Asking Permission for the Dance
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Should a young man ask
girls escort husband, fiance
or friend) whether he may
dance with the grip We have
had a discussion in our office,
and most of us think that as
long as it is the girl who is going
to dance, it is polite for the
young man to ask the girl, and
the girl ask her escort. Are we
wrong?
I am a constant reader Of
your column and permit me to
say I have cleared up great
many puzzling questions on eti-
quette through you. H. u.
What usually happens when a
man asks a girl to dance with
him-and what should happen,
if all three are well-mannered-
is that the partner-to-be asks
the girl to dance with him, and,
when she accepts, he turns to
the partner with whom she is,
and says, do you mind?", or
May I?", or something of this
kind. casual, to be sure, but in
dicating that his manners are
well-polished. Then as the girl
rises to go to the dance floor,
she says to her former partner,
will you excuse me, please?"

CHAPTER rs

NAAGAA NAS ~
In telephoning Duke Carson,
Connie was moved by a sense
of immediate necessity; there
might be, she realized, no time
to lose. Kitty, in her present
state, was highly susceptible to
any proposition Jim Tracy cared
to make.
~ In the light of her new under
standing of Jim, she was GER
tain that he would drive d.
rectly for Kitty and her money.
She was puzzled at herself for
not sllaming him, yet her kindly
regard was too recent to be
entirely displayed at once.
Jim, undeniably, had a charm
that took much of the sting
from his duplicity-yet it might
not be exactly duplicity. either.
Unconsciously, he gravitated to-
ward the main chance. No doubt
he would have been astonished
at the harsh judgment Of his
motive.
No, it wasn't Jim who mat
tered-it was Kitty. At once
and by whatever means possible
she must be preserved from the
tragic consequences Of her in
fatuation. Connie knew that
outside help would be needed,
and Duke Carson was the only
help in sight. BY good fortune
she was able at once to get
him on the telephone.
II want to see you as soon as
7 can," she told him. Il could
come down to New York, but
I'd rather you come up here"
Something Is Wrong

wrong about Kitty?"

incisive quality was tempered

Wedding Dramatic, But Not
Theatrical

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. I turn to you for a few
suggestions. Are ring bearers
still in vogue. A ring bearer
carrying the ring in lily
seems a lovely idea. Is it in
good taste?
2. What are the best colors
for bridesmaids dresses at this
time of the year?
3. Is it we'll for the maid of
honor to be dressed in white
trimmed with pale colors?
E. G.
/. Ring bearers are not usual
at weddings nowadays. And I,
for one, am glad. They have
always seemed to me a bit a
great deal perhaps, theatrical.
A wedding, a formal wedding,
it is true. should be dramati-
cally planned-its very quality,
with the professional and reces-
sional and music and all, is
dramatic in its inclination-but
it should veer away from the
theatrical. The ring bearer,
especially if she or he carries
the ring in some sensational
manner, takes too much atten-
ton from where 1t should be
on the bride.
2. Yellow is lovely at all
times of the year for brides
maids dresses and always
forms a charming background
for the brides costume. Some
shades of green are also de-
lightful and also some shades
of red.
3. This usually isn't very
effective.

asking for her on the tele-

stance in which I am turning

and manners, to tell me if I
am right or wrong in calling
her Patricia? EDWARD.
I'm so glad that you wrote
to me about this, for indeed
you would always lay yourself

object to your using her first
name as you ask to speak with
her over the telephone.

WITH YOUR CHILD
Dangers of Punishment


Last week we discussed the wise
use Of punishment, improper pun
ishment may result in grave harm.
Fear of the parent is often aroused
by harsh, frequent or unjust pun
ishment. Then the child is apt to
resort to lying to escape the un-
just punishment.
Hardness and cruelty in the child
may be brought about by punish
ment that is not adapted to him and
hence causes him to build up a de-
tense.
Repressions and inhibitions Of
the child's natural conduct may be
caused by unwise punishment. The
nature which has not the strength
to rise, shrinks and cringes and
takes refuge in a dream world, in
stead of expressing its impulses by
action. Daydreaming is one of the
great dangers associated with I'M
wise punishment, as the dreamer
gradually loses connection between
purpose and the action involved in
carrying out that purpose.
We have seen that children learn,
not everything they do repeatedly.
but the things they do successfully.
It is also true that they lear not
