Simple Device Is Used
By Hostess to Send
Guests Home
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: When my
~ husband and I ask another couple
In to play bridge in the evening who
should suggest that we stop the game
have never thought it quite polite
for the hostess to, and yet some
people stay on into the night.
Answer-Accordin to etiquette q
hostess may not suggest to a visitor
that it is time for her (or him) tc
70 home. But she may suggest aftel
q reasonable time that they stop play
ing in order to have something te
eat. Even this maneuver can fai
when bridge players are Unsuitable
but a hostess should know which o!
her friends are to be invited only
when she and her husband are willing
to stay awake late.
Dear Mrs. Post: have heard the
word toastmistress used when speak
ing of a woman chairman. Isn't II
proper to say "toastmaster" for both
men and women?
Answer-Yes, either term is proper
although toastmaster is usually ap-
piled to both. On the other hand
o woman chairman Is always called
Nine. Chairman"

relatives and friends. There are
many others shall hate to hurt by
having to omit them, which could per-
haps be avoided If the announce
ments included in some way the fact
that I couldn't send anything else.
Answer-There Is no way that ]

you see and write notes to distant
friends. It would be impossible to
include this explanation In the en-
graved form.
Dear Mrs. Post: When two ladies

boy would like to know Just what Is
expected Of him in the way Of show
ing both Of them courtesy in holding
their chairs.
Answer-If he Is the son of one Of
them he would help the other. Other
wise, he helps the older lady and
then hurries to the second one, who
will probably by that time have taken
her place without waiting. A very
courteous lady, who notices that he

stories from which all excitement
and romance have been removed. I
remember once, some years ago. a
feminine book agent caught me url-
swares and was fully launched on her
sales talk before I could stop her.
Eer selling point for the publication
which she represented was that every
DIT of material the series of books con-
tained had been carefully reviewed
and censored: that all illusions to
poverty. war, wrongdoing. punish
ments, animals that talked or be-
haved like humans, illness, death, or
sorrow had been removed.
naturally inquired what on earth
could be left to make up the contents
Of fifteen books.
She replied that there was plenty,
and that the stories all concerned
children who behaved like angels and
to whom no misfortunes ever came.
Pretty deadly, that. To begin with. I
don't believe that one child out of one
hundred would be interested in such
weak fare for long-and II they were,
what would they have learned that
would benefit them in any way?
Ducking reality has never done any
body any good. Children Of today
are thrown more and more in contact
with the bad realities Of nfe-perhaps
If they were given more Of the old
standards by which to steer their
course. later on they could meet in
evitable trouble with harder spirit.
It is only by "precept upon precept

learn what TO do under certain con-

The Old Gardener Saws /:

As q rule, peonies suffer from
lack of moisture more than they
do from lack Of fertilizer. Water
Is exceedingly important through
the month of June. If Nature
does not provide . sufilcient sup
ply. artificial watering is neces-
sary. This Is . fact frequently
overlooked. but its importance
will be understood when the
statement is made that the plants
start forming their underground
buds Immediately after they have
finished blooming. II one should
dig away the earth at the top Of
the crowns many little white
fingers would be seen starting
into growth. It Is obvious, then,
that water Is required to make
the plant food in the soil avail
able to the roots. without water
there viii be smaller buds and .
corresponding weakness of stems
the following season. II water
cannot be given, constant culti-
vation Is the next best thing.
But, for that matter, peonies need
to be cultivated frequently, re-
gardless of other conditions.

so much. We know that nothing much
awaits us in the future. What was
in us to do, we have done, and it
wasn't so hot. And so if we have no
children we have no keen interest in
the future.
But II we have children we still
have stake in the game. What we
haven't done we expect them to do.
Where we have failed we look to them
to succeed. We live again in them
and 1t keeps us keyed up, alert and
young ourselves.
Furthermore, our children's tri-
umphs are sweeter to us than any Of
our own ever were. No man boasts
Of his own success as he does Of his
sons. No woman was ever as vain Of
her own beauty as she is of her
daughters. So children pay just be-
cause they are a fountain OF per-
petual youth to their parents.
DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: While I
was on a vacation my husband
went out with a man friend and his
girl friend. The man had suddenly TO
leave town and he suggested to my
husband to finish up his date with the
girl by taking her to night club with
some other people. This my husband
did. He did not tell me of this until I
found it out accidentally and he seems
10 think should not care about II be-
cause he did not make date with the
girl and stayed only a short while at
the night club, and they were with
friends who went with him to take
her home We have never had the
agreement that either could go about
with others as my husband is exceed
ingly jealous Of attentions paid me
by other men. What should do about
this? PERPLEXED.
Answer-Nothing. Forget 1t. You
are being silly and narrow-minded
and jealous without any reason what
ever.
Your husband has done nothing
that any gentleman wouldn't have
done under the circumstances, and for
him TO have refused to take the girl
to the night club, when asked to do
so by her escort, would have been
boorish in the extreme.
II you are so suspicious OF your
husband that you are afraid even to
have him show a common social
courtesy to girl. and your husband
gets green-eyed if q man speaks to
you, it seems to me that you are sigu-
larly lacking in respect for each other.
AS for trying to watch a husband
or wife, that is folly. Even the closest
espionage breaks down and if a hus-
band or wife wants to deceive. he or
she will find the opportunity to do it.

