Advice to the
LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
Question Of PrOpriety

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
What is your opinion Of a
girl who goes to a boys house
with another couple when his
parents are away, even though
there are one or two people in
the house? Do you think 1t
cheapenS a girl?
Does love make girls do this
even when they know that it
isn't the right thing?
"A MOUNTAIN
SWEETHEART"
I think that there is no harm
at all in a girl going to a boys
house, provided there are other
people in the house, especially II
these others are adults. OF
course, much depends on her at
titude when she makes the
visit. BY her own actions she
can cheaper herself or improve
her position. AS general
thing, would advise putting
common sense ahead Of love in
matters of this kind. There is
no reason why people should not
be happy when their actions are
guided by both common sense
and love.

out, and assisted a girl to the

Dee leaned back somewhat

When Manners
Are Correct

The Use Of the Oyster Fork

The Use Of the Oyster Fork
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Lately I was given an oyster
fork to eat an anchovy paste
canape with. Just yesterday l
was served an appetizer Of to-
mato, anchovy, hardboiled egg
and caviar. Again I was handed
an oyster fork. Is this correct7
I always assumed that this par
ticular fork was only to be used
for shrimp, crabmeat and oyster
cocktails.
would be very grateful If
you will enlighten me on the
use of the above fork. Is it cor
rect to eat small fancy shaped
appetizers in ones fingels?
May I take this opportunity
to thank you for your helpful
column? My husband and l
both watch it with intense in
tereSt. MRS. K.
I am as much at sea as you
are on how we would be ex-
pected to eat a canape or the
other appetizer that you de-
scribe, with an oyster fork. I
am sure that I couldn't have
done it. How did you manage?
You are right, of course, the
oyster fork is to be used when
we eat oysters, or clans. on the
half-shell or served as a cock
tail and with cocktails of such
ingredients as shrimp, crabmeat,
or lobster. When we are served
a canape, we should be pro-
vided with a small fork-the
so-called tea or buffet fork" Is
of a perfect size. Or a fork Of
luncheon size, if we have no
smaller ones.
Appetizers served at the table
should always be eaten with a
fork, or with small knife and
fork. The latter is regarded
by punctilious hostesses as the
perfect service. 1t is only when
we serve appetizers with the
pre-dinner beverages, in the liv-
ing room, that we eat them in
our fingers.
Eating a DevilIed Egg Sandwich
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you please tell me
whether or not it is correct to
eat a devilled egg sandwich
with a fork? ct Is on fresh

Yes, or with a small knife
and fork, if you prefer.

Mer- chants present were unanimous Tn their expressions to join hands In arranging a minimum markup on all merchandise. The purpose of the day" is also to urge the people in Waterbury who can afford it, and those who

 money into circulation, whether 1t
 is in the buying of new merchan-

 The theme of the meeting seemed to be that the wheel of tn- dustry must start moving and the buying power must be called upon | to give 1t the necessary impetus.
 It was brought out by many in at | tendance that there are thousands

The Bidding.

The Bidding.
 The hand was played at con- tract. South passed, West bid one spade, North doubled. East bid two spades over the double in or der to show one and one-half tricks and normal support. South passed, West went to three spades, North bid four diamonds and East doubled. South passed and West went to four spades.
 The Play.
 North opened the king of dia- monds. When holding ace. king, queen, the king is led. East. the dummy. plays the eight and South plays the six-spot so that he can echo out on the next lead. North continues with the queen of dia- monds and South plays the deuce which West trumps with the deuce of spades. West. the declarer, leads a small heart to the dunn my's kind and returns the four of hearts from dummy, winning in his own hand with the ace. The nine of hearts is then trumped in dummy with the six of spades and dummy, declarer winning in his OWH ildAd tAAC AoSSas
 The eight of hearts is then led and ruffed in dummy with the ace of spades, South discarding the seven of clubs. The jack of dia- monds is led from dummy. South can rightfully figure his partner for the ace of clubs to justify his dou- ble. If he discards the 10 of clubs. West will drop the five of clubs and North will be in with the ace of diamonds. South's proper play Is to trump the jack of diamonds to prevent West from throwing the lead into North's hand, but even then the hand can be defeated.
 Suppose that South plays the 10 of clubs. West will drop the five of clubs and North will win with the ace of diamonds. North should realize what the deciarer Is at- tempting to do. Trumps have only been led once. It is true that he rather hesitates to play to the good 10 of diamonds in dummy. but he should know that South can trump it..
 When the hand was actually played, North laid down his ace of clubs and this allowed the declarer to go game. His proper play would be to lead his four of dia- monds, and when the declarer played the 10 of diamonds from dummy. South would trump with the four of spades. West would overtrump with the 10. He could pick up the two outstanding trump with his king, jack. but he would have to lose the fast two tricks.
 West, the deciarer. by throwing North in the lead. gave hls oppo- nenfs a chance to make mistake, which they did. and ho thereby made his contract. (copyright 1881 NEA Service Incl

