visable for me to ask her to
marry me? have a big farm
and can make a good living,
but I am afraid we might not
get along.
Please answer this as soon as
possible, as I don't want to
string along with this lady, if
we aren't to be married.
r. S. B. C.
Have the II ever met, and
how do they get along to-
gether? Was there stand-offish-
ness, friction, criticism, and
general unfriendliness. or did
they get together and have a
good time?
To provide for II children,
will be something of a financial
undertaking, but if your farm
can bear the traffic and the chill
dren like each other, and you
and the lady are in love. why
not try to make a go Of it.

Gardenias and
PrOn1S
By MRs.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

By MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beecman:
Is it proper, when I invite a
young man friend to a prom to
tell him that I would prefer
gardenias, if he asks what kind
of corsage I prefer? Or should
say that it is up to him.?
Does young man have to
take a girl out to dine after a
prom or is the fact that he
gives her a corsage enough?
It would be extremely u un-
gracious of a girl to answer
that the choice of the flowers
for the corsage is up to" the
man when he has been so
gracious and thoughtful as to
ask her for her choice.
Courtly men, when they are
planning to send a corsage to
woman, usually do ask her
about her choice of flowers, to
determine the flowers that the
woman thinks will harmonic
best with the frock she is to
wear.
Naturally he asks to be guided,
and the woman would graciously
take it in that spirit. How
kind of you to ask" she might
say, Il love gardenias, and
they would be charming with
the dress 1 am going to wear"
There's nothing attractive
about being indirect or evasive
when we are asked direct queS'
ton like this-and men don't
like this indirectneSs.
Whether or not the young
man invites the girl to dinner
or supper after prom depends
entirely on his choice, and on
his pocket-book!
Sir?
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please settle an ar
gument for us? Miss A says
that the use OF Cne 1OA4o"'
ing is quite proper and Miss B
says it is not.
When a gentleman addresses
or asks a young lady a ques-
ton, should she answer, Eyes,
SIR" or mo, SIR? Miss B says
that these terms are pasSe and
Miss A says that it shows mark
of refinement. READER.
A woman, when a man asks
her a question says, either Eyes,
Mr.. Graham" or mo, Mr..
Graham" or, if she calls him
by his first name, Eyes, Tom"
or mo, Tom," or just Eyes" or
No."
Boys, when they answer a
question asked by a man say,
politely, Eyes, sir, or mo, sir"
