Etiquette
Announcement
Of MARRIAGE
ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il am to be married within the
next few weeks, and since I am
to have very small wedding re.
ception, am planning to send
the wedding announcements after
the wedding. Is this correct?
MY father and mother are d.
vorced and haven't seen or heard
from my father for over three
years. l do not know where to
get in touch with him. How
should the announcements read:
Mr.. and Mrs. E. or just Mrs?
"B."
Yes, it is a perfect plan for you
to send formal announcements
after your small wedding. These
should be all ready to mail-en-
graved, addressed, stamped-di-
rectly after the ceremony has
been performed. And announce
mentS are sent only to those who
have not been invited to the we'd
ding.
Under these circumstances,
your announcement should, very
definitely, be sent only in your
mothers name. And in her name,
do not use her first name. Use
either Mrs. Smith Brown (Smith
being the surname of her maiden
name) or Mrs. M. Smith Brown
MARY Smith being her maiden

Tea Party

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
MY sister-in-law is to give a
tea for a dear friend of hers who
is to be married soon. The tea
is to be at my home. Will my
sister-in-law be the hostess, or am
1 the hostess, as the party is to
be at my home? Shall we both
assist with the pouring?
ID"
Your SiSter-in-law is the real
hostess of the tea party since it
is she who is doing the inviting.
But since the tea is being given
at your home, she would, of
course. consider you co-hostess
and should invite you to act as
co-hosteSS.
Your duty and hers would be
approximately the same, except
for the fact, that, when the guests
are being greeted as they arrive,
your sister in law would stand
nearer the entrance of the living
room. She will greet the guests
first, and then you would welcome
the guests.
No. neither you nor your sister.
in-law should assist with the pour
ing or serving. Better to ask two
or three friends to do this, so that
you and she will be released for
making any introductions, for see
ing that the guests are made com.

Stole a Kiss
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
my mother, who is real old
fashioned, has always told me that
if a boy kissed me before I was
engaged, should box his ears.
Il felt 1 would do this, but the
other night when Fred stole kiss,
I couldn't bring myself to do it,
because like him so much.
WAS it wrong in me not to box
his ears? My married sister told
me that was old stuff and girls
didn't do that any more. I'm
afraid now that Fred may want to
kiss me again. NANCY"
Without going the length Of,
boxing his ears, there are ways in,
which a young girl can show a
boy that his kisses are unwelcome&
But is this really the case with
YOU and Fred? Your letter does
not imply that. I agree with your
sister-ear-boxing has gone out.

Shows Good Sense

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'VE are both in high school,
and I wanted her to announce
our engagement. She declined to
do this, and didn't exactly give
me the air, but wouldn't hear of
anything serious, and says we're
both to go out with other boys,
and girls. What do you think of
such conduct?
Student" .
The foregoing is the summary
of a very long letter which the
young man warns me not to print
as it would be recognized. I must
say I think the girl has shown a
good deal of sense in the matter.
High school youngsters are too
young to become engaged. The
girls idea for young people to 60
around in groups and have good
time is much more sensible.

[AyTON'S : BON D
FORFEITED

A $4,000 kond for the appear
ance in District Supreme Court
of Alfred M. Layton, accused of
engineering & sWindle in connec-
ton with collecting a fund to pur-
chase the Moses Dykar bust of
Gen. John j. Pershing, was de-
clared forfeit yesterday by Justice
Jesse C. Adkins when he failed
to appear in court.
The bond was posted by Isaac
B. Jones, professional bOndsman,
some time ago, when Layton ap.
peared for a preliminary hearing
on the charge. After an indict-
ment charging use of the mails tV
defraud had been reported against
him, it was discovered Layton had
skipped"
A nationwide search was in
stituted and several postpone
ments of the arraignment
granted to afford the bondsman
an opportunity of locating the
fugitive. Layton was employed
by committee, which proposed
to purchase the bust through
public subscriptions for presenta-
ton to the Federal Government.
The subscription list comprised
names of more than 100 promi-
nent citizens throughout the
country. Layton, it was charged,
solicited other persons than those
assigned him.

