EMBARRASSING
''Dear Miss Fairfax:

eve are not exactly engaged,
but have what is known as an
understanding. If he gets a raise
in his salary, we intend to be
married. 1t seems queer to me
that his family have never called
on me or taken any notice of me
whatever, yet they know / go with
him because they have seen us to-
gether at the theater, club dances
and other places of amusement.
"Shall / cut the GOrdian knot,
and call first?
"PERPLEXED."
Recognition should always come
from the mans family to the girl
he is squirting. And if this has
not come to date, it might be in
terpreted that they do not regard
the boys attention to you as seri-
Gus, or perhaps they think he is
too young, or there may be some
other reason why they do not
wish to put the stamp Of their
approval on your friendship.
Under the circumstances, 1t
might be embarrassing for you to
call.

House Coat

inexpensive luxury is achieved
by a house coat of fine flannel in
black, cut with surplice bodice and
slightly trained skirt. The fabric
is held at the waist by a wide belt
made of variouS-hued feathers,
picked out in gold thread. A clip
and bright slippers would make
this ideal for an intimate dinner.

Invitations to
Shower

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
zone of my best friends is to
be married, and I want to give her
a china shower.
"HOw many days before the
shower should 1 send the invita-
tiOnS?
How should I let the guests
know where her china is pur-
chased?
What would you suggest serv-
ing? III"
Two weeks or 10 days before the
shower is a good time to send the
invitations.
In the invitation give this in
formation about the store, saying
that this department at the store
has the list and this will wisely
prevent Implications.
If your shower is to be in the
afternoon, a tea-menu is the ap-
propriate one to serve: tea, with
perhaps coffee as an alternative
(this is very much done nova
days.; tea biscuits or toasted
scones or bricche, small cakes,
or slices of fruit cake, or layer
cakes. If you wish to, add a
salad, perhaps a fruit salad. And
accessories to nibble, salted nuts,
candied, crystallized orange or
grapefruit peel.

HERE'S a new idea for New
III Years Eve-an aid to serv-
ing drinks. It's a set of Fisk
Freezers," with which you chill
your drinks without diluting them.
They are a combination 'ice" and
muddler, or stirrer. and are gay
and colorful, as they are filled
with liquid, which is in different
colors. Here's what you do! Re
move the grid from an ice cube
tray, and put the freezers in the
tray. Let them freeze, as you
would water for ice. When you're
ready to serve, mix your drink and
put one freezer in each glass. Use
it to stir the drink, and at the
same time, it will chill the cock
tail without the dilution you get
from putting in. crushed ice or ice
cubes. When you've finished with
them, you can put them back to
freeze again-they can be used
an indefinite number of times.
They come nicely boxed, a set of
four for 81, and they make ideal
gifts, as well as useful gadgets
for your own home.

The Salmon Greek bridge on the

by M. D. Williams, District En-

least week before temporary
structure can be erected to tide
over the emergency, he said, due
to trouble in getting materials to
the site
The slide at the west end of the
structure has been cleared away
but the old slide above the bridge
which filled the creek channel and
sent the torrent out over the road

touched, although B. P. r. crews
have cut channel for the water

RUBY-KUSKOKWIM
MINERAL REPORT
IS JUST ISSUED

The Ruby Kuskokwim region lies
in the West-Central Alaska, between
the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers.
Gold was discovered in this region
in 1906, and most of the placer
mining camps located during the
following 10 or II years are = still
producing gold. These camps, from
north to south, are in the Ruby,
Cripple, Ophior, Tolstoi, Nixon Ford,
McGrrath, Iditarod, and George
town districts.
Gold lodes were discovered in the
Nixon Fork district in 1918 and
have since been mined continuously
Other gold lodes have been found
in the Ophiir. and Iditarod districts,
and silver-lead ores have been pros
pected in the Ruby district, but
none of these lodes have been COM
mercially productive.
Cinnabar ores in the Georgetown
district have been known for many
years and have been mined inter-
mittently since 1906.
A report on the mineral deposits
of the Ruby Kuskokwim region,
Alaska, by j. r. Martie, Jr., has
been issued by the United States
Geological Survey, Department. OF

history of their development, and
the status of mining at the time the
survey was made. The report gives
also summary of the general geol-
/ ogy adequate for an understanding
of the history and character OF
