No Help, Thanks

NO Help, InanKS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper for a young lady
to assist a young man in putting
on his topcoat. especially in
public place?
Would the same rule apply to
an older man? H.
A woman should not make any
attempt to help a man with his
topcoat. He doesn't welcome
this SERVICE" and is usually
annoyed or embarrassed by this
attention. And he wants to take
care of his own hat, too.
He doesn't want a girl to hold
his hat in the theater, or to
help him with his coat, or to
take his hat and coat when he
entered a home. He wants to
be told where he is to place his
hat and coat.
OF course this does not hold
true when a man is crippled
or a very old man, for in both
cases there is a distinct and OBJ
viouS opportunity for the girl
or woman to be of service.

it would be appropriate to give
a gift of appreciation to one
who invites you to luncheon
as their guest?
If so, what would you suggest?
The most appropriate gift
would be flowers. . either send
them on the morning of the
luncheon, or take them with
you when you go to luncheon.
Or a box of candy, if you pre-
fer. Or a book that you are
sure that your hostess will
enjoy.
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Inasmuch as I am to be the
best man at wedding which is
to take place very soon, have
already presented the engaged
couple with a gift. I would like
to know whether it is necessary
or customary for me to also
give the groom a gift?
It is not necessary for you to
give the groom a gift. The we'd
ding present, sent to the bride,
is enough. Indeed, it is the
groom who gives a gift to his
best man, and gifts to his ush-
ers.

Frankly fearful that some Of

may disappear before they have
a chance to tell their versions
Of what took place, Federal au-
thorities had under subpoena
every member of the crew who
survived the disaster.
In the wake of Chief Engineer
Eben S. Abbott'S testimony that
he fled the ship in a boat contain
ing 80 crew members and only
two passengers, DR.. D. A. Coch-
rane was expected to give his own
version of this extraordinary
episode.
With the Commerce Depart.
mept'S inquiry scheduled to run
for at least three more days,
there was every indication today
that a great mass of sensational
testimony on the panic of the
passengers. the trapping of vic.
Tins in blazing state-rooms and
the behavior of officers and
crew is still to be heard.

U. S. Bureau of Standards, which
has a vast collection of data on
the cause of fire, might be called

This report came on the heels
of testimony by Governor. Morris
Phelps, jr., that the smoke which
bellied up in huge clouds from
the burning liner was of a pecu-
liar, biting quality. and that he
would recognize the odor if he
smelled it again anywhere.
While Mr.. Hoover would not
reveal whether the aid of the
Bureau of Standards actually was
to be invoked, it was said that
young Mr.. Phelps would be put
through series of tests in hope
of learning what chemical or ma
terial was responsible for spread
ing the flames with such terrible
rapidity.
In the meanwhile, the Federal
Grand Jury, undertaking a par
allel probe Of the catastrophe, was
to hear several witnesses who
have already appeared before the
Department of Commerce board.
Among the witnesses scheduled
for today are Acting Capt. Will

ficer Clarence C. Hackney, and

that in their belief the ship was