Film Magnate
Opens War on
Poor Writers

NEW YORK, March 2
G.N.SD.-Three writer's out of
every four in Hollywood should
be pushing plows instead of
typewriters," said Samuel Gold
wyn, beaming, on his arrival
here yesterday from the West
Coast.
His happiness was due, it de-
veloped, to the fact that he be-
lieves he has discovered the
means whereby the three out
of every four will soon be turn
ing up burrows, or at least pilot"
ing beer trucks. He said:
81 have just signed up Rachel
Crothers, the playwright, under
an arrangement which is simply
revolutionary $1,000 advance
on her next story and the rest
straight royalties"
At first glance, he said, the
public may not realize the ter
rifle import of this, but the Hol-
lywood writer's will. He ex-
planned:
"It means writer's will be paid
according to what they're worth.
Up to now writer's who couldn't
write but had good agents were
able to go along indefinitely in
Hollywood for $1,000 a week
and up, with nobody the wiser"

Federal prosecutors today prom
ised speedy trials for the 40 de-
PENDANTS, alleged participants in
nationwide stolen bond ring,
who were indicted here for the
daring $4,000 mail robbery in
Chicago's Loop December 6, 1892.
Named as one of the ringlead-
ers in the plot to sell the stolen
securities was John j. BOSS" Nc
Laughlin, former politician now
awaiting trial in connection with
the 100000 ransom kidnapping of
Edward Bremen in st. Paul.
Named with Mclaughlin in both
indictments were Louis Wolfe, re-
puted salesman of stolen securi-
ties; Harry A. Sodini, st. Paul
jeweler; Attorney Clarke B. Richie
who, according to the Government,
used his office for gatherings of

LANSON 7 RIAL
DEADLOCKED

SAN JOSE, Cal, March 2.
G.N.SD.-Fear of jury tampering
was expressed here today in the
retrial of David A. Lamson, ac-
cused of the "bathtub murder" of
his attractive young wife Allene
on the Stanford campus.
The hearing was in adjourn
ment until Monday, but both
sides were engaged in a contro-
versy over the question of locking
up the seven men and five women
who will weigh Lamson's fate.
The prosecution frankly re-
gretted the jurors were not
locked up after they were chosen
at the untangling of the peculiar
legal Snarl occasioned by a juror
admitting he was a relative by
marriage of one of the proSecu-
tors.
Chief Defense Counsel Edwin
V. Mckenzie was less concerned,
saying he thought the jurors
would not listen to any propa-
ganda if it is offered to them.
The choosing of the jury was
a victory for the defense. The
State tried to keep the juror in
question in the box but Judge
Syer ruled he should be elimi-
mated. The State then asked that
the selection of the veniremen be
entirely reopened but the court
held only the one seat was in
question. 1t was quickly filled.
Mckenzie made the point, to
which the court acquieSced, that
to put more than one seat open
to challenge would place Lamson
in jeopardy more than once in
the eyes of the law and probably
mean his freedom without further
trial.

HOUSE DELAYS
AGEPENS|ONS
FOR D. {.
Subcommittee Members Fail
to Show Up to Act
on Measure

The District old-age pension
bill was given a Congressional
'push-around" today.
Only one member of the sub
committee of the House District
Committee showed up for the
final meeting on disposition OF
the bill today-Representative
Virginia E. Jenckes CD Of In
diana, chairman of the subcom.
mittee on public health, hospitals,
and charities. Another meeting
has been set for Tuesday.
Report Due Wednesday
Perturbed by the failure of her
colleagues to appear, Mrs. Jenckes
said the pension bill probably
will be reported favcrably when
the House District Committee
convenes Wednesday. It may
be brought to the floor Of the
House the following Monday.
Here is a bird's-eye view of the
Districts old-age pension bill:
The bill merely shifts the care
of needy old persons from scat
tered social agencies to a focal
point.
The bill will be a psychological
boon to beneficiaries, in that it
does away with the pauper idea
of receiving relief from public
funds.
Pension S35 Monthly
The bill provides a grant OF
$35 a month to persons who are
IS years old or over and have no
one to aid them.
Misers who think they can put
one over" on the Government by
receiving the pension aid while
holding their gold and silver and
real estate will be the losers when
the score is added up. The bill
provides, in the event the recipi'
ent of a pension leaves an estate,
all the money he has received
must be returned to the Govern
ment, with 3 per cent interest.
It is estimated there are 1000
persons today eligible for bene-
fits under the District old-age
pension bill. 1t is also estimated
the bill will cost the local govern
ment 100000 a year. No increase
in District taxation is anticipated.