cushions and white trim. The other
chair is Of black rattan using white
cushions smartly trimmed with red
buttons, in tufted effect. Fortunately
the old prejudice against red in Sum-
mer decoration has disappeared, for
when combined with black, white and
cool gray, it serves merely as the bright
touch or emphasis much as does the
poppy IN an old-fashioned bouquet.
Useful round table Is Of white rat
tan. with stripes Of black. strongly
built to take care Of an Hospitality
laden tray. There Is nicely balanced
effect in the arrangement Of the tables
at the ends Of the sofa. part of nest
Of three, of unusual interest-in white
wood trimmed in black, with mirrored
tops, giving a charming effect. This
is also carried out In the gay little
lamps; the urn shaped pedestals have
q base Of antique brass and the bell
shaped shades Of white taffeta at
smartly.
The standing lamp IS also white,
with the same type Of ornament and
similar shade of silk. In room OF
this type 1t Is wise to have the acces-
sories vary in character from the rest
of the room, for in that way note Of
contrast and interest Is given. The
smoking stand, practical enough to
suit the most exacting man, is Of a
black, shtney composition with chro-
MUM trimmings.
1t Is difficult for me to restrain my
enthusiasm in describing the two at
tractive rattan stands placed at each
side of the room and the fan-shaped
wall basket over the sofa. The stands
are filled with large sprays Of yellow
flowers that give the room an cir OF
charm and gayety and the tvy-f1lled
basket makes q perfect background
for the sofa and lamps.
Nothing, to my mind. makes more
for happiness and contentment than
surroundings that are pleasing. After
a day filled with irritations that seem
magnified by the Summers heat, 1t Is
good to look forward to o quiet eve
ming spent in such Q peaceful haven

GOOD evening, Mrs. Cooley"
why. good evening, Ralph.
Won't you come in? Alfred isn't in
Just now, but"
mo, thank you. I came to tell
you, Mrs. Cooley, that Al borrowed
q quarter from me last month and
I can't get it back from him"
what? AL borrowed money from
you and didn't pay 1t back? That
will never do. III give you the quar-
ter this minute, and please don't ever
lend him money again. Boys ought
not to borrow money"
"Yes'm, but he said he needed it
and"
81 know, know. But it is a
mistake to give any boy money. no
matter what. Thank you very much
and I hope this never happens again" :"
"Yes'm. Thank you. hope
good-by. And Ralph stumbled down
the steps and hurried away. He was
greatly embarrassed. but he had to
have that quarter, for his father was
very strict about his allowance and
his accounts. Never again does he
get a cent from me-" he muttered.
Dead beat"
When Alfred arrived home his
mother at once asked him what he
meant by borrowing money and not
returning It. He had an allowance
and that ought to be enough. why
did you borrow money!"
81 had spent mine. You wouldn't
give me any more until the next
week and I had to have it"
"You didn't have to have 1t. You
could have waited, or you could have
thought ahead and provided yourself.
This Is the third or fourth complaint
I've had about your borrowing and
not returning. You're getting q bad
reputation for dishonesty"
I'm not dishonest"
Borrowing without intending to
return it is dishonesty. It's cheating.
It's taking money you have no right
to and that's simply another way Of
stealing.
That's the trouble with you. You've
gotten into the habit Of calling things
by pretty names, no matter how ugly
they really are. There's just one
name for this business, stealing. And
you're going to stop 1t. This is the
last cent pay for you. II you borrow
again, you pay. The quarter I gave
Ralph Is coming out Of this weeks
allowance. # you owe any more, my
advice to you b to get busy and
earn the money to pay it."
Alfred made q couple of mistakes
afterward, but when he had to pay
his debts out Of his allowance, earn
money to make good his shortage,
he stopped borrowing. This borrow
ing habit ought to be checked In the
beginning, when the little ones start
asking for the loan of this toy, or
Of that one, from their playmates,
Teach them to do with what they
have or 60 without.
Going without teaches them to use
this ingenuity and initiative to gain
their ends instead of taking the short
cut and borrowing. Borrowing has
too many unhappy implications to
be safe.

