Courtesies.
BY EMILY POST.

YEAR MRS. PosT-Am I overscn-
sitiye at being shocked to receive
printed form from a local club I
belong to, which said, in effect. that
if I intended to resign they would
appreciate having notice of such in
tention before a certain date. since
the waiting list vas long. At the bot
tom OF the card was also printed the
Secretary's name and address.
Answer-If the letter had been writ
ten by hand-in other words, to you
personally-you would have had every
reason to resent it. But a printed
form that was obviously sent to all
members was. it seems to me, intended
merely to make sure that the club
would not fail in its yearly income.

Dear Mrs. Post-Last Fall some of
our friends visited us and at that
time pressed a very warm invitation
upon US to come 10 sec them this Sum-
mcr. We have not had any further
invitation from them since. AS We
are very eager to spend little time
with these friends now. would it be
taking advantage of them to write
and frankly ask whether it would be
convenient for them to have us, and
to mention a definite time?
Answer-This would depend entirely
upon how we'll you know these people.
Taking it for granted that they are
very intimate friends. it is quite all
right for you to write as you propose.

Dear Mrs. Post-When one is a
guest over a week end in the house
of people who never seem to go to
bed, could they consider it rude if
the guest herself suggested that she
would like to retire?
Answer-If you were for some spe-
cial reason staying in the house of
strangers, the hostess would be eX-
pected to make the move to 60 to bed
But even this is not too strictly OBJ
served. and if you were staying in
the house of a friend you would GER
tainly feel free to suggest going to
your room if the hour is reasonably
late. Of course. if company" has
been invited especially to meet YOU
you would have to stay up until the
last one had gone home.

Dear Mrs. Post If one is compelled
to go on a street car or public bus,
do you think it entirely unsuitable to
dress in evening clothes? 1t seems to
me that when it's either case Of
looking out Of place on the bus or
street car, where no one knows me, or
of looking out Of place in day clothes
at a party at which people are apt
to know me, the answer is obvious.
Answer-Certainly 60 on the street
car or bus in your evening clothes, al
though it would be we'll to have fair
ly long evening coat or wrap.

The Old Gardener Says:

Late July is a good time to
divide the tall bearded irises, al
though the work need not be hur-
ried. No harm is done if the
division of these irises is not
made until the latter part of
August. Early August is prob
ably the best time for setting out
plants obtained from distant
points, which means that orders
should be placed Immediately.
The irises in this group are those
commonly spoken of as German
irises. They are the easiest to
handle of all the iris group. not
suffering if the roots are allowed
to become very dry at this season.
They are usually shipped with
but little protection. Neverthe-
less, if they cannot be planted
Immediately, they should be
heeled in so that the roots will
not become dried out to any
greater extent than is necessary.

Hairdressing With Bows.

At the opening of one of the
smarter Long Island beach clubs, the
different styles of hairdress affected
by debutantes were outstanding be-
cause of their originality and be-
comingnesS. One lovely girl in a
voluminous white frock had white
lace bows perched on either side of
her head. The lace had been
starched, tied into perky little bows
and impaled on bobby pins. These
did double duty, giving her an alto
gether charming and quaint coiffure,
and keeping her stray locks in place.

;hes Form Foundation of Many Unusual Summer Desserts
Dorothy Dix Says
Nothing Kills Love More Quickly Than
an Overdose of the Couples Society.

Answer-Of course. the ideal thing
is for mother TO be able to give her
baby her personal attention, but thai
presupposes that the huyband is able
to make enough money to support his
family in comfort.
WHEN this is not the case and
when the mother has the ability
to make money outside of the home,
I think she can do much more for
her children by giving them a better
environment to be brought up in, bet
ter food to eat, better education and
better chance in life than she can
by putting on their didies with her
own hands and personally cooking
their spinach. So I think you will
be doing the right thing if you take
your job and hire a nurse to look
after the baby. After all, you will
be with it good part of the time.
In reality, there isn't very much
that anybody can do for baby except
to keep it clean and properly fed, and
this any other competent woman can
do as well as you can. Furthermore.
YOU will be better mother if you are
a happy prosperous. Contented bust
ness woman, making enough money
TO support your family comfortably,
than you would be if you we're a worm
out household drudge. so racked with
anxiety about where every penny was
coming from that you were peevish
and fretful and irritable. When your
baby is a grown girl she won't care
whether you held her hand or not
when she was baby, but she will be
mighty grateful to the hand that made
1t possible for her to have a place in
society.
DEAR MISS DIX: My wife and l
have been married for 80 years
and have got along very happily until
now, when dispute has arisen be-
tween us about where We shall be
buried. My wife, for personal reaso sons,
wants to be buried in her family lot.
I wish to be buried five miles aWay in
OtoutIAu4 lIlduSOItuII. Ole dDsO-
lutely refuses to consider being put
there. I cannot see my way to being
buried in her family lot. Now, should
I forfeit my wishes and be buried by
her side in her lot. or would it be all
right to be buried separately. each in
the spot We wish? What would people
think and say about it?
LEONARD.
AnsWer-After you are dead don't
think what people say about you will
be of much interest to you one way
or the other. Nor do I think it mat
ters where ones senseless body lies.
So entreat you not to spoil happy
married life by arguing over such a
silly matter. Why don't you compro-
mise by taking gambling chance
on the matter and leaving it to the
one who survives to select the burial
spot? If you Go. you stand a good
chance Of having your way, bec2u-o
with our hearts made tender b. grief
We pay far more attention to the
wishes of the dead than We do to the
living. DOROTHY DIX.

reason for being with this all girl

1.-The keeper of the nut house can't

around" Jack is a modest fellow We
were complimenting him on the way
the audience received their foolish
ness and he flipped: why shouldn't
we be goodbye use only the best
gags from the newest and best Broad
way shows" and Tom added YES,
what have they got that we can't
have?" and that's Tom Rollo and Jack
Kane-gag stealers who admit it and
yet with an original style of comedy
that is really refreshing.

famous for twenty years, are becom-

Alec Thrift, popular candidate for
the office of Commissioner of Happi-
ness was an easy winner over his OPP
ponent drudgery, and was swept into
office by an overwhelming majority at
the election held Friday night at the
court house, receiving one of the
largest votes ever recorded by can
didate for local office. His election
was attended by several hundred of
his supporters and we'll wishers, who
have worked hard in the campaign
and were happy to see their candidate
win out over great odds without
dissenting vote.
Mayor Irvine B. Watkins, chairman
of the board of elections, certified the
count turned in by the precinct hold
ers and awarded the $2350O in cash
prizes offered by Alec to holders of
lucky numbers. The lucky numbers
and amounts awarded were as follows:
No. 59637 received first prize of
$500, No. 1855 received second prize
of $4,000, No. 59783 received third
prize of $4,000, Nos. 5S831, 100765,

24524, 24676, 102265, 58253 1922 and
22118 received $500 each.
Alec was the candidate of Hender-
sons nine electrical appliance deal
ers, who have long been of the opin-
ion that there is too much drudgery
and unnecessary work in the home
and kitchen, and that instead of be-
ing a place of dread, that the home
should be the place of happiness, en-
joyment and contentment that it was
intended to be. With the election of
Alec to the office of Commissioner
of Happiness it is hoped that this
condition can be changed in the hun
dreds of homes in Henderson and
Vance county through the use of more
labor saving electrical appliances.
