Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

by Mrs. Cornelius BeeckERdH
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have been invited to spend
a week with some friends in
New York, and a few questions
have arisen
/. When they take me to din,
ner, or to the theater, or per-
haps to a dance, should they
pay my share, or should I offer
to pay my share and do it?
2. I shall want to treat them
while there. How often should
this be done and what should
1t be?
1. For the visit Of a week,
you are their guest. and, as
hosts, they plan the entertain
ment, and pay for all the details
involved in that entertainment.
BUT
2. You are thoroughly right
IN your point of view that you
can and should plan to be host
eSs to them at a party while you
are visiting them. The point
Is that you should first make
this most definite. For instance,
when they take you to dine or
to the theater or to a dance,
you shouldn't offer to pay your
share of these entertainments.
But it is easy and gracious for
you, when you have made up
your mind what kind of enter.
tainment your party is to be,
to say, "You have been so lovely
and generous in your plans for
my happiness, now may I plan
a party, please? I liked so
much that restaurant at which
we dined the other evening.
Won't you be my guests there
on Thursday, and afterward per-
haps you'd like to go to a play"
Make it all very definite, get
your tickets ahead of time, take
the budget" details into your
own hands. and gaily carry
through paying for everything.
How often it should be done
depends on the Importance Of
the party you plan. One gen.
erously-planned party would,
for the week, be enough, would
show your appreciative inten-
tions, would show that you are
a generous-minded guest.

During the past few years
those who write fashions and
beauty can safely use the stock
phrase, "Slim lines are in
vogue" We know now that the
robust figure and style are far
apart. Every new and attrac.
tive model seems to be designed
especially for the slender girl,
so there is really nothing to do
but bow to fashions edict and
reduce.
There are so many attractive
ways to reduce now, it is almost
a pleasure. Nearly all of the
better class beauty salons have
their departments where one
can go and take off pounds or
inches, as desired. Then some
of the large department. stores
afford this service, which en-
ables any woman or girl to in
clude the reducing time in her
regular shopping days. We have
investigated many Of them and
can assure you they can do
what they claim.
You must know, however,
there is no reason to expect to
lose If we continue to eat the

HE IS QUITE A BIT OLDER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Nearly a year ago I met a
very lovely girl, and I've fallen
in love with her. She thinks
quite a lot of me, so she says.
We are a congenial couple and
agree on all important mat
tiers. When I first met her, I
imagined she was about % or %
years old, and now I've found
out she is only %. I'm 36, so
that makes me IA years older
than she is. This botherS me.
AS I've remained single all these
years, I hesitate to take this
step. Do you think I am too
old for her? Please answer in
all fairness to myself and the
girl. B. R. M.
You tell me your tastes are
congenial and you agree on i'm
portant matters. Therefore, I
don't think the difference in
your ages of any consequence.
Some Of the happiest Of mar
riageS have taken place where
the man is older and past the
crudities and awkwardness Of
early youth. OF course. when a
bachelor permits himself to be-
come cranky and selfish, that's
another story. But that doesn't
seem to be the case with you.
Best Of wishes to you.

Advice
By Beatrice Fairfax

nEAR Miss Fairfax:
held a position as chaut-
feur for my wife for tyo years
before we were married. She was
a widow, is thirteen years older
than I am, and her husband,
who was well-to-do, had been
dead a long time before 1 drove
her car. Now that we are mar
ried, she seems to have de-
veloped a close side, as she does
not pay me any salary, or give
me enough money to repleniSh
my wardrobe.
When I mentioned this to her,
she turned over to me several
trunks full of clothes belong
ing to her deceased husband
and told me could have them
altered to fit and she would pay
the bill. I just don't like the
idea of wearing No. is clothes,
and as my wife is very jealous,
I have been considering leaving
her and looking for work some
where else.
Do you know if I have any
grounds for divorce?
WILLIAM.
AS divorce laws vary in the
48 States I always suggest to
correspondents that they consult
a lawyer or go to the Legal Aid
Society, or its equivalent. You
haven't asked my opinion OF
your marriage, but a young man
marrying a lady 13 years older
than he is, especially when he
was in her employ, lays him
self open to the charge that the
marriage, on his part, was not
distinterested.

