In Ways of
Propriety
Thanks for Plant in
Hospital-Gifts to
Honor Guests.
BY EMILY POST,

nEAR MRS. POST: Mr.. and Mrs.
Ex-Employer have Just been to
see me in the hospital and brought
q beautiful plant. I thanked them
personally, but would like to do some
thing else If you can suggest some-
thing"
Answer-Since you thanked them
verbally. it Is not necessary that you
do anything further. but you can,
II you want to, emphasize your ap-
probation by writing them o note
after you are able to thank them
again for the plant and for coming
to see you.
from my husband for several months
before he died, but we had no divorce.
Ought to write my name as his
widow or as q divorcee?"
Answer-Since you weren't divorced
actually you would probably continue
to use his name. On the other hand,
II you prefer to use your own name
instead Of his, you are ESQ far as !
know free to do so.
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell me what
Is considered proper when 1 happen TO
be dining In restaurant with q lady
and an acquaintance of mine stops for
a minute or two in passing by. Should
they be introduced"
Answer-n he stands at your table
for an appreciable length Of time, you
should introduce him to the lady, un.
less you have reason TO believe that
the introduction might not be agree
able to her. But if he is merely an
acquaintance, he ought not to stop at
your table when you are with q lady
whom he does not know.
Dear Mrs. Post: The neighborhood
custom in this new community seems
to be to give showers, which I find
friendly in spite Of my previous feel
ing against them. But what I can't
get used to is the custom guests have
Of always turning over the prizes won
at bridge to the guest Of honor. Do
you know the reason for such prac-
tice?"
Answer-I haven't the vaguest idea
where this custom originated, but
judging from the number Of people
who have written to me about it, 1t
Is apparently rather typical of cer-
tain definite localities. I can find no
sensible excuse for giving away tbs
prizes which a hostess offered for
highest score, especially when the
guest Of honor has already received
guest prize, which is typical Of these
same localities. While the whole pro-
cedure must be intended as a gesturs
of supreme courtesy, it is actually an
unnecessary rudeness to the hostess.

YUNE is the brides month, and
they are all afiutter with de-
ucious excitement over the ar
~ rangements for the ceremony
and busy as can be trying on one
lovely thing after another.
II you have loads Of money 1t Is
always fairly easy to shop, but making
the most Of limited budget is very
different. When you have to spread
it around over q whole wardrobe 1t
takes careful planning to account Tor
every sort Of occasion and to be able
to meet it smartly.
You want to look your loveliest IN
your bridal gown, but you don't want
to put so much into it that you have
to skimp on the other items. We
have been looking into this very prob
lem and have discovered that really
charming wedding gown can be found
for $40, or q trifle over; that tulle
wells are priced from $40 up, and
slippers around IS. so that for $35
you could easily cover the main items
THE very beautiful bridal gown
l. sketched is of satin, in either
pure white or ivory. 1t has a high
cowl neck that is soft and graceful,
with a slight v opening in the back
and a row Of small satin-covered but
tons extending from the v to below
the waistline. The shallow shoulder
yoke and upward point Of the skirt
onto the waist are interesting details
Of cut. The long clinging lines Of the
skirt will make q shimmering con-
trast to the full lines of the veil. Al
though we are seeing q great many
bridal gowns in thin, transparent ma
terials, the classic satin gown will
remain a favorite. This model Is
priced at under $40.
The veil that was shown as suitable
to accompany this gown is regula-
ton length of 31s yards of tulle with
cap having narrow pleated frill
around the face. banded by three rows
of small pearl beads and little mar
row lace ruffle. At the back the cap
is finished with a row of small lilies
forming a wreath. The end of the
veil is cut straight and finished with
two rows of lace. Wells vary in price
from $40 to $40, the more expensive
ones being Of a finer quality Of tulle
and made a little wider than the
others.
In.the same general group Is white
mousseline as under $25, made very
simply and trimmed with pleatings OF
the material. 1t has puff sleeves and
a plain skirt with round train edged
around the bottom with q mousseline
pleating. Bridesmaids frocks in the
same material in all pastel colors may
be had for less than SIS, and they dc
make an adorable group with rufled
capes and plenty of skirt ruffles and
hats of the same material. net OF

Dorothy Dix Says
What's Your Husband Worth to You
in Cold, Hard Cash?

a pretty, well-groomed woman. Per-
haps she has nagged at him about his
faults and mistakes and belittled him
until his vanity was so sore that he
was ready to lick the hand Of any
woman who would pour over him the
soothing ointment Of flattery. Perhaps
his wife esteemed him so little that
she didn't think it was worth while
even to try to amuse or entertain or
make him comfortable. So any woman
who would make fuss over him only
had to reach out her hand and take
him.
WHY, it is easier to jimmy chilled

it is to steal husband away from his
wife If she really considers him
treasure and wants to keep him, be-
cause the wife has all the initial ad-

