INTO college foot ball days. when We
ehrieked ourselves hoarse over some
leees-and missed most of what the
rest of the players were doing.
As q matter Of fact, that wasn't so
bad. We usually went to the game
attended by a substitute for our num-
Der one boy, If he was occupied on the
aeld, or with our real number one boy
If he was a non-player. He lost good
deal of glamour, during the process Of
the game. but We always got a big
kick out of the hero Of the hour,
sentimental mood, whereby our escort
profited.
MUCH OF the time we didn't really
understand the game. Oh, OF
course there was always the super
smart girl who yelled advice that
sounded horribly scientific and an

euted. We rather envied her. but
noticed that, as general rule. she
was accompanied by feminine friend.
rather than by a stalwart member of
the sterner sex. This, remember. was
IN the days when 1t seemed to be the
best policy to be beautiful but dumb.
We occasionally got slapped down
metaphorically speaking-by our es-
eorts for speaking out of turn, and
asking stupid questions. But as a
rule We could make up for it by care
fully figuring out which side the
people we're yelling for-and yell with
them at the right moment. Then our
proud and excited companion would
think We were real sports and all for
the old university just as he was. Once
or twice We made a mistake. and yelled
for the wrong party-and that was
awful. We got glared at, and told
about 1t in no uncertain terms. After

If possible. will you list the pieces.
Answer: It Ia impossible for one
person to make a practical list for
another person unless one knows how
many people are to be served and the
menus likely to be chosen. All china
and department stores sell sets of
course, and many people buy them
because whole set Ia usually less
expensive than the same number of
pieces bought separately. On the
other hand, most Of us And In xnh

enough Of those which We really need.
This therefore should be taken ir to
confederation when thinking the
price cheap. The thing to do is to
make your own typical menus first
and decide on the number Of people
you are likely to entertain, and then
buy your china accordingly. If 4
set that you like happens to contain

W1TH the first days Of Autumn
here every one Is returning
home after wonderful Summer vaca-
tions refreshed for the gay social life
Of the Capital, which is just about
ready to start. Warrington Ia the
crossroads Of the United States; peo-
pie come from all over the world and
are thrown into social whirl which
many OF them have never before ex-
perienced.
The social pitfalls that one can
stumble into are numerous; no matter
in what circle you may move, eti-
quette rules in the Capital are strictly
adhered to, and any one not knowing
the way may f1nd themselves In 90
cial dif'iculties, due to some small
error.
Washington Is more like European
city. where one must attend many
formal functions in one day. Some
times you will wish that you could
work little magic and save yourself
4 lot Of time and energy The only
way to do 1t ia to take your calendar
Of social engagements for the day
and carefully figure out what time
you must leave one AFFAIR TO reach
the next on time. Then, before you
start out from home make certain that
you have 4 watch that runs properly
and keeps good time. Don't be one
OF these people that inquiries the time
At 5-minute intervals Of every un-
suspectins soul that has remembered
her watch for her own use NOT
yours.
Then there Is the little matter Of
callins-what hours-what days-how

You should always pay your party
calls promptly. whether you have 4
car on not-there Is no excuse except
illness, for your cards must be LETT

OF call at an embassy or legation. it
should be done within three days-

The matter Of Answering invitations
is one that drives most hostesses to
despair. unless you send your reply
Immediately. It only takes 4 few
minutes, As there il 4 standard form
that never varies. &c. remember that
your answer should be In the mail

that we were more careful than ever.
We sat through hours OF cold misery,
clutching a pennant. A feather in our
hat, an appropriate flower on our coat,
and watched the field before us with
total incomprehension. What the
players were trying to do was a
complete mystery to us. Why they
changed goal posts we never under
stood-in fact. it always threw us all
over again. just as We had about made
up our minds that the men with their
backs to one goal were trying to keep
the ones with their faces to 1t away.
We never saw much Of the ball. except
when it was kicked-that was probably
our only real thrill OF the afternoon.
There was lots of fun between the
halves, of course, but that was mostly
like any parade, and the music not as
good!
that is all over for us
now With this highly perfected
kind of foot ball that is going around
these days. we've really got to learn
something about it or be left At home
with the dog We can't depend on
school spirit" to carry us along.
We can't just sit and wait until the
right side is cheered 40 we can join it
it's not so easy to know just where
we're at as it was when we could see
which color pennant was waving the
highest. And the plays are so swift
and technical that If We don't know
enough to gasp with admiration at
what ordinarily seems just 4 blur Of
people doing something in an awful
hurry We might as well apply for 4
seat in the old ladies' homes.
There are only two things to do.

rules. plays and 20 on, and 20 to the
games prepared to apply what we've
read to the actual game That takes
a good deal Of time, and the season
may we'll be over before we have
mastered even the fundamentals. The
alternative is to get some man that we
don't care about being popular with and
victimize him into explaining every
play as it Is executed. This won't last
long, because either he will be run out
Of the stands by his neighbors as an
nuisance. or he will put
a gag on us and wash his hands Of US
forever. So. II We choose this method
Of learning about foot ball well have
to work fast.
But the fact remains that from now
on We'll have to know our foot ball
from to z. Beautiful but dumb"
won't work for US any more, and the
sooner We get wise to the fact the
quicker we'll get taken down oil the
shelf!