 The report warned, however, that workers might be driven to demanding a dole.
 owners of industry will be largely responsible for the en- actment of unemployment insur- ance legislation if opinion becomes so crystallized as to demand com pulsory unemployment insurance laws" the executives of the feder- ation said.
 During the extended period of unemployment the owners of in- dustry have failed to offer either a plan or a remedy for unemploy- ment. No response has been made to the appeals of labor.
 "Owners and managers have miserably failed. Ruthless dis charge of millions of working men and women in an indictment of our unsound economic system and in- dustrial situation" said the com mittee, in demanding job assur- ance, five-day week, and shorter hours to spread employment.
 American people demand work. They resent imposition of the dole. They abhor charity. They must not and they will not be the vic tins of a paternalistic policy" said the report, "but it must be the work or unemployment in- surance."

republican majority on the char ter commission and a republican majority in both branches of the state legislature.
 Tn tomorrow's balloting, also, the voters of Waterbury will ballot on two proposed amendments to the state constitution which have been previously explained. They will vote for or against measures permit ting absentee voting and allowing the assistant town clerks of the state to swear in new electors.
 William Conlon, one of the un- successful candidates for city clerk, today issued a statement, which was as follows: "One point that has been brought forward very much during this election in favor of Mayor Hayes has been his ex- cellent judgment in his various ap- pointments and the way in which his appointees made good. One ex- ample was the appointment of the late Edward Bradley as superin- tendent of streets. MT Bradley made a fine record and endeared himself to all the people of Water bury, especially in the heavy repub- lican sections of Bunker Hill. When MT Bradley died everybody thought Mayor Hayes would have a job on his hands in picking his successor but he came out with another ace in the person of Superintendent Thomas Fleming, a local boy, a first class and experienced engineer.
 MT Fleming has certainly made good in a big way. He has been doing wonderful work all over the city. His work, especially that on Baldwin street, has been winning praise from people in all sections of Waterbury. Everybody claims 1t is the finest piece of street paving ever done here and what Is more has been done so that it will not crack up. It is going to last for a long time. The work is being done with local labor, thereby relieving to a considerable extent the local unemployment situation. It wouldn't be at all surprising if Superintend- ent Fleming were to step into city Engineer Cairns shoes some day when that very estimable gentleman retires." ,,..
 This attitude on the part of MT Conlon, an unsuccessrul canoioate for the post of city clerk on the democratic ticket, is considereu very timely. It is said to snow the very attitude of the other numer- ous men who sought the demo fYocratic nomination for city clerk which finally went to John T. Fitz- maurice, Jr.. at the party's city convention.

Pangborn and
 HerndOn Cross
(Continued from Page 1.)

Inside of half an hour nearly 10000 were thronging the roads leading to the field. Traffic was damned, and the aviators were forced to wait until the road was cleared to permit passage to the town.
 The only reason Pangborn and Herndon gave for returning to Wenatchee after flying to Spokane was "oh, we liked the looks of Wenatchee better"
 The real reason was believed to have been the fact that Mrs Fang born was waiting here. Then, too, the flyers decided that there was no use of risking long distance flight attempt when they could land here safely. then continue to Dallas to claim another prize.
 Stores here were closed, business suspended and everybody who could get away joined the crowd.
 Police and unit of the National Guard were powerless to control the mob. A cordon was thrown about the plane to protect it from the rush of spectators.
 Pangborn and Herndon were laughing most of the time. They were glad to be home" and kept telling everybody how happy they were, and what mice" triy they had.
 "It was a cinch," said Herndon. "The old bus performed perfectly, motor never missed. We just took off in Japan, flew across and landed here. That was all"
