any Extra. Extra" but'1ust palaces
and castles. and sunsets, and gypsy
music. and grapes ripening on the

pulling strange gay colored carts,
and people singing in the vines-oh.
very different from New York-very
different. indeed.
And before she knew what was
happening the girl was dead In love
with her boss. and now she's written
TO me and told me all about It.
She says she knows it's foolish
and wrong. but this. she is con-
WINGED. Is the love OF her life. And
she thinks she ought 10 be willing
TO give up her mother-even II he

hNHE bride Of a month complained

dad used 10 do quite naturally
Some OF the modern young hus-
bands don't take naturally 10 house
work. In fact. they rebel openly
when they are welcomed home az
night with a list OF odd Jobs 70 be
done around the house. And the
sweet little wife can't understand
why he doesn't share her enthusiasm
about the unacceptable tasks OF the
home.
Husbands cat be divided into two
groups. There's the type that like
puttering. even in the home. They
may be skillful, but IL doesn't follow
that they are because they do the
work willingly. Indeed. the taste
for home chores may be an amazing
self-discovery after matrimony. A
man who lived IN his mothers house
as though IL were a hotel-never
offering or being asked TO do 4
hands turn, may find. when he has
his W home. that he's domestic
in a highly practical way-likeS put

Be less than expert. yet find "A Gu
rious pleasure In these exertions.
On the other hand. there are men
OF charm and fine husbandly quail
tiles. who just can't and won't be
helpful around the place. They have
a dislike OF an awkwardness or A
theory. Anyway. they won't do a
thing. and It's "A waste OF time trying
to initiate a reformation.

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: In dining in a hotel or
restaurant, how is d table secured?
Answer: More satisfactory SER
vice is obtained if the man or Wo-
man entertaining in 1otC! or les
taurant reserves the table IN cd
vance. If this is not done. ttc host
enters the dining room first and
tells the headwaiter the number in
his party and the type cs table de
sired. If the head waiter IS not n
the entrance the host and his party
wait until he arrives.
When the head waiter leads the
way to the table the hos goes .irst,
in order to seat his guests. The
women Of the party come next and
the men last. If the party IS for
women, the hostess goes first. the
guest of honor or the older women
second. If a man and WomGu arc
dining together, the man steps back
and allows the woman 10 prccede
him.