BILL ASKS LOCAL
REPRESENTATION
Andrews Measure Also Pro-
poses Votes for Presi.
dent.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Proposals to give the disenfranchised
residents Of the National Capital vot-
ing representation in the House and
in the election of President and Vice
President, and to make the senior
Representative from the District the
chairman of the House District Com
mittee, with jurisdiction over all legis-
lation affecting this area, were made
yesterday by Representative Andrews,
Republican, Of New York, who intro
duced two resolutions toward those
ends.
Representative Andrews is a Prince
ton University graduate, had war serv-
ice on the Mexican border and in
France, where he was wounded in
action, received the D. s. c., and was
a supervisor in the 1880 census.
He has for some time had the
opinion that the House membership
is too large and unwieldy, and that
most Of the work in the House is done
by relatively small number Of men,
bers-about 80 to 100-while the rest
attend to routine matters for their
constituents and vote as their party
dictates.
In support of his opinions. he intro
duced a bill for a reapportionment in
the House after the next decennial
census in 1940-believing this would
allow plenty of time for consideration
by the voters. The reapportionment
would be applied in the 1912 congress
sional election, with each State en-
titled to one Representative for each
100000 citizens. or major fraction
thereof, with the exception that each
State and the District, considered as
a State. would have at least one Rep
reduce the size Of the House member
ship from 435 to about 245.
His second resolution for a consti-
'tutional amendment would extend the
right of suffrage to the people of the
District on the same basis as State
Except that he made no proposal for
District representation in the Senate).
Representative Andrews proposes as
o lICAt StP w AldfE ddOPVCd AlCW
rule which would be a standing rule
in the House. making the senior Rep
resentative from the District chair
man of the House District Committee.
Thus the Representative from the
District would be presumed to UNDER
stand the legislation most desired by
his constituents and would be in
position to guide the District Commit
tee in considering this legislation in
preference to any suggested by men,
bers from other States which might
be antagonistic to the real wishes Of
the District residents.
Representative Andrews admits
frankly he has little hope Of getting
favorable action on his bills at this
time, but wishes to get them before
the people of the country, with view
eventually to bringing about lust
treatment for the residents Of the
National CAPITAL"

compared with other metropolitan
cities. Although it generally has been
agreed by the judges, he said, that
the plan should apply only in de-

they know they can use the easy

Representative Luecke Of Michigan
Mr.. Chairman, this is most vicious
piece Of legislation. 1t is not a blow
at communism, but rather 1t Is an act
to curb democracy. 1t has the oppo-

of legislation Is that, like everything
else, it will grow, one way or the other.
and in the end we will have amend
ments attached to it prohibiting free
speech and free assemblage and free
press.

Mr.. Chairman, my State. Michigan.

law against the teaching Of commu-
nism in our schools. But say to you
on the floor of this House that Michi-
gan today regrets that that law was
ever passed, for 1t has done more to
foster communism in the State OF
Michigan than all the propaganda the
Communists have at their command.
At the present time in the State Of
Michigan efforts are being made to
repeal this law. and I predict the re-
peal will be accomplished.

Mr.. Chairman. it is exceedingly doubt

was interrupted by police last night
after the would-be thief had pushed
the 500-pound vault from an Office to
the rear of the ground floor.
The incident marked the fourth
time the establishment has been en-
tered by robbers in the last four
years and the third time the safe
has been damaged. Two years ago
the vault was cracked, but the man
who did the job now is serving time
for robbery. according to William Nc
Laughlin, manager.
The first attempt to loot the safe
occurred three years ago. The in
truder in this case also was appre-
hended before he could get the vault
open.
In the latest robbery attempt a
passerby heard the man, who had
entered through front window, as
he clumsily applied the torch to the
safe. When Detective Sergts. Joseph

they reported, they found Harold
