
Tom was overwhelmed by the
know edge SO aStoniShingly
handed to him. His first feel
ing was blind rage at Cecile and
Cyril Underhill. In his fancy
he was crashing his fist full
into the Sneering face OF the
man.
But his usual cool judgment
quickly followed on the heels of
this. Wouldn't do, just tor raise

the daily papers. That
wouldn't be so clever. All Ling
had placed a powerful weapon
in his hands. He must use 1t
