Etiquette
Good Manners
And Guests
ByMRS.C CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
What is the proper way to re-
ceive guests?
what is the proper way to
introduce guests?
"What is the proper way to
bid guests goOd-by?
what is meant by the term,
bread-and-butter letters?
FRANCES"
The hostess and host always
rise to receive q guest, always
shake hands with o guest, and
always say some gracious thing
to welcome the guest, such as:
How do you do, Mrs. Allen.
How nice Of you to come, or
ut Is such q pleasure to have
you come, or 1--WE are delighted
to see yOu."
A man is introduced to q
woman by the form, Miss
Jones, may / present Mr.. Allen"
or, more informally, miss
Jones, Mr.. Allen, or "MiSs
Jones, this is Mr.. Allen" The
woman's name is always men
toned first.
Women are usually introduced
to each other by mentioning
the names only: Miss Jones,
Miss GilderSleeve." If one Of
the women is appreciably older
than the other, the name Of the
elder woman is mentioned first.
If one woman is married and
one unmarried, the name Of the
married woman is mentioned
first, unlGss the unmarried
woman is much older than the
married woman and perhaps is
a distinguished woman who
should be given the honor Of
having her name pronounced
first.
We always present everyone
to our mother: Mother, may I
present Mr.. Billings"
Men are introduced to each
other by mentioning the names:
"Mr. Walter, Mr.. Hall"
AS a guest takes his or her
leave, the hostess and host rise,
shake hands and thank the
guest for coming, saying, for in.
stance, "Good-by, Mrs. Fairfield.
1t was delightful to have you
with us, and thank you so much
for coming" or 1--WE are so
happy that you could come.
Please come again soon, won't
you?" or you made us so
happy by coming. Please give
up that pleasure again soon"

and-butter letter." is used for
the letter of thanks we write to
a hostess after we have visited
in her home.
WEDDING GIFT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
would you please give me
some suggestions for a wedding
present to be given to a couple
who will be constantly travelling
after they are married? S."
A handsome travelling clock
and we've never been offered so
many beautiful designs in these
clocks as we have been this year
is the first gift-Suggestion that
naturally comes to mind. Also a
leather photograph holder, one
that folds and holds either two
or four photographs.
Or a compact, leather writing
portfolio, las u.s." or equipped
with various sizes of letter and
note paper. Or you might like
to give two fountain pens, alike
except for size, and have them
imprinted with the names of the
bride and groom. Or a leather
portfolio, with compartments for
letters and so forth.
LEFT HAND IN LAP
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Where does one place ones
left hand while eating-in the
lap, or with the wrist on the
edge of the table?
"When expected guests arrive,
should you wait until they have
rung the bell before you greet
them, or should you meet them
at the door before they ring the
bell? LOUISE"
The left hand, when it isn't
in use, should be kept in the lap.
Better to let them ring the
bell.

DEATH CLAIMS
ASKOV PIONEER
Mrs. Julius F. Slot, ST., Succumbs
to Paralysis After % Years
of Residence Here.

The last member of a pioneer
couple in the AskOv community passed
away Monday, when Mrs. Julius Slott,
ST., succumbed to a second stroke of
paralysis. Mrs. Slott, whose husband
preceded her in death nine years ago,
had kept the home for her two sons,
julius and Jens, on their farm five
miles northeast of Askov, until in
April, when she suffered her first
stroke. Since that time she has been
confined to her bed and it was ex-
pected that her remaining days were
numbered.
Hedvig Marie Nissen was born in
Graasten, Denmark, Nov. "a, 1859, and
came to the United States settling at
Yankton, S. D., in 1878, where she
was married to Julius F. Slot on Oct.
IS, 1882. To this union II children,
nine boys and two girls, were born,
six of whom, William, of Cloquet;
Walter of Sioux Falls, S. D.; Martin
of Bruno; Mrs. Dorothy Linge, of Pom
tiac. Mich; and julius and Jens at
home, survive her. The others pre-
coded their mother in death. After
a few years residence in Yankton, the
Slots moved to Irene, S. D., where
they homesteaded. All of the chill
dren were born in South Dakota.
They came to the Askov community
in 1908 as one of the few early set
tiers and the home northeast of town
has been their residence since, where
julius and Jens have been faithful
assistants in the management of the
farm. Mrs. Slot was a good mother
and will be sorely missed by her chill
dren who are left behind.
Funeral services will be held at
1:45 to-day Thursday from the home
and at 2 o'clock from the church.
Rev. Charles S. Rydell of Bruno, will
preach the funeral sermon and burial
will be made in the Vilstad cemetery
near the home where she had resided
so long.
Six old friends and neighbors, ]. E,
C1egg, Martin Isaksen, j. D. DeMaris,
Charles Jackson, Nath Degerman, and
Charles Fletcher will carry her body
to its last resting place. A large
circle of friends and neighbors and
old residents of Pine county will join
in extending sincere sympathy to the
bereaved children in their sorrow

Askov, Sturgeon Lake and Denham

second half of the schedule of the
Pine County Baseball League. How
ever, Sundays contests which will see
Askov and Sturgeon Lake tanele en- the
Sturgeon diamond will eliminate one
from the top berth, and Denham will

team goes to Willow River. Willow

in the game with AskOv until the
final inning when this was wiped out
with a two-run rally by Askov,

Sandstone have not been playing up
to normal strength so far in the sec
ond half but are expected to find
their stride before the race gets
much older.
R. Libra, playing third base for

that there is such a creature else

Judging from the box score of the
Askov-Rutledge baseball game on
July at Rutledge, one would imagine
that the Askovites had been paying
close attention to the sensational raj
lies which are common with the Min

in the ninth inning, Askov went on
batting rampage to score II runs
and to turn an almost complete rOut
of the game into their favor, 10 to II.
The game saw one of Askov's former
stars again in the lineup when Jens
Hyldahl pitched part of the con-

Askov showed a total of Sc times at

KITTENS PROTECT
STRAWBERRY PATCH

1t is a common sight as one
passes along the roads now days
to see funny looking objects in
corn-fields, gardens or fruit patch
es. Old clothes are brought into
employment by being stuffed with
hay, rags, paper or what have you.
But a new and novel scheme has
been used by Mound resident to
keep birds away from his straw
berry patch. George Plant of that
community, placed two kittens in
a box turned so there would be
shade for the occupants. The kit
tens following natural tendency
began to play around the hox as
kittens usually do; keeping the
birds away from the strawberries
and thus earning their regular
meals and refreshments given
them by their master. Mr.. Plant
claims that two kittens can make
enough noise to protect a large
piece of ground. The idea is not
patented.