CHECK IS ASKED
On NEW BANKS

Federal power to veto the crea-
ton of new banks was urged on
Congress by Comptroller of the
Currency O'Connor yesterday.
Under existing law, he told the
House Banking and Currency
Committee the FDIC must auto
matically grant insurance to any
bank showing liabilities equal to
assets. He said:
"The banking system would
be safeguarded if new banks
were required to prove a COM
munity need for their existence
before being granted insurance"
Notwithstanding an 874 million
dollar RFC stake in the capital
structure of the nations banks,
the Administration is striving to
encourage private investment in
banking institutions.
Revealing RIGS huge invest
ment in preferred stock, capital
notes and debentures of the banks,
O'Connor said:
Every effort has been made
to encourage local purchase Of
preferred stocks. We'd rather
have local people own the banks
than to have the Government
own them"

NEW YORK, March 2 G.N.SD.
Bogus Prince Mike Romanoff is
too bogus even for Broadway.
The ex-East Side pants presser,
who is accused by Mrs. Wilma E.
Gould of having drugged and
compromised her so that rela.
tives could obtain divorce evi.
dence against her, found himself
ostracized along the street OF
lights today.
Apparently there are some
things that even the most toler'
ant street in the world won't
stand for.
At the Versailles restaurant,
where Mike has been employed for
some time past as sort of razzle-
dazzle host to the smart trade, it
was explained that he no longer
was connected with the establish
ment.
His value to the restaurant, it
was pointed out, was based on the
friendShip-and drinks-which So
ciety and the big spenders show
cred upon him. But when the so.
cial lights and money trade began
openly snubbing him and showing
him away from their tables like a
whipped dog, the management de.
cided perhaps Mikes stock in
trade had flown out the window.

7 H j IS DIVIDE
$4,000 LOOT

NEW YORK, March 2 GN.SO.
Two extremely daring robbers
were dividing loot in excess Of
$4,000 today, the proceeds of two
holdups in the heart of the Broad
way white light district last night.
While two clerks and a Gus
toner were chatting in hat store
at Fortieth Street and Broadway,
the two bandits, both young and
good looking, entered. Drawing a
pistol from his pocket, one of the
intruders forced the three men to
the rear and tied their hands with
handkerchiefs. They then took
$25 from the cash register and an
envelope containing SIS from the
customer.
Dissatisfied with such a meager
haul, the same two men, less than
an hour later, walked into the
jewelry store of Herman Insel-
berg, at Broadway and Sixty-ninth
Street. They forced Inselberg into
the rear of the establishment and
after tieing him up, as they did
the three men in the hat store,
proceeded leisurely to gather up
all the jewelry in sight.
Then they walked outside and
we're lost in the crowd of pass
erSby.
Inselberg estimated the value of
the stolen jewelry at $4,000.

ON MONEY
GIVEN KAISER

DOORN, Holland, March 2 Il.
N.SD.-Doorn House has a festive
air today for the first time in
many anxious months, for the
aging kaiser at last has been re-
lieved of his financial worries.
1t was Adolf Hitler, who only q
few days ago quashed the last
hope for restoration of the Hohen-
zollern line to the Imperial throne
of Germany, who made it possible
for Wilhelm to spend his declin-
ing days in luxury.
Money problems began for the
court" of the eXiled kaiser many
months ago, when Germany first
imposed severe limitations upon
the transfer of currency out of
the country.
Last Christmas was one Of the
most unhappy the woodchopping
throneless monarch and his family
ever spent. They hardly had
money enough for large celebra-
ton, much less for the expensive
gifts they usually exchanged.
But today came the news from
Berlin that a special dispensation
had been made in the Kaiser's
favor.
Currency restrictions were eased
for him, and Hitler will hence
forth permit transfer of certain
amount of Wilhelm'S funds to
Doom.

BRITISH ADOPT
|. STREAML|N|NG

That America is not the sole
proponent of the new stream
lining" idea in transportation is
evidenced by the newest trolley
car built by the British.
Built to handle interurban traf-
fic service, the car is said to
make a speed of more than 10
miles per hour. It closely re-
sembleS, in essential design, one
of the cars Of the famous Union
Pacific streamlined train which
last fall broke the record in a
run from coast to coast.
The history of railroad trans"
portation in Great Britain has
always differed sharply from that
of America, particularly in re-
spect to design.
Because of the necessity Of
travelling long distances between
widely separated towns, trains in
this country have been built much
larger and heavier-but not faster
than those of Britain.
English trains are built on a
smaller scale, the densely popu-
lated terrain calling for numerous
stops and starts. The new mo
dern figured" trolley is expected
to fill the bill nicely.
