Questions on
In Public
Man and Wife Walk
Together Down
Church Aisle.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Will you
please explain the proper course
for man to follow in this personal
situation, which is probably that ex-
isting in many other places as well.
In our church there are no ushers
and no pews assigned to the regular
use Of members. People choose their
own seats and consequently sit wher-
ever there is place at each service.
Does woman precede man under
these circumstances? Wouldn't 1t be
better for the man to go first to find
seats?
Answer-In this case there are two
equally proper ways Of taking places
in church. Usually the aisle Of
church Is very wide, plenty wide
enough for a man and his wife, or
any other woman he is accompanying,
to walk up the aisle side by side. But
she should decide how far down she
would like to 60. She would prob
ably stand moment, look at the
seats and glance up at him. He
would nod in assent, and she take her
place and he sit beside her. On the
other hand, if the church is already
filled, 1t would be quite proper If he,
seeing two seats, were to stop and
motion to them exactly as an usher
would. She would then follow and
take her place first.

nEAR MRS. POST: Is 1t improper
to ask a waiter, or waitress, the
meaning of foreign names on menu?
On occasion, when have mustered
up the courage to ask about dish
before taking chance on ordering 1t,
have felt that my display of ignor-
ance had very unhappy effect on
the person serving us. In other words.
from that time on I've thought his
manner very superior.
Answer-On the contrary. 1t Is en-
tirely proper to ask q waiter for the
meaning Of foreign or unusual terms.
There are, 1t is true, certain French
expressions which are used so often
that 1t is just as well to, learn the
terms which are encountered on
almost every menu. On the other
hand, dishes are often named for .
special chef or even for patron OF
the house, and the waiter has to go
to the pantry. or to the head waiter,
or out into the kitchen and ask the
chef himself. As matter Of fact,
one of our national faults Is our fear
of being thought ignorant. But after
all. We live very far from other coun-
tries and II 1t so happens that we are
not familiar with the names Of their
dishes it is so much better to ask
frankly for information than 1t is to
order something which we might not
| want at all.

In order to get hyacinth bulbs
to flower satisfactorily. it is nee
essary that they should make q
fair number of roots before they
begin to make top growth, and
for this reason it is usual to keep
the bulbs in the dark for a few
weeks after potting them or plac-
ing them in glasses, as the case
may be. Darkness is not wholly
essential, although GOODNESS GER

can be combined. it seems to have

Dorothy Dix Says
Daughters Are Greatest Problem
For Their Mothers Today.
TN FORMER times it was worry over

N FORMER times it was worry over
their wild and wayward sons that
turned mothers hair gray before
= its time. Now it is anxiety over
their far-stepping daughters that does
1t. Then mothers sang: Where Is
My Wandering Boy Tonight" Now
their song is: Where Is My Wander
ing Girl Tonight"
In the past rearing girl WAS the
simplest and easiest thing in the
world There was as unfailing
recipe for it as there was for making
sponge cake. You took a little pink
bundle Of femininity, wrapped it up in
white muslin and blue ribbons and
sent it to school; kept casual eye on
it when boys took it out to parties
and saw that it was returned in good
order: then some nice young man
married it, took it of your hands and
you hadn't had bit Of trouble or got
a headache in the process.
No woman who belonged to mice
people" ever thought OF the possibility
of her daughter going out on wild par
ties and coming home drunk at 8 or 4
o'clock in the morning: or of her
straying of the straight and narrow
path. Nor did she dream Of having to
deal with q 15-year-old miss who de-
fed her authority and asserted her
right to do as she pleased and run
with tough crowd.
RUT that all Is changed now. Nova
days bringing up girl is the most
nerve--wracking and DEMONSTRATING
Job on earth because the dangers
among which every girl walks are 80
many; the things that can happen to
her are 80 terrible; the price she must
pay for her mistakes is so great. Every
mother knows how powerless she Is to
protect her little eve lamb once she
goes out Of the home fold into the
world where the wolves are waiting to
devour her.
For mother can't 60 with daughter
into the business houses where she
works. She can't guard her against
fiirtatious employers and handsome
lads with way with them and no
morals. She can't crowd into the au-
tomobiles when daughter goes on JOY
rides. She can't snatch the highbAll
glass out Of her daughters hand, or
police her petting parties In parked
automobiles. She can only pray God
to keep her darling safe. Sometimes
her prayer Is answered and sometimes
1t isn't.
I have said over and over in this
column that every modern girl has to
be- her own chaperone. She must be
her own protector. She will stand or
fall according to the principles that
her mother has bred in her and the
code she has taught her. Mother has
to do her work while Mamie and Sadie
are in the cradle. It Is too late after
they are in their teens.
There Is q new book called '"Ihe
Story Of Motherhood, by DR.. Roy D.
Finney. that wish every mother who
trusts to luck the way her daughters

