very cold weather-yes, even

At Christmas time our babies
were not put out on their sun
porch when the temperature
dropped below Is degrees above
zero. Two months later even
40 below was not so cold that
they had to be kept in the
house.
One consequence of their out
door naps-four hours long
on most winter days and of
course continued all through the
spring has been particularly
admirable in their case. They
were so tiny at birth that they
have had a great deal of weight
to make up.
We found, on the other hand,
that trying to persuade them to
take more food than they really
wanted did not work well and
tended to make them torpid.

a son of 10. WIDOW"
A generation ago social GUS
tom dictated exactly what kind
Of mourning we should wear and
how long we should wear it..
Now this is all changed and the
wearing of mourning is prac-
tically a matter of personal de-
cision, gagged in some degree
by the customs of the commu-
nifty.
Some people feel that the
wearing of mourning is COM
fort and a protection, and a fit
ting mark of Difference to the
dead. Others believe that the
wearing of mourning is depress-
ing to themselves and to others.
The period of wearing mourn
ing for a husband varies from
one to two years, and a widow,
if she wishes, often wears it
for a longer period.
But if mourning is worn,
there are certain social restric-
tions placed upon the wearer.
Social engagements, such as
dinners, dances, theater parties,
are not accepted during this
period. A quiet luncheon, a
matinee, a dinner with a few
intimate friends are permissible.
Most people need diversion at
this time, and therefore should
lead a normal, active life,
keeping up with their friends
and with their interests. But,
on the other hand, a widow
with two children of the age
of yours, would have to exer-
else special care and discretion
about accepting invitations to
go out alone with men friends,
especially during a period of
mourning.
It would be in best taste,
when a man asks you to go
out, for you to arrange to have
him and another couple per
haps, to dine with you in your
home. However, all of these
things are personal matters
that you, yourself, must decide,
keeping in mind always your
own reactions and appear
ances" to your friends and to
your community.
Many people, even in deep
mourning, do not use mourn
ing paper, since plain white
paper is in as good taste.
Since you do use mourning
paper land, of course, it is
thoroughly correct to do this)
you would use it as long as you
wear mourning.
ANNOUNCING THE DATE
''Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
my fiance and I have been
engaged for almost two years,
and expect to be married late
in August. We intend to be-
married at the parsonage, at
tended by another couple. Then
we will leave Immediately on our
honeymoon.
els it correct for my parents
to announce in July the engage
ment and the date of our mar
riage. Should this be done even
If you do not intend to have a
formal wedding?
"IS it correct for my parents
to send announcements to our
and his, when we are
being married in this way?
DOROTHY"
If you and your fiance have
been secretly engaged, then it
is proper for your parents to
make this announcement in
July, naming the date of your
wedding. But, of course, if your
friends have known about your
engagement, this announcement
is not in order. The making of
this announcement does not de-
pend on the type of wedding
you are to have-the important
fact is the marriage ceremony,
not the type of wedding.
Yes.

Victims of Flood
Tell Tales of
Death, Rescue

ITHACA, N. Y, July 9 Q.N.S0
Tales of death, heroic rescues,
destruction, illness and financial
ruin were told here today in the
wake of the greatest disaster in
Tompkins county'S history-a
flood which has cost at least IL
lives in the county and caused
property damage estimated at
more than two million dollars.
Jesse Solomon, of Myers, 10 miles

from bridge over Sagman Creek

ing roar of the water as it came
down through the rocky gorge
and leaped to safety but my rel
ativeS were not SO fortunate"
James Donohue, who has a cot
tage along the west shore of
Cayuga Lake, related how a group
of lakeside residents, forgetting
their own difficulties during the
deluge that sent tons of rocks
and water into their cottages and
tore them apart, ran to the Le-
high Valley Railroad, a half mile
away, to flag the Buffalo New
York night express.
He said:
LED by two Cornell Univer-
sity professors, the party flag
ged the train with lanterns
about 100 yards before it reached
a gully where a bridge abutment
had washed away. Only the
rails were hanging over the
ravine $50 feet Deep"
Lying on his cot in the Cornell
University drill hall where 400
homeless are quartered, 15.year-
old Steve Fedorka told how he,

four smaller brothers and sisters,
had to climb to the third floor of
their home for safety.

cipal divided between Justice
