Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

OcdF WIS DceCkmduS
Recently / went to a dance
with my young man friend and
another couple. At the dance l
happened to sit next to the other
girl in our group Of four. AS the
orchestra began to play, an old
friend of mine, a young man 1
used to attend dances with d
great deal, asked me to dance. 1
do not think he knew my boy
friend at all. l said Yes and
turned to my boy friend and said:
You won't mind. will yOu?' He
answered, of course not.
"After the dance we had an ar
gument and he told me that
should have told this young man
to ask him if / might dance. 1
didn't think that was necessary
under the circumstances. Am
right?
IF another young man asks
me to dance, am 1 supposed to
say, ASK my boy friend or am
1 within my rights when 1 say,
You won't mind if 1 dance with
this friend, will you? "P."
Your boy friend is evidently a
stickler for convention, and &C
cording to the conventional form

you can roll them inside out and
put them in your purse. They are

'ula, you would have introduced the
arriving.partner to your partner
for-the-evening. Of the other girl
and man did not know the arriv-
ing-partner, you would have made
these introductions, too Then,
after the prospective partner had
asked you for the dance, and you
had accepted, he would have said
the do you mind?" to your even
ing-partner.
However, asking for dance in
these days has become so casual
that most of this ceremony" is dis

has come to the dance with a spe-
cial partner, as you did, it is polite
for the man asking-for-the-dance to
make some kind of a bow or &C.
acknowledgement to the girls part
ner. Apparently you did not make
it easy for him to do this, since
you make no mention of introduc-

Beauty
Guard Against
Dust
BY DONNA GRACE

Our household activities grow
more and more strenuous as spring
taps arily at our windows and
boldly exposes every dingy inside
Granny to the bright light Of the
April sun. With commendable
energy, every household begins a
spring drive of housekeeping, and
many of us join in from force Of
habit in a sort Of traditional eX-
element.
It is just as we'll to be prepared
for the ravages through which we
must pass before we see, the job
well done.
The usual custom Of working
without a girdle and wearing
flimsy undergarments, we believe
should be changed to one that
calls for a well-clothed body.
The head should be protected.
We still like the good old bandanna
it is ideal to cover up an oil ap-
plication that you should have on
the scalp and hair. Use castor
oil, olive oil or oil of sweet al.
mondS, but only a light sponging
of the oil because you are going to
leave it on for a few days or until
you are through with the busting.
Then, a few good soapings will re-
move the oil and you will be de-
lighted with the lovely soft fluff
ness of your hair. A lemon rinse
will give it smoothneSs.
Cover your face and neck with
an oily cream to keep the dust out
of the pores. A powder founda-
ton and face powder will help too,
but if you have an oily skin, just
cleanse it we'll by washing with
soap and water. After rinSing it,
cover the face and neck with a
generous busting Of this powder
mixture:
/ teaspoonful of boracic acid
powder
teaspoonful Of face powder.
Your hands, as you have always
found, fare the worst. They seem
to be into everything. You must
wear gloves, but you will need
help in restoring them to q nice
white smooth texture again. My
Hand Treatment will do this for
you. So you may as well send for
it. There is no charge, but please

DR.. Bruno thinks marriage is
not a refuge for those who want
to have an easy time. Neither is
it a place for the emotionally in
fantile, who pity themselves in
every little crisis and want to run
home to Mama.
It is the spoiled boy or girl,
usually an only child around whom
the family life circled, he says,
who makes a bad job Of matri-
mony.
TANTRUMS
Daughter is amazed to discover
that her so-called attacks Of
nerves." otherwise tantrums, do
not produce the same effect in the
new home as in the old. The young
husband is likely to return temper
for temper and tantrum for tan
trum, which decides the bride to
pack her suitcase and return to
Mama, who really understands"
her.
This Is where the mother-in-law
trouble begins. But Mama, having
spoiled her daughter from the be-
ginning, doesn't realize that. In
stead of sending her back to home
and husband, she sympathizeS,
and turns out daughters favorite
dessert.
Likewise, Sonny Boy, who was
too young to marry anyhow, just
can't be made to realize that there
are such things as rent, meals,
clothes when the trouSseau gets
shabby, and Grade "a" milk for
the baby. At first he takes his
troubles to the tavern" and when
his money is gone he, too, goes
back to Mama, who listens Sympa-
thetically to his troubles and
broils him a steak.
These pampering in-laws have
given the entire clan Of husbands
and wives relations a bad name.
But in.laws in general, as Pro
lessor Bruno affirms, are "a far
more salutary influence than COM
monty supposed, and as a general
rule have a certain outside per-
spective on marriage which is
highly beneficial"
LESS IMPORTANT
Contrary to the prevailing be-
lief, this educator thinks:
"The physical basis for marriage
has been much exaggerated. In
wide studies" he says, 81 have
never yet known Of an absolutely
sure case Of marriage failure
through physical incOmpatibility."
The good husband or wife gets
his or her training for marriage in
early childhood, DR.. Bruno says.
Marriage classes for adults would
seem, therefore, to be less impor-

the young man would have taken
his cue from this. and would have
said his, do you mind?"
Without this introduction, how
could your new partner have
known or sensed that you had a
special partner for the dance?
In the future, make the neces-
sary introductions and give the
new partner the cue as have sug-
gested above. Then. if you make
the appropriate word-gesture to
your hoy friend, the other young
man will too. I am inclined to
think that what your boy friend is
hurt about is that you did not

If the witnesses at your wedding