:DAUoHTERs are a highly indi-
viduaized and self-sufhcient set
Of younglings, quick to resent any
parental encroachment on what they
consider their rights, yet there are
certain rules which should be laid
down by parents One of the most i'm
portant is discipline Discipline is as
essential to character as blood is to
life, it is the vital sustenance Of those
finer qualities that distinguish lady
from a strumpet, gentleman from a
boor.
And the sine qua non Of discipline
is obedience to constituted authority,
which in childhood is the parent and
in maturity the law Of the land and
established social custom. The child
who disobeys his parents will. as
man, disobey the law. am convinced
that virtually all the criminals of the
world were in their formative years
disobedient, undisciplined children.
"A well-disciplined daughter will
not nnd 1t necessary to extricate her
self from many close places Being
obedient, she comes home at rea-
sonable hour, refuses invitations to
parties that are not properly chaper-
oned, does not drink, neck or paw. Ac-
cepts advice from her parents in the
matter of friendships, and otherwise
conducts herself in a genteel and lady,
like manner. Soon she finds herself
classified as a nice girl. and once she
is in that fold she is as safe as vestal
virgin" DOROTHY DIX.

Arizona was in no mood to continue

her fist at the pile of wraps that lay

on Fitzroyal's overcoat. and as she

For most people. mental growth
and happiness come from developing
their own ideas. not from being con-
stantly told to do this or that. The
successful leader inspires interest and
a desire to cooperate, rather than a
reluctant obedience.
The nagger is continual thorn in

accomplishes almost nothing, because
after a while his victims learn to
ignore him.
He is lucky if they do not also learn

Even at three-thirty in the morning
traffic is pretty active around Covent
Garden and Officer Hilton was accus-
toned to odd things happening there.
But the most surprising OF them all
was the sudden loss of his helmet. At
one moment it was on his head and the
next moment an open taxi was all but
upon him - taxi in which female
demon stood cracking a dreadful. long
black whip. And then, astonishingly.
the taxi had passed him and so had
his helmet. The female demon had
cracked her whip about it. lifting it
neatly from his head, and was driving
away with it in derisive mirth. 1t was
the sort of incident which was beastly
difficult to report properly.
Curiously enough. Arizona was also
having some difficulty in making her
report. 1t was not from any lack Of
eagerness to do so. but that back in

had not been able to start his car The
rest of the hunt had taken all the

desperate hurry. OF course. Arizona's

he picked them up and stuffed them
into one Of the pillovcases on his bed.

But then, one never knows.
Meanwhile Arizona was working

the pound note with which she per-

her admiration for the Queen, though
he felt it his duty to tell her that the

were tied Suppose il was put to vote
and that low down kangaroo-rat got
the right to ask her, his unspoken

rs that all?" she asked. During
breathless silence. Fitzroyal shrugged
and nodded. Then Arizona produced
policeman's helmet from under her
chair. swung it up atop her golden
head. and picked up little package.
Crossing the room, she stood very
close to Fitzroyal. and on top OF the
bundle Of Julia's letters she held before
him lay his keys in their little leather
case. CHALLENGED" murmured Arizona.
Il was raised in part Of the world
where folks cache things in all sorts Of
funny places, for instance. even in
pillowcases. Take look at the writing
on this top envelope. please"
Mr.. Herbert Fitnoyal took a look
and an uncomfortable. instructive fear
and anger caused him to make an un-
wary grab for them. But he was just
too late. With little laugh. Arizona
threw the letters onto the open fire
where they curled and writhed much
as their late possessor must have been
doing inwardly as he watched them.
And now for the prize" said Ari-
iona gaily. waving her helmet. Il pick
on Mr.. Fitzroyal. and | want him to
take nice long sea voyage, starting
tomorrow, or rather this morning"
Then. before the startled company
could catch breath, the door was
opened unceremoniously and several
policemen entered - one without
helmet. The whip-snappipg of that
particular trophy had undoubtedly
been a mistake Clutching the helmet
toher blonde head. Arizona gave little
gasp and turned to Julia.
Its your turn now! she said
frightenedly. Send for Tonyr
Half an hour later at the Vine Street
police station a bespectacled official
leaned heavily across his desk and
with strong disapproval regarded
Arizona, whose head rested tiredly on
Tony Spratt's wide shoulder.