Gated homes, much of the chill
dren's education took place in the
evenings, after early dinner, when
father or grandfather sat In his
great chair, where the rays of the
kerosene lamp fell upon his book,
and read to all the children, and to
mother, peacefully sewing on the
other side of the table. In those days
books to be books had to be well
written, and to have definite mes
sage to convey-no trash was tolerated
and the so-called French novels"
were banned from righteous house.
holds.
THROUGH the medium Of the
printed page and the sonorous
tones of the paternal voice the adoles-
cent minds absorbed romance, adven-
ture, craftsmanship, religion, the
Golden Rule. and the mighty prin-
ciple of cause and effect. They
learned to know the heroiSm Of the
great men and women who have laid
perpetual paving stones along life's
highway, and to sorrow and rejoice
with the fates of kings and countries.
Here, too, they first gathered the
true beauty and value Of words; their
vocabularies expanded and grew rich,
and the subtle nuances Of clever
phrasing and perfectly chosen words
indelibly impressed their brains.
Because Of the power that books
and literature have on the growing
mind, parents cannot be too earnest
in their efforts to place within the
child's reach those articles Of print
that will do him the most good in
future life. There Is 50 much trash
flooding the market these days, con-
tanning poor drawings, poor English
and poorer plots, that, unless good
deal of wedding out" is done, most
II not all of the child's reading will
be harmful.
VERY few families now have the
time or the inclination to form a
flreside group for the purpose of hear
ing some one read aloud. In the new
homes of young couples there Is often
not much place for rows Of Outlook
ing books, and If such library does
exist, few children are ambitious
enough to tackle the dusty volumes
by themselves. Therefore, the lighter,
more gayly bound novel or juvenile
story becomes the popular literature
in the home and the old masters are
forgotten.
This is a great pity. Stop to think
how interviewer into your childhood
and daily life some Of the famous
characters are. They have become al
most unnoticed, because of long, close
intimacy, and, unless your child is
given their histories to read, he will
never acquire that sweet and charm
ing association. The movies are do
ing much to bring some Of our old
friends to life, for which they are to
be heartily commended. Through
them the classics are placed before
this younger generation in very palat-
able form.
TEACH your child to appreciate
- Dickens wonderful characteriza-
items through learning to know and
love the characters themselves. Ex-
plain to him why Dickens wrote the
books that he did, and what ultimate
good and reforms were effected be-
cause of them. This will give added
interest to the descriptions Of sordid
places and conditions, which, for the
very young, are apt to prove tiresome.

Answer-It Il certainly as serious q
matter to give life as 1t Is to take it,
and men and women should consider
long and thoughtfully what sort Of
chance they are giving a child before
they bring 1t into the world.
The least that parents can do for
their children Is to give them q fair
start In the world, to give them good
sound bodies and minds, and a re-
spectacle, decent, peaceful home in
which to grow up. This Is only giving
the youngsters square deal.
Always. and to every child, life will
be an adventure. fun of dangers and
difficulties through which he must
fight his way, and no provision of the
parents can safeguard him. Little
princes lose their crowns almost before
they are out of the cradle Baby mil
lionaires grow up to be paupers
Children reared in the gutter sit in the
seats of the mighty by the time they
are middle aged. Geniuses are born
in tenements. And so it goes. No man
knows what fate may befall his
children. And that is what makes life
interesting and exciting, and probably
no baby, If given its choice, would pre-
fer to come into a cut and dried world
no matter how safe.
As to your question whether 1t Is
worth while having children from the
parents standpoint, should say yes
II the parents are normal human
beings. Possibly people who are selfish
self-centered egotists do not find
children worth the trouble they cost
but most men and women get the
purest happiness they ever have out OF
their babies.
|OF COURSE, children like every
thing else worth having, come high
The mother goes through tortures to
bring them into the world and while
they are small she Is a slave to them
The father pays for them with work,
with sacrifice, by spending his spare
time pushing the perambulator instead
Of playing golf or pool In the average
household both the mother and the
father must deny themselves a thou
sand pleasures, thousand indulgences
in order that the children may have
