CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN'
/. Will you please tell me who
should be seated at the head Of
the bridal table? Some people
think the bride and groom, or
the parents of the bride, with
the bride on the right and the
groom on the left, and some say
If there are priests present, they
should be placed at the head,
2. Is it appropriate for the
whole bridal party to have
their photograph taken. or Is
it not being done?
8. Is it correct to have four
bridesmaids in the bridal party
without uSherS?
A READER.
If there is only one table,
the bride and groom sit to-
gether at one side of the table
and the brides mother, who is
the hostess Of the occasion sits
opposite. The bride sits on
the right Of the groom, whether
there is a special bridal table,
or whether the bridal party
and guests sit at one table.
On the right Of the brides
mother is the groom's father.
since he is the man guest of
honor. The priest or clergyman
or whoever performs the cere-
mony sits on the left side of
the brides mother. On the
right of the brides father is
the grcom's mother, the woman
guest Of honor.
2. This is as the bride wishes.
Sometimes, usually indeed. the
bride and groom have their
photograph taken together, and
then with the members of their
wedding party.
3. Yes, if the bride and groom
wish this. But a bridal party
of this size would indicate q
formal. rather large wedding,
and this kind Of wedding needs
ushers to seat the guests.

Very Costly

eyes" she said, "the hat be-
comes me. Is it very costly?"
"A hundred and fifty dollars.
The paradise feathers, they are
choice"
Raquel left the shop with
heavy feet and heavier heart.
She dared not risk it. A small
fortune for a hat. Her roll OF
bills would be getting thin.
They must last until Farrell
came to New York. She did
not leave the hotel again that
day. OF what use was tad
venture in ugly clothes? She
was morose and unhappy.
Another morning came. With
it RaquelS feet led her uner.
ringly to the window of Chez
Alphonse. The hat was still
there. It's white feather fronds
beckoned her. She must try it
on once more. Just try it, that
once.
Inside the shop the tawny
SaleSWoman was nowhere IN
sight. A middle-aged acidulouS
woman with pursed lips shifted
at Raquers request to see the
hat, "the black one with the
white feathers" Instantly Ra
quel knew this acid woman had
been the other one behind the
screen the day before. With
deliberation Raquel opened her
cheap little purse, purchased
from a sidewalk collection on
Sixth Avenue. The roll of bills
protruded from its yawning
top. The acid woman stared.
at once became alert.
"It'S your hat. mademoiSelle,"
she gushed in syrupy way. $50
chic! Genteel! Charming!"
But the price" Raquel
fought back her rising want.
IF you could let me have it for
less, even a hundred dollars"
The woman pushed the Sug-
gestion away.
NO" she said. I'VE could
not. It is already a bargain.
Monsieur Alphonse would never
consent"

Wallace was brought out.
We'll, we'll" greeted Butch,
with profound irony. Here's
the old kid himself"
'What're you crazy hopheads
going to do?" asked Wallace in
a voice which still retained
some of the hard tone of COM

Butch and his men turned
back. A half dozen guards,
armed with clubs, ran into the
courtyard, but they were over
whelmingly stampeded back to-
ward the cellhouse with the
convictS.
Wallace, nudging Morgan in
the ribs with his gun, had left
the warden's office. Pop Riker,
armed with a bludgeon, fol-
lowed. The three gained the
prison yard just as the conVicts
swept into it. They were caught
in the crowd, flying before the
machine guns that spat and
spattered, and carried into the
cellhouse.
AS they milled into the cor

CHAPTER 13

NE1AE GtL ID
Raquel awoke the following
morning feeling as If she had
been in a dream. Something
unusual had happened. Some
thing fearsome, stimulating.
Where had she been?
To a night-club. Memory
came back to her. To a play.
Then to night-club.
"Pudgy old Mr.. Benny
Barnes" she said aloud, and
laughed. And that blonde
woman! She wasn't so beautl-
full, now you come to think of
her in the daylight"
She tried to visualize Benny.
He eluded her. She forced her
mind to the task. No. He was
gone, Only a smudge of him
remained. And a Gravity feel
ing on her flesh where his hand
had slid up her arm.
She sat up in bed. Across
the room, in the mirror atop her
bureau, another Raquel with
curving scarlet lips and gleeful
eyes was watching her.
We're going to get up," she
told this other Raquel. "go over
to Fifth Avenue, our street, and
buy dress. A dove gray one
like that rich girl wore in the
play"

