Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

ANuA 3tA4Ss ONCSALlhAs
Do you think it necessary
that q man help his wife with
her coat always or that a boy
help his fiancee with her
coat? Would you term it q
breach Of good manners If
this courtesy is overlooked at
timesP I know that q man
should help a lady on with her
coat, but sometimes this kind
ness is overlooked.
This has been a much argued
question. d.
A gentleman always helps q
lady with her wraps. This Is
Of course, true whether the
lady be his wife or his fiancee
or q casual friend. I cannot
be too emphatic about this, for
this gesture Of courtesy and
gallantry Is expected by any
lady and when it Is omitted
the lady knows instantly that
the man with whom she is
is not an accustomed gentle
man. And If she is O sensitive
minded person she will, Of
course, be sorry and embaH.
raised that her companion
lacks such fundamental man.
nerS. The girl or woman who
Is q casual friend of the man
would feel embarrassed and
chagrined enough, but q fiancee
or wife would feel even more
deeply hurt
And while we are on the sub
ject, please let me be even
more emphatic about this ex-
pected courtesy; there is never
an occasion when this service
should be omitted. For instance
and how few men realize
this-it is the worst form for
a man to allow a waiter, in q
restaurant, to assist the woman
with her wraps, either to take
off her coat when they take
their places at table or to help
her to put on her coat when
they are about to rise to 60.
A man who has any claims to
being a gentleman does not
take his seat at q restaurant
table until he has assisted the
lady or at least offered to
assist her chat is, asked her
If she wishes to take off her
coat with her coat. He shows
that he has no idea Of good
manners II he leaves this gal.

also have the rope shoulder.
This is an extremely popular
type in Washington, and as the
town Is rather conservative,
often has notched lapels which
are considered less daring than
peaked lapelS. This suit has
trim body lines and narrow
hips, again contributing to the
broad Shouldered effect.
Trousers are straight, usually
rather high at the waistline,
and almost everyone wears cuffs
on their trousers. Nineteen
inches is good average for the
bottom of the trousers, for size
thirty-Six.
Worsteds will lead for spring
suits, mostly in hard finishes, as
they keep their shape and pre-
serve a good appearance for q
long time. Herringbone effects,
large or small will be in favor,
and also small plaids. Tweeds
are coming in stronger than
they have been, and are shown
in some very good looking suits.
Tan Is expected to be the
leader among colors. Then gray
will be next. Of course navy
is a classic, and will appear
on many men, but will not
have the acceptance of tan
and gray. Subdued pastels
will have an exclusive appeal a
little later in the season. The
Pacific coast and other local.
ties where the season Is earlier
report that these pastels,
greens, lighter blues and browns,
are very we'll accepted, so that
we may expect them to be good
here when the weather permits.
Notice that both the suits
sketched are a little more
formal in line than the suits
of past seasons. They are
fitted a little closer, the sleeves
taper into a narrow cuff, and
the broad shoulders give a
formal effect. The fabrics,
hard-finished and smooth also
contribute to the formality of
the new suits.

SCIENCE SEEKS
To AID PEACE

PARIS, July 21.-The aims Of
science for increasing mans
knowledge were associated with
the world struggle for peace by
speakers at the opening of the
first International ARCHAEOLOGICAL
Congress at the Pasteur Institute
here today. Professor Bordet, di,
rector of the Pasteur Institute OF
Brussels, who presided, said:
"The congress has been called
partly for the purpose Of re-
uniting scientific workers Of all
nations, the contacts of whom
have been Interrupted and Sc
f.. riousIy retarded by the World
War. We hope thus to re-
awaken a sense OF profound
interest in the welfare of hu-
manity and to renew a con-
sciOusness of the imperiOus ne
cesSity of concerted defense
against the causes of destruc-
tiOn which threaten it and Of
the growing need for peoples to
adopt the supreme objective Of
their Own preservation and the
development Of the human
kind"

made was that of two British
scientists, DR.. Ledingham and DR.

The impulse to visit the great
scenic places Of this country is
disclosed in the report Of the Ma
tior1al Parks Service, showing that
increased from 1926 in 1917 to
3,24S, ,264 in 1929.
Reports reaching officials here
indicate that the summer Of 1880
will see a new high record estab-
lished in the national parks, with
millions Of others seeking vaca-
ton rests in privately controlled
resorts. :
Now 81 Parks
The National Park Service of!
the country has been expanded
until there are now 81 national
parks, and 90 so-called national
monuments, some of which may
be converted into national parks.
Three other parks are to be def
nitely listed among the Govern.
ment's show places within another
year or two.
Yosemite National Park in Calf
fornia. with its famous falls, is
easily the most frequented of the
parks. There were 461, ,257 visitors
to this park in 1929. Yosemite's.
nearest rival is Rocky Mountains
Park in Colorado, which attracted
274. .408 visitors. :.
These parks. according to off
cialS. attract the largest number
of visitors in part because Of
their accessibility. The famous.
Yellowstone area in Montana and
Wyoming consistently retains a
high ranking.
Visitors on Increase
During 1929. there were 26O, ,697
visitors to Yellowstone. During
the same year 217,7 sought out
snow-capped Mount Rainer in tina
State of Washington, while 204.-
40S visited Platt Park in south
ern Oklahoma, seeking the benefit
Of its mineral springs. .
Among the other parks rank
ing high in visitors are: Hot

Canyon, Arizona. 184,093; Crater
Lake Park in Oregon. 128, ABS:
Wind Cave Park, 108.943, and
Acadia Park, Maine. 149.554.
Increased use of private auto
mobiles for touring is shown to
be the chief factor in the en-
larged attendance. In 1924, 315,-
915 private cars entered national
parks while the number increased
to $50 1926 in 1929.
