'Dear Mrs Beeckman:
IL. Is It proper for . gentleman
to precede . woman getting off a
street car?

men, who should 90 first. when
going to . table In a restaurant?
"3. Who should 60 first when
walking into a theater, when the
seat is about the sixth seat in from
the aisle? 'T."
The man precedes the woman
as they get off street car. This
means that, as she is about to step
down from the car, he will be in
position to help her.
Usually the woman follows the
headwaiter as he leads them to a
table. must confess that l am
not very enthusiastic about this
custom, for I like very much the
idea of having the host go first,
tell the headwaiter his preferences
as to position of table, and follow
the headwaiter to see that he is
given the most desirable table.
However, in this case as in many
other similar circumstances (Such
as in a theater), the woman must
be alert to take her cue as to what
is the mans custom concerning
this. If, after he has said to the
headWaiter, "A table for three,
please" he steps aside to let her
go first. she should follow the
headwaiter.
The woman goes first into the
row in which the seats are located.

This is not as easy as it sounds,
however, for it is the point where

The third and most difficult
step starts the second layer of fat

Following the first month or so
of weight loss, there usually occurs
this interlude in which little or no
weight is lost. This should by no

You can get down to normal
weight. You are just beginning
for this is only the second of the

aged, even though you have lost
no appreciable amount of weight

Be prepared for a struggle at

Why is it that they can't think Of
a thing to say?
Well, partly because each one
is thinking about himself, about
his own feelings and shortcom-

herself, Look, the lad is embar-

talk about anything at all, just to

About who he thinks will be the