The Hat

"I should like to see the hat
In the window. ples e." Raquel
told the tawny young woman
who undulated toward her as
she tered the shop. The
tawny one elevated penciled
eyebrows.
THE Patou with the para
disc? That is an import. Quite
expensive" The tail of her
amber eyes travelled down
Raquels worn green dress. so
obviously homemade. Settled
on her Scuffed black kid shoes.

hats" she added grudgingly,
Il wish to see the hat in the
window" said Raquel. Her ar
rogance Singed the edges of the
tawny ones ennul. Who was
this saleswoman to judge of her
purse?
There's a bold one" she
heard the saleswoman telling
someone behind a screen near
the window, She wants the
Patou model, no less. Did you
get the trick clothes? And no
hat! How they find their way
up on the Avnoo from the East
Side is beyond me-"
The comment was made loud
enough so that it would reach
her. OF this Raquel was GER

her half-parted lips. She dis
posed herself in leisurely fash
ion before a beveled mirror
wreathed in cupids and chrome
flowers.
The SaleSwoman brought the
hat. Placed it on Raquers head.
She would not trust it to this

stepped back, her amber eyes
wide, unbelieving. Cinderella

The Order

into the cellhouse!" shrieked
Butch. Driving the guards be-
fore them, the convicts crushed
and crowded through. Just as
the great steel doors Changed
shut the machine guns went
into high. An enfilade swept
along the side of the prison
opposite the Warden'S office.
where the guns had been hur.
riedly mounted. There was 8
crashing of glass. Solid cor
ners of concrete flew into dust,
steel struck steel and bullets
ricochetted in the cellhouSe.
Cries of pain screamed from
the wounded and dying.
Chuck the screws in the
hole!" commanded Butch, who
was chasing about here and
there, posting his armed men
at the windows, grated with
bars and crossbars welded into
cement.
Olesen, a gun in each hand,
backed Wallace and the guards
to the dungeon door and forced
them inside. He stood sentry
outside, without closing the
door.
There was pandemonium in
the dollhouse. Those who had
run in at the first alarm and
who had acted no part in the
riot, now were under fire.
They dived beneath hunks and
huddled in corners. Butch'S
voice could be heard every
where.
Every man with a gat get to
the windows! Those who don
want to fight get the hell out
Of the way. Well show them
tough cellhands what tough
means"
The Washington times., 1930-05-28
Purely Material

The luxury of a bath, warm
tapering to cold. The satisfy
ing feel of the pretty under
things she had bought in the
small shop near the hotel.
\ They were only a shade pinker
than her flesh.
Adios, old rag of a dress!
Now the hat. Where had she
put the hat? She had-why,
she no longer had a hat. Left
II on the table in the Club
Divine. when she ran away
from Benny. She'd have to go
without a hat until she could
buy another. Lots Of people
in New York went without
hats. It was a fad.
Along the cross-street in the
morning sunshine. Sunshiny
world.
Raquel turned the corner into
the avenue. Halfway along the
block she halted suddenly. A
hat-shop was at her right. The
Chez Alphonse. In the very
center of the shop-window,
etched against silvery, gray
panel, was the most wonderful
hat she had ever seen. Raquel
drew closer.
The hat was made of black
velvet, crushed close to the
crown. But the black velvet
was the least of it. The won
der of this hat was the delicate
white feather fronds that
dropped from its side like
languid morning mist caught
on the wing Of the night.
Beautiful hat. Made to adorn
Beauty. Raquel had tasted of
Adventure. Her flight from
Hermosa. The driver who
whisked her throul h the park
the night she arrived in New
York. The blonde woman in
the theater. The Club Divine.
Adventure promised well-if
it could claim Beauty as its
handmaiden. Without Beauty,
adventure was just things that
happen. Like the hat in the
window. 1t would be just a
plain HIT we're it not for the
witchery of white feathers. If
she could b We Adventure and
Beauty both!

and that his life was in danger

shouted Butch above the roar.

they have to cash in anyway"
Morgan threw himself flat on
the floor. He was directly
above Butch. The latter's
next words made his blood
curdle.

A Cessation

Butch was getting things or
ganized. The terrific fire Of
the machine guns continued to
sweep across the prison, and
bit by bit the glass of the
barred windows was shattered
and the walls opposite the win
doWs were indented with the
deadly slugS. Morgan was
caught between two windows
on a tier just above Butch
and his lieutenents.
There was a momentary let
up in the fighting. Morgan
could hear Butch cursing.
We've been hi-iacked-itS
that Morgan-the son-of-a-!"
