Of her life!
All the better If his private life is Of

sometimes the ardent young person never
knows; and some time getting to know. is
too old for it to break any rainbow bub-

Boys and girls grow and strive by the
story of a great persOn-and there's one
person who thinks it natural, and good for
them to set up a Beau-Ideal.

When Manners
Are Correct
BY Mrs. C. Beeckman

10y N1A SS SS DG%NMAACAA
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. I am going to be married
in a couple Of months. My
fiance's name is John j. Bur-
nett and his mother, widow,
goes by the name Of Mrs. John
j. Burnett. After we are mar
ried, I will be Mrs. John J.
Barnett, jr., will I not?
2. My mother passed away a
number of years ago and about
a year ago my father married
again. How will the wedding
invitations be worded? I. K.
/. Yes. = ....,
2. This depends on the degree
Of your friendship with your
fathers new wife, and the gen.
eral situation. The very best
form, if "all is well," is for
your father and his new wife to
sponsor the invitation and the
announcement, if there is to be
any. The form-the best form
lis this:
Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Robin
son request the honor of your
presence at the marriage of
their daughter
Leonora to
Mr.. Thomas Gray
etc.
If this form does not appeal
to you, the next best form is:
Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Robinson
request the honor Of your
presence
at the marriage of Mr.. Robin
sons daughter
Leonore
(But this form is not nearly
so correct as the first form, if
your feeling permits the first
form. You do not indicate In
your letter.)

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
JACK HOLT THRILLS IN "EIFTY FATHOMS DEEP" NOW
 AT WARNER BROS' STATE.

Fifty Fathoms Deep" q stirring drama of deep sea adventure. t, now thrilling audiences at War ners' State theater. Here Is pie ture that has human and exciting moments. Under the direction of R. William Neill, the production leaves nothing to be desired in the way of realism and the deep sea shots are not only thrilling but de- cidedly interesting. The sound ef- fccts under water are marvellous. The plot is well developed dramat- ically.
 The important part of this film is the underwater stuff. It kept the audience In perpetual state or excitement and wonder. It Is q startling and fascinating reveia- tion of the perllous but adventur- ous existence of deep sea divers.
 Again Jack Holt comes through with one of his vibrant perform ances. What d man he makes this Tim Burke--rOistering, boisterinB. but with a heart of gold; broWny but brainy too! Loretta Savers IS thoroughly hateful as Pinky Cald- wells deceitful wife. Although new to the screen, she has master ed q difficult assignment; she plays an unsympathetic character with conviction. Richard Cromwell IS splendid as Pinky Caldwell. Don t miss this picture. It packs real wallop!
 The surrounding program IS comprised of some high class and extremely entertaining short sub iects that are pleasure to see and hear.

BARBER REJECTS
 JAIL CUSTOMERS

Kansas City. Mo. (UP) - If Arthur King. Kansas City barber, were not quite SO fastidiOus re- gardlng the customers who go un- der his shears. the municipal farm today might have a first-class ton- sOrial artist in attendance to as- sure summer comfort for the pris- .Oncra there.
 King appeared in court at the behest of two motorcycle patol- men, who said they had captured him after he had driven his motor car AS miles an hour on q down. town street. Judge Thomas Hol- land looked the prisoner over, the masked his occupation.
 I'm barber, Judge was the reply
 'Bine," said Judge Holland. re- calling that he had heard that q barber was badly needed at the municipal farm. You con do five days at the municipal farm, mak- ing the boys out there feel better and look better" A gleam of professional Interest came to Kings eye. and he made no protest.
 Then policemen too khlm to the holdover to await transportation to the farm. He looked around at the men who would be his "customers."
 Then he called tn eguards.
 "I'm appealing my case he told them. After seeing these birds well, I never thought it matterod to me whose hair I cut--but I'm appealing my case.'
 He obtained bond and was set free pending a hearing in a higher court.

and "ladyllke" modes.
 In conversation with a famous French style creator, this Manhat- tan buyer commented that he thought revivals of historic styles might fit well into the current scheme of things. As the talk con- tinued, the Second Empire was suggested as having possibilities.
 And-presto! Here they are.
 This, to be sure, Is but one yer sion. But whatever variation on the story I have heard. it appears to be generally admitted that the idea was conceived in America, suggested to Paris and immedi- ately snapped up. More of that sort of thing goes on than most folk realize. l was informed. By which l mean that original style novelties are created right here in the 57th street belt, whispered to someone in Paris and later appear as Paris creations.
 Already some of the lesser psy- chologists are claiming that the chic and ultra feminine headgear will have a definite effect upon those rebellious young women we've been hearing about for the past few years. A visitor to my desk this very day predicted that the girlies will try to live up to their hats--or something like that.
 In fact I keep hearing comments that this return to the gentler aspects. of garb is the beginning of the end of the militant feministic spirit. In fact one figure in q three-sided argument went so far as to claim that Q mild admission of defeat has been made; that the gals are preparing to lean on the mere males once more, will con- cede themselves to be the weaker sex and will seek that femine pro- tection that grandma used to tell about. All of which will, quite na- turally, recreate something of the old chivalrous spirit in our young men. And everything will be TO- mantle. elegant and swell!
 But I should know about things like that!
 I might add, however, that the more romantic optimists blame this, and great many other things. on the long period of de- precision. They hold that the wom- en who went forth to find a place in a mans world rode on the crest of a friendly wave. Now, when the struggle is more intense and diff ficult. they find that things are not so simple and are preparing to slide back to more comfortable existences.
 All of which sounds fairly prob- able insofar as a certain percent = age of women are concerned. Or what do you think?
 Which reminds me--whatever did become Of the suffragettes? still have some old cartoons in q scrap book showing them in mems trousers raising a lot of ruction.

Lima, Peru. (UP)-The mem- bers of the Shippee-Johnson aerial photographic expedition, which has been operating in Peru for six months, recently have been engag- ed in a ground survey of Colca val ley, lying northwestward of Are quipa.
 This valley, which is little known to the outside world, Is the site of some nine or ten old Spanish min ing towns. laid out with the in- evitable right-angled precipsion. central plaza and church. Seen from an airplane. this apparently populous valley hidden behind mountain walls has been of para mount interest to the expedition.
 Attempts to find safe landing field there were unsuccessful, so 1t was decided to transfer from plane to mulebnck for a closer study of the life and people of the valley region.
 The gound party, led by George Shippee, crossed into the region from Sumbay, on the Southern Railway. Lieut. George F. Johnson and Pilot Irving Hay remaining at Arequipa. During the latter part of July they five into the Colca Val ley on two occasions, and after sev- eral unsuccessful trials, succeeded in establishing communication with the ground party the latter tying their messages on Il rope stretched between two poles. erect ed on the roof of the chrch. By swinging . rope and weight from the plane, the rope between the poles to which the message was tied was entangled and carried away.

New York.-What with all our young women, middle-aged women and even elderly women threaten ing to wear those titled, fetchingly coy and quaintly Old-fashioned Empress Eugenie chapeaux, I've been doing bit of inquiring on the subject of how things got that way.
 Several of my Fifth Avenue minded girl friends, who usually rush to my rescue when matters get too feminine for the likes of me, have told me that in this in- stance they can be of little help. It seems that everyone who ever thought of making q hat has been going about claiming credit for the new vogue.
 The most popular version going about Manhattan Is to the effect that a French gentleman. who is one of the most expert buyers for one of the swankiest New York stores, went over to Paris to get some new seasonal styles and found paucity of original ideas. He did find a tendency among the French artists toward renaia- sance of the extremely feminine