w YHAT is the value of hus-
\Aj banda Not sentimentally,
" " of course, for we all recog-
nize that the price Of
devoted husband who is household
pet is above rubies. But what Is the
mister worth in cold, hard cash?
Heretofore, the casual view of this
subject has been that a husband was
worth to his wife whatever she thought
he was worth, but that he was Of
mighty little value to anybody else.
Recently, however, the court has not
only written price-tag on this species
Of domestic animal, but has marked
it up so high that it has put it in the
luxury class, for in handing down q
verdict in a case in which wife sued
woman for stealing her husband
she was awarded damages Of S100, 900.
A ND that, mind you, for what seems
"A to have been Just an ordinary
husband. Nothing fancy about him.
For it was not claimed that he was
possessed of any qualities that made
him especially valuable to his pos
SCISSOR.
Nothing was brought forward to
show that he was one Of that rare
breed of husbands who get up in the
morning and prepare wifes break
fast and take it to her in bed, and who
help the children with their home work
in the evenings. It was not claimed
that he would be irreplaceable be-
cause he kept up the technique Of the
lover after marriage and always re-
membered anniversaries and sent his
wife flowers, and told her every day
that in every way she grew more
beautiful and wonderful.
NOR was it asserted that he was a
~ thrilling fireside companion. or
a little ray of sunshine in the home,
or even q go-getter whose shortcom-
ings were atoned for by charge ac-
counts at the best stores and the
newest thing in streamtne cars. No,
he appears to have been just the or
binary, or garden, variety Of husband,
the kind that comes in punches, yet
the courts assessed his value at hun
dred thousand smackers.
This will cause many wife to turn
an appraising eye upon her husband
who heretofore hasn't seemed much
of q muchness to her, and make her
wonder If she is really rich without
knowing it-if she really possesses a
treasure whose value she had not even
suspected. It is an alluring thought.
Like discovering that the white beads
she bought are matched pearls.
DERHAPS this court decision on the
value of husbands will have a
profound effect on domestic life. For
it is undoubtedly true that the great
majority Of wives who lose their hus-
bands do so for the same reason that
they lose their handbags - because
they are careless with them and leave
them lying around where any lady can
grab them up and make on with them.
They lock up their diamond pins and
their best handkerchiefs. but they
never turn Q key on hubby. They
don't even try to safeguard him.

The Old Gardener Saws /:

Probably there Is no better vine
for climbing over an old tree, o
Summer house or a pergola than
the trumpet vine. Bigonia radi-
cans, which bears large bright
colored flowers and Is distinctly
ornamental. It blooms later
than the wistaria, which has long
been a popular climbing plant,
and which, too, Is useful for grow
ing on dead trees or pergolas.
The wistaria Is often seen on a
house, and no doubt makes a
pretty picture there, but it is too
strong growing to be safely used
in such a position, because in the
course Of time it is likely to rip
on shingles or perhaps break
open q window sill, When al
lowed to climb over q tree or q
large pergola, 1t Is wonderfully
attractive, and flowers much bet
ter than when given more for
NAL position on latticework or
wires.

Relief Gases
Refuse Jobs:
l65 sFired9

CALUMET, Mich. Aug. "a GIN.
SJ.-With SO per cent of the
population of Keweenaw county
on relief, 400 jobs in private indus
try went begging. it was revealed
today.
AS a result, State Relief Director
William Haber ordered 1855 single
men from the relief rolls. Indica-
tions were others also may be
stricken from relief lists, as there
are 876 men receiving dole.
DR.. Haber said his action was
taken after three pulpwood manu-
facturers reported they were I'm.
able to hire $50 men needed for
operations that would last a
month.
Recently 400 jobs were offered
the 876 on relief, it was said, but
the men either refused pointblack
or LAY down on the job so they
would be fired.

DUE.
TO DEFEND HIS
REGIME
Executive Goes on Air
Tonight in Speech
To u. S. Youth
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt goes on the
air at $50 tonight in a speech in
which he will defend his Admins
tration in contrast between the
old order and the new"
The talk will be specifically
directed to the convention Of
Young Democrats at Milwaukee,
but advance reports indicate that
the President will be addressing
the young men and women of the
country everywhere, regardless of
party affiliation.
It is reported that he will be
talking in a non-partisan way to
Republicans as we'll as Democrats
and considerable care is being
taken to spread the idea that the
Presidents speech will not be a
party political document.
Answers Slated
Nevertheless, it cannot escape
the scrutiny of the politicians
here and elsewhere. Already the
Republican organization has an
nounced that Representative Smell,
G. o. P. leader in the House, will
reply to the President possibly to.
morrow night. It also has been
predicated that the Liberty League
will produce conservative Demo
crat to answer the President.
At the same time political OBJ
servers point out that if the Presi-
dent talks to young people at
large, and contrasts the so-called
"old order" with the new" he
will have difficulty in avoiding the
social program of his own Ad-
mlnlStration, which is the center
OF one of the most violent political
controversies the country has seen
in many years.
Won't Reply to Hoover
It is definitely asserted that he
Will not answer anybody" That
means former President Hoover's
demand that the President an.
nounce his aims will be ignored.
There have been suggestions
that the President would like to
build up Mr.. Hoover as the Re-
publican candidate, as it is be,
lieved by the Democrats, and by
not a few Republicans. that the
former President would be an easy
man to defeat in the next election,
The new order" as discussed
by the President may hold the
key to what is on the Presidents
mind about loosening up the Con-
stitution to permit some of the
social legislation and planned
economy which is being disputed
in the courts.
The President goes on the air
with what one Of his close friends
calls pretty nearly a thousand
per cent batting average He
refers to the Presidents success
in getting almost all of his pro-
gram through Congress, which
at times has staged rebellion
and at others has given support
to measures which would have
been declared impossible four
years ago.
